RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
Authorize the City Manager to accept a Transportation and Community and System Preservation
(TCSP) grant from the Federal Highway Administration in the amount of $1,306,500 for
improvements to portions of the North Main and Berry Street corridors and for a study of Central
City commercial corridors, and
2 Authorize the City Manager to enter into a grant agreement with the Texas Department of
Transportation for use of the TCSP grant funds, and
3 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by $1,306,500, and
4 Rescind M&C (G-12771), dated December 21, 1999, with Ordinance No 14032, which estimated
the grant award to be $1,500,000
DISCUSSION
In December, 1999, the City Council approved M&C (G-12771), authorizing the City Manager to submit
a TCSP grant proposal to the Federal Highway Administration in order to receive an earmarked TCSP
grant in the amount of $1 5 million On March 17, 2000, the US Transportation Secretary announced
the FY 2000 TCSP grant awards, which reduced all of the earmarked TCSP grant amounts The City's
grant amount was reduced by $193,500 to $1,306,500 Accordingly, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) has requested that the City submit a revised grant budget proposal
The City proposes to use $1 million in TCSP funds to supplement the 1998 CIP bond funds allocated to
North Main Street ($1 56 million) and Berry Street ($1 5 million) The North Main Street project would
receive $400,000 and the Berry Street project would receive $600,000 in TCSP funds to supplement
bond funds for public improvements The City proposes to use the remaining $306,500 to provide
su;p:port for the economic development of other Central City commercial corridors. The high-priority
corridors would-be recommended by the City's Commercial Corridors Task Force The redevelopment
plans would identify potential funding sources and development tools
Appropriation Ordinance No 14032 was adopted by the City Council on December 21, 1999, increasing
estimated receipts and appropriations in the amount of $1,500,000 subject to the receipt of the grant.
That appropriation ordinance should be rescinded
