Agenda 02/25/2020 Item #16A 3 (Recognizing Carry Forward for MPO)02/25/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize carry forward funding for the Collier Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) in the amount of $14,504.90, earned from the FY 2018/19 Transportation
Disadvantaged Planning Grant, and to approve all related necessary budget amendments.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain budget appropriation for prior year grant revenue which was collected in
excess of expenditures for the MPO to continue Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) planning efforts as
allowed by the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD).
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 1, 2018, the MPO entered a lump sum unit reimbursable grant
agreement with Collier County to perform T D planning duties for FY 2018/19. The terms of the
grant contract stated that the MPO would be reimbursed upon completion of specific tasks in lieu of
actual expenses. On June 30, 2019, the agreement ended, and the revenue obtained from the grant
exceeded the expenses by $14,504.90. The MPO desires to use the remaining revenue for future TD
planning efforts.
In order to expend the carry forward balance after grant closeout, reauthorization and transfer of the
funds into the MPO’s operating fund (Fund 128) from the MPO’s established Grant project fund is
necessary. A transfer of excess funds ensures the original intent and purpose of funding is used for
TD planning activities.
FISCAL IMPACT: The remaining funding from t h e FY 2018/19 Planning grant in the amount
of $14,504.90, which currently resides in the Growth Management Department (GMD) Grant Fund
711, Project 33575. A budget amendment is required to transfer the carry forward funding to MPO
Operating Fund 128, TD Planning Reinvestment Project 32128. There is no requirement for matching
funds.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has be en reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no
legal issues, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Collier County’s
Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: 1) To recognize the transfer of FY 2018/19 grant revenue totaling
$14,504.90, which exceeded the MPO’s FY 2018/19 TD Planning expenses; (2) to authorize the use of
the $14,504.90 for future TD planning efforts; and, (3) to approve any related necessary budget
amendments.
