Exhibit A <br /> must adopt the attached resolution (Attachment#1),authorizing staff to submit the attached grant <br /> application to FDOT.A copy of the grant application is attached to this staff report(Attachment 42). <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> For FY 2015/16,the SRA has requested that the County apply for federal Section 5311 funds on the <br /> SRA's behalf so that the SRA can provide for the continuation and expansion of its <br /> GoLine/Community Coach fixed route and demand response services in rural areas of Indian River <br /> County.The provision of such service is consistent with the findings of the MPO's adopted 10-year <br /> Transit Development Plan and 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan. <br /> The County receives most of its transit funding through the federal Section 5307(urban Area)grant <br /> program. Because a portion of Indian River County is designated as rural,the County is also eligible <br /> to receive transit funding through the Section 531 I (Rural Areas)grant program.As indicated in the <br /> attached grant application,the total proposed budget amount is$130,428.Of that amount,the federal <br /> portion is $65,214. The match will consist of$32,607 in state Public Transportation Block Grant <br /> fluids and $32,607 in local funds. In this case, the County's contribution consists of previously <br /> approved general fund monies budgeted specifically for this purpose. <br /> FUNDING <br /> Funding in the amount of$32,607 is budgeted and available in the General Fund / Community <br /> Transportation Coordinator account. Funding for this expenditure is part of the allocation given to <br /> the Senior Resource Association to provide transit service in the county. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the attached resolution authorizing <br /> the filing of the attached FY 2015/16 Section 5311 grant application. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> 1 Authorizing Resolution for the Submission of a Section 5311 (Formula Grants for Rural Areas) <br /> application for FY 2015/16 <br /> 2.
