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. This has been published for public comment. Peter Murphy said the capital costs are primarily to replace older vehicles or vehicles with well over 200,000 miles. Commissioner Pelissier asked for an explanation of why the capital request is lower than it has been in the past. Peter Murphy said this is because the County is getting 5 new vehicles and 2 expansion vehicles. He said, based on the rules, at least 3 vehicles need to be replaced for year. He said the recommended vehicles meet the criteria. He said there are others that could also be replaced, but if that were to be done now, it would create a predicament with vehicles used in both the urban and the rural setting. He said these vehicles can only be purchased for the rural setting. He said there will be another source at a different time for the urban setting.
