B. Endorse Amendment 4 to FY 18/19 -19/20 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)
Ms. Otero - Amendment 4 to the UPWP includes a net zero change to PL funding; $5,000 was moved from
the TIP and reallocated to Special Projects and Systems Planning to cover the cost of GIS software.
Changes have been made to the FTA 5305 and TD budgets in the UPWP. In order to spend down the 5305
funding from FY 15/16 and 16/17, it is necessary to identify the funding in the UPWP as revenue so it can be
allocated to a study. Carryforward funding in the amount of $133,600 has been added, along with the final
allocation for the TD grant and the FY 19/20 FTA 5305grant. The after amendment budget will be
$1,3042,099.
Ms. Lantz - the money which is currently allocated to the FTA source should reflect that it includes aa local
match. Ms. Otero will make the changes before bringing it to the Board.
Mr. Holland made a motion to endorse Amendment 4, Mr. Scott seconded. Carried unanimously.
