Management System (TrAMS) software. <br />For the combined FTA Section 5307/5339 application for FY 2025 (Attachment #1), the total proposed budget <br />amount is $9,571,386. Of that amount, the federal portion is $7,071,386 which consists of $4,571,386 in capital <br />expenditures and $2,500,000 in operating expenditures. For the nonfederal share of capital expenditures <br />($1;142,847), the County will use toll revenue credits as a soft match. For the nonfederal share of operating <br />expenditures (50%), the match will consist of $1,250,000 in FDOT grants and $1,250,000 from Indian River <br />County. In this case, the County's contribution consists of previously approved general fund monies budgeted <br />specifically for this purpose. <br />According to federal grant requirements, the designated recipient (Indian River County) must hold a public <br />hearing to obtain the views of citizens on the proposed grant application. In keeping with that requirement, staff <br />has published a notice of the public hearing. <br />BUDGETARY IMPACT <br />For the local share of the nonfederal match, funding in the amount of $1,250,000 will be budgeted and <br />available in the General Fund / Community Transportation Coordinator/Senior Resource Association account <br />(Account Number 00111041-088230-54001). These funds are part of an allocation given to the Senior Resource <br />Association to provide transit service in the county. A portion of these funds will be used in FY 2025, with the <br />remainder being used in FY 2026. <br />PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS <br />Since the 1990s, the Board has approved annual Section 5307 and 5339 grant applications.
