Adoption of Resolution No. 4107-1217 — A resolution of the Mayor and <br /> Council of the City of Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona authorizing the <br /> City of Prescott to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), <br /> with the Northern Arizona Council of Governments (NACOG) — Economic <br /> Workforce Development, providing for the administration of the Voucher <br /> Transit Program for Calendar Year 2012, and authorizing the Mayor and <br /> staff to take any and all steps necessary to accomplish the above. <br /> Mr. Guice said the program was administered by the Arizona Department <br /> of Transportation (ADOT) for elderly, disabled and low income persons. <br /> He noted that no new sources of funding had been established by the <br /> State for transit. He noted that it was anticipated that 2012 would be the <br /> last year of the voucher program. He said the total amount available was <br /> $85,087.45 which included the City's 25 percent cash match, which had <br /> been budgeted. <br /> Teri Drew, Northern Arizona Council of Governments, thanked Mr. Guice <br /> for perpetuating the funds over the past eleven years. She said that it had <br /> been a pilot project that was expected to end every year. She said the <br /> project was very important that year, especially due to the recession. She <br /> noted that she and the Mayor had visited businesses in the City and they <br /> were concerned with the lack of transit. She then offered a brief report on <br /> the voucher program. <br /> Councilwoman Suttles asked if she had any guarantee that the State <br /> would supply the funds for the 2012 budget. Ms. Drew said there were no <br /> guarantees, but she had great confidence that the funds would continue. <br /> Councilwoman Suttles asked what they would do with the people who <br /> used the vouchers when the vouchers no longer existed. Ms. Drew said <br /> there were some other rides and opportunities available. <br /> COUNCILWOMAN SUTTLES MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. <br /> 4107-1217; SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN LAMERSON; PASSED <br /> UNANIMOUSLY. <br />
