Item No. 13 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: PARIS TRANSIT <br />DATE: January 31, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: As we have discussed previously, the area COG and United Way have been <br />working together to get a much - needed, fixed -route transit system in Paris, hopefully to begin <br />operation in the spring. United Way's April Carl addressed the council on January 24, as did <br />representatives of the COG. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: The city has agreed to provide shelter construction assistance and to <br />manufacture and install route signage. Mr. Pickle has recommended that the city also provide <br />additional financial assistance in the amount of $25,000 to complete the required local grant <br />match ofjust over $100,000, much of which has already been pledged. <br />BUDGET: Funding is not budgeted. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Provide requested financial assistance. <br />
