Adopt resolution
City of Dublin's Housing Incentive Program grant application has
been approved in the amount of $1,306,125 for a transportation
enhancement project that has not been determined thus far. The
City will be required to provide 11.5% local match ($169,722) to
construct the project.
DESCRIPTION: Staff submitted to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission
(MTC) an application to the Transportation for Livable Communities Housing Incentive Program (HIP) in
conjunction with the proposed Dublin Transit Center. On July 25, 2001, the MTC granted the City of
Dublin HIP funds in the amount of $1,306,125 subject to the approval of the Dublin Transit Center.
These funds could be used for any type of transportation enhancement project or projects that qualify
under MTC's Transportation for Livable Communities program. Staff will identify a potential project or
projects that could be funded with these HIP funds and will make recommendation to the Council as part
of next fiscal year's 5-year Capital Improvement Program. The next step in the process is to submit to
MTC a resolution authorizing the filing of a grant application and committing the necessary local match
for the project and stating the assurance of the City of Dublin to complete the project.
If, for some reason, the Transit Center does not get approved by the City Council, the HIP grant would not
be given to Dublin and the assurance in this resolution would become moot.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution authorizing the filing of an application for
Federal Surface Transportation funds through MTC's Transportation for Livable Communities Housing
Incentive Program and committing the necessary local match for the project and stating the assurance of
the City of Dublin to complete the project.
