PURCHASES AND A RESOLUTION CERTIFYING AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS
FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE EXISTING BUS PURCHASES PROJECT AND THE

DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
On September 23,1992, the LACTC awarded ISTEA grants totaling $785,000 for the Payment of the
Existing Bus Purchases project and the Commuter Rail Station Bicycle Locker project. ISTEA Is
source of federal funding for transportation related projects which is allocated by the LACTC.
LACTC, now LAMTA, procedures require that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) be executed
for these projects and that the Council certify that matching funds will be made available to
complete each project. Both of these projects also require the preparation and submittal of a
Financial Capacity Certification (FCC) demonstrating current and future financial capacity to sustain
all new operating costs. The.status of these projects Is provided below:
Payment of Existing Bus Purchases
Proposition A monies have been allocated by the Council for the entire cost of the payment of the
bus purchase. The total cost of the project Identifled under the grant is $962,000. The City was
awarded $770,000 in ISTEA funds toward the total cost, with the remaining $192,000 match to be
paid from Proposition A funds. Authorization Is requested to spend ISTEA funds as well as
Proposition A funds for this project. No new operating costs are associated with this project.
Commuter Rail Station Bicycle Locker Protect
The Council approved the MOU for this project in January 1993 and authorized the use of $15,000
In Proposition C funds and $5,000 In AB 2766 matching funds. Although this project was approved
as part of the Prop C Call for Projects, this project received a grant of ISTEA funds, not Proposition
C. The authorization should be changed to allow spending of ISTEA funds, In lieu of Proposition
C for this project. Increases In operating costs associated with this project are negligible since the
City already pays to maintain the transportation station.
