VOTE: UNANIMOUS Commissioner Dorosin asked if there is any change in the administrative expenses under the grant. Peter Murphy said it is exactly the same amount as last year. Commissioner Dorosin asked if the County's administrative expenses are higher. Peter Murphy said yes. He said this is the funding that is available under the rural administrative grant program, and urban funding is being applied for as well. Commissioner Dorosin clarified that costs are going up but the grant is remaining the same. He asked if the gap is getting significantly wider. Peter Murphy said the cost of living is the most significant difference, and the County is able to make up for some of these deficits with other funding sources. A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to approve the Community Transportation Program Grant application for FY 2017 in the total amount of$483,547 with a local match total of$56,693 to be provided when necessary; approve and authorize the Chair to sign the Community Transportation Program Resolution and the Local Share Certification for Funding form (Attachments 1 and 4); and authorized the Chair and the County Attorney to review and sign the annual Certifications and Assurances document in Attachment 2. Commissioner Dorosin asked if the application should be approved tonight, as the Board is holding the public hearing open until November 5th John Roberts said as the application has to be submitted by November 6th, the Board can adopt the resolution, publicize written comments to be accepted, and have the hearing automatically close at November 2nd at 5pm. He said at the BOCC meeting on the 5th the Board could close the public hearing. He said he is comfortable with adopting the resolution tonight, but the decision is up to the Board of County Commissioners. Peter Murphy said the application is filed electronically, and he is happy to leave the vote until November 5th Commissioner Rich and Commissioner Pelissier withdrew their motions.
