The amendments were recently approved by LACMTA’s Board and approval by City Council is also required. It should be noted that LACMTA continues to reimburse the City for project costs while the amendments are being processed. LACMTA generally approves only one-year or two- year time extensions for funding agreements facing lapsing funds, so staff will request additional amendments for time extensions as needed to complete the projects.
