You can't use the '+' operator to concatenate different
types (a string and an int, in your case). Try:

<!--#call "REQUEST.set('jumpToBase', 
           '../foodirectory/index.html?memberNum=' + _.str(userID)
           )"-->

or even:

<!--#call "REQUEST.set('jumpToBase', 
           '../foodirectory/index.html?memberNum=%s' % userID
           )"-->
