Board designates Finance Director for FTA submissions and approves DHS paratransit IGA
Summary
Josephine County designated the Finance Director as authorized official for Federal Transit Administration grants and approved a DHS IGA reimbursing marginal costs for eligible rides (estimated $41.97 per trip), with Transit expecting capacity for ~100 additional rides monthly.
Scott Chancey, Transit Manager, asked the Board to designate the Finance Director as the County's authorized official to submit and certify Federal Transit Administration grants and National Transit Database reports to create separation of duties between grant preparation and formal certification. Commissioner Gary L. Richardson moved to approve the designation; the Board voted 3-0 in favor.
Chancey also presented Oregon Department of Human Services Intergovernmental Agreement No. 188044 to reimburse marginal costs for eligible rides provided to elderly and disabled individuals receiving qualifying home-support services. He said the marginal cost reimbursement was estimated at approximately $41.97 per trip, that eligible riders typically pay about $2 per trip, and that Transit can provide roughly 100 additional rides per month without adding staff or vehicles. Commissioner Richardson moved to approve the IGA and authorize the Chair to sign; the motion passed unanimously.
