request from HIRTA to carryover$3,156.63 approved in the FY 2014/15 ASSET funding process
for its City Transportation program; and,
WHEREAS, the drawdown deadline for these funds was in July 2015; and,
WHEREAS, HIRTA indicated that it believed a drawdown request had been submitted in
June 2015, but neither City staff nor HIRTA can produce documentation for this request; and,

Sales Tax fund; and,

2015/16 allocation for HIRTA; and,

cost of$38,133, and HIRTA's FY 2015/16 contract provides for 3,284 rides at a total contracted
amount of$40,000; and,
WHEREAS, HIRTA has drawn down 1,100 units ($13,398)of the in-town rides from July
through October of the current fiscal year; and,

authorized;the City Council may,however,direct that additional funds be authorized from the Local
Option Sales Tax fund to support the request.
