| Local Transportation Assistance Funds (LTAF) II Intergovernmental Agreements and Transit Agreements |
| Background Information |
According to legislation enacted in 1998, cities, towns, and counties that receive $2,500 or more in Local Transportation Assistance Funds (LTAF) II funding annually are required to use the funding for public transportation services. Gila County has been using the LTAF II funds to provide senior centers and other entities which provide transportation services with funds to support their continued transit operation.
During the Board of Supervisors' October 18, 2011, meeting, the Board recommended the distribution of funds from the LTAF II account in accordance to the 50% distribution. The distribution of these funds is necessary to keep within the LTAF II Program guidelines and expenditures for public transportation by the Arizona Department of Transportation.
No funds were distributed to the Copper Spike Excursion Train as it is no longer in operation. |

| Attached are agreements for the distribution of the LTAF II funds. Intergovernmental Agreements with the Town of Star Valley for $1,250, the City of Globe for $5,000, the Town of Miami Senior Center for $1,250, and the Town of Miami Cobre Valley Community Transit Program for $18,534.
