| RECOMMENDATION: |
Recommendation Concerning the Federal Transit Administration Fiscal Year 2015 Annual Certifications and Assurances for Escambia County Area Transit - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director
That the Board take the following action concerning the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Fiscal Year 2015 Annual Certifications and Assurances for Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT):
A. Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the FTA Fiscal Year 2015 Certifications and Assurances for the Federal Transit Administration Assistance Programs;
B. Ratify the Assistant County Attorney's signature, dated December 23, 2014, as the Affirmation of Applicant's Attorney on the FTA Fiscal Year 2015 Certifications and Assurances for the Federal Transit Administration Assistance Programs; and
C. Authorize ECAT to file the Certifications and Assurances electronically, as required, using the Federal personal passwords of the Chairman and County Attorney.
In 1998, the FTA instituted the requirement that all Grant Applications and Grant Management Reports be submitted electronically via the Transportation Electronic Award and Management (TEAM) System. Additionally, since 1996, the list of Certifications and Assurances must be filed electronically prior to the filing of the Grant Application. These Certifications and Assurances provide a basis for all financial, administrative, and accounting Agreements between the FTA and the grantee. Under the current FTA Authorization Act, entitled Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), Escambia County will receive an approximate $3,000,000 apportionment in Fiscal Year 2015 Federal Funding for mass transit.
The Chairman and the County Attorney must obtain passwords and PIN codes by contacting Richelle Gosman, Federal Transit Administration (FTA), at (404) 865-5478 or by email at richelle.gosman@dot.gov. |
