COMMISSION ACTION REQUESTED:
Consider approval of FY 2019 GDOT contract in the amount of $304,934.00 for operating assistance and $113,152.00 for capital costs associated with the CATS 5311 Rural Transportation Program. Cherokee County's obligation is $152,467.00 for operations and $11,315.00 for capital purchase (2 buses).
FACTS AND ISSUES:
The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) provides reimbursement funds to the County for the County's rural transportation program - 5311, as well as capital to replace the aging bus fleet. The County is obligated to provide a 50% match of operating expenses, in this case $152,467.00. DHS annual funds and fares will be used to off-set the County's match.

This contract also includes a County match of $11,315.00 or 10% of the cost for replacement of two (2) buses.

In FY 2018 the County is currently receiving the same amount - $152,467.00 in Federal 5311 funds from GDOT per the existing contract. The FY 2018 contract also included the cost for two (2) bus replacements.
