BACKGROUND:
The City’s 2020 Transit match was budgeted in the amount of $2,315,788.00 for fiscal year 2020.
In response to COVID-19, the federal government made additional funds available for transit
agencies. The Grant Agreements presented by previous Ordinance covers the operations of
Pueblo Transit for fiscal year 2020 but at a much lower match requirement ($432,289.00) based
on such federal funding provided in response to COVID-19. The difference between the budgeted
match of $2,315,788.00 and the actual match used ($1,094,930.43) is approximately
$1,019,580.00. The Administration is requesting that said amount of $1,019,580.00 be set aside
in Project Number BC2101 and budgeted and appropriated for funding the Future Transit A&M
Facility.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Total FY2020 saved City match in the amount of $1,019,580.00 shall be budgeted and
appropriated into Project No. BC2101 Future Transit A&M Facility.
