maximum amount that can currently be justified
If approved, the grant cannot
exceed $2,445,000. However, the amount may be less, based upon actual operating
results for FY 1979/80.
By authorizing the City Manager to file the application, and after completion
of the public hearing, the Manager can officially submit it to UMTA, through
the Southern California Association of Governments, for their approval.
Alternatives
1. The City Council may choose not to authorize the filing of the application.
The City would then lose the benefit of a possible $2,445,000 in federal
transportation funds.
2. The City Council can authorize the City Manager to file the application and
sign the ensuing standard grant contract with the federal Urban Mass Trans-
portation Administration by approving the attached resolution. This would
also require the Council to set a date for a public hearing on the
application.
Recommendations
City staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to file
the application and sign the ensuing grant contract with the federal Urban Mass
Transportation Administration by adopting the attached resolution. Staff also
recommends that the City Council set a public hearing date of September 27, 1979.
It is further recommended that the City Council appoint the following people
