Background
|
The City and County Association of Governments (C/CAG) administers the allocation of SAFETEA funds which may only be used for transportation projects, and which are made available through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).
|
|
|
C/CAG announced that SAFETEA funds were available on a competitive basis for the 2006 through the 2009 fiscal years, and the County’s Bay Road Project qualified for this funding.
|
|
|
Discussion
|
C/CAG requires that a resolution of the local agency’s governing board authorizing application for the funds and acknowledging the funding limit for a project.
|
|
|
A resolution in the format as prescribed MTC has been approved as to form by County Counsel.
|
|
|
Fiscal Impact
|
The estimated cost of this project is $500,000 and is proposed to be financed as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
County Road Funds
|
$250,000
|
|
|
|
|
|
SAFETEA Funds
|
$250,000
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total Estimated Cost
|
$500,000
|
|
|
|
SAFETEA funds are received on a reimbursable basis. Therefore, we are proposing to finance the project with Road Funds and reimburse the Road Fund once the project is complete and the SAFETEA funds are received.

|
There is no impact to the General Fund.
