BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: October 20, 2015 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Elliot Kampert SUBJECT: Approval of Designation of Authority for FTA Systems User Manager DEPARTMENT: Growth Management BCC DISTRICT: All STATEMENT OF ISSUE: In order to utilize Federal Transit Authority grant funds, it is necessary to enter and maintain data in the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) TEAM and TrAMS data management systems to which access must be specifically authorized by the Board of County Commissioners. BACKGROUND: The Board of County Commissioners initially designated its TEAM users in 2006. Staff changes or duties necessitate the submission of a new Designation of Signature Authority to ensure that the appropriate staff have access to the system. This is an update of User Managers to the existing Designation of Authority. This authority allows creating, modifying and deactivating accounts for employees of Okaloosa County BoCC. This authority also grants access in FTA's TEAM and TrAMS data management and reporting systems. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Chairman to sign the Designation of Authority for FTA Systems User Manager form for TEAM and TrAMS data management and reporting for submission to FTA. RECOMMENDED BY: APPROVED BY: John Hofstad, County Administrator
