I am an Assistant County Attorney for St. Lucie County, a political subdivision of the State of Florida.
This communication will serve as the requisite opinion of counsel to be filed with the Federal Transit
Administration, United States Department of Transportation, in connection with the application of
St. Lucie County for federal transportation assistance authorized by 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53; title 23,
United States Code; and other federal statutes authorizing activities administered by the Federal
Transit Administration.
St. Lucie County is the designated recipient as defined at 49 U.S.C. 5307(a) (2) to apply for and
receive funding under the Urbanized Area Formula Program.
Citations to laws, regulations, etc. establishing the legal authority of St. Lucie County to carry out
transportation projects for which federal assistance is sought are set forth below:
1. St. Lucie County is authorized under Section 125.01(1)(1), Florida Statutes,to provide and assist
public transportation systems.

no legal impediment to filing an application for the project for which St. Lucie County seeks
assistance. Furthermore, as a result of my examination, I find that there is no pending or
