This balance stems from two STBG funded projects that were completed under budget. The Clark Avenue Traffic Study was completed $11,691.80 under budget and the Travel Demand Modeling and Visioning Services Contract was completed $17,866.75 under budget. She added that reallocation of the funds must be completed by the end of August, or returned to MoDOT. Staff only identified one project, the City of St. Martins 2018 TAP project that would be practical for the reallocation. The City of St. Martins was awarded a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) Grant in 2018 totaling $873,529.75 to improve ADA compliance and Pedestrian/Bicycle access along Business 50 West. The STBG funds could be used to reduce the local match for S t. Martins. The TAP project currently has a local match 55% ($476,073.71) which could be reduced to 51% through the use of STBG funds. She stated that if it is decided to give the funds to St. Martins, this will result in a staff led administrative modification of the project in the Transportation Improvement Program. Mr. Morasch made a motion to reallocate the remaining STBG fund balance to the City of St. Martins for use in completing the awarded 2018 TAP Project. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, the motion passed unanimously. 7. Other Business A. Status of current work tasks  Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
