CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
16200 Eagle Creek Avenue S.E.
Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714
MEETING DATE: May 3, 2004
AGENDA #: 10-E
PREPARED BY: Susan Walsh, Assistant City Manager
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AGREEMENT
WITH SCOTT COUNTY FOR CIRCULATOR ROUTE SERVICE
DISCUSSION: Historv: For the past four years, Scott County Transit in cooperation with the City
has provided dial-a-ride service during the summer months for Prior Lake
residents. The additional service during this peak period of time has proven to be
a valuable service to our residents. Each year an average of 1400 riders used
our summer transit services as a means to get to summer school, work,
appointments and various summer activities.
Current Circumstances: This year staff is recommending that our summer transit
program switch from dial-a-ride to a circular bus route service. For City Council
approval is the Agreement between Scott County and the City of Prior Lake that
addresses the requirements needed to put this new service into place.
Attached is a proposed schedule consisting of 14 bus stops throughout the city
and 12 bus routes running at various times throughout the day, Monday through
Friday. The various bus stops for pickup and drop off of riders were established
based on a variety of factors: (1) dial-a-ride data from previous years; (2)
summer school class schedules at Hidden Oaks Middle School and Prior Lake
High School; (3) popular summer destination points such as Lakefront
ParklWatzl's Beach and Sand Point Beach; (4) targeted places of employment;
and (5) shopping and dining. From previous years, a number of dial-a-ride users
went to summer school and to work at Valley Fair. Therefore, staff focused on
setting route times to meet these two demands as well as to get riders to various
drop off and pick up points throughout the city. The schedule also provides rides
to the Southbridge Wal-Mart in Shakopee where riders can connect with a
Shakopee bus to Valley Fair and then on to the Burnsville Transit Station. There
riders have the option of taking a MVT A bus to the Mall of America and back.
More service to a larger number of riders is the main reason staff is
recommending a circular route service. The circulator bus route will provide
continuous service to 14 destination and pickup points throughout the day. This
service will also stop and pickup or drop off riders anywhere along the route if it is
safe to do so. Residents only need to notify Scott County Transit the day before.
Future plans are to have stops along Main Street through downtown, Priordale
Mall and other areas throughout the city.
The fare is $1.00 per ride, and punch cards will be available.

Conclusion: Prior Lake residents rely upon summer transportation service, and
staff recommends that the City expand on this service by implementing a
circulator route service in cooperation with Scott County Transportation.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Agreement with Scott County will be effective June 7,2004 through August
27, 2004 which coincides with the service dates. Scott County will bill the city
based on actual costs for wages, fuel, ?lnd vehicle maintenance costs. The
maximum billing amount will not exceed $6,800 per month or $20,400 for 2004.
This is an increase from $6,000 per month or $18,000 per year for dial-a-ride
service in 2003. Adequate funds have been budgeted in the transit operating
budget.
ISSUES: The policy question is whether the Council wishes to continue to offer additional
transit service to the community and to change from dial-a-ride to a circulator
route service.
Dial-a-ride services tend to become defacto circulator routes as the same people
use the service on a regular schedule. There is some risk that we will accrue a
greater number of miles with fewer passengers. But we hope that this year will
help us to refine the route so that it will be more productive next year.
The internal circulator route is consistent with the 2020 Vision and Strategic Plan
in that it is intended to connect the lake, Lakefront Park and the Downtown from a
transit perspective. Once slips are installed at Watzl's Point, boaters will be able
to use the circulator to get to and from downtown.
In past years, the cost per rider for dial-a-ride was $10 per rider. Even with the
increased operating costs staff believes this figure will remain the same if rider
numbers increase as anticipated. This will be a change in service from previous
years, and some residents will need to get use to going to a bus stop rather than
having the bus come to their home. But, by having several route times and
destination points, the circulator route should provide more options to riders who
used our service in previous years.
ALTERNATIVES: (1) Motion to adopt a resolution approving an agreement between Scott County
and the City of Prior Lake for Circulator Route Service. and to authorize the
mayor and city manager to execute said agreement.
(2) Deny and provide staff with direction.
RECOMMENDED
MOTION: Alternative No. 1

RE:
May 3, 2004 Agenda Item 10-E - Agreement with Scott County for a Circulator
Route
After the City Council packets were delivered yesterday, Scott County staff members notified me
about some minor changes they wanted made to the Agreement. These changes are for
clarification purposes, and I agree with their suggested changes.
Attached is a revised agreement for your consideration at the May 3,2004 Council Meeting. The
revisions are as follows:
1. Section 1 - Purpose of Aareement: Public Works Department is changed to Public Works
Division.
2. Section 2.1 - (line 1) The word, transportation, is changed to the word, transit.
3. Section 2.3.2 - (line 1) The word, transportation, is changed to the word, transit.
4. Section 2.6 - The first sentence is changed to read: The City shall allow some customers
to use this service without charging a fare at time of the ride. (This provision provides for
the City to give out free ride passes as a promotional item or we could have a young rider
who needs a bus ride and doesn't have any money (because he spent it all at one of our
concessions) .
5. Section 4 (2nd paragraph) - June 27th (typo) date replaced with June 7th -- which is when the
service begins.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 447-9802.
