RECOMMENDATION:
Informational report for discussion
BACKGROUND:
Board Policy 2.2 Contract Authority, Procurement and Grants states that any discretionary grant pursued by the Authority will be consistent with the Authority’s mission and strategic priorities. The policy also requires that the Executive Director notify the Board of Trustees if a discretionary grant of $250,000 or more is being sought. This report on upcoming and in-process discretionary grant applications provides the Board an opportunity to be informed and give input on proposed grant applications.
The discretionary grant update provides information on:
• Grant applications proposed
• Grants not selected for award
• Grant applications submitted waiting selection; and
• Grants that have been selected for award but have not yet been obligated in a grant agreement.
DISCUSSION:
A grants update will be provided to inform that 11 grants are yet to be submitted (in addition to 2 which were previously reported). 1 Grant is awaiting selection (previously reported) and 2 grants have been selected for award

FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed match will be provided through UTA local funds. The projects are included in the 5 year capital plan and/or current approved capital and operating budgets. Note: the funding requests are for 2031. If awarded the funds may be moved to an earlier year if available.
