Committee reviews SS4A matching guidance; suggests using current funds for match
Summary
Minutes note federal SS4A guidance and that Wood Valley Consultants advised matches under threshold need not follow the same criteria. Wayne Suggs and the City Manager recommended using existing City funds for the SS4A match and to confirm bid eligibility.
The committee reviewed an update on federal guidelines for matching funds tied to SS4A (Safe Streets and Roads for All) grant requirements.
Minutes record that Wood Valley Consultants advised the committee that a match does not have to follow the same criteria when dollar amounts are under program thresholds. Committee members — specifically Wayne Suggs and City Manager Glenn Steckman — recommended using existing City funds as the local match and to confirm bid packages for eligibility under SS4A rules.
Commissioners and staff noted federal programs (including the bipartisan bill HR7437 mentioned later in the meeting) as potential funding avenues for walkability and safety projects. Staff were directed to incorporate match strategy into upcoming reports to council; no formal funding commitments or votes were recorded at the meeting.
