NO. 85-118 Council adopted Resolution No. 85-118 approving the City's 1985-86 Transportation Development }. Act Claim for Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and State Transit Assistance (STA) and -• ?p authorized the City Manager to execute the subject document on behalf of the City. Council was informed that the City's 1985-86 TDA Claim requests all of the 1985-86 STA apportionment amounting to $63,274 and all of the LTF apportionment which amounts to $761,140. This year it is estimated that we will use approximately $94,715 of LTF money for the Dial -A -Ride system. This includes $12,500 to be used on a new vehicle. Because the STA apportionments are getting less each year, it requires more of the LTF apportionment to fund the transit system. The LTF portion of the claim includes all of the projects which are being considered for construction during the next fiscal year. Showing these projects in our claim allows us the flexibility to use TDA funds if the projects are included in the City's 1986 Transportation Improvement Project. It does not approve these projects for construction. Project approval will be by Council action in December 1985. The pedestrian/bicycle apportionment will be used to crniplete the Ham Lane Improvement project, Lodi Avenue to Elm Street. Ham Lane is a primary bicycle route in the San Joaquin County bicycle plan and meets the intent of use of that apportionment. The TDA funds are used in conjunction with other City funds for the Transportation Improvement Program and also the maintenance of our streets.
