RECCI~qENDATICN:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of April 19, 1982, authorize
the Mayor to execute the Transit Center Feasibility Study ~greement and
direct staff to include the amount of $5,000.00 into the 1982-83 budget as
the City's s~lare of the cost for said study.
On April 5, 1982, the City Council reviewed the O.C.T.D. request for the
City to participate in the LarwinSquareTransitCenter Feasibility Study
on a cost shared basis between O.C.T.D. and the City with a maximum
individual cost to each agency of $5,000.00. Some of the primary concerns
of the Council were as follows:
a. Consideration of sites other than the immediate vicinity of Larwin
Square, i.e. the industrial area or outside of the City.
b. Increase in the number of buses within the ¢~',uf.,nity.
The attached O.C.T.D. letter and scope of work is in response to the
Council's concerns. It has been indicated that there is no ma]or change in
the number of routes or level of service contemplated at this time. A
portion of the scope of work will be to assess the long term bus and
passenger demands which will certainly dictate the future number of buses
required within the comnunity.
The O.C.T.D. letter did not directly answer the concern of locating any
facility at a location other than the inlllediate vicinity of Larwin Square.
However, staff feels that this can and should be addressed in the
feasibility study and more particularly in items 1 ar~ 2 of the scope of
~rk.
As indicated in the O.C.T.D. letter, the study is a joint study between
both agencies and any recommendations will have to be mutually acceptable
before they are adopted.
A copy of the March 19, 1982 staff report ar~ agreement has been attached
for your information.

Dear Mr. Ledendecker:
RECEIVEC,
TUSTINBy PUB~KS DF. PT,
SUBJECT: SCOPE OF WORK - LARWIN SQUARE TRANSIT CENTER
FEASIBILITY STUDY
With respect to the conversation you had with Mike Haack of my staff on April
6 regarding your City Council's concerns about the study, we would like to
clarify and reaffirm that the intent of the study, as agreed by both staffs,
is to solve existing operational and capacity problems at Larwin Square. No
major change in the number of routes or level of service is contemplated at
this time. Since this study is a joint study by the City and the District,
any recommendations from the study will have to be mutually acceptable before
they are adopted. Furthermore, any future changes in service will be scruti-
nized by the City and the District to insure that they will not adversely
affect the operations in and around the City.
Attached is the scope of work for the Larwin Square Transit Center Feasibility
Study. As indicated, various on and off-site solutions will be explored and
the consultant is expected to work with both staffs intimately throughout the
course of the study. If you would have any problems with the scope of work,
please let us know.
We are hopeful that this information will be of use to you and your City
Council in making a decision on the agreement. Please contact me or Mike
Haack at 971-6405, should you have any questions.

~TION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their m~eting of April 5, 1982, authorize the
Mayor to execute the Transit Center Feasibility Study Agreement and direct staff
to include the amount of $5,000.00 into the 1982-83 budget as the City's share of
the cost for said study.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past few years, the c~u~nity and staff have expressed concerns regarding
the O.C.T.D. bus layover zones along First St. adjacent to Larwin Square.
Initially, as the bus service u~,,,~nced, the on-street First Street location was
sufficient; but, as the transit service increases, we nrast look forward to future
needs and the potential of providing a transit center. This feasibility study
will help address these future needs of the Transit District and the co~nunity.
DISCUSSIC~:
The O.C.T.D. has requested that the City enter into a joint agreement for a
Transit Center Feasibility Study, wherein several sites within the immediate area
of Larwin Square would be studied for such a facility. This facility could be a
joint use facility where the ground level could be used for the transit center and
the uuper level could be office space that could be sold or leased.
The agreement states that the O.C.T.D.'s or City's individual obligation shall not
exceed $5,000.00. The City's share could be funded from either general fund or
revenue sharing monies during the 1982-83 fiscal year.
This agreement has been forwarded to the City Attorney's office concurrently for
his review and comment. His comments can be presented at the April 5th Council
m~eting.
