On September 12, 2023, the City Council approved the 1st reading of the ordinance.

I. Accept and appropriate $373,789 from the Federal Transit Administration for the FY 21 Section 5339 Bus & Bus Facilities Grant.

II. Accept and appropriate $358,256 from the Federal Transit Administration for the FY 22 Section 5339 Bus & Bus Facilities Grant
.

Neither of these 2 grants were included in the FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 budget process because they were enacted and approved after the fact. Both grants will be 100% federally funded and require no local match. Funding from these grants will be used to purchase 5 replacement ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) paratransit vehicles that will replace vehicles that have met or exceeded their expected useful life.
