Approve the attached resolution authorizing execution of the Local Transportation Project Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) for receipt of Statewide Transportation Enhancement Funds and Transportation and Community and System Preservation Funds; and 2. Authorize the execution of a Local Transportation Project Advance Funding Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT); and 3. Authorize the remittance of a check in the amount of $10,000 made payable to TxDOT to cover the cost for the state's review of the preliminary plans, specifications, and engineering work as required by the agreement. DISCUSSION: The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) established a Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program (STEP) to address transportation programs that contribute to the livelihood of communities, the quality of our environment and the aesthetics of our roadways. Transportation enhancements are funded through the Surface Transportation Program (STP), administered by TxDOT for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Ten percent of STP funds are set aside for enhancement activities. Texas has approximately $128 million in its apportionment of federal funds to be awarded in the 1999 Program Call of the STEP. On January 27, 2000, the Texas Transportation Commission passed Minute Order No. 108065 awarding funding for projects in the 1999 Program Call of the STEP. The Texas Transportation Commission awarded federal funding in the amount of $892,080 for the construction of Berry Street from Evans Avenue to the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad. The federal share will not exceed seventy percent of the actual cost of the project. Costs in excess of the federal share will be borne by the City. The City's share of the cost is estimated to be $382,320. The 1998 Capital Improvement Program authorized funds for the Berry Street project. Upon execution of the agreement, the City must remit payment in the amount of $10,000 to TxDOT for review of the preliminary plans, specifications, and engineering work as required by the agreement. Approximately sixty days prior to TxDOTs awarding of the construction contract, the City will be required to fund the balance of the City's share of the project cost. The agreement details the responsibilities of both the City and TxDOT in the development of the project. The City is responsible for the design of the project, securing any needed rights-of-way, adjusting or relocating utilities, and identification and assessment of any environmental mitigation associated with the project. TxDOT will advertise, award and inspect construction of the project.

Under the TCSP grant, the Berry Street project would receive $600,000 to supplement bond funds for public improvements.
