DESCRIPTIONS & CONDITIONS In June of 1990, the Board of County Commissioners was approved by the state to become the local Designated Official'Planning Agency (DOPA) for the provision of transportation disadvantaged planning activities in the area. On August 14, 1990, the Board of County Commissioners officially appointed eleven members to the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board. For fiscal year 1992/1993, the state has allocated $14,574.00 to Indian River County for transportation disadvantaged planning related services. The grant funds are for the specific purpose of accomplishing the duties and responsibilities of the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) as identified in the Transportation Disadvantaged law,.Chapter 427, F.S. and Rule 41-2.FAC. The DOPA is required to apply for the Planning Grant (copy attached). On July 16,- 1992, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board discussed and recommended approval of the FY 1992/93 Planning Grant application. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS The purpose of the grant application is to obtain reimbursement of money to fund the planning related costs involved with fulfilling the county's duties and responsibilities associated with the state mandated transportation disadvantaged program. The grant monies are needed to provide monetary support to the county for the continued provision of planning related services• in conjunction with the local transportation disadvantaged program. Failure to apply for the grant will result in a lack of funding from the state for planning related services which are mandated by the transportation disadvantaged program. The Board has two major alternatives. One is to apply for the grant funds. The other alternative is to not apply for the grant funds, an action which would make the county ineligible for reimbursement of monies expended for planning related services. RECOMMENDATION The TDLCB and the staff recommend that the Board of County Commissioners. approve the transmittal of the FY 92-93 Planning Grant application to the state. 6
