suB~ECT APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE AND AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH TEXAS
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR COMPREHENSIVE STEP CONTRACT
AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract amendment with the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) decreasing the amount received from TxDOT on the Safe and Sober
Selective Trafi:tc Enforcement Program (STEP) program by $52,140; and
2. Authorize the use of $35,462 in inkind indirect costs a.s a matching amount for this grant; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by $35,462.
DISCUSSION:
On October 1, 2002 ~(M&C C-19274), the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a
contract with TxDOT to continue the operation of the Comprehensive: STEP. TxDOT has now
requested a contract amendment that will bring both TxDOT and the City into full compliance, with
Federal Grant Regulations. The amendment will:
•. Change the name of this project from Comprehensive STEP to Safe and Sober STEP, which
appears on the Texas Highway Safety Plan's approved project list; and
• Correct the City's required match from 25% to 50%; and
• Authorize the use of indirect costs as an inkind match for this grant.
When the original contract was prepared, the state requested a 25% match. However, federal
regulations require a 50% match. Necessary .budget and programmatic changes have been made in
order to .ensure that the City meets the 50% match requirement without exceeding the $75,460 in
matching funds that, were approved by the City Council on October 1, 2002. This revision also
increases the total project amount from $214,000 to $218,349.
The indirect cost was initially waived on M&C C-19274, but TxDOT has authorized its use as an inkind
match for this amendment. Therefore, an appropriation ordinance is needed because the
appropriations for' the indirect costs were not authorized on the original Mayor and Council
Communication. _
The revised budget is as follows:
