  3. The City of Portland wishes to exchange unspent federal funds for state funds, in order to fund installing pedestrian islands and signals on NE Killingsworth Street between Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard and 33rd Avenue using state funding. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has determined that the City of Portland is eligible for state funds for the work to be performed under the attached agreement (Exhibit A) through the State Funded Local Project (SFLP) Program. The Parties enter into the attached Agreements to exchange these funds, identify the Projects that will be funded with the state funds, and describe the method State will use to reimburse Agency for work performed on the Projects using the state funds, including establishing invoicing requirements and the proportional reimbursement rate; and
  4. The SFLP State funds for these for this project totals and are limited to $379,823.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

  1. The Commissioner-in-Charge is hereby authorized to accept on behalf of the City of Portland a grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation for NE Killingsworth Street between Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard and 33rd Avenue in the amount of $379,823.  Any increases to the Grant Amount must be approved by the City Council.

An ordinance when passed by the Council shall be signed by the Auditor. It shall be carefully filed and preserved in the custody of the Auditor (City Charter Chapter 2 Article 1 Section 2-122)
