  • The Mayor Shall Make an Annual Report to the City Council As to the Conditions and Affairs of the City.”
    This presentation fulfils the Charter requirement that “The Mayor shall make an annual report to the City Council as to the conditions and affairs of the City.” 1 In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus is the god of beginnings and transitions, and thereby of gates, doors, doorways, passages and endings, a suitable icon for this presentation for several reasons. Janus is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past. It is conventionally thought that the month of January is named for Janus. This report has two parts: The first part describes Richmond in many different ways. The second part describes the many projects and programs that the Mayor’s Office will prioritize in the coming year. 2 First of all, I want to thank Mayor McLaughlin, the City Council, Bill Lindsay and his management team and all City employees for a great eight years. Richmond has truly changed for the better, and we want to continue the momentum. 3 I want to introduce the Mayor’s Office staff. Everyone knows Terrance Cheung who moved over from Supervisor John Gioia’s Office. David Gray, who was a City Council intern while in graduate school at Cal, recently relocated from Louisiana. And Alex Knox, a Richmond native, headed up our successful election campaign. 4 The mayor’s job description is in the City Charter. Richmond is a Council‐Manager form of government and the city manager is the City’s chief executive. The mayor does not run the city, but according the Charter, has a number of responsibilities and a staff of three to research, advocate, educate and lobby.

  • Receive an Update on the Affordable Student Transit Pass Pilot Program
    Memorandum 8.2 DATE: September 15, 2016 SUBJECT: Affordable Student Transit Pass Pilot Program Update RECOMMENDATION: Receive an update on the Affordable Student Transit Pass Pilot Program. Summary The 2014 Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) includes implementation of an affordable student transit pass pilot program in Alameda County. Its purpose is to test and evaluate different pilot program designs of an affordable transit pass program over a three-year horizon to identify successful model programs that could be expanded and sustained with additional funding sources after the pilot program period. In May 2016, the Commission approved the school sites for Year One of the program (2016-2017 school year), general program parameters for each site, and the shortlist of 36 schools which is the potential pool for additional school sites in year 2 of the pilot program if feasible and if funding is available. During summer 2016, the program parameters were refined in close coordination with each school site to support an effective pilot approach to meet the program goals, and staff entered into agreements and contracts with the applicable transit agencies and school districts. Pilot programs were launched at the school sites in Alameda County that are receiving transit passes. Background The Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) has undertaken the development, implementation, and evaluation of an Affordable Student Transit Pass Program (Affordable STPP) which it is piloting in middle schools and high schools in the four Alameda County planning areas starting this 2016-2017 school year. This pilot program provides a vital opportunity to assess student transportation needs in the county and develop an approach to meet those needs through implementation of a pass program.
