Reimbursement amount from RT still under debate

Norm Erickson

Ron Grant, director of University Support Services, said Sacramento State and Regional Transit did not reach an agreement concerning the amount of a refund owed to Sac State at an April 28 meeting.

The transit system delivered a thick binder of information detailing its contention that the refund amount, owed to Sac State because of a regional transit error in ridership calculation, is $100,000 instead of the $1 million figure proposed before, Grant said.

The next meeting is scheduled for Friday, by which time Grant expects that the university will have thoroughly reviewed regional transit’s proposal and decide on a dollar amount that the university thinks is correct.

Regardless of how long it takes to resolve the refund issue, Grant said he hopes to have a new contract in place by the end of June, which is when the current agreement expires.

“These are two separate issues; we can do one without the other and then amend the contract to incorporate the repayment of the overpayment,” Grant said.
