Title

Resolution for a Joint Participation Agreement - State Block Grant Funds for RTS Operating Assistance for FY 2011-2012 (B)

This item is a request to adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Joint Participation Agreement between the City of Gainesville and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to accept the allocation for Gainesville of $1,500,596 from the State Block Grant Funds for FY 2011-2012.

Explanation

FDOT allocates state block grant funds for public transit systems each year.  The allocations are based on a three-part formula that includes population, ridership, and vehicle miles operated.  For FY 2011-2012, the allocation for Gainesville is $1,500,596 which represents an increase of $47,192 from last year's allocation.

FDOT requires the governing board of each public transit system to adopt a resolution authorizing the acceptance of these funds.

Fiscal Note

The Joint Participation Agreement requires the City of Gainesville to match the funding.  Funds in the amount of $1,500,596 for this match are available in the FY 2011-2012 RTS operating budget.

Recommendation

The City Commission adopt the Resolution.
