Body
ANALYSIS:
The City of Corona Transit Program is partially funded through assistance from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The FTA requires the City to adopt a resolution every fifteen (15) years for the purpose of delegating proper authority to City staff acting on the City’s behalf. The City adopted Resolution No. 2005-97 for this purpose on August 17, 2005.
The FTA requires that all recipients identify the individuals properly authorized by the governing body of the grantee to take certain actions. Specifically, these individuals are authorized to file applications, provide annual certifications and assurances that the City will comply with pertinent federal rules and regulations and execute an agreement with the FTA for federal assistance for the City’s transit program. Resolution No. 2020-088 identifies the Public Works Director, or a designee authorized by the Public Works Director, to execute and file applications, annual certifications and assurances, and other documents that the FTA requires. In conjunction, the resolution also authorizes the City Attorney to execute and file the annual certifications and assurances and other documents such as the Opinion of Counsel, which is required by the FTA.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Not applicable.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal 4: Actively engage in public and private partnerships to provide services and amenities; Objective A: Proactively develop partnerships with local and regional business interest and agencies by participating in community events and sharing information regarding City of Corona Transit Service.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Approval of the recommended resolution is necessary for continued eligibility for federal assistance to support current and future capital projects and operating costs by demonstrating compliance with 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53, Title 23, United States Code, or other federal statutes administered by the Federal Transit Administration.

This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
