Those funds <br />have been passed -through to the Council on Aging to <br />provide funding for the Community Coach bus system. The <br />capital portion of the grant, which has been approved by <br />the Federal Transit Administration, includes funds for <br />the construction of an intermodal terminal facility at <br />the Vero Beach Airport. The Council on Aging's <br />Transportation Director has recommended chat the <br />intermodal terminal construction funds be reallocated to <br />more pressing needs, such as additional rolling stock (a <br />trolley), renovation of existing office space, and <br />additional bus shelters and computer equipment. The <br />Board of County Commissioners agreed to the trolley <br />purchase at its July 2, 1996 meeting, and the Federal <br />Transit Administration has approved the proposed budget <br />revisions, which are listed in Attachment 1 of this staff <br />report. Staff recommends that the Board of County <br />Commissioners approve a budget revision for the FY <br />1995/96 Section 5307 grant to eliminate the $154,000 <br />currently allocated for design and construction of an <br />intermodal terminal, and to reallocate those funds as <br />indicated in Attachment 1 of this staff report. <br />DESCRIPTIONS & CONDITIONS <br />In September 1995, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the <br />filing of a FY 1995/96 49 USC Ch. 53, Section 5307 (formerly known <br />as Section 9 of the Federal Transit Act) grant application, <br />requesting $762,724 in federal, state, and local funds.
