Of that amount, 50 were identified to be living on the street and 57 in their vehicles. Of the total 107 homeless people, 37 were adults living on the street, 11 relied on makeshift shelters, two lived in tents, 14 found shelter in cars, 25 were in vans and 18 in RVs. These numbers, based on the SBCEH discoveries, are higher than last year’s homeless count that found 79 people to be homeless--and well below the 37 in 2013. “I don’t have a problem funding a homeless tax, but I do have a problem using purely a sales tax as the calculation because I do think it penalizes some cities--in this case Torrance- -who contributes so much in sales taxes but has a relatively small problem,” Councilman Mike Griffiths said. “Not to minimize the problem…but I don’t think we should take so much upon our shoulders and it should be spread, in my opinion, much more equitably.” While an endorsement would not have cost the City’s budget any money, the Mayor and Council refused to support a measure that would cost residents additional taxes. “I know with Measure M, I personally opposed that tax and as a body we opposed that tax and that’s for local return--but this is not about local return. This is about funding the County of Los Angeles to be the safety net for the County of Los Angeles, which we just happen to be a part of,” Mayor Patrick J. Furey said. “It’s not like we are going to get dollar for dollar and we wouldn’t expect to get money from them to build homeless shelters in our city. City to Continue Operation of Transit Program’s Swipe Card System An amendment to continue the operation of the swipe card system used by the Torrance Transit Program patrons was approved by the Council during Tuesday night’s meeting. The amendment adds $30,000 to the contract with Cabconnect, Inc., which is capped off at $127,310 and has been extended to December 31, 2017. “Transit utilizes Cabconnect software to operate the electronic swipe card system for our Torrance Community Transit Program, which serves the senior and disabled citizens of Torrance. This is a renewal of the contract license agreement,” stated a Transit Department staff member presenting the item to Council. The swipe card system extension, which is funded through the Transit Department’s operating budget, will be paid for through the department’s 2017 and 2018 fiscal year budgets. In 2003 the Torrance Community Taxi Program (TCTP) was consolidated with the City’s Senior and Dial-A-Taxi programs so that they would operate under the same efforts. Through the all-taxi service, this element of the transit program gained flexibility, making the use of services easier for local patrons. In December 2014, the Mayor and Council approved agreement C2014-150 with Cabconnect, which kicked off the transition process from vouchers to the paperless swipe card system for the TCTP. The full implementation of the new system took place in May 2015. The transit programs that rely on the swipe card system include the Senior Taxi Program, which serves senior citizens 65 and older who are Torrance residents; and the Dial-A-Taxi program, which serves Torrance residents of all ages but who have a disability. In addition, Torrance has contracts with three local cab cooperatives that provide 24-hour service. While the swipe card system has been considered a success, there have been some hardware issues and GPS failures relating to reception. However, staff reported that the GPS failures occur “less than one percent of the time” and that efforts are constantly taking place to upgrade the hardware and eliminate the possibility of future setbacks. The Council amended the current contract on December 8, 2015, extending its lifespan to December 31, 2016. In the middle of researching the possibility of working with a different vendor, the contract expired. However, discussions between both parties led to the agreement for a contract extension for an additional year. “Cabconnect had communicated that they were willing to help transfer the project to another vendor should Transit wish to terminate the contract,” states the staff report signed by Transit Director Kim Turner. The amendment adds the $30,000 to the agreement to cover the ongoing monthly services charge, including maintenance fees. •
