Approve a Resolution Committing to Fulfill the Local Match Requirements for a Caltrans Community Based Transportation Planning Grant for the Columbus Avenue Revitalization Master Plan (Plan) and Authorizing the Executive Director to Enter Into and Execute Grant Agreements with the California Department of Transportation to Prepare the Plan - ACTION* (attachment) (unsigned resolution)In July 2006, the Authority acting as the fiscal agent for RENEW SF, a neighborhood organization located in the North Beach area of the City, was awarded a $144,000 Caltrans Community Based Transportation Planning grant for the Columbus Avenue Revitalization Master Plan (Plan). In order for the Authority to receive the grant, Caltrans requires that by the end of the calendar year we approve a local resolution authorizing the Executive Director to enter into and execute grant agreements with Caltrans for this specific planning effort, and to identify and commit to providing the local match needed to fully fund the Plan. The Plan focuses on Columbus Avenue from the Transamerica Pyramid to Fisherman's Wharf, and is intended to support economic revitalization and pedestrian activity on Columbus Avenue , and build transportation planning capacity among neighborhood organizations. The grant requires a 20% local match or $36,000, which is proposed to be funded with $12,000 in Prop K funds, $12,000 in in-kind contributions from RENEW SF, and $12,000 from DPW equally split between in-kind contributions and cash. At its December 12 meeting, the Plans and Programs Committee will be asked to recommend appropriation of $12,000 in Prop K funds for the Plan. We are developing a memorandum of understanding with DPW and RENEW SF regarding their share of the local match. This item was continued at the December meeting in order to incorporate scope adjustments requested by Commissioner Peskin. We are seeking approval of a resolution to commit fulfillment of the local match requirements for a Caltrans Community Based Transportation Planning Grant for the Plan and authorizing the Executive Director to enter into and execute grant agreements with the California Department of Transportation to prepare the Plan.13.
