5 1 The NCDOT CTP FY 2017 grant requires a 15% local match ($25,015) for 2 administrative expenses and a 10% local match ($31,678) for capital expenses for a total of 3 $56,693. As a comparison, the total CTP grant amount requested for FY 2016 was $166,765 4 for administrative expenses ($25,015 local match) and $232,286 for capital expenses ($23,229 5 local match) for a total of$48,244 local match, an increase of$84,496 in total expenses 6 ($8,449 local match) from FY 2016 to FY 2017. The indicated local match amounts will be 7 requested in the upcoming FY 2017 budget cycle and must be committed from Orange 8 County's budget for the performance period of July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017 (FY 2017), 9 as indicated in the attached Local Share Certification for Funding form (Attachment 4). This will 10 require Orange County to obligate funding in its next budget cycle for these expenses. A total of 11 $56,693 would come from the County's general operating budget. This is not expanding any 12 services only to maintain rural services; therefore no OCBRIP funds will be used. 13 He said this was an extended public hearing, and to date no further written comments 14 have been received. He said at the Commissioners' places is a multi-year history sheet. He 15 said the grant amount has been the same since 2012, with the exception of a $20,000 reduction 16 in Orange County, due to the census. 17 18 A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner Price to 19 close the public hearing and to approve the Community Transportation Program Grant 20 application for FY 2017 in the total amount of$483,547 with a local match total of$56,693 to be 21 provided when necessary, approve and authorize the Chair to sign the Community 22 Transportation Program Resolution and the Local Share Certification for Funding form 23 (Attachments 1 and 4), and authorize the Chair and the County Attorney to review and sign the 24 annual Certifications and Assurances document in Attachment 2. 25 26 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 27 28 b.
