He stated that he hoped the booklet would be of benefit to all Board Members. • Opportunity for.Public Comment Mr. Rendon called for public comment from the audience. Mr. Alan Aaron, a driver for MV Transportation, stated that he was addressing the Board to ask for their help in addressing working conditions and payroll issues with MV. He stated that he has had problems getting uniforms and has not received full compensation for overtime work or for training new employees. He also stated that he had been assaulted on the bus and was not provided assistance. Ms. Dorothy Uvalle, a B-Line rider, asked for assistance on behalf of the riders. She stated that riders were provided with an outbound trip but then were told that a return trip could not be provided.. She expressed her concern that someone would be hurt if left without a return trip as she was on one incident when she was left without a trip at 12 midnight. On another trip she was denied a return trip but while at the site, another B-Line rider was being picked up and she asked if she could also be taken. home. The driver had called the office and was told that she could not provide the return trip. Ms. Uvalle stated that she had to ride the fixed route and was injured • because the ramps could not accommodate the combined weight of her and her wheelchair. Another concern was that someone other than the rider was canceling trips. Mr. Sammy Trevino, a B-Line rider, agreed with Ms. Uvalle about the procedure of scheduling an outbound trip without a return trip. He also noted that he has been told that an early pick up can be accommodated and that when he calls he is told that is not possible. He also stated that he has had trips cancelled without his knowledge. He commented on the difficulty he has riding Route 27 and 34 because of the need.to go from one street to another and the inability of the ramps to accommodate his wheelchair. He also asked why the bus stop located on West Avenue F could not be used. Regional Transportation Authority Board of Directors Meeting Minutes August 6,2003 Page 3 of 13 Mr. Alonzo asked the speakers to acknowledge if they were acquainted with him and the response was that they did not know Mr. Alonzo. Mr. Elias Vasquez, Robstown Councilman, stated that on behalf of the Mayor and City Council he was expressing his appreciation for the many projects RTA has undertaken which have benefited the city of Robstown such as the bus shelter at Aviators Stadium, the main street improvements and the surplus vehicle disposition program. He acknowledged Mr. Taylor, Mr. Sanchez and Ms. Watson, RTA employees, for their excellent work in partnering with the City of Robstown. He announced that Robstown had been selected as one of twenty rural communities in Texas for showing leadership in economic development and that five communities would be recognized throughout the year. If selected, the RTA would be acknowledged as contributing to the City's success. Mr. Roland Garza recited the saying "attitude reflects leadership" indicating that the drivers are always willing to do for the people. He stated that he believed that one issue was resolved at the last meeting when the Board agreed to meet with the Association either during a regularly scheduled meeting or in a workshop to address concerns. He expressed the opinion that the Board should know when it appears that management is not working with employees. He said that there were employees who had over 150 hours of sick leave and they were dictated when they could use their leave. If they used the leave when they wanted to, then they were threatened with letters of disciplinary action based on leave abuse. He stated that employees continue to be harassed. He cited appreciation for comments that have been expressed by Board Members, Mr. Terry, Mr. Rodriguez, Mr. Alonzo, Mr. Barrera and Mr. Corder. He commented that the statement had been made that the Association did not understand the 13c agreement and he asked if anyone had explained it to the Board. He stated this was why they needed to have a workshop because without communication, there was no representation. Ms. Laura Salas, a B-Line employee for four years, stated that since MV had assumed management, even though she was considered a full-time employee she was working part time hours. Based on her reduced working hours, she had to secure a second job and leave her children unattended. She also stated that she was unable to purchase medical insurance because she could not afford it. Mr. David Garcia, Teamsters representative, stated that since MV has assumed management of the B-Line service, employees have been subjected to a drastic change in their working environment. There has been a more hostile environment in the workplace. Mr. Munson, according to Mr. Garcia, stated there would be a $1 per hour salary increase, but this increase was not distributed equally across the board. He called the Board's attention to the following concerns: 1) drivers' salaries this year would not equal last year's salary; 2) at least one paycheck per pay period is • underpaid and on one occasion it took five days to rectify the problem; and 3) the Regional Transportation Authority Board of Directors Meeting Minutes August 6,2003 Page 4 of 13 bare bones insurance was not affordable to use and when MV was questioned about the plan being offered they were told that was the best plan that could be offered. Continuing with his comments, Mr. Garcia stated that the union has been non- aggressive in addressing various concerns in an effort to help MV during the transition period and to provide a harmonious working environment. He stated that new leadership was needed that understood the South Texas culture and was sensitive to the needs of the employees as well as the riders. He said that in six months the current management had alienated the workers and many riders. He expressed the concern that B-Line service was sinking rapidly and he asked for help inimproving the service. He also stated that he did not know if the current concerns were reflective of the present management or of MV Corporation management style. Mr. Greg Salazar, teamster manager for local 1110, out of San Antonio, stated that during contract negotiations when they met with MV transportation they heard a lot of promises which have not been kept even though they have been given time to follow through on their promises. He noted that they were not working as a group and asked that the harmony be restored and that the Board listened to the complaints. Ms. Connie Saiz, MV bus operator, stated that within the last four months she had returned to work at B-Line and has seen riders not picked up and on occasion it is because the rider does not have the fare which could be charged to the rider at a • later date. She mentioned a driver assault in which the driver was told it was his fault and cited an incident where she felt threatened by a rider and was not provided with assistance. She questioned the policy that a rider cannot be asked to leave the bus. Ms. Watson introduced Mr. Wayne Fritz and Mr. Kevin Klika, MV Transportation; Mr. Alan Wulkan with P B Consult, who will be performing the environmental assessment study and Sharon Greene, Greene and Associates, who will be developing the 20 year financial plan. Mr. Rendon stated that a meeting would be held with MV Transportation management to discuss the issues raised at this meeting and identify a resolution of the concerns.

Regional Transportation Authority Board of Directors Meeting Minutes August 6,2003 Page 10 of 13 In response to Mr. Barrera regarding liquidated damages report, Ms. Collins stated that efforts were underway to finalize the report. Mr. Terry expressed concern about no shows and cancellations and the effect it had on the operational cost. He recommended that staff in coordination with the RTAC committee identity the basic issues and develop a plan for addressing these issues. Ms. Staley assured Mr. Terry that this concern would be addressed in the fall by the committee and staff. Ms. Wilkinson inquired if MV Transportation has been providing timely and improved reports as promised in their presentation. Ms. Collins stated that the on-time performance report is generated using the trapeze reporting system and she has not audited the reports for accuracy. After they are audited, then she could move into a statistical based sampling of the data. The remaining reports are being presented in a timely manner. Responding to Mr. Barrera, Ms. Watson.replied that RTA and MV staff have been addressing passenger issues. There were some outstanding issues which would be addressed and the Board would be updated on those findings. Purchased Transportation Six-Month Update Ms. Tackett, using a PowerPoint presentation, offered the following update on commitments made when they assumed management of the B-Line service. • Referencing their commitment to reduce no-shows, she noted a reduction of 16% compared to last year. This could be attributed to implementation of the Customer Call Program in May 2003. Their commitment to improve productivity was being addressed by revising the drivers' schedules to reflect demand, improving scheduling efficiency, and continuously reviewing trip requests and schedules. A late trip voucher program implemented in May 2003 and the automated tracking of late trips was developed to address the =on-time performance commitment. She noted that between May 1 and July 31, 2003 approximately 1,563 late trip vouchers had been issued. Over viewing the commitment to reduce employee turnover, Ms. Tackett, pointed out that in January the turnover rate was 19%. It continued to decline and as of July was at 4%. She noted that the majority of turnover was by non-transitional employees or new hires. A Driver Retention Program and a Mentoring Program were implemented to aide in reducing turnover. The final commitment, having a supervisor on duty during all hours of operation has been addressed by designing the supervisor's schedules to provide maximum i Regional Transportation Authority Board of Directors Meeting Minutes August 6,2003 Page 11 of 13 coverage during peak periods and providing at least one supervisor on duty during all hours of operation. Continuing with her report,Ms. Tackett commented on the challenges that have been encountered. The first challenge has been improving employee morale. She reported that two health insurance options were offered to the employees in January and they had voted on their preferred choice; an open door management style is practiced; the full-time driver positions were increased from 28 to 44; provided employee recognition and various amenities; and implemented a driver recruitment and retention plan. Responding to Mr. Terry's inquiry, Ms. Tackett stated that a person working 35 hours was considered a full-time employee. The second challenge has been productivity and service costs. To address this issue they have been reducing the vehicle hours which was evidenced by the total vehicle hours in April of 5,900 compared to the 5,300 hours in June; adjusting the parameter settings. She explained that on Saturday and Sunday the productivity has been lower than the productivity on Monday through Friday due partially to the fact that group trips are not scheduled during the weekends. Continuing with her presentation, Ms. Tackett spoke on the on-time performance measurement. She cited improvements with scheduling same day service; identifying Trapeze database geocoding errors; and maximizing the MDT system as areas that have been addressed to increase on-time performance. Ms. Tackett highlighted that their focus would be on reducing service hours, increasing productivity, eliminating denials, reducing no-shows and cancellations and improving recruitment and retention. In response to Mr. Alonzo, Ms. Tackett stated that the internal denial policy has been revised to not allow for denials to be placed into the system without prior approval of a Manager or Scheduler. Mr. Terry asked if a supplemental provider such as a taxi has been considered. Ms. Tackett expressed the concern that it would add to the number of vehicle hours and could not provide group trips. Ms. Diane Staley noted that customer service and satisfaction was not listed as a focus area and she felt these were important areas to address in coordination with addressing service issues. Ms. Tackett stated that it was a part of their daily operation procedure. i Regional Transportation Authority Board of Directors Meeting Minutes August 6,2003 Page 12 of 13 Ms. Watson stated that a reduction has been realized in terms of service hours, miles and productivity but there was still a significant increase over the same period last year. She also noted that the approach taken to achieve the reduction had impacted employee morale. She inquired if a plan had been developed to address the issue. Mr. Rendon expressed the need for strong management in order to maintain good employer/employee relations. He also stressed the need to follow through on commitments that have been made. He pointed out that since MV assumed operation of the service, they have been provided with new computers, servers, and telephone system compared to the equipment used by the previous company and still have experienced difficulty in meeting goals and are currently over budget. He also noted that instead of being provided with solutions for concerns, the Board has been provided with excuses. Ms. Tackett addressed the over budget concern. She stated that the contract budgeted for 66,000 vehicle hours per year and currently they were at 33, 300 vehicle hours per year. She explained that because of the increased productivity and decreased service hours she believed that the contract would meet the budgeted amount. • Ms. Watson remarked that when the purchased transportation service was bid out, the service was being operated with high performance measures and MV had committed to meeting and/or exceeding those measures. She acknowledged that ridership had increased by 2% but also noted that operating hours are 14% higher, revenue hours are 13% higher and even though they had decreased recently, they reflect a 10-15% increase compared to last year. She asked if there was a plan to address the issues. There was a brief discussion regarding the reduction in pay that has been experienced by the bus operators. Ms. Tackett explained that there was a planned reduction of overtime pay. Also she noted that a new schedule was being developed to meet the current rider demand. Mr. Klika, Chief Operating Officer, MV Transportation, acknowledged the concerns expressed. He asked for a 30-day reprieve to put a plan together to meet the needs and expectations of the Board and community. General Manager's Report Ms. Watson reported that a detailed report on the disposal of surplus vehicles and equipment would be provided at the August Operations Committee meeting; bids Regional Transportation Authority • Board of Directors Meeting Minutes August 6,2003 Page 13 of 13 had been issued for the demolition of the old administration building; and a meeting would be held this afternoon on the Environmental Assessment study to review a detailed schedule for the twelve-month project. Also mentioned by Ms. Watson was that Mr. Bob Patrick, Region VI Regional Administrator for the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) had visited RTA and was given an ADART presentation along with a tour of the proposed downtown streetcar alignment and RTA facilities. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:55 a.m. 5/AA.2,%—a - Julio Garcia Jr. Secretary I- 3 - a3 Date
