Commissioners approve FTA amendment to allow 15% indirect-cost reimbursement ($345,636)
Summary
The commissioners approved an amendment to an existing Federal Transit Administration award to move $345,636 into indirect-cost lines, allow de minimis (up to 15%) reimbursement as of 2026-04-01 and extend the award performance period to 2027-09-30.
A transit-department representative described an amendment to an existing FTA award that moves $345,636 into indirect-cost line items, enabling the county to draw down de minimis indirect-cost reimbursement for eligible operations expenses as of April 1, 2026. The representative stated that "this grant amendment modifies the award to include indirect costs" and that the change also "extends the performance of this award to 09/30/2027." Commissioners discussed and approved the amendment after legal and auditor review was reported.
Board members clarified that the amendment is a conversion within an existing award (not a new grant) to permit up to 15% reimbursement for project administration costs. The motion carried on a recorded vote; one commissioner recorded a Nay during the roll call recorded in the transcript.
