Condensed Title: Public Hearing
A RESOLUTION REGARDING THE APPROPRIATION OF $600,000 IN FY 2001-02 CONGESTION
MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY (CMAQ) FUNDS, FOLLOWING A PUBLIC HEARING, AS FOLLOWS:
RATIFYING A $300,000 APPROPRIATION IN FY 2001-02, UNDER RESOLUTION NO. 2001-24586, AND
APPROPRIATING THE REMAINING $300,000 IN FY 2002-03 FOR OPERATING PURPOSES OF THE
ELECTROWAVE SHUTTLE SERVICE.
Issue:
Shall the City appropriate $600,000 in CMAQ operating funds for the Electrowave?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
The City is in the process of becoming a "designated recipient" of Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
funds, independent of Miami-Dade Transit. As a result, the City will deal directly with FT A regarding the
federal CMAQ funds. $600,000 in CMAQ funds were allocated in FY 2001-02 for operating purposes of
the Electrowave Shuttle Service. Consequently, the :ity is required (by 49 U.S. Code Section 53), to hold
a public hearing on the City's intended use of these funds, which are administered by FTA. The City
proposes to utilize these funds as follow: 1) $300,000 to retroactively provide for a portion of the operating
expenditures covered by the FY 2001-02 Electrowave Operating Budget, which was approved/appropriated
by Resolution No. 2001-24586 dated 09/21/01; and 2) appropriating the remaining $300,000 as part of an
upcoming FY 2002-03 operating budget. The required 20% local cash match would be amply provided as
follows: in FY 2001-02 by the already approved City contribution to the on-going Electrowave Operating
Budget, utilizing Parking Enterprise Retained Earnings; and in FY 2002-03, subject to final approval by the
City Commission as part of the upcoming Electrowave Operating Budget.

A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, REGARDING THE APPROPRIATION OF
$600,000 IN FISCAL YEAR 2001-02 CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR
QUALITY (CMAQ) FUNDS, AS FOLLOWS; 1) RATIFYING A PREVIOUS
CITY APPROPRIATION OF $300,000 OF THESE FUNDS, UNDER

FURTHER STATING THAT THE REQUIRED TWENTY PERCENT LOCAL

THE MIAMI BEACH CONTRIBUTION ALREADY APPROPRIATED UNDER
RESOLUTION NO. 2001-24586; AND 2) IN FY 2002-03, SUBJECT TO
FINAL APPROVAL BY THE CITY COMMISSION IN SEPTEMBER 2002, AS
PART OF THE CITY'S APPROVAL OF THE FY 2002-03 ELECTROWAVE
OPERATING BUDGET.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
As the only "designated recipient" of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds in Miami-
Dade County, the Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) has acted as coordinator/pass-through of
both FTA and Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) funds allocated to the Miami
Beach Electrowave Shuttle Service. Therefore, until recently, MDT has conducted the
public hearings on both funds, as required by 49 U.S.C., Chapter 53.
In FY 2001-02, when $600,000 in CMAQ funds were allocated for operatina purposes
of the Electrowave, the City was informed of MDT's intention to quit the coordinator/pass
through role, on the City's behalf. Consequently, the City is in the process of becoming a
"designated recipient" of FTA and CMAQ funds, independent of MDT.
CMAQ funds are administered by FT A, with the Florida Department of Transportation's
(FDOT) Work Program process acting as the clearinghouse for the funds. Once CMAQ
funds are allocated for the Electrowave, the following FTA guidelines become applicable
to the City:

Commission Memorandum
Public Hearing/CMAQ Funds for Electrowave
Page 2
1. FDOT designates a "financial number" for each individual CMAQ fund allocation, this
particular $600,000 in FY 2001-02 funds being FM #253515-1-84-01.
2. The City identifies the required 20% local cash match to the CMAQ funds. This local
match is amply provided for in the an-nual Electrowave operating budget, which
normally includes over $1 million in Miami Beach Parking Enterprise Retained Earnings.
3. The City holds a properly advertised public hearing on the CMAQ funds and their
proposed uses, and appropriates the funds for operating purposes of the Electrowave
Shuttle Service. In this particular case, the Administration proposes to utilize the
$600,000 in FY 2001-02 CMAQ funds as follows:
o $300,000 as part of the present FY 2001-02 Electrowave Operating Budget. In fact,
Resolution No. 2001-24586, dated September 21, 2001, already included this
$300,000 and the City's 20% matching funds for the above-mentioned purpose; and
o $300,000 as part of the upcoming FY 2002-03 Electrowave Operating Budget,
which will be submitted for Commission consideration/adoption in September 2002.
4. The City files the application/appropriation packet electronicallv with the FT A Regional
Office in Atlanta, Georgia. The City submission is prepared by the Miami Beach
Transportation Management Association (MBTMA), then reviewed and signed
electronically by designated City officials (Director of Public Works and City Attorney).
5. FTA Regional Office reviews the paperwork, attaches a number to the funding
application (CMAQ grant number), and submits it to the next level of approval.
6. FTA Central/Washington D.C. reviews/approves the Regional Office recommendation.
7. U.S. Department of Labor reviews for compliance with labor laws.
8. FT A "obligates" the CMAQ funds for operating purposes of the Electrowave. Once FT A
obligates the funds they are secured for the intended purpose.
9. City (MBTMA) pays the vendor invoices, utilizing City funds advanced for the
purpose.
10. MBTMA prepares packet and City submits invoices/request for reimbursement to the
FTA Regional Office.
11. FT A reimburses the City for the operating expenditures covered by CMAQ funds.
In order for the City to be reimbursed, retroactively, for the $300,000 in FY 2001-02
Electrowave operating expenditures covered by these CMAQ funds; and to utilize the
$300,000 fund balance in FY 2002-03, the Administration recommends approval.9.1 the
