Effective 10'06 -13 SUBJECT /RECOMMENDATION: ..Title Approve a one -year Grant Funding Agreement, in the amount of $179,778 between Jolley Trolley Transportation of Clearwater, Inc. and the City of Clearwater for the operation of transportation and trolley service on Clearwater Beach, Island Estates and Sand Key (Beach Route) and the Coastal Route, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. ..Body SUMMARY: The Jolley Trolley Transportation of Clearwater, Inc. (Jolley Trolley) has been operating trolley service throughout the Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, and Sand Key areas since 1982. The non - profit's mission is to reduce congestion and improve mobility in this area for both tourists and residents. In addition, the Jolley Trolley has become a tourist venue that differentiates Clearwater Beach from other beaches in the area. The Jolley Trolley expects to transport over 200,000 passengers for FY 2015 -16, not including Clearwater Marine Aquarium passengers. This fiscal year, the Jolley Trolley had 825,000 riders, a 58% increase in ridership due to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Clearwater Beach had a healthy 5.3% ridership increase. The Jolley Trolley currently has a fleet of 23 trolleys with an average age of 8.5 years. The Jolley Trolley accomplishments for FY 2014 -15 are: • Increased beach route ridership by 5.3% over prior year; • Added four new trolleys to the fleet; • Revised Coastal Map and Guide to include Safety Harbor, currently distributing 60,000 copies. The Jolley Trolley Clearwater Map continues to be the #1 map used by concierges on the beach; and • Re- certified all drivers on ADA sensitivity and hands -on training was provided on proper loading of wheel chairs and safety tie downs. Jolley Trolley's overall plans for FY 2015 -16 include: • Will begin enhancement of the Jolley Trolley's technology; • Advertising program will be evaluated to see what changes or modifications will need to be made for today's advertiser; • A new website will be rolled -out in the first quarter; • Offices will relocate to the North Myrtle Avenue location for cost savings in rent and all employees will now be located in one spot; • Succession Planning continues to attract employees that see the Jolley Trolley as a career, rather than just a job; and • Will continue to maintain the Jolley Trolley's Capital Expenditure Strategy that allows for the continued refurbishment of the fleet of trolleys. Beach Route Historically, the City has supported the Beach Route which connects Clearwater Beach, Sand Key, and Island Estates. The City's contribution to this route last year was $163,443. The Jolley Trolley expense forecast for FY 2015 -16 for the Beach Route is $628,171. PSTA matches the City of Ciearwater's contributions (both grant funding and in -kind services with its lease on Myrtle) at $190,201. Fares cover 23% of total revenue with advertising covering 19% of revenue. PSTA has agreed to increase their contribution for the CMA route by 5.8 %, bringing the total to $14,304 for FY 15 -16. The City of Clearwater has agreed to provide the staging /parking facility ($18,000) which will be spread to all four routes in expense models. The $179,778 represents a 7.6% overall increase; the first increase since FY 11 -12. This represents an hourly cost increase of 5.8% from the previous $57.43. Also, the total hours of 9,608 include a projected decrease of 782 hours compared to FY 14 -15 due to efficiencies. FY 16 -17 is planned with a capped increase of 3 %. Coastal Route Five years ago, the Jolley Trolley began the Coastal Route that starts at Island Estates and progresses through Downtown Clearwater, into Dunedin, Palm Harbor and ends in Tarpon Springs. The route travels only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and takes approximately one hour to make the Island Estates to Tarpon Springs trip. Last year, a route to Safety Harbor through Westfield Countryside Mall was added as well. When the Downtown Development Board (DDB) could not cover the increase in the cost for the Coastal Route, the PSTA proposed that if the DDB's contribution could remain constant at $9,220, the PSTA would match the $3,881 difference if the City of Clearwater contributed the remaining $3,881 to make up the full $16,982 contribution to the Clearwater portion of the route. The city agreed and this agreement reflects the same commitment as last year. The Coastal Route has become an important component of providing additional options to tourists staying on the Beach and connecting them to Downtown as well as other Pinellas County locations. The Jolley Trolley expense forecast for the Coastal Route is $339,631. The City's contribution is approximately 1.6 %. Fares cover approximately 24% and advertising covers 6 %. The other coastal partners cover $33,963 each to the route. PSTA's portion is $122,752. Contract Terms The term of the agreement is for one year. The Economic Development and Housing Department administers the agreement. The attached Jolley Trolley's Business Plan covers the proposed revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year for both the Beach Route and the Coastal Route. As part of this agreement, the Jolley Trolley will prepare a quarterly report that tracks high -level financials, ridership numbers, accident frequency, and on -time adherence to schedule. The City will use these items as a measure of performance. $179,778 has been budgeted in the Parking Fund's FY15 -16 operating budget to fund this agreement.
