SUBJECT: Jule Public Hearing Iowa Department of Transportation’s Consolidated Funding
Application
DATE: June 23, 2020
PURPOSE
To request approval of the annual Consolidated Funding Application from the Iowa DOT, forms
requiring signature by the City Manager, and to secure a formal authorizing resolution from city
council.
BACKGROUND
To receive the state operating and maintenance allocations for FY21, The Jule is required to submit a
Consolidated Funding Application (CFA). This annual application requires that, along with other
documents, a Certificate of Cost Allocation Plan, a Lobbying Cost Certificate, and an Authorizing
Resolution be submitted. The Jule, as the public transit agency operated by the City of Dubuque,
receives a portion of its annual operating funds from the Iowa Department of Transportation (IA
DOT)/Office of Public Transit (OPT) and/or Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The timely submittal
of the Consolidated Funding Application is critical to ensuring the release of funds.
DISCUSSION
The City of Dubuque d.b.a. The Jule is, as a federally and state funded public transit agency,
prohibited from engaging in behaviors that are not consistent with current Federal and State laws
regarding accounting and reporting practices and use of federal/state funding for purposes of
lobbying.
By signing the Certificate of Cost Allocation Plan (Plan) the City of Dubuque (City) is certifying that it
follows 2 CFR Part 225 “Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments,” including
generally accepted accounting principles, that an adequate accounting and statistical system exists,
that information in support of the Plan is accurate, and that all federally unallowable costs have been
excluded from allocations. The Plan refers to the funding amounts shown in the Authorizing
Resolution.
By signing the Authorizing Resolution, city council states that it (1) authorizes Renee Tyler, Director of
Transportation Services, to apply for The Jule’s annual operating and maintenance allocations from
IDOT and (2) has sufficient non-federal funds or sufficient in-kind match to provide local match.
BUDGET IMPACTS
The following funding/revenue amounts are budgeted and will be received if the Consolidated
Funding Application and required documentation are submitted.
The State Operating Allocation and 5310 funding is determined by combining annual fixed route and
paratransit service ridership, revenue miles and operating expenses, which is weighted along with
locally generated revenue/financial support. The total population of each city or region is portioned as
a percentage of Iowa’s total population, which is weighted to percentage of formula funding. The
Jule’s share of funding for FY20 is 2.01608950%.
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, the IA DOT/ Office of Public Transit (OPT) has projected that The Jule’s
State Operating Allocation will be $305,165 and the Section 5310 formula allocation will be
$120,091for a projected total of $425,256 in FY 2021 allocated funding.
The Jule received a grant for marketing funds to promote the Intermodal Center. The maximum
award is $7,500.
RECOMMENDATION/ACTION STEP
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Consolidated Funding application as submitted,
and approve signature of the Lobbying Cost Certificate, Certificate of Cost Allocation Plan and
Authorizing Resolution.
