i. The MTS Dart Program is scheduled to be terminated in Scripps Ranch. Dart goes door to door to pick up patrons who call and ask for a ride. Minimum 2hrs to 24hrs call request/notice prior to service, it’s like a taxis service. The DART budget was cut by $11million due to decline in Sales Tax Revenue. DART wants to work with the community to develop an alternate source of transportation. One Southern California community has developed a program to pay for a blocked amount of time on the bus. The Motion at the City board (in November) was to extend the service until April 08, and MTS to work with the community until April 08 to find an alternate service for the community. Now the date has been postponed to June 08 for the cessation of DART Service in Scripps Ranch. A public hearing meeting will be held on Feb 21, 2008 at the MTS where the Board of Directors will hear input on the proposed discontinuation. List of answers to the questions raised by the subcommittee to be sent electronically to SRPG after the meeting. By the end of next Tuesday, the questions should be answered and sent back to SRPG. SRPG would like to know how many communities within the city limits of S.Diego, how many does not have any public transportation services like DART.

h. SR LMD-MAD (G.Boerner) – Action regarding a grant request
The Recreation Council previously requested a $700K approval of joint use field at the high school, yet the bids are coming in much higher. SRPG to consider increasing approval up to $800K from the previously approved $700K. Motion: B.Goerner 2nd: Peter Wulff (13-0-0) Jerry Mitchell introduced the Grant from Fire Council proposal to have SR offer in-kind funding to match the federal grant from the forest service of $91K. Scripps Ranch Tree contract currently covers 70% of removal of dead trees and fire fuel from fire break areas that may be eligible to be used for this matching in-kind grant. $270K yearly is paid by MADD for Fire Safe Council to remove fire fuel. Request a letter to be written from SRPG and send to Sacramento to qualify for the matching grants from the Forest Service for a 5 to 1 match. Perhaps the university has a large fire fuel removal expenses, Crown Point and other Home Owners Associations will be requested to assist in creating this matching grant.
