AGENDA ITEM • 15
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager and Designee to Execute and File Grant
Applications to Receive Federal Funds for Transit Projects with the Federal Transit
Administration and to Execute any Related Grant Applications, Certifications,
Assurances, Forms, Agreements and Associated Documents
MEETING DATE: June 15, 2016
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager and designee to execute and
file grant applications to receive federal funds for transit projects with the
Federal Transit Administration and to execute any related grant
applications, certifications, assurances, forms, agreements, and associated documents.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In order for the City of Lodi to be eligible to receive future Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) grant awards, FTA staff has directed grant recipients
to adopt updated authorizing resolutions to comply with Fixing
America's Surface Transportation (FAST), a recent piece of federal legislation Congress enacted to supersede
the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act otherwise known as MAP21.
The City of Lodi accesses FTA's funding programs under FAST to create, submit, execute, and manage
Section 5307, 5339, 5340, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant funds for transit operations and
capital projects. The City Attorney and the Transportation Manager annually submit certifications and
assurances demonstrating compliance with FTA regulations and guidelines. In addition, the Transportation
Manager oversees and executes FTA grant submittals, and responds to financial questions from the FTA
regarding federal grant documents. The grant submittals are reviewed annually by the City's financial auditors
to ensure compliance.
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager and designee to execute and file grant applications
to receive federal funds for transit projects with FTA and to execute any related grant applications,
certifications, assurances, forms, agreements and associated documents.
FISCAL IMPACT: Failure to adopt the resolution will result in the City not receiving federal funds for
transit projects.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
