SUMMARY EXPLANATION
The City has obtained a grant from the Congestion Mitigation for Air Quality (CMAQ)
program to execute a two -year pilot program to provide public transportation /transit
service to the cities of Selah and Union Gap (Council is also considering legislation to
execute interlocal agreements with these two cities in separate items on this agenda).
The total grant award for the two -year period is $450,700. Since the pilot program is
scheduled to begin mid -year (June 20), a budget amendment is needed for 6 months of the
program. The attached appropriation ordinance establishes the revenue estimate for 1/4th
of the grant, or $112,500, and corresponding expenditures for additional salary, fuel and
maintenance costs to accomplish this program for the remainder of 2005. We do not
anticipate the need to use reserves of the Transit fund for this pilot project.
