by the FTA through Caltrans, are used to reimburse tuition for
continuing education of managerial and technical level employees
within the Department. Caltrans has informed the Department that
they have given preliminary approval to the application, but need
a resolution from the city Council in support of the application.
Caltrans will then submit a contract to the City for City Council
approval.
