RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Memorandum of Agreement Regarding the Administration of Federal Transit Administration 5307 Funds for the Pensacola, Florida-Alabama Urbanized Area - Mike Crittenden, Mass Transit Director

That the Board take the following action concerning the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between Escambia County and Baldwin County Regarding the Administration of Federal Transit Administration 5307 Funds for the Pensacola, Florida-Alabama Urbanized Area:

A. Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Memorandum of Agreement Regarding the Administration of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 5307 Funds for the Pensacola, Florida-Alabama Urbanized Area;

B. Authorize the disbursement of funds to Baldwin County, based upon invoicing, without further action of the Board; and

C. Authorize staff to sign all documents associated with this MOA.

BACKGROUND:

Escambia County is the direct recipient of all FTA section 5307 funds for the Pensacola Urbanized Area (UZA), which includes portions of Baldwin County, Alabama. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act apportions the Pensacola UZA 5307 funds between the Pensacola UZA in Florida, and the Pensacola UZA in Alabama.

Historically, the amounts apportioned by the FTA for the Pensacola-Alabama UZA have been as follows

2013	$ 31,621
2014	$ 55,828
2015	$ 55,624
2016	$ 57,477
2017	$ 61,944

The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) states that Escambia County, by and through ECAT, will continue to receive and manage the Pensacola UZA's entire apportionment of 5307 funds, and will keep an accounting of those 5307 funds specifically apportioned by the FAST Act to the Pensacola UZA in Alabama. Baldwin County will submit project(s) to ECAT for programming 5307 funds and to the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) for inclusion in the TPO's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Baldwin County will invoice ECAT to receive reimbursement for project costs from Baldwin County's portion of the 5307 funds.
