Council authorizes FTA grant applications required to continue transit funding
Summary
Resolution 9168 authorizes the city to file required grant applications with the Federal Transit Administration; staff said the resolution is a routine authorization needed to keep federal transit funding in place.
The Fond du Lac City Council unanimously approved Resolution 9168 on Feb. 26 authorizing filing of applications with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and other federal programs to continue receiving federal transportation assistance.
Public Works Director DeVries introduced the item, describing it as a routine authorizing resolution required periodically for agencies that receive federal transit funds and noting the council’s approval was needed by the following week to keep grant processes on schedule. “This is a request from FTA for all agencies receiving funds from the federal government,” DeVries said, and recommended approval. The council voted to adopt the resolution without additional discussion.
The resolution references federal statutes administered by the FTA, including 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 and Title 23 U.S. Code where applicable. The transcript records no discussion of specific grant amounts, project details or local match requirements; staff indicated the authorization helps “keep our grants going in order.”
