Fiscal Note
In 2005, the City declared four "fare free" Clean Air Action Days.  Metro's estimated loss of revenue  for each day is $3,200, derived from 2004 experience in daily summer cash and ticket fares. Four days' of estimated revenue loss to Metro totals $12,800. This Resolution proposes an appropriation from the Contingent Reserve to Metro in the amount of $12,800.  The currently available balance of the Contingent Reserve is $599,900.

WHEREAS Metro Transit agreed to provide "fare-free" days on Clean Air Action Days declared by the City in return for reimbursement in the amount of $3,200 for each such Clean Air Action Day in 2005;
 
NOW THEREFORE be it resolved that the Comptroller is authorized to transfer $12,800 from the General Fund Contingent Reserve to Metro Transit for the aforesaid purpose in 2005.
