DeKalb County preliminarily assigns Federal Transit Administration 5310 senior-transportation grant to committee after questions
Summary
A $195,786.38 FTA 5310 grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission for senior transportation, with a county match (listed as about $48,946.6), was on the preliminary April 22 agenda; commissioners asked to hear the item in committee for questions, and staff assigned it to the Public Engagement and Community Services (PECS) committee for review.
DeKalb County staff on April 15 presented a proposed acceptance of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 funds administered through the Atlanta Regional Commission totaling $195,786.38 for senior transportation programs. County staff listed the county cost share as $48,946.60 (as presented). The item was initially listed on the preliminary executive agenda for April 22 and commissioners debated whether it should go directly to consent or be heard in committee.
Commissioner Terry and staff identified the grant as being administered under Human Services; Commissioner Terry asked whether the item should go to PECS or consent. A commissioner later asked for the human services grant to be heard in committee, saying “I just had a couple questions about it.” County staff (Zack) described the funds as “used for the senior transportation.”
After discussion the board agreed the human services FTA 5310 item would go to PECS (the clerk was asked to record item 0434 to PECS). The clerk’s summary of the preliminary agenda recorded the item as assigned to PECS and as a consent-level item pending further review.
Ending: Staff will provide committee materials to PECS; commissioners requested answers to specific questions about the grant prior to a consent vote.
