TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI. CITY MANAGER
DATE: OCTOBER 19, 1998
RE: REQUEST FOR COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT - LAIDLAW TRANSIT
SERVICES
Attached for the Council's review is a letter from the City's Transit Services contractor, Laidlaw
Transit Services, requesting a cost-of-living adjustment totaling 3.1%. Laidlaw began providing
transit services in Rosemead in July 1996. Since then, the company has not requested an annual rate
adjustment as provided by its current agreement with the City. Accordingly, the company is
requesting a cost-of-living to cover that period. In short, Laidlaw is requesting a 1.3% increase for
1997 and a 1.8%increase for 1998, totaling 3.1%. The current agreement with Laidlaw states that
the contractor:
...may request an annual cost-of-living adjustment in accordance with the most current
Consumer Price Index (CPU) figures on the yearly anniversary date of the Agreement
between the City of Rosemead and the Contractor,provided that in no event shall annual
cost-of-living adjustment exceed five (5) percent.
Copies of the June 1997 and June 1998 Consumer Price Index (CPI) reports have been attached for
the Council's review. The request for a cost-of-living adjustment is in conformance with the
Agreement approved originally in 1996.
RECOMMENDATION: 1
It is recommended that the City Council approve a 3.1% cost-of-living adjustment for Laidlaw
Transit Services, Inc., effective October 1, 1998.

Dear Mr. Stewart:
Section 16 of the Agreement between the City of Rosemead and Laidlaw states
that we may request an annual cost of living adjustment to our rates. It has
recently come to my attention that we have not requested a rate adjustment
since the start of the contract in July, 1996. In keeping with the intent of Section
16 of the contract, Laidlaw is requesting an adjustment to our rates to offset
operational cost increases that have and will occur. We request the adjustment
be effective October 1, 1998. The following is the CR amounts for these time
periods:
July, 1996 157.6
September, 1998 162.6
Based on the information,the CPI increase Is 3.1%.
I look forward to the City's response to our request for an adjustment of our rates.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sin• erely,
