The North Carolina Public Transportation Division released the Combined Capital Transportation Program application for fiscal year 2024. The BOC is the only official applicant for these funds. Rowan County is required to hold another Public Hearing to reflect the changes to vehicle pricing and additional vehicles qualifying for replacement due to cancelled orders from FY 2022.
Combined Capital (Federal Section 5311, 5311 Appalachian, 5307, 5339) application will secure 90% grant support for vehicles utilized in the rural and urban areas. In conjunction with submitting these budgets, Rowan County must also execute agreements on multiple Federal and State certifications and assurances.
The purpose of the public hearing is to allow residents of the community the opportunity to comment on Rowan County transportation needs and grant applications. This step requests the Board of Commissioners to publish a public notice in the newspaper that gives the date, time, and place for a public hearing. It is a requirement that the Public Hearing Notice provide a minimum of seven (7) calendar days notice and a maximum of fourteen (14) calendar days notice between the time the notice is published and the actual public hearing date.
Recommendation:
That the Board of Commissioners set the public hearing for the RTS FY2024 Transportation Combined Capital application for the next regularly scheduled County Commission meeting, January 3, 2023 at 3:00 PM.
