'rE funds provide 80'% funding, with a 20% local match <br />required. With this in mind I am further recommending that ('ass County <br />pay 50(Vo of local costs not to exceed $14,000. <br /> <br />We have applied for TE funds for this prqject in the past unsuccessfully. <br />This year we plan to apply f()r a smaller project than in the past for both TF~ <br />and Sate Routes To School (SRTS) llmding. The path is planned to be 10 <br />feet wide and approximately 2000 feet long, running !i'om City Hall to Carl <br />Olsen Street. <br /> <br />The DOT accepts applications for Tr~ Funds once a year, with this year's <br />deadline being November 20, 2008. D()T rules aIlO\v only counties or cities <br />with populations over 5000 to apply for SRTS Funds directly; therefore <br />Cass County is needed as a sponsor because MapJctol1 can not apply directly <br />f()r these grants. <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: Authorize Chainnan to sign an application for <br />a 20 I 0 Transportation Enhancement grant f<:)r a multi-use path adjacent to <br />Cass County Highway J J in Mapleton with an estimated construction cost <br />of $ 138,498.48. The approval is contingent upon the City of Maplelon <br />funding Ilotless than 50% of the 20% local match required. <br /> <br />I.
