City Council Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager
or designee to execute any actions necessary for the purpose of obtaining financial
assistance provided by the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security (OHS) under the
Proposition 1B Transit Security Program/ California Transit Security Grant Program.
BACKGROUND:
In November 2006, voters approved the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air
Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 as California State Proposition 1B.
Proposition 1B contains a variety of funds which are administered by different
agencies, each with its own funding allocation processes. Sixty million out of the $1
billion designated bond funds have been allocated to Proposition 1B Transit Security
Funds for FY 09. As an agency that is eligible to receive State Transit Assistance
(STA) funds, Culver City was allocated $66,090.
Last year, Culver City also received $66,090 of Proposition 1B Transit Security
Funds and used it towards the purchase of the Automatic Vehicle Locator equipment
in the six new buses that were purchased for the Bus Rapid program.

City Council Agenda Item Report
In order to obtain the funds which have been allocated to the City of Culver City, the
City was required to file an Investment Justification for the use of the funds that have
been allocated for FY 2009. The City will use these funds towards the upgrade and
replacement of security video camera equipment for the transportation facility. The
proposed resolution is an annual requirement of the Governor’s Office of Homeland
Security (OHS) which is the State Administrative Agency (SSA) for the California
Transit Security Grant Program. By adopting the resolution, the City Council
authorizes the City Manager or designee to execute the grant.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The City of Culver City Transportation Department has budgeted the revenue for the
Proposition 1B Transit Security funds in FY 2010 for the security video camera
equipment for the Transportation Facility. 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 be adopted, the City will secure $137,456 from the FY 2009 allocation as
well as up to $2.0 million in future funding allocations.
A separate revenue account has been designated for Proposition 1B Transit
Security funds: 20368700.346840.
