(GOVERNING BODY OF GRANTEE)
APPROVING LOCAL MATCH DOLLARS
FOR GRANT APPLICATION
FOR THE KENDALL COMMUNITY TRANSIT PROJECT
WHEREAS, the population of Kendall County has grown by 45.8% from April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2005;
and
WHEREAS, Kendall County is among a small number of counties in the State of Illinois where public
transit services do not exist; and
WHEREAS, a Working Group consisting of various local governments, social service agencies, non-
profits, health organizations, and others assessed existing resources and transportation needs, resulting
in a vision statement and service priorities, and designed a potential public transit Project that fits the
resources and needs of the County; and
WHEREAS, the total Project cost is estimated to cost $500,000 annually; and
WHEREAS, Section 5311 Rural Public Transportation Program has been identified as a potential funding
source for the Project, requiring approximately $125,000 or 25% local match; and
WHEREAS, Kendall County local government representatives determined that population was the most
logical basis for local government contributions to the Project's local match; and
WHEREAS, $125,000 of approximate required local match for the Project's grant applications will be
distributed amongst the local governments (municipalities and the County) based on their respective
percentages of Kendall County's total population, or approximately $1.53 per capita; and
WHEREAS, to ensure that transit contributions keep pace with increasing population, the most current
population estimates, resulting from special census or most recent US Census projections, will be utilized
to calculate annual contributions; and
WHEREAS, if social service agencies and non - profits donations (excluding fare box recovery) combined
with local government contributions result in local match dollars exceeding $150,000, the excess above
$150,000 will equitably reduce the per capita contribution for each municipality and the County; and
WHEREAS, local governments participating in the transit Project, if selected for funding, would partner
with the Voluntary Action Center of DeKalb, a non - profit agency that has provided transit services to the
DeKalb County area since 1975.
