Funding Application
DATE: June 10, 2024
PURPOSE
This memorandum requests the City Council conduct a public hearing to adopt the attached
resolution approving the annual Jule Consolidated Funding Application to the Iowa Department of
Transportation (IDOT).
BACKGROUND
To receive the state operating and maintenance allocations for fiscal year 2025 (FY25), 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, 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 IDOT/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
By signing the Authorizing Resolution, city council states that it (1) authorizes Ryan Knuckey, 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 a percentage of formula funding. The
Jule's share of funding for FY25 is 2.47%.
In FY25, the IDOT/OPT has projected that The Jule's State Operating Allocation will be $470,237 and
the Section 5310 formula allocation will be $45,560 for a projected total of $515,797 in FY25 allocated
funding.
RECOMMENDATION/ACTION STEP
I am respectfully requesting that the City Council conduct a public hearing to adopt the resolution
approving The Jule's IDOT Consolidated Funding application as submitted.
