Request/Subject

Ratification of the Board of Supervisors' approval to support public transportation services for the Towns of Payson and Star Valley in the amount of $25,000; and to approve Economic Development Grant No. 121818 between Gila County and the Payson Senior Center for the Beeline Bus Transit System's Transit Program for said grant.

Background Information

At the Board of Supervisors' May 1, 2018 meeting, the Payson Senior Center presented its plan to provide public transportation services to the Towns of Payson and Star Valley. The presentation included a request to the County to partially fund operational costs. The Payson Senior Center followed up with additional information confirming that they entered into a two-year contract with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for a pilot program transit system that will reach Mesa Del, Payson and Star Valley. The request on November 5, 2018, also asked for support from the County in the amount of $25,000. Granting of these funds is allowed per the requirements outlined in A.R.S. § 11-254.

Evaluation

The Payson Senior Center received a two-year contract from ADOT to support the pilot program and is requesting support from partner agencies. This is a request to ratify the Board of Supervisors' approval to provide an economic development grant to the Payson Senior Center for its Beeline Bus Transit System's Transit Program in the amount of $25,000; and to approve Economic Development Grant Agreement No. 121818 between Gila County and the Payson Senior Center for said grant.

Conclusion

A check from Gila County in the amount of $25,000 was previously presented by the Board of Supervisors to the Payson Senior Center. The Board needs to approve Payson Senior Center's request for an economic development grant request in the amount of $25,000; and approve Economic Development Grant Agreement No. 121818.

Recommendation

Ratify the Board of Supervisors' approval to support public transportation services for the Towns of Payson and Star Valley in the amount of $25,000; and to approve Economic Development Grant No. 121818 between Gila County and the Payson Senior Center for its Beeline Bus Transit System's Transit Program

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to ratify the Board of Supervisors' approval to support public transportation services for the Towns of Payson and Star Valley in the amount of $25,000; and to approve Economic Development Grant Agreement No. 121818 between Gila County and the Payson Senior Center for its Beeline Bus Transit System's Transit Program.
