Minnesola Departrneni of Transportalion Transporlalion Building St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 Phone 296-9872 April 4, 1980 Selected Counties ' Selected Cities (over 5,000 population) Selected Cities (3,000-5,000' population) Re: Project for Correcting Regulatory and Warning Signs, Etc., on Non-Federal A~d Streets and Highways - SRS O00S(5) Funding Status Gentlemen: My September 18, 1979, letter of the same subject indicated that I would advise you when additional funds were obligated to this program. Congress and the Federal Highway Administration recently apportioned Safer Off System (SOS) funds to the states. Accordingly, I have reviewed your programs' needs and have requested $419,997 of SOS funds supplementing the subject SRS project to furnish and install authorized signs, etc. The above is the good news. The bad news is that SOS funds are at 76.73 percent federal participation. The remaining 23.27 percent must be borne by the Participant. I trust your,priorities are such that you will find a way to complete the furnish and install phase of the project. I will take this opportunity to update you on the status of the program: Nearly $89,000 of "402" (100 percent reimbursable) funds have been obligated for inventories by 37 Participants (10 counties, 10 MSA cities and 17 cities less than 5,000 population). 31Participant~ have filed inventory claims which have been or are being processed for payment. Participants that are overdue should file inventory reimbursement claims as soon as possible. Twelve Participants (5 counties, 2 MSA cities and 5 cities less than 5,000 population) have been authorized with SRS funds to furnish and install signs, etc. Estimated, costs are $278,000. Two additional participants are being considered for authorization, thus obligating all of the SRS funds. This is in keeping with the first come - first serve concept. An Equal Opportuni~. Employer
