The inventory will include a description of the Capital Asset, date of purchase or lease, purchase price, amount of STIF moneys contributed to the purchase or lease, the source of other funds, the authorized use, the Recipient or Sub-Recipient using the Capital Asset, and the condition of the asset.

(3) Vehicles may be replaced using STIF funding only if:

(a) Recipient holds clear title to the vehicle(s) being replaced. Salvage titles will not be accepted.

(b) The vehicle(s) has met the useful life guidelines established by Agency.

(c) The vehicle has not been previously replaced.

(4) To be eligible to receive discretionary STIF moneys to acquire vehicle(s), a Public Transportation Service Provider shall demonstrate in its grant application and grant agreement that the Recipient or Sub-Recipient who will acquire the Capital Asset has committed to continually use the vehicle for the approved purpose for the useful life of the vehicle(s).

(5) To be eligible to receive discretionary STIF moneys for a real property Capital Asset, such as a transit facility, bus barn, maintenance facility, land, or administration building, a Public Transportation Service Provider shall demonstrate in its grant application one or more of the following:

(a) Recipient or Sub-Recipient ownership of the property upon which the Capital Asset will be located;

(b) Recipient or Sub-Recipient possession of an executed lease agreement for the property location that will be in place for the useful life of the Capital Asset;

(c) Recipient or Sub-Recipient possession of an executed lien on the property for the useful life of the Capital Asset;

(d) In the case of a Project which will utilize property owned by a local city, county or government, an executed intergovernmental agreement with the property owner guaranteeing ongoing use for the duration of the useful life of the Capital Asset; or

(c) Retain the net proceeds from a sale or other disposition of a Capital Asset to reinvest in a future STIF capital Project or return the net proceeds to the Agency. Net proceeds are the asset's original value less disposal proceeds, depreciation, and disposal costs. If non-STIF funds were used in the original purchase, then only the proportion representing STIF contribution to the purchase is subject to this rule.

(A) If the vehicle is registered in the name of a Sub-Recipient receiving the vehicle, and the Sub-Recipient is not a Qualified Entity or Public Transportation Service Provider, then the Qualified Entity or Public Transportation Service Provider must be listed on the vehicle title as the secondary security interest holder.

(B) If the vehicle was purchased with federal funds in addition to STIF moneys, and the federal funding source requires the vehicle to be titled otherwise than provided in this rule, then the federal titling requirements prevail.

(7) A Recipient shall notify the Agency of the sale, transfer or other disposition of a Capital Asset purchased with discretionary STIF moneys and shall report the use of proceeds, if any, from the sale to the Agency.

(8) Capital Assets purchased in whole or part with STIF discretionary moneys must be managed as described in this rule, unless otherwise specified in a written grant agreement approved by the Agency.
