RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve and adopt a Resolution authorizing the
City Manager or his/her designee to execute and file applications with the Federal
Transit Administration.
BACKGROUND:
Under the Urban Mass Transportation Act (UMTA) of 1982, Culver City is eligible to
receive Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 and Section 5309 grant
funds for capital and operating assistance. In order to maintain our status and
continue to receive these funds, Culver City is required to periodically update and
submit an authorizing Resolution.
DISCUSSION:
The Resolution would grant authority to the City Manager or his/her designee to
execute and file applications for Federal assistance with the FTA, submit annual
certification and assurances, and execute grants and cooperative agreements with
the FTA on behalf of the City of Culver City.
Prior authority had been granted to the Chief Administrative Officer in 1996. The
Local Security Manager at the FTA San Francisco Regional Office has requested
that the resolution be updated prior to being able to access FY 2006-07 funds for the
City of Culver City.
