Staff assured the Regional Office for our next application requesting funding assistance we would submit an up-to-date City resolution for their files. Attached is an updated resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for annual FTA assistance and execute grants or cooperative agreements. The Staff requests a standing resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit future FTA annual applications and execute grants which do not require further Council Business Agenda action. This is exactly the same procedure that has been routinely used over the last 10 years in securing transit funding. It remains Staffs opinion the City Council holds sufficient hearings and pre authorizes each transit grant submittal during its Transit Budget review sessions. There is also a requirement that a public notice be placed in the local paper 15 days prior to submitting a final FTA funding application thus giving ample opportunity for citizens to request a public hearing on any transit funding application if they so desire.
