RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY THE --EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AMENDING RESOLUTION 36-25 TO AUTHORIZE SULLIVAN COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO ACCEPT THE ENTIRETY OF THE FEDERAL SECTION 5311 FORMULA GRANT AWARD
WHEREAS, resolution 36-25 was enacted in January 2025 authorizing the County to apply for and accept funds from the Federal Section 5311 Formula Grant Program; and
WHEREAS, the Section 5311 Formula Grant Program is passed through to local Transportation agencies by the New York State Department of Transportation; and
WHEREAS, at the time the resolution was produced and enacted guidance from New York State Department of Transportation was unclear regarding the funding structure; and

WHEREAS, recent amendments from New York State Department of Transportation to the Section 5311 Formula Grant Program contract have made $950,856 available for acceptance; and
WHEREAS, there is a discrepancy of $313 dollars from the contract award amount ($951,169) and the amended schedule of available funds ($950,856) that will be disbursed at a later time; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to streamline further claiming the Sullivan County Department of Transportation requests authorization to accept 100% of the $951,169 including the discrepancy of $313 which will be provided by New York State Department of Transportation at a future time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that resolution 36-25 is amended to permit the County to accept 100% of the award amount of $951,169 with all other constituent parts of resolution 36-25 remaining the same; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Legislature hereby authorizes the County Manager, Chairman of the County Legislature, and/or their authorized representative (as required by the funding source) to execute any and all necessary documents to accept the additional Federal Section 5311 Formula Grant Program funding; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Legislature hereby authorizes the County Manager, and / or Chairman of the County Legislature (as required by the funding source) to accept the award, and enter into an award agreement or contract to administer the funding secured, in such form as the County Attorney shall approve; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that should the Federal Section 5311 Formula Grant Program funding be terminated, the County shall not be obligated to continue any action undertaken by the use of this funding.
