C. Action on Resolution No. 1142

In the prior City Council meeting, the City Council approved the application for a grant to obtain vehicles for the City's Senior Citizens Center programs.  The grant funds originate with the U.S. Department of Transportation and are distributed through the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).  ADOT is also in charge of making sure grant recipients comply with federal requirements.  Part of the federal requirements is that recipients take affirmative steps to ensure that socially and economically disadvantaged business enterprises participate in the performance of contracts and subcontracts entered into with the grant funds.  With this resolution, City Council approves and adopts the Arizona Department of Transportation Federal Transit Assistance Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Program Plan, also known as ADOT FTA DBE Program Plan.  By approving and adopting ADOT's DBE Program Plan, the City has policy guidance for spending the grant funds to comply with federal requirements under DBE.
