As part of the FY 2014 budget adoption process, funding for the Community Connector Odlin Road bus route was eliminated effective September 1, 2013. Since that decision, public concern and Council interest has resulted in a desire to revisit the decision. The estimated cost to continue the transit service for the remaining ten months of FY 2014 is $20,000, or approximately $2,000 per month. The Council recently authorized a fundraising effort to accept contributions for the continuation of the route with the understanding that staff will report back to the Government Operations Committee no later than first meeting in October with updated information on donations received and options to consider concerning service after November.
