Executive Summary
City Council action is requested to adopt a resolution in support of actions necessary for
the application and acceptance of state funds for transit capital and transit security
projects. The funds are available from State Proposition 1 B, which is managed by both
Caltrans and CaIEMA. The grant would allow the Big Blue Bus (BBB) to purchase up to
12 future replacement 40 -foot buses, improve facility system security and add up to 100
wireless on -board security cameras.
Background
Previous Council Action
On May 10, 2011, City Council adopted Resolution No. 10575 granting the City
Manager authorization to submit Fiscal Year 2010 -11 applications for and execute
agreements to further transit security projects for the Big Blue Bus.
Discussion
The attached resolutions are one component required by the State as part of the
Proposition 1B Bond grant allocation requests for approval. Santa Monica's Big Blue
Bus is specifically named to receive funds from an allocation for both PTMISEA in the
amount of $6,675,717 for FY 2010 -11 and Security in the amount of $267,091 for FY
2011 -12 as made available through the voter approved Proposition 1B Bond funds.
Proposition 1 B Bond funds are allocated to transit operators by the State on an annual
basis.
Applications are submitted to secure funds on an annual basis and projects are
approved annually, however the funds are contingent upon the State's sale of bonds
and released to the agency when they become available. The applications for FY 2010-
11 PTMISEA funds and FY 2011 -12 Security funds are now being awarded by the
State. Adoption of the attached authorizing resolutions would allow the City Manager to
complete and submit non - financially binding support documents and enable the Big
Blue Bus to receive these funds.
The Proposition 1 B revenue would fund BBB's 40 -foot bus replacements in FY 2013 -14,
with funds available until June 30, 2016 for encumbrance and liquidation. Additionally,
the security improvement program grant would be used to purchase approximately 100
new on -board wireless cameras in FY 2013, with funds available until March 30, 2014.
