SUBJECT: FEDERAL TRANSIT GRANT FOR 2001/02 PUBLIC HEARING
ON THE TRANSIT PROGRAM OF PROJECTS FOR 2001-02
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
1. Conduct a public hearing to review the transit Program of Projects for 2001-02
2. By resolution, authorize the Public Works Director to apply for a grant from the Federal
Transit Administration in the amount of$807,000.
DISCUSSION
Since the 1990 census, the City has been classified as an urbanized area and eligible to receive
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) formula grants for operating and capital assistance. To
apply for these grants, the Council must annually:
1. Publish the Program of Projects (POP);
2. Hold a public hearing on the proposed Program of Projects which will use federal
transit assistance; and,
3. Adopt a resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to file a grant application
and execute the grant agreement.
The Program of Projects for 2001-02 was published in the Tribune on December 1, 2001.
The public hearing on the Program of Projects is a process requirement of FTA to notify the
public how the City will spend their FTA grant funds. It provides the public with the opportunity
to comment on the City's 2001-02 Program of Projects. This public hearing for the FY.2001-02
Program of Projects satisfies the FTA requirements. In return, the City will receive
reimbursements in the amount of$807,000 for the following projects programmed in the City's
FY 2001-02 budget:

The grant agreement requires annual certifications of compliance with regard to regulations such
as civil rights, procurement procedures, and substance abuse. Authorizing the Public Works
Director to apply for the grant and execute the agreement is recommended by state and federal
guidelines.
CONCURRENCES
The Mass Transit Committee (MTC) has not reviewed this item. Historically, the MTC has not
reviewed the City's Program of Projects because it is not a requirement of the grant. However,
the MTC does provide comment on the individual capital projects during the design phase. Also,
the MTC did concur with the update of the Short Range Transit Plan, a document that is part of
the POP, which reviews the existing transit system and provides recommendations for operating
and capital needs.
FISCAL IMPACT
All revenues and expenditures associated With the Program of Projects were appropriated in the
City's 2001-02 Approved Budget on pages E-10.and G-23.
