THRU: Dale Bagley, Mayor

FROM: Bonnie Golden, Grants Manager

DATE: July 21, 2005

SUBJECT: Resolution 2005-077, authorizing a grant award of $30,000 to CARTS

During the budgetary process, the assembly appropriated funds in the amount of $30,000 for the Central Area Rural Transit System, Inc., which provides public transportation services in the borough. The borough is authorized to fund public transportation systems pursuant to AS 29.35.210(b)(1) and KPB Chapter 13.10. Although the assembly appropriated the funds for this grant, KPB 13.10.040 requires assembly approval by resolution of grant awards for transportation systems. Attached for your reference is a copy of the grant application submitted by CARTS for funding in the amount of $50,000 for FY2006. As the assembly appropriated a grant award in the amount of $30,000, this resolution seeks approval to issue the grant award in the amount of $30,000.
