FROM: Michael D. McCluskey, Public Works Director/ ,)
Prepared by: Reinie Gwin, Transportation Technician Y
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for the Proposed Program of Projects and Application for the
Federal Transit Administration Urbanized Area Assistance
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing staff to apply for a Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) formula grant in the amount of $1,202,300 to be used for operating and
capital expenses.
BACKGROUND:
The City has been receiving FTA formula grants for operating and capital assistance since 1992 when
the City was classified as an urbanized area. In applying for these grants, the City has agreed to meet
several federal requirements, one of which is publishing and holding public hearings on proposed
programs of projects. The program of projects shows projected SLO Transit expenses for fiscal year
1995/96 with a breakdown of FTA participation and local match (Transportation Development Act
money) required. The 1995/96 program of projects includes operating assistance, the purchase of three
new buses and bus stop improvements for a total cost of$2,171,100 with a federal share of$1,202,300.
In November 1995 the City received the FTA Annual Apportionment Notice showing that the City is
eligible to apply for formula grant assistance up to $520,478 for fiscal year 1995/ 96. Since the City
has not spent all of the previous years apportionments, a carryover of$1,856,123 is available. Some of
this carryover money is being used to fund this application. To apply for this grant money, a resolution
authorizing the Public Works Director to execute the grant agreement is needed. In authorizing the grant
agreement the City agrees to make annual certifications to comply with civil rights, procurement
procedures and substance abuse. After this application $1,175,000 will remain as carryover to be used
in future grant applications for both operating and capital.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Because of the uncertainty of federal and state revenue, the current budget is different from the program
of projects. When the grant is approved, staff will return to Council with a request to adjust expenditure
and revenue budgets so that they conform to the program of projects. Transportation Development Act
funds will provide $968,800 "local" match to the grant funds.
