WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach, California held a meeting on

to as "DOT") issued a final rule implementing the transportation -related provisions of the
ADA (49 CFR Parts 27,37 and 38, Transportation for Individuals with Disabilities); and
C . Subpart F, Sections 37.121 and 37.135 of 49 CFR 37 requires that each fixed route transit
operator provide complementary paratransit service to disabled individuals, prepare a plan
for implementation of such service and begin service implementation by January 26, 1992;
and
D. Subpart F, Sections 37.141 of 49 CFR 37 allows the preparation and submittal of a single
coordinated paratransit plan among the operators of fixed route transit service with
overlapping and contiguous service areas; and

system in Los Angles County and is required to begin implementation of ADA -eligible
complementary paratransit service and submit a paratransit plan to DOT by January 26,
1992 and annually thereafter; and
F. The Los Angles County Transportation Commission (hereinafter refereed to as "LACTC"),
which is mandated by state statutes to coordinate paratransit services in Los Angles
County, has determined that the development of a countywide coordinated paratransit
network (hereinafter known as the "Network") is the most appropriate and effective means
of meeting the ADA obligations of the Los Angles County fixed route transit operators; and
G . The LACTC has agreed to prepare the comprehensive DOT -required annual coordinated
paratransit plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") for all participating Los Angeles
County fixed route transit providers who pass resolutions supporting the Plan; and
H . The LACTC has agreed to prepare and submit an interim plan including such support
resolutions to DOT by January 26, 1992 and prepare and submit the complete countywide
coordinated paratransit plan to DOT by July 26, 1992; and
I. The LACTC has agreed to coordinate the implementation of complementary paratransit
services through the development of a countywide paratransit network and begin
implementation of a coordinated paratransit network to provide the mandated transportation
services; and
J . The LACTC will provide funding for the cost of the mandated services above the costs
expended by the City for elderly and disabled transit services.
