DISCUSSION
During the Budget Work Session on May 20, 2025, staff received a request for a breakdown of the City’s federal funding.
Staff has attached the Expected FY25-26 Federal Funding by Program (Exhibit 1), including the staff positions charged to each. Exhibit 1 also includes early estimates of potential carryovers from FY24-25, subject to City Council approval on or before October 7, 2025. Exhibit 1 includes amounts totaling $167,207,578 for a combination of contracted services and 55.5 full-time equivalent staff positions.
A second list has been attached to this report detailing Federal Grants for Transportation Projects from Public Works (Exhibit 2). Some of the grants on Exhibit 2 have been awarded and are part of the City’s budget; and other grants are in process, meaning the City has or plans to apply for the grant. Exhibit 2 identifies grant amounts totaling $145,250,727.
There is approximately $1.3 million of overlap between Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2, primarily for the Bristol Bike Lanes from 1st to Civic Center.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommendation. Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 identify funding that could be at risk if the federal government takes action to eliminate the programs and/or earmarks for Santa Ana.
