Callfornla, November 25. 1977 FROM: Clty Staff {pc DEe 1 3 J977 TO' Mayor and Clty Counc1l SUBJECT: Submlsslon of Appllcatlons Under Sectlon 3 and Sectlon 5 of the Urban Mass Transportatlon Act of 1964 and the Settlng of a Date For the PubllC Hearlng On the Appllcatlons Introduction r' ., ( The lnltlal step in submlttlng an appllcatlon for federal mass transportatlon funds 1S to authorlze the Clty Manager to flle such a document and to set the date for a publlC hearing on the appllcation. ThlS report requests that the Clty Councll do this to enable the Transportatlon Department to recelve federal grant funds for both cap1tal and operatlng purposes. Background The Clty'S Transportatlon Department lS ellglble to recelve federal funds both to assist ln purchasing capltal items and to help cover operatlonal deflclts, under the Urban Mass Transportat1on Act of 1964. as amended. In order to obtaln such funds, an appllcatlon Nust be flIed wlth the federal Urban Mass Transportatlon Admlnistratlon. Local Share of Grants Grants made by lThITA for capltal purchases must be matched by a local contrlbution of 20% af the gross proJect cost, whlch the Department lntends to obtaln from sales tax revenues made available to the Bus Llnes through the Local Transportatlon Fund, better known as SB 325. and from revenues derlved from the sale of used buses. ,~ GEe 1 3 1971 To' ~h~r~c~c_ -2- NO\4IIber 25, 1977 The grant request used to cover operatIng defICIts must be matched equally by local funds. Local funds for this purpose are agaIn available to the Department through SB 325 and through revenue derIved from the sale of advertISIng space on the buses. Although the federal government allows capItal and operatIng grants to be applIed for under SectIon 5 of the Urban Mass Transportation Act, the Southern CalIfornia ASSOCIatIon of Governments (SCAG), ln Its role as the metropolItan p1annlng organIzatIon, reqUIres that only operatlng funds be applIed for under SectIon 5 and that all capital grant requests be made under Section 3 tlons. The operatIng grant applIcatIon requests SI,155,000, WhICh IS the maXImum allocatIon that SCAG will conSIder for Santa Mon~ca If approved, the ThIS neceSSItates the submISSIon of two appllca- grant cannot exceed $1,155,000. However, the amount Nay be less, based upon actual operatIng results for FY 1977-78 Bus Purchase The applicatIon for capItal aSSIstance WIll help the DepartNent purchase fIfteen new aIr-condItIoned, dIesel tranSIt buses The buses will be used to replace ten coaches bUIlt In 1965 and 1966, and to increase fleet Slze by flve vehIcles. The fIve addltions w1ll allow the Department to have suffICIent vehicles to cover the 38% Increase In patronage experIenced SInce fIscal 1973. The gross cost of the buses IS estimated to be SI,980,OOO, of whlch $1,584,000 WIll be the federal share. By authorIzing the CIty ~anager to fIle the applIcatIons, the Manager can offICIally submlt them to the Southern CalifornIa ASSOCIation of Governments for theIr concurrence after the completIon of the publIC hearIng. No CIty funds wlll be needed to fInance the local share of eIther grant. I> To: ~ayor and counJllt -3- Kovetllr 25, 1977 Alternatives 1. The City Councll may choose not to authorlze the flllng of the appllcatlons. The City would then lose the beneflt of a posslble $2,739,000 ln federal transportatlon funds. 2. The City Counnl can authorize the CHy Hanager to file the appllcations wlth the federal Urban ~Iass Transportatlon Admlnlstratlon by approvlng the attached resolutlons and set a date for holdIng the publlc hearlng on the applIcations, Recommendatlons Clty Staff recommends that the Clty Council authorlze the Clty ~anager to flle the applIcatIons by approvlng the attached resolutions, and that the Councll also set a publlC hearlng date of January 19, 1978. It is further recommended that the CIty CouncIl appoInt the following people to the publlC hearIng board' Martha HICks, Dlrector of Grants and Communlty SerVlces Dave Dolter, Assistant Clty ~anager Jack HutchIson, Director of TransportatIon SubmItted by: Jack Hutch1son Bob Durant ?1. -]1(-. ___y: ~ ,?'T :{." --C-~ -Jj. y, ~ ~{/-""_ ,.:.- ~,-'-7' LC '-- c)-l C'<'" L <. -" { ;:/,;( {, f_--C (,c;.i L ,/ Agenda Iteil1 6-C: Resolution No. 4955(CC5) entitled: t'RESOLUTION AUTHO- RIZI~G THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF T~~NSPORTATION. ~ITED STATES OF k\1ERICA, FOR A G~~~T ~DER THE URBAN ~\SS TRfu~SPORTATIO~ ACT OF 1964, AS AME~DEWT, and Resolution No. 496l(CC5) entitled: lIRESOLUTIO:"i AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION WITH THE DEPARn.lENT OF TR\NSPORTATION~ UNITED STATES OF k~ERICA, FOR m~ OPE~~TING G~~NT UNDER SECTIO~ 5 OF THE URBAN ~~SS TRANSPORTATIOX ACT OF 1964, AS M4ENDED", were ac!opted./, ~ 1&-::<, -.:.

Introduction: Regulations issued by the Federal Urban Mass Transportation AdMInistration (U~ITA), describe precise requirements for the uniform reporting of transit system financial. accounting and operational information nationwide. To be eligible for future Federal and State transit funds, the Transportation De- partment must, by July 1. 1978, convert its existing accounting and infor- matlon reporting system to the system required by U\ITA. In order to proceed With this work, this report recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to anend an application currently being reViewed by U~ITA to in- clude funds to cover 80% of the expected project costs, and permit City Staff to request proposals from qua11fled firms to perform the reqUired ~ork. Background: After years of development and refinement, U~ITA has issued final regulations which require ~ransit properties to convert to a unIform system of reporting flnancial, accounting and operatlng information. To ease the f1nanclal burden on transit operators, W,ITA has announced that 1t will accept applications for funds to help pay for the conversion. However, in order to be eligible for federal ass1stance, U~ITA required that each operator prep3rc a KotlCC of Intent by August 1, 1977. The City Council at its May 10, 1977 meeting, authorized the City Manager to retain the firm of Arthur Andersen and Co, to work WIth City Staff to dcvclo~ a detailed work plan for the 10stallation of the required f1nnncial and in- .

ThIS lnfOlm,Hlon allOlved the CIty to meet U\ITA' s deadline faT fll1ng a !\otlce of Int ent. The Clty 1S nm" in a posJ.tlon to formally apply for Ur-ffl.\ funding for the pro- ject. DiSCUSSIons wIth U~IT~ staff indlcate that amendIng a City grant applJ.- cation now being processed in Nashington. is the easiest and quickest way to obtaIn proj ect funding. The estimated total cost for uapl ementlng the required system 15 $211 ,SOD, of whJ.ch U~1TA 1.5 expected to provide a maximum of 80%, which \wuld amount to $169,200. The remaln1ng amount would come fron the Transpor- tat10n Department's local sales tdX proceeds, of which $17,500 will be utilized to reimburse the Clty for in-house labor involved. No City funds would be requ~red. Alternatlves: 1. The City Council could choose not to install the uniform system of re- cord keeping and reporting. Th1s would make the City inelIgible to receive Federal and State funding assistance. 2. C1ty staff could attempt to perform all tasks required to Implement the nece5sary changes ~ithout using outside services. In order to accompllsh this ~ork, the City would have to hlre or traln employees in several technIcal spccial- itles or place a lower priority on accomplIshIng other C1ty work in several areas. Further, it is doubtful that the de:ldline est..bllshed by U:"ITA for meet- lng reporting requirements could be met. 3. The City Council could authorize the City Manager to flle ."10 amendment to a grant application currently before ~ITA to obtain funding for the project im- plci'lentatlon. At the sam,_ time, the City Staff \\Ould be 9uthori:.ed to request e e l' To Mayor and C1ty Council -3- August 26, 1977 proposals from qua11fied firms to perform the tasks necessary to meet the U~rrA requirements. Recoffiwendation Staff recommends that the Clty Co~nci1 approve the attached resolution to authorize the City Manager to flle an appllcation with the Urban Mass Transpor- tation Administration (~ITA) for federal financial assistance to meet the re- quirements of that agency for lnstallation of a uniform system of financial and informatlon reporting. Staff also recommends that the City Council authorlze the City Staff to request proposals from qua11fied flrms to install the required system. Prepared by: J. F. Hutchison T. R.
