Executive Summary:
The Department of Public Infrastructure (SPI) is requesting the Board adopt a Resolution that authorizes the Chair to execute State Match Program Agreement X25-5920(188) with the California Department of Transportation, which will provide up to $100,000 in matching funds to be used for federally funded projects in FY 2024-25. The State Match Program assists the County with funding the local match requirement that is a required component of many federal grants.
Discussion:
Section 182.9 of the Streets and Highways Code governs the allocations of funds from the State Highway Account for State Match. The California Transportation Commission must allocate to each county an amount equal to 50 percent of the Federal regional surface transportation funds allocated to the county pursuant to Section 182.6(d)(2) with a maximum limit of $100,000 per county per fiscal year. State match funds are used to match Federal funds allocated pursuant to section 182.6(d)(2) of the Streets and Highways Code.
At this time, the State has presented the County with Agreement No. X25-5920(188) (Attachment A) wherein the County agrees to use state funds for transportation purposes, agrees to establish a special account within the road fund, and agrees to allow the State to audit the funds. Under this agreement, the State will advance to the County a one-year apportionment of funds up to $100,000. The Department uses these funds as local match for federally funded projects (primarily bridge), where other sources of local match may not be eligible. In FY 2023-24, state matching funds were used as part of a local match for Geysers Road Bridge over Sulphur Creek, River Road Bridge over Gill Creek, and Bohemian Highway over Russian River and other various bridge projects.
In 2024-25, appropriations were included within the Capital Improvements Adopted Budget and will be used as a local match to federal funding for various bridge projects. Public Infrastructure requests the Board adopt a Resolution that authorizes the Chair to execute State Match Program Agreement No. X24-5920(188) with the California Department of Transportation.
