applications were due to VTA on July 13,2004 and by early September 2004 the VTA board willapprove the projects list for various agencies. The minimum acceptable grant is $150,000, so
Los Gatos worked with the City of Campbell, and together thejurisdictions crafted a project that was over $150,000 that would enhance both agencies. This project would provide repaving
of a number of residential streets around Pollard Road and Knowles Drive in both municipalities. DISCUSSION: We were informed by Metropolitan Transportation Commission (M'tC), who is
in charge of this grant, that funds can only be applied for collector and arterial not local residential streets. ' PREPARED BY: OHNE. CURTIS . irector ofParks

PAGE 2 MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING STAFF TO FILE AN APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION (STP) PROGRAM FUNDING AUGUST 10, 2004 Town staffhave
been discussing options with both MTC and the City ofCampbell, and it has been agreed that the City ofCampbell will do the project separately from Los Gatos as they intend to do resurfacing
on Bascom Avenue. MTCalso agreed that The Town of Las Gatos can use our total allocated grant funds for both years in one project. This would make our project funding limit to be $277,504.00
and would not require combining work with the City of Campbell. (' We are proposing to have the grant funds used for repairs and resurfacing ofLos Gatos-Almaden Road, Lester Lane, National
Avenue, and Camino del Cerro. These meet the criteria for resurfacing set by MTC and as validated by the Town's pavement index system. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that Council approve
the Resolution authorizing staff to file an for Federal Surface Transportation (STP) Program funding. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS: Is not a project defined under
CEQA, and no further action is required. FISCAL IMPACT: ForFY 2005-06, $40,000 will need to be budgeted by the Townin the proposed FY200511 0 Capital Improvement Plan as the local match
for this project. Attachment: Resolution authorizing staffto file an application for Federal Surface Transportation (STP) Program funding.
