DATE: June 6, 1988
SUBJECT: Council Agenda, June 9, 1988
ITEM: 9A. Consider a resolution reaffirming support of the MKT right -of -way
purchase.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Joe Vining
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
ANALYSIS:
The State Department of Highways and Public
Transportation is applying for Urban Mass Transportation
funds to purchase the MKT right of way. This
represents a change in the original concept that had
the four cities and two counties filing for the grant.
As part of the application, UMTA is requiring a
resolution confirming our willingness to provide
funding for our share of the 25% match. It is
estimated that our share will amount to $50,000.
This expenditure is contained in our CIP but currently
is not funded. However, the draft contract being
prepared is calling for a closing date in summer or
fall 1989.
