BACKGROUND Metro is currently accepting on a one-time basis applications for supplemental funding to cover cost increases for existing projects previously funded through prior 1999, 2000, and 2001 Call for Projects. This competitive application process covers cost increases to the existing scope of work for active or programmed Call for Projects recipients. Five different modal categories exist to apply within. The City qualifies for three of these categories. Applications the City plan to submit will not be in competition with each other, and previously completed projects are ineligible. If the City is successful in one or more of the applications, an amendment to the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or Letter of Agreement (LOA) will be executed. In addition, projects are required to expend funds within 18 months of the Metro Board action approval process, anticipated in January 2007. Specific project scope applications include: 1. Magic Mountain Parkway Phase II: Construction cost increase 2. Incident Management -Traveler Information Subsystem: Cost increase for additional equipment capacity 3. Santa Clara River Trail: Design and construction cost for Trail Segment V from the Keystone development project to west of Discovery Park APPROVED ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Direct staff to not apply for this grant opportunity. 2. Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT There is no immediate fiscal impact from submitting the recommended grant applications. In the event that the City is successful in obtaining 2007 Supplemental Call for Projects award(s), appropriation of both grant funds and the required local City match would be subjected to City Council consideration as part of the Fiscal Year 2007/2008 annual budget process.
