RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve, and authorize the Chair of the Board to execute, Agreement No. X20-5904(183) with the California Department of Transportation regarding the assignment of federal apportionments made available to the County of Humboldt for allocation to transportation projects in exchange for nonfederal State Highway Account funds; and
2. Direct the Clerk of the Board to return one (1) fully executed original copy of Agreement No. X20-5904(183) to the Department of Public Works for transmittal to the California Department of Transportation.
Body

Agreement No. X20-5904(183) with the California Department of Transportation (Attachment 1) must be executed in order for the County of Humboldt to participate in the program.

Agreement No. X20-5904(183) with the California Department of Transportation will provide Six Hundred Thirty-Six Thousand Three Hundred Eighty-Two Dollars ($636,382.00) to be placed in the Humboldt County Road Fund.
