City Council Agenda Item Report
Vehicle Locator equipment in six new buses to be acquired in FY 2008/2009. This
Resolution is a requirement of the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security (OHS)
which is the State Administrative Agency (SAA) for the California Transit Security
Grant Program. The proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager or Designee
to execute all documents related to the grant.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The City of Culver City Transportation Department has budgeted the revenue for the
Proposition 1B Transit Security funds in FY 2008/2009 for the Automatic Vehicle
Locator equipment in six new buses. In addition, because of Los Angeles County’s
Fund Allocation Procedure for dividing State Transit Assistance (STA) funds, Metro
will also provide Culver City with $71,456 in bridge funding for the project after the
funds are approved and received from the State. Should the resolution not be
authorized, the City will lose approximately $137,456 from the FY 2008 allocation as
well as up to $2.2 million in future funding allocations.
A separate revenue account has been designated for Proposition 1B Transit
Security funds: 20368700.346840.
