In light of the information presented in this report, the City of Colton has chosen to maintain the approved DBE goals of FY 2002-2003 as the proposed DBE goals for the upcoming 2003-2004 year. OVERALL ANNUAL GOAL and PROJECTION OF RACE -NEUTRAL AND RACE -CONSCIOUS PARTICIPATION: The Overall Annual Goal reflects a determination of the level of DBE participation expected absent the effects of discrimination. Colton projects to meet 10.3% of the goal utilizing race -conscious methods, including making efforts to assure that bidding and contract requirements facilitate participation by DBE's and other small businesses, in conformance with new regulatory requirements of 49 CFR Part 26. Colton projects to meet the remaining 1. 1 % of the goal utilizing race -neutral measures, including utilizing contract -specific numeric goals as necessary to achieve the overall DBE goal. The Overall Annual DBE Goal (FFY 2003-2004) for Colton's DOT -assisted contracts shall be 11.4% and is expressed as a percentage of all federally assisted funds which Colton will expend in FHWA-assisted contracts in the forthcoming fiscal year. Further breakdown of the Overall DBE Goal of 11.4% indicates a race -conscious minority participation Goal of 10.3% and a race -neutral minority participation Goal of 1.1%. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND FACILITATION In conformance with Public Participation Regulatory Requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), these goals will be reviewed by minority, women, local business chambers and community organizations within the City of Colton's geographic market area. Additionally, Colton will publish a Public Notice in general circulation media announcing Colton's proposed Overall Annual Goal for the FFY 2003-2004 DOT -assisted contracts. Such Notice will inform the public that the proposed goal and its rational is available for inspection at the City Clerk's office during normal business hours for thirty (30) days following the date of publication of said Notice, and that Colton will accept comments on the goal analysis for forty-five (45) days from the date of the Notice.
