opportunity for public discussion and comment before the Board takes action on the resolution (Attachment 1). The acceptance of these grant funds requires compliance with the annual certifications and assurances, for which the signature pages are attached (Attachment 2). The attached signature pages are for the certifications and assurances for FY 2014. The FY 2016 certifications and assurances signature pages are very similar to those for FY 2014; however, the County has not yet received them from NCDOT. When received, they will be forwarded to the County Attorney and Chair for review and signatures. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The NCDOT CTP grant requires a 15% local match ($25,015) for administrative expenses and a 10% local match ($23,229) for capital expenses for a total of $48,244. As a comparison, the total CTP grant amount requested for FY 2015 was $185,604 for administrative expenses ($27,841 local match) and $482,489 for capital expenses ($48,250 local match), a reduction of $269,042 in total expenses ($27,847 local match) from FY 2015 to FY 2016. The indicated local match amounts will be requested in the upcoming FY 2016 budget cycle and must be committed from Orange County's budget for the performance period of July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016 (FY 2016), as indicated in the attached Local Share Certification for Funding form (Attachment 4). This will require Orange County to obligate funding in its next budget cycle for these expenses. A total of $48,244 would come from the County's general operating budget. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board- 1 . Conduct a public hearing to receive public comments on the proposed grant application; 2. Close the public hearing; 3. Approve the Community Transportation Program Grant application for FY 2016 in the total amount of $399,051 with a local match total of $48,244 to be provided when necessary; 4. Approve and authorize the Chair to sign the Community Transportation Program Resolution and the Local Share Certification for Funding form; and 5. Authorize the Chair and the County Attorney to review and sign the annual certified statements of participation.
