Mr. Speedling, Cha~irmaa Traweportatiarn Cospitt~, reported the Borth aLssted Sub- Coasttee of the 5 Cotimty Tratsportatia~a Study Gsoup arst ozt Septeaa~ber S, 1973, to develop a Foaition Paper arith gsrd to the recflawsndations of flee 5 County Tratatit Study Group and set one Septsaiber 12, 1973, with the repar~entatve of 3 County Transit and presented the Position Paper to these. Poaftion Paper stated: "The north O2asted Area Subttse of the 5 Count3t Transit gtuely has generally reached the folloKis~g cc+nclusiona about partieipation in a regi~aal transportatiaat authority. We ha~3 at or~r disposal the following darcutents : S year transit developssnt progress: MoaCth Olsatsd area; Costwstty Rsspcxasive Transit ($R~2); Short r Ca~-ital Iaiprovessnts (~#3). tie chose to frame our response to the projected sutharity based on the following three questiaaas . Q. Would we be satisfied ua~r an umbrella system? A. NO, not at this fleas. Q. Would we want to be part of the original authority? A. ~, because we cast sae say total loss of coaaNenity control over oar bus liaae. ~ would lose curr~t ~tod level of service, an acceptable faro stricture and .directions of tratseit. We cs>saot support dua~ing into a pot as lass of control over the faze box is loss of flee systes. We rejs+et a comet transit authority ea Coto, because we feel that the amity has been lees than cognisant of suburban probleeos and their solutlOOS . tie resain concerned about WaO will malx~e the decisions regarding forsrtion of the authority. Q. Would ear comsunities support a 1f~ sales tax as proposed by the Mayors and City Manager's Association? A. It would probably be defeated on a first round basis; Inflation has grasped too dieply at our coa~mity pocketbooks to guarantee support of a tax which would gain vas nothing except less of our systean. Sowever, slusuld the issue pass we would probably apply for our share of revenue to our system intact. Our co»unities would probably vote to SAVS a good systes. The chances are that voters would reject support of sosething that Mould either lose or do not now have (aa in the case of Olmsted Palls) This coetsensus is firs based as the information we new have. We are willing to consider alternative proposals which would not destroy ownership of the Borth Olssted Bus Line or daaa~d total surrender to an authority which is nebulas at best.~~ Mr. fleet, Chairsan of Building, Zoaeing ~ Develops~tt Corittee and bang Range Planaaeg Caaraittee, rapox~txd E.Z.& D.
