- AUTHORIZE Executive Director to sign agreement(s) with Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST), pending approval by Counsel, for short-term Measure X loans up to $3,000,000 for payroll and other operating costs, to be repaid upon receipt of Federal Transit Administration funds.

Board approval would authorize the Executive Director to execute future loans under the same terms to help ease similar cash-flow crises. | | . | | | | | | | | | | | 3. | 2.2 | APPROVE the appointment of Matthew S.

The Local Transportation Fund is a designated source of funding for planning, bicycle and pedestrian projects and public transit.
