PURPOSE:
To consider adopting a resolution to authorize the Transportation Division to submit a federal aid grant application to seek $2,560,000.00 in federal funding for right of way acquisition for the Clairmont Road, North Decatur Road, Clifton Road and Church Street Traffic Signal Upgrade Project (GDOT PI# 0006999) for use in fiscal year 2019 and to consider allowing the CEO to administer all necessary documents related to the application.

DeKalb County is currently responsible for the entire right of way cost of $3,200,000.00. If awarded the full requested federal aid amount of $2,560,000.00, the County's local match would be reduced to $640,000.00.
