Staff plan to complete required public hearings, etc for a start date of July 2017. ii) Esser asked if it was possible to review the Brown and Yellow weekday mid-day ridership and consider implementing the Brellow route for non-peak on weekdays to save money and extend hours later in the day. Staff will bring ridership for the Brown and Yellow weekday mid-day routes to the next meeting for review. b. RRS asked how staff would handle students who are over 18 but still enrolled in high school as Iowa law allows youth to remain enrolled until age 21. Eudaley reported that there have been a few instances of youth registered in high school and over 18. Staff have allowed them to purchase a pass but require that they provide their graduation date so the pass can be turned off once they are finished with school. This issue seems to mostly effect students who are enrolled at the Alternative Learning Center and recent immigrants. i) Eudaley noted Intermodal personal are selling youth passes at various school orientations.
