RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Supplemental Budget Amendment #097 - Stephan Hall, Management and Budget Services Interim Department Director

That the Board adopt the Resolution approving Supplemental Budget Amendment #097, Mass Transit Fund (104), in the amount of $550,000, to recognize Grants FL95-X082-00 and FL95-X082-01, from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and to appropriate these funds to be used for preventive maintenance at the Escambia County Area Transit System (ECAT). Florida Toll Revenue Credits will be used to cover the match required for both Grants.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with the Current FTA Authorization Act, entitled Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is allowed to flex a certain amount of funding between highway and transportation projects. FDOT has authorized authorized Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) to receive two allocations in the amount of $250,000 for FL95-X082-00 and $300,000 for FL95-X082-01. These funds will be used for preventive maintenance.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

This amendment will increase Fund 104 by $550,000. FDOT has authorized Florida Toll Revenue Credits to be used as the requested match of $62,500 for FL95-X082-00 and $75,000 for FL95-X082-01.
