SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
AND THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION
AUTHORITY FOR THE AZUSA INTERMODAL TRANSIT CENTER
SUMMARY:
On September 2, 2014, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an Agreement between
the City and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) allowing
LACMTA to act as a designated grant recipient for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant funds
for the Azusa Intermodal Transit Center. The FTA is requesting an amendment to provide some minor
clarification to the project details. This action will authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment
to the Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
1) Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to Agreement between the City and
the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority allowing LACMTA to act as a
designated grant recipient for FTA grant funds for the Azusa Intermodal Transit Center.
DISCUSSION:
On September 24, 2009, LACMTA awarded the City $3,520,190 in federal Congestion Mitigation/Air
Quality (CMAQ) funds for the construction of the Azusa Intermodal Transit Center. Although the grant
is from LACMTA, the CMAQ funds are from the Federal Transit Administration, requiring the City to
obtain the services of LACMTA to operate as the pass-through agency to receive these federal funds.
The original Agreement between the City and LACMTA was approved by the City Council on
September 2, 2014.
