Home My WebLink AboutPR 15054: TRANSIT GRANT APPLICATION FROM FTAINTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM To: STEVE FITZGIBBONS, CITY bLANAGER AND CITY COUNCIL FxoM: COLLEEN RUSSELL, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING susJECT: P.R. NO. 15054 -TRANSIT GRANT APPLICATION FROM FTA DATE: ()3~2()~2aa9 RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that Proposed Resolution No. 15054 be approved. This resolution would authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract for financial assistance in the amount of $4,722,975 from the Federal Transportation Administration for the (PAT) Port Arthur Transit System for Fiscal Years 2008- 09 and 2009-10. BACKGROUND: Each year the City of Port Arthur is allocated funding from the Governor's Fund for public transportation for the operation of Port Arthur Transit System. This year's grant eligibility award is for $4,722,975. All of this amount will be used for regular operations (staffing and maintenance) cost for the City's transit system as well as all capital (equipment and construction) expenditures. This year's allocation represents a two year portion due to balances from previous years to be utilized by the end of 2009 fiscal year. BUDGETARY/FISCAL EFFECT: Federal transit grant funds require an equal local share match for operations which is otherwise known as a 50 percent local share match for transit systems The capital match is typically 80% Federal and 20% City less the State's funding. However, the percentage match was an eighty three and seventeen one as the City intends to purchase para-transit vans and equipment so related to their maintenance. Our percentage match is in accordance with 49 U.S.C. Section 5307 Formula Grants for Urbanized Areas over 50,000, (CFDA) Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance number 20.507. STAFFING/EMPLOYEE EFFECT Salaries and Operation of Transit (PAT) 1 SUMMARY I recommend that Proposed Resolution No. 15054 be approved. This resolution would authorize an agreement for an award of approximately $4.72 million dollars from the Federal Transportation Administration for Port Arthur Transit functions this fiscal year and the next. z P.R.
