Three items: '- (l) A Schedule for Actions and Improvements in the Orange County Coordinated Human Services Transportation System in the Period 1981-1985 (Attachment #1), specifically: (a) developing a formal coordinated structure entitled Orange C.A.T. for Orange County Coordinated Agency Transportati (b) designating JOCCA as lead transportation agency for p`/r+ of capital equipment requests under UMTA l6(b)(2) (c) establishing an independent Orange County transportation board responsible to the County Commissioners (d) allowing C.A.T, vehicles to purchase fuel from the County garage (e) designating Orange County (DOA Director as coordinator to work with County staff) as manager of a central vehicle maintenance system on behalf of the Orange C.A.T. (2) A Revised Replacement Schedule for Vehicles and Related Capital ' -- Equipment that includes the April UMTA Application (Attachment #2t (3) The UMTA 16(b)(2) Capital Assistance Application submitted in April 1982 JOCCA on behalf of the C & T and a decision on the �pr by , . . funding contribution, if any, for the applicatinn. Application specifies $7"035 of County funds (Attachment #3). NEED:- Although JOCCA`s 1982 application for 16(b)(2) funds was found satisfactory ' by the State (see Attachment #4), it was not approved due to the lack of funds at the State level. Nonetheless, action is needed by the Board for (1) processing the UMTA 16(b)(2) application by the N.C. Dept. of Transportation in the event that funding becomes available later this year and (2) establishing a governing body to coordinate vehicle requests and the transportation system. IMPACT: If approved, the revised TDP will mean the possibility of several thousands of dollars of UMTA Capital Assistance funds. However, it may require additional County funds to match future UMTA applications and will indicate an increased County involvement in coordinating transportation. REC0MENDpJl0N(S): Department on Aging staff recommends approval.
