Council approves standard authorization to apply for Federal Transit Administration funds
Summary
Resolution 9168, authorizing city staff to file applications with the Federal Transit Administration for federal transportation assistance, passed unanimously to keep federal transit grants moving.
The council approved Resolution 9168 authorizing the filing of applications with the Federal Transit Administration (an operating administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation) for federal transportation assistance authorized by federal statutes including 49 U.S.C. chapter 53.
Public Works Director Mr. DeVries described the measure as a routine authorization required of agencies that receive federal funds and said the city needed to complete the action in the near term to keep grant processes on schedule. “So, this is a request from FTA for all agencies receiving funds from the federal government,” DeVries said. “It's a basic authorizing resolution that we have to do from time to time.”
Council moved and seconded the resolution (motion by Mr. Schisler and second by Mr. Godfrey). The transcript records the vote as passing unanimously; no detailed roll-call tally appears in the excerpt.
