Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority in the amount of $164,250, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney, to provide Federal Transit Authority Section 5307 Funds for the Secure Bike Parking Systems project. 2. Approve a Title VI Plan of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as a condition of receiving Federal Transit Authority funding. DISCUSSION On June 21, 2010, the City Council authorized an application for project funding through the Transportation Enhancement Program administered by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). These funds are designated for transportation enhancement projects to support public transportation facilities. On December 16, 2011, OCTA awarded $164,250 in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 funds for the Secure Bike Parking Facilities project. The City Council subsequently approved and appropriated this funding in the FY 12/13 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). However, an executed agreement with OCTA is needed to receive the grant and to proceed with this project (Exhibit 1). The Secure Bike Parking Facilities project involves installation of facilities in both the Civic Center and Downtown areas (Exhibit 2) which will enable commuters to securely lock up and safely access their bicycles. The intent is to enhance urban mobility for transit-dependent individuals and to encourage commuter ridership. 25B-1
