CTC adopts 5310 program of projects for federal fiscal year 2013–14 after public hearing with no testimony
Summary
The commission held a required public hearing on the 5310 program and approved the staff-recommended program of projects for federal fiscal year 2013–14; no members of the public testified at the hearing.
The California Transportation Commission held the statutory public hearing required for the Section 5310 program (program for elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities) and adopted the staff-recommended program of projects for federal fiscal year 2013'14.
Juan Guzman, presenting for staff, said the state law requires three mandates for this federal program: the commission must direct the department on allocations, establish an appeals process and hold at least one public hearing. Guzman said the commission had already held an appeals hearing with no appeals filed and opened the public hearing; no members of the public provided testimony and the hearing was closed.
Staff recommended adoption of the 5310 program of projects for the federal fiscal year. A motion to approve was moved and seconded on the floor; the commission approved the program and staff asked the commission to note the maker and second of the motion for recordkeeping. The chair announced, "Ayes have it." No roll-call vote identifying individual commissioner votes was recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: The 5310 program provides federal funds targeted to transportation services and equipment for older adults and people with disabilities. Adoption of a program of projects allocates available federal funding for service providers and regional projects for the federal fiscal year.
Ending: The commission adopted the 5310 program of projects during the meeting; staff will proceed to implement the allocations as directed.
