Information Systems      Grant Coordinator / Originator  SUMMARY STATEMENT: The City of McCall submitted a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant application in 2014 and 2015 for Downtown Master Plan implementation. The TIGER program provides federal funding for surface transportation improvements such as roadways and sidewalks. Recent feedback from the US Department of Transportation revealed that McCall’s 2015 application was “highly recommended” for funding, but was not selected. Staff recommend that the City reapply for TIGER funding in 2016 for the downtown project. Exact costs are not known as of this time, but a final summary of project costs and funding sources will be presented to the Council at the 4/28/16 meeting.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve submission of a FY2016 TIGER grant application for infrastructure improvements in the downtown core and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
