Agenda 06/09/2015 Item #16D 9 6/9/2015 16.D.9.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize FY 2015/2016 Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund
Trip/Equipment Grant revenue in the amount of$781,793 with a local match of$86,866, approve a
resolution authorizing its Chairman to execute the grant information sheet and grant agreement
upon receipt from the State, after County Attorney review, and approve the appropriate budget
amendments to prevent delay of the use of grant funds for the Collier Area Transit system.
OBJECTIVE: To continue the Collier Area Paratransit public door-to-door transportation program.
CONSIDERATION: Collier County is eligible for Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund
Trip/Equipment grant funds each year. Funds from this grant cover a portion of the operating expenses of
the Transportation Disadvantaged Program.
On April 22, 2015 staff received draft allocations from the Florida Commission for the Transportation
Disadvantaged (FCTD) regarding the FY 15/16 Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund
Trip/Equipment funding. Collier County is anticipated to be eligible to receive$781,793 in FY 15/16.

Typically, Collier County receives notification of the award and the grant agreement in May of each year.
The FLCTD's budget is contingent upon the Florida Legislature adopting a budget and ultimately
Governor approval. Unfortunately, since the session ended early and must reconvene in June to adopt a
budget, it is anticipated that the FLCTD's grant award notifications will be delayed as well. Since
funding cannot be spent until the grant information sheet and grant agreement are executed by both
parties, County funds must be used for transit operations in lieu of these grant funds during the award
execution and County budget processing period. To expedite the process and prevent excessive use of
County funds, CAT is requesting that the Board authorize its Chairman to execute the funding award and
Agreement immediately following its receipt from the State after County Attorney review. Additionally,
CAT is requesting authorization of award and match budget amendments. in the amount indicated, prior
to receipt of the grant award. Expenses will be applied to this grant budget only after the grant award is
fully executed. Budget changes required by the final allocation amount will be brought before the Board
as required.
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment is required in the amount of $781,793 in Transportation
Disadvantage (TD) Grant Fund 428, Project 33424. The required 10% match of $86,866 is budgeted
separately in TD Match Grant Fund 429 in Project 33424 and also requires a budget amendment. Match
funds are available Reserves within the TD Match Fund (429). General Fund (001) revenues are the
source of funding. The General Fund provides annual TD support to cover operational costs that exceed
grantor subsidies and farebox collections.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires
majority vote for Board approval.—SRT
