CONSENT ITEMS. ITEM ONE. OOPS, SORRY, COMMISSIONER, YOU DIDN'T HAVE YOUR NAME UP.
OH, THERE YOU ARE RIGHT THERE.
I CAN SEE IT NOW. YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE RIGHT BUTTON.
SOMETIMES THIS [INAUDIBLE] GO AHEAD.
HOPEFULLY YOUR MIC IS WORKING TOO; WE'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.
[1. MOTION TO APPROVE an Amendment to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 - 2026 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP): Miccosukee Transportation Planning]
IN MY MOST HUMBLE VOICE THAT I MAY USE, TO YOU, MR. CHAIR, MAY I PULL THE ITEM FROM CONSENT, PLEASE? YES, SIR. THANK YOU.WHAT ITEM WOULD THAT BE? THAT IS MOTION TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-26 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) AND THIS IS FOR THE MICCOSUKEE TRIBE OF FLORIDA TRANSPORTATION PLANNING STUDY.
I'M SORRY I WAS HAVING A DEBATE.
I UNDERSTAND. MAY I MR--GO AHEAD, SIR.
THANK YOU. I PULLED THE ITEM TOO I READ IT AND THE SYNCHRONIZATION WAS WHAT I WAS HAVING A LITTLE ISSUE WITH AND IT DID SAY THAT WE WOULD GET THOSE TYPES OF QUESTIONS ANSWERED WHEN WE CAME TO THE MEETING.
SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW FROM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS TRIBAL KIND OF WHERE THIS WORKS ITSELF INTO US. IS THIS SOMETHING WE SHOULD EXPECT TO HAPPEN YEARLY OR IS IT JUST A ONE TIME? YES. THANK YOU.
OKAY, WHO WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER THAT? MR. GIES ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, PETER GIES WITH THE BROWARD METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION.
[00:10:02]
BOARD MEMBER CARN, EXCELLENT QUESTION.THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAME TO US AS A REQUEST FROM THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION.
THERE IS A SEPARATE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM THAT IS CREATED FOR TRIBES CALLED THE TRIBAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
THERE IS A PROJECT THAT IS IN OUR AREA IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTY FOR THE MICCOSUKEE TRIBE AND IN ORDER TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE TRIBAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, WE ARE INCORPORATING THIS PROJECT INTO OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
BECAUSE WE ARE ADDING A PROJECT TO THE TIP, IT REQUIRES BOARD ACTION, BUT AGAIN, THIS IS FOR CONSISTENCY-SAKE.
THANK YOU, I'D LIKE TO KNOW JUST THE RAMIFICATIONS OF EVERYTHING.
IF THIS BOARD WERE TO SAY NO., WHAT WOULD THAT DO? SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF THAT BOARD, IF THIS BOARD WERE TO VOTE NO, IT WOULD ACTUALLY STOP FUNDING GOING TO THE MICCOSUKEE TRIBE FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT BECAUSE AGAIN, FOR CONSISTENCY-SAKE, SINCE IT'S FEDERAL DOLLARS COMING DOWN TO THE REGION, IF THIS BOARD VOTES, NO, THOSE FEDERAL DOLLARS WOULD NOT COME DOWN TO THE REGION AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE MICCOSUKEE TRIBE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.
IT IS A PLANNING PROJECT OUT IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTY.
YEAH, BUT ULTIMATELY THE AUTHORITY OF THE TIP IS ACTUALLY IF THIS BOARD VOTES NO ON ANY PROJECT INTO THE TIP, IT STOPS THE FEDERAL FUNDS.
ABSOLUTELY. IS THE MAYOR OF OAKLAND PARK GOING TO VOTE NO? I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND RAMIFICATIONS.
GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. GOOD QUESTION, TOO.
ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT DONE, WE WILL GO TO ITEM NUMBER ONE, PLEASE.
THIS IS A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DRAFT 2022 BROWARD MPO FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY. NO, SIR, WE HAVE TO PASS THE CONSENT ITEM.
MR. GABRIEL. I THOUGHT WE PASSED IT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT ITEMS. YES, YOU WERE TOO FAST.
[CHUCKLING] OK, MOTION BY MAYOR UDINE, SECOND BY MAYOR COOPER.
OK, EVERYBODY PUSH THEIR BUTTON? WHO WAS THAT? COMMISSIONER SHARIEF OH, YOU'RE LATE, THAT'S WHY.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE VOTING HAD STARTED BEFORE WE COULD GET YOU ADDED IN; I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER SHARIEF. AM I IN? NO, YOU WILL BE IN THE NEXT ONE, THOUGH.
ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE WE HAVE AN APPROVAL.
[1. MOTION TO APPROVE the Draft 2022 Broward MPO Federal and State Legislative Priorities]
LET'S GO NOW TO ITEM ONE, PLEASE.OKAY, ACTION ITEM ONE MOTION TO APPROVE THE DRAFT 2022 BROWARD MPO FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.
THERE WAS MOTION BY MAYOR UDINE.
WHAT HAPPENED? GIVE IT A MINUTE OR TWO.
THERE WE GO. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SHARIEF.
AM I ON? NO, NOW WHAT HAPPENED? OK, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I WOULD LIKE US TO REFER TO THE 2022 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH PAGE IT'S ON, BUT IT SAYS THE INFRASTRUCTURE PAGE.
I GUESS THAT'S THE SECOND PAGE, AND IT TALKS ABOUT VARIOUS EFFORTS THAT THE THAT WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT OR WE ASK OUR LEGISLATORS TO SUPPORT.
WHERE IT SAYS LEGISLATION THAT WILL ASSIST THE MPO WITH BUILDING OR REPLACING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT LINE, DO WE ALL SEE THAT LINE? I WANT TO KNOW IF WE CAN AMEND THIS AND SAY LEGISLATION THAT WILL ASSIST THE MPO WITH BUILDING OR REPLACING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING ROADS, BRIDGES, TUNNELS, WATER AND SEWER TREATMENT SYSTEMS. THIS JUST SAYS SEWER LINES, AND THERE'S MORE TO SEWERS THAN LINES AS WE LEARN IN FORT LAUDERDALE AND WHILE LINES ARE IMPORTANT, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WE COULD ALSO INCLUDE SEWER TREATMENT SYSTEMS, THEN FREIGHT SYSTEM ENHANCEMENTS, CLIMATE MITIGATION AND SO FORTH. BASICALLY, I THINK WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO AS FAR AS ROADWAYS ARE CONCERNED ARE TO INCREASE NEW CAPACITY, AND MAYBE EVEN THAT PHRASE COULD BE ADDED INSTEAD OF JUST LIMITING IT TO SAY ROADS, BRIDGES, TUNNELS SAY OVERALL NEW CAPACITY, WHICH IS IN LINE WITH OUR ONE CENT SALES TAX HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY, WHICH IS TO PROMOTE CAPACITY.
SO THIS WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PARTNER WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN PROVIDING MATCH MONEY AND SO FORTH AS WE'RE TRYING TO IMPROVE THE PATHWAYS OF TRAVEL HERE
[00:15:05]
IN OUR COUNTY.MAYOR TRANTALIS HAS AN AMENDMENT.
IS THERE A SECOND TO THE AMENDMENT? SECOND BY THE VICE CHAIR? IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDMENT? CAN I HAVE A POINT OF CLARIFICATION JUST FOR CAPACITY SIDE OR BECAUSE WE DO BETTER STREETS, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, BIKE LANES, SIDEWALKS, ALL THE REST OF IT. THOSE AREN'T TYPICALLY VIEWED IN TRADITIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AS A CAPACITY PROJECT. SO CAPACITY IS USUALLY JUST ADDING A NEW LANE OF TRAFFIC.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LIMIT OURSELVES ON THAT BY ADDING CAPACITY.
OK, YEAH. I WANTED TO ADD THE WORD TUNNEL IN THERE BECAUSE THAT'S ALSO CAPACITY AND SEWER TREATMENT. TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.
SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEMS, RIGHT? OK. WE'RE BUILDING A TUNNEL IN PEMBROKE PINES? ONE DAY, YOU NEVER KNOW.
OK, DISCUSSION FURTHER ON THAT AMENDMENT? HEARING NONE LET'S--I'M SORRY, MAYOR COOPER, SORRY.
GOOD MORNING, THANK YOU FOR SUGGESTING AND I MIGHT HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO IT.
HI, GOOD MORNING. YOU KNOW, WE ARE BEING FACED WITH CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE BEING OUR ELECTRIC POWER GRID AND I KNOW WE'RE FACING IT IN HALLANDALE BEACH WITH CAPACITY, WITH FP&L AND IF WE CAN'T GET THAT CAPACITY IN, IT'S GOING TO DELAY THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR ELECTRIC FLEETS.
MR. BOARD MEMBER MAYOR, IF YOU WOULD BE KIND TO ADD ALSO AN ELECTRIC GRID.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT LANGUAGE--EV CHARGING--EV CHARGING AND POWER GRID INFRASTRUCTURE.
I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES.
MAYOR TRANTALIS, FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
OK, WOULD THAT INCLUDE UNDERGROUNDING? ALL OF THE ABOVE.
WHATEVER THEY'RE GOING TO DO TO ENHANCE IT, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CAPACITY WE'RE GOING TO FACE CAPACITY ISSUES ENHANCED AND COLLECTIVELY, WE ALL HAVE TO BE ON BOARD TO MAKE SURE IT HAPPENS.
ALL RIGHT AND JUST JUST TO BACK UP THE MAYOR'S STATEMENT, NO, THIS IS GREAT.
NO, HONESTLY, THAT'S A GREAT ADDITION AS WELL AND PAUL CALVARESI IS GOING TO JUST DO A POINT OF CLARIFICATION. I DO WANT TO LET YOU KNOW WE'RE ALREADY WORKING WITH FP&L THROUGH CAROL HENDERSON. SHE'S SHE AND I HAVE BEEN ALREADY STARTING DISCUSSIONS WITH FP&L ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE PUT IN FOR THE EV INFRASTRUCTURE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A MASSIVE BIG INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO TO BE PREPARED FOR THE NEW VEHICLES THAT ARE COMING.
CALVARESI. THANK YOU, CHAIR AND GREG, THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT THE FP&L.
THAT'S WHERE IT'S GOING TO MAKE MY SUGGESTION THAT WE ALSO MIRROR THAT UNDER THE STATE, BECAUSE THE ELECTRIC GRID IS [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU.
THANK YOU AND JUST THE POINT OF INFORMATION IN DISCUSSION WITH FP&L LAST WEEK, I WAS TOLD THAT IN 30 YEARS, EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE UNDERGROUND.
WELL, I'M ONLY TELLING YOU WHAT HE SAID.
[CHUCKLING] YEAH, YEAH. HOW LONG AGO DID THEY MAKE THAT COMMITMENT? 30 YEARS AGO. DON'T KILL THE MESSENGER.
THAT IS ACTUALLY A DESIRED GOAL.
I MEAN, THAT'S GOOD THAT THEY HAVE A DESIRED GOAL.
FIRST OF ALL, ON THE AMENDMENT, CAN WE PUT THAT IN THE MACHINE OR YOU WANT TO DO IT VERBALLY? IT SHOULD BE READY.
YEAH, WE HAVE TO PASS THE AMENDMENT.
THERE WAS A FRIENDLY UNACCEPTED, BUT WE STILL HAVE AN AMENDMENT ON THE FLOOR ALL IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT, PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.
OPPOSE? NOW ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED.
THERE YOU GO. LET'S VOTE ON THAT.
EVERYBODY PUSHED THEIR BUTTON.
[2. MOTION TO APPROVE Targets for the Federally Mandated Performance Measure Areas]
WE ARE NOW ON ITEM TWO, SIR.THIS IS A MOTION TO APPROVE TARGETS FOR THE FEDERALLY MANDATED PERFORMANCE MEASURE AREAS.
OK, I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WELCH AND BY VICE MAYOR COLBOURNE SECOND.
DISCUSSION? GO AHEAD. BOARD PREFER A PRESENTATION OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO WAIVE THAT? THIS IS STANDARDIZED LANGUAGE.
I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN SOME CHANGES, BUT YOU KNOW WE MUST MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU.
ANY DESIRE TO HAVE A PRESENTATION? WE'RE GOOD. THANK YOU, MR. FLAVIEN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT GREAT PRESENTATION.
[00:20:03]
ALL RIGHT, WE'VE SHOWN APPROVAL.EVERYBODY VOTED? ANY BOARD MEMBERS ON ZOOM? HODGKINS. HERE WE GO.
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE SET. NO ONE ONLINE HAS AN OBJECTION, RIGHT? HEARING NONE
[3. MOTION TO APPROVE Mobility Hubs Program Evaluation Criteria]
THIS IS ITEM THREE ACTION ITEM.MOTION TO APPROVE MOBILITY HUBS PROGRAM EVALUATION CRITERIA.
THIS ONE HAS A BRIEF PRESENTATION BEFORE YOU GO TO YOUR VOTE, IF THAT'S OK, BECAUSE THERE IS SOME CRITERIA CHANGES THAT AFFECT EVERYBODY HERE.
WE HAVE A MOTION? MAYOR CARN, SECOND BY MCGEE.
MAYOR CARN, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT? IT IS COMING. MR. BLUE, PLEASE WELCOME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
YOU MIGHT PERHAPS RECALL I CAME BEFORE YOU ON THE NOVEMBER BOARD MEETING TO GO OVER THE MOBILITY HUB'S EVALUATION CRITERIA.
THERE WERE SOME COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM BOTH THE TAC AND THE CAC AND ALSO THIS BOARD, WHICH WE WERE ABLE TO GO BACK AND ADDRESS.
MAINLY ZERO CAR HOUSEHOLDS WERE RENAMED AS TRANSIT DEPENDENT POPULATION, AND THE SPONSOR READINESS WAS REDEFINED.
IF YOU RECALL, THERE WERE SOME CONFUSION OVER SOME BONUS POINTS, SO WE REMOVED THAT TO HOPEFULLY CLARIFY THE SCORING SYSTEM AND AT THIS TIME, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A BOARD MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM.
IF IT IS APPROVED TODAY, THERE WILL BE A WORKSHOP ON MONDAY THE 13TH AT 2:00 P.M.
IT'S A VIRTUAL WORKSHOP AND I WILL BE LEADING THAT AND ESSENTIALLY GOING THROUGH THE ONLINE APPLICATION PROCESS.
IF FOR SOME REASON YOU'RE UNABLE TO ATTEND, IT WILL BE RECORDED AND PUT ONTO THE MPOS WEBSITE SHORTLY AFTER THAT AND WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE AT THIS TIME.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A POWERPOINT ATTACHED TO THIS AS WELL THAT GOES THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION.
YES, THE BACKGROUND WAS THE PREVIOUS POWERPOINT THAT YOU HAD SEEN AT THE LAST MEETING, ALONG WITH THE EVALUATION CHART, WHICH YOU HAD NOT SEEN PREVIOUSLY.
THAT REALLY GETS INTO THE WEEDS OF ALL THE SCORING.
SO MAYOR CARN, YOU AND I WERE BOTH ABSENT, APPARENTLY, ACCORDING TO THE ATTORNEY, WHEN THIS WAS PRESENTED. THAT WAS LAST MONTH.
[CHUCKLING] OK, I'M NOT GOING THERE.
JUST FOR CONSISTENCY, I WANT STAFF TO WALK US THROUGH THIS POWERPOINT PRESENTATION.
WE DON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING FROM ONE MEETING TO THE NEXT, AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO INTELLIGENTLY ADD ON TO MY KNOWLEDGE BASE OF SOMETHING.
WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT IT, I'M TALKING TO FOLKS NOW OVER IN THE [INAUDIBLE] CORRIDOR WHO ARE INTERESTED NOW IN A MOBILITY HUB.
I BROACHED THE IDEA OF SOME NEW DEVELOPMENTS COMING, SO I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THEM BACK. I DON'T BELONG TO THE TAC OR THE CAC, WHATEVER, BUT I WANTED FROM THIS MEETING BE ABLE TO TAKE BACK SOME INTELLIGENCE, SOME LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE TO SPEAK.
SO COULD YOU WALK US THROUGH THIS? ABSOLUTELY, I COULD WALK THROUGH IT.
WITH THE CHAIR'S CONSENT, PLEASE.
OK, SO THE FIRST SLIDE HERE IS I JUST ALWAYS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IS A MOBILITY HUB TO TO YOUR POINT, SIR, JUST TO REMIND EVERYONE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH THE PROGRAM.
AND SO WHAT IT IS IS WE LOOK AT EXISTING TRANSIT ACCESS POINTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE POINTS OF HIGH CONCENTRATION OF EXISTING TRANSIT ACTIVITY, WHETHER THAT BE TRANSFER OR TRIP GENERATION, ALSO IN AREAS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL AND SO THIS PHOTO IS THE DOWNTOWN MOBILITY HUB THAT PERHAPS YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST.
WE'RE VERY PROUD OF IT. IT'S A THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT, AND IT JUST GOES TO SHOW WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH YOUR CITY, STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.
WE INSTALLED PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING, ADA CROSSWALKS, BICYCLE FACILITIES AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS IN THAT AREA.
SO IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK.
IT'S RIGHT ACROSS FROM CITY HALL.
YEAH, IT'S ACROSS FROM CITY HALL.
HOLD ON, CAN YOU GO BACK ONE SECOND, PLEASE? THIS IS THE PRESENTATION WE HAD AT THE LAST MEETING, CORRECT? YES, SIR. THIS IS ACTUALLY ACROSS FROM CITY HALL NEXT TO THE BKT BUS TERMINAL AND EAST OF THE BRIGHT LINE STATION.
THE WHOLE IDEA AT THAT MOBILITY HUB AND IT WAS PROPOSED BY CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE.
I WANT TO SAY ABOUT A DECADE AGO WAS TO TIE THE TRANSPORTATION USES THAT WE KNEW WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE TOGETHER.
SO THAT WAY, WHEN PEDESTRIANS GOT OFF THE DIFFERENT MODES OF TRANSPORTATION, THEY'D BE
[00:25:04]
ABLE TO MOVE AROUND.THE CITY SHUTTLE PROGRAM IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO TIE INTO THAT FACILITY AS WELL.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT WAS PUT INTO THE GROUND, ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE PARTS OF THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT AND THAT WHEN ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OCCURS AT THAT AREA, WHETHER IT'S A JOINT GOVERNMENTAL CENTER OR A SEPARATE USES THAT WILL PROBABLY GO INTO THAT AREA, INCLUDING AN ENTERTAINMENT VENUE, IT'S THE IDEA THAT FOLKS WILL BE ABLE TO GET ON BRIGHT LINE OR COASTAL LINK AND CONNECT FROM THAT OVER TO THE ENTERTAINMENT VENUE AND THEN BACK AROUND.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS ACTUALLY MOST STRIKING ABOUT THE BRIGHT LINE SERVICE HERE IN BROWARD IS YOU GET OUT OF THE TRAIN AND THERE'S NO THERE THERE WHERE IF YOU'RE IN WEST PALM BEACH OR MIAMI, YOU SHOW UP AT SOMETHING AND SO WE ARE TRYING TO CREATE THERE FOR THE SAFE MOBILITY OF PEOPLE IN THAT AREA.
SO MOBILITY HUBS ARE SUPER IMPORTANT AND WE CAN GO INTO A LOT MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT AT A FUTURE DATE IF YOU'D LIKE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE TALKING WITH THE FOLKS ON THE [INAUDIBLE] CORRIDOR. THERE'S SOME OTHER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE BELIEVE ARE COMING IN THE FUTURE IN THAT AREA THAT WOULD PROVIDE FOR, YOU KNOW, MOBILITY TYPE SOLUTIONS. MR. BLUE. YES, SIR.
NEXT SLIDE, SO YES, THE PURPOSE OF THE MOBILITY HAVE FUNDING, IT'S SIMILAR TO [INAUDIBLE] AND PTAP, SOME OF THE PROGRAMS YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH.
IT'S TO PROVIDE MOBILITY HUB MASTER PLAN STUDIES OR DESIGN CONSTRUCTION DOLLARS AND SO WITH THIS AGENDA HERE TODAY, I'D LIKE TO LEAD YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS VERY QUICKLY AND ALSO SHARE THE SCORING CRITERIA.
SO THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE SHOWS A TYPICAL MOBILITY APPLICATION PROCESS.
THE BOARD MEMBER GOVERNMENT WOULD START THEIR APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT, WE ASK SIMILAR TO [INAUDIBLE], THAT THEY HAVE A PRE-APPLICATION MEETING WITH US, JUST A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE ITEMS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED FIT IN THIS PROGRAM AND MAYBE NOT IN ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT THE MPO OFFERS.
ONCE THAT'S DONE, THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED TO US.
WE GO BACK, WE LOOK AT IT, WE EVALUATE IT.
WE PUT TOGETHER A RANKING RECOMMENDATION THAT WILL THEN COME BEFORE THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL AT THAT POINT AND AWARD.
THE MOBILITY HUB EVALUATION CRITERIA IS COMPRISED PRIMARILY OF NETWORK READINESS, MARKET READINESS AND SPONSOR READINESS, AND THESE ALL TIE BACK END TO DOCUMENTATION THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD.
BACK IN 2018, THE HUBS REVISIT DOCUMENTATION AND AS PART OF THAT, WE ALSO TRY TO LINK AND KEEP EVERYTHING IN LINE WITH THEMES OF THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
SO WE SORT OF MARRY THE NETWORK READINESS AND THE MARKET READINESS WITH MOBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY, SAFETY, EQUITY, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND ECONOMIC VITALITY.
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON ONE OF THE NEXT SLIDES HERE.
SO THIS IS THE EVALUATION CRITERIA.
SO YOU CAN SEE, FOR INSTANCE, FOR EQUITY WE LOOK AT, WE HAVE AN EQUITY ASSESSMENT SCORE.
WE LOOK AT THE TRANSIT DEPENDENT POPULATION, WHICH WAS FORMERLY CALLED ZERO-CAR HOUSEHOLDS AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE UP HERE.
ONCE YOU DO YOUR ONLINE APPLICATION, YOU'LL PUT A POINT ON A MAP.
WE LOOK AT A QUARTER MILE AROUND THAT AREA AND THE TOOL BRINGS IN ALL OF THIS AGGREGATE DATA AND SPITS OUT A NUMBER.
NOW THE STUFF TOWARDS THE BOTTOM, THE SPONSOR READINESS, THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
THAT NEEDS TO BE SUPPLIED BY THE APPLICANT AND I WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT IN THIS SLIDE. SO THE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN SPONSOR READINESS ARE DOCUMENTATIONS THAT SHOW COMMUNITY SUPPORT, FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU HAVE LAND USE POLICIES THAT MIRROR WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IN THIS AREA, WE'D LIKE TO SEE THAT ANY PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS OR PROJECTS THAT YOU HAVE GOING ON, PLEASE LET US KNOW AND ALSO ANY LOCAL FUNDING THAT POTENTIALLY THE MEMBER BOARD GOVERNMENT MIGHT BE WILLING TO THROW INTO THE PROJECT.
THE LAST ITEM IS WE DO LOOK AT THE PAST PERFORMANCE DELIVERY OF THE BOARD MEMBER APPLICANT AND SO WE LOOK AT THE LAST THREE YEARS.
IF YOU HAVE NOT DELIVERED ANY PROJECT IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, THERE'S YOU DON'T GET ANY POINTS. IF YOU HAVE, YOU GET TWO POINTS.
HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE FAILED TO DELIVER AN MPO FUNDED PROJECT, YOU WILL RECEIVE NEGATIVE 10 POINTS. IT'S THE ONLY ITEM THAT HAS A PUNITIVE SCORE, BUT WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE WILLING PARTNERS BECAUSE WE'RE USING FEDERAL FUNDS AND THEY GET KIND OF COMPLICATED WHEN YOU GET INTO COMPLIANCE THINGS.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON AND IS WILLING TO DELIVER THE PROJECT, THEY SAY AT THIS POINT.
AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE ESSENTIALLY LOOKING FOR A BOARD ACTION FROM YOU GUYS TODAY TO APPROVE THE CRITERIA SO THAT WE CAN OFFICIALLY LAUNCH THE PROGRAM MONDAY.
[00:30:04]
AS I MENTIONED, WE'LL HAVE THE WORKSHOP AT 2:00 P.M.IT'S ALL DONE VIRTUALLY, AND THOSE LINKS CAN BE FOUND ON THE MPOS WEBSITE UNDER OUR CALENDAR. YOU CAN GO THERE AND REGISTER FOR THAT EVENT OR INDICATE TO YOUR STAFF IF THERE'S SOMEONE FROM YOUR STAFF THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND, THEY CAN.
AGAIN, IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THE MEETING OR FOR WHATEVER REASON, IT WILL BE RECORDED.
WITH THAT, I WOULD TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL.
YES. THANK YOU, MR. BLUE. THE PRESENTATION WAS VERY HELPFUL TO ME, AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW YOU MENTIONED CYCLE ONE. WHEN WILL THE CYCLES REPEAT? HOW OFTEN DO THE CYCLES REPEAT? IT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE A YEARLY CYCLE DEPENDENT ON THE FEDERAL FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVE, BUT IT SHOULD BE IN ALL PRACTICALITY, AN ANNUAL CYCLE.
THE FIRST QUARTER OF EVERY YEAR? YES, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
OK, JUST WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK, SO THE WORD THE ZERO CAR IS NOT GOING TO BE IN THE PUBLIC, ONE IS JUST HERE FOR CLARITY.
YES, IT'S HERE FOR CLARITY. I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT NEW CONSTRUCTION.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
JUST A QUICK QUESTION. DO YOU ALL CONSIDER, I GUESS, IN THE APPLICATIONS, CONSIDER ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING OR PROJECTS THAT ARE HAPPENING AROUND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE DESIRED AREA THAT THE CITY IS LOOKING TO GET, YOU KNOW, FUNDING FOR? DO YOU ALL TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT? YES, SIR, ABSOLUTELY.
OK. SO LIKE A CITY IN NORTHWEST BROWARD WAS BUILDING A DOWNTOWN AND WAS LOOKING TO, YOU KNOW, INCREASE, YOU KNOW, THE, YOU KNOW, EASE OF TRANSPORTATION AROUND THERE, NEW OPPORTUNITIES OR THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT CITY WOULD, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY MAKE KNOWN IN THAT APPLICATION? YES, SIR. ABSOLUTELY.
OH, AWESOME. THANK YOU. I'LL LET MY FRIENDS KNOW BACK IN NORTHWEST BROWARD.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT FOR THE QUESTIONS? LET'S VOTE, MR. CHAIR, JUST FOR THE RECORD.
COMMISSIONER SCUOTTO FROM SUNRISE IS ON VIRTUALLY NOW.
AND SECOND, THE BROWARD COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SENT IN, THEY WANT A CLARIFICATION THAT SURTAX DOLLARS CANNOT BE USED FOR ANY SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE.
HEY, EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THAT? ALL RIGHT, LET'S VOTE.
AND FOR THOSE BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE ON ZOOM, IF YOU'RE OPPOSED, PLEASE SPEAK NOW.
MAYOR TRANTALIS? WHEN WE GET HIS MIC TO BE HOT PLACE, YOU'RE SHOWING, YES.
OK, BRIAN, SO I'M NOT SURE I JUST UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
OBVIOUSLY, THE ONE CENT SALES TAX FOR TRANSPORTATION IS NOT FOR SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT MY REFERENCE WAS WITH REGARD TO THE OTHER ASPECTS IN THAT SENTENCE WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INCREASING CAPACITY FOR ROADWAYS AND BRIDGES AND TUNNELS.
THAT'S ALL I WAS REFERRING TO.
DID THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT? I THINK IT WAS JUST THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD THAT IT COULD, THAT THAT IS INFRASTRUCTURE AND NOT TRANSPORTATION.
SO I LET THEM KNOW I WAS GOING TO APPRIZE THE BOARD.
ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD MOTION PASSES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE NOW ON ITEM FOUR, MR. GABRIEL. ITEM SEVEN, I SHOULD SAY.
[7. Comments from the Chair]
WE'RE NOW FROM COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR.JUST WELCOME. HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

I ALSO WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT COMING INTO THE NEW YEAR, WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE WITH ONE ANOTHER.
WE ARE ALL NEIGHBORS IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM AND SO AS WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR CITIES AND IMPROVE OUR INFRASTRUCTURES AND TRANSPORTATION AND ACCESS TO THINGS IN OUR CITIES, BECAUSE I KNOW MANY OF US HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT WE'RE BUILDING RIGHT NOW THAT WE LOOK TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, WE LOOK TO, WE LOOK TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER AND GROW WITH EACH OTHER.
SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO COLLABORATING WITH YOU ALL IN THE NEW YEAR AND YEAH, SEE YOU AROUND. OK, THANK YOU.

I WANT YOU TO CONTINUE THAT MOMENTUM AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM GOING TO MISS YOU ALL TERRIBLY, BUT I AM ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER OF MY LIFE AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY I HUMBLY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I KNOW IT'S ON, SO I FEEL BAD TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS AFTER ALL THE WARM AND FUZZY COMMENTS, BUT I DO COMMEND ALL OF THOSE THAT HAVE SERVED SO DEDICATED PREVIOUSLY, LIKE COMMISSIONER SHARIEF AND RICHARD BLATTNER, WHO I SAID I HOPE WHEN I GROW UP, I CAN BE JUST LIKE HIM BECAUSE HE AND CHRISTINE HUNSCHOFSKY HAVE REALLY HELD THE TORCH AS WELL.
BUT I KNOW WE'RE NOT MEETING IN JANUARY AND I WOULD BE REMISS STAFF ASKED, THERE IS AN ITEM ON THE FEBRUARY AGENDA ABOUT THE ILA FOR THE IMTECH.
YES. OK AND IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE CITY COULD BE AWARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS PRIOR TO THE MEETING, IF SUCH AS ANNUAL REQUIRED FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS, REIMBURSEMENT PROCESSES AND REQUIRED CERTIFICATIONS, ET CETERA? I KNOW I'M SORRY TO GO ABOUT BUSINESS, BUT YOU KNOW THAT'S MY ROLE AND.
[00:40:01]
ACTUALLY BE HAPPY TO COME OUT AND MEET WITH SHEILA AND THE CITY MANAGER TO GO THROUGH THAT. THERE ARE MEMBER GOVERNMENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY SIGNED ON WE'LL BE, WE'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING SUPPORT SERVICES TO THAT ENTITY.LOVELY AND IF POSSIBLE, IF AVAILABLE, I WOULD LOVE TO SIT IN ON THOSE MEETINGS.

SOME SAID I NEVER MAKE TWO, OK? MR. DIRECTOR? OH, MR. MARTIN? MR. MARTIN, YOU SHOULD BE ON.
FROM THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL, JUST WANT TO SAY HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE.
AS PROBABLY ONE OF THE NEWER MEMBERS OF THE MPO BOARD, IT HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS LEARNING CURVE OVER THE PAST NINE MONTHS OR SO.
AND I, LIKE COMMISSIONER SIMMONS, LOOK FORWARD TO YEAR TWO AND REALLY GETTING THINGS MOVING IN THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL AND AGAIN, AS I PROPOSED WHEN WE GOT HERE BECAUSE WE BORDER SO MANY OF YOU WONDERFUL CITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY.
IT IS DEFINITELY MY INTENT AND HOPE THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE WITH SOME OF THESE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES WITH SOME OF THIS MONEY THAT'S COMING OUT OF D.C.
TO MAKE OUR CITIES AND COUNTY AS A WHOLE A LOT MORE ACCESSIBLE AND EASILY TRAVELED AND BEAUTIFUL. SO AGAIN, PLEASE, I WILL.
PROBABLY, I WILL DO A LOT MORE OUTREACH IN THE COMING YEAR BECAUSE AGAIN, JUST TRYING TO GET MY SEA LEGS UNDER ME AND LEARN THE PROCESS AND WHAT'S HAPPENING.
SO LOOK FOR THE BIG, GENTLE GIANT TO BE OUT AND ABOUT IN BROWARD COUNTY AND PLEASE DON'T LOCK YOUR DOOR WHEN YOU SEE ME COMING KNOCKING BECAUSE I.

ANYBODY ELSE? I THINK MAYOR ZIADE HAS HER HAND RAISED VIRTUALLY.
OK, GO AHEAD. I DO HAVE IT RAISED.
I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING THERE IN PERSON.
BUT AS YOU COULD TELL MY VOICE, IT'S JUST NOT, I'M A LITTLE UNDER THE WEATHER.
I CONGRATULATE MAYOR EUGENE FOR BEING ELECTED COUNTY MAYOR.
I WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN APPOINTED AND OR NEWLY ELECTED TO THEIR POSITIONS AS MAYOR.
I WISH EVERYBODY A FOND FAREWELL THAT HAVE ARE MOVING ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS.
BARBARA SHARIEF, YOU SPECIFICALLY, YOU HAVE BEEN AN AMAZING MENTOR TO ME AND SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR OUR COUNTY AND OUR COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND LASTLY, THANK YOU JUST EVERYBODY.
I SEE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR COMING INTO THIS ORGANIZATION WITH NEW APPOINTEES, AND I'M GLAD. I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE AND I'LL LEARN NEW LAST NAMES AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY AND HEALTHY HOLIDAY.
HAPPY BOXING DAY AND A HAPPY, HAPPY, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.
AND YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY.
YOU REMEMBERED, YET MY HUSBAND FORGOT IT.
NOT GOING THERE. WE HAVE A LOT ON OUR PLATE.
ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE, OUR DAUGHTER'S GETTING MARRIED THIS WEEKEND, SO IT'S JUST A LOT. SO THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
THANK YOU. MR. JAFFE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CHAIR. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF AND THE EXECUTIVE BOARD BOARD FOR ALL THEIR DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT THAT THEY'VE PROVIDED TO THE REST OF US, ALL OF US, AS WELL AS ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY IN THE LAST YEAR.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE TO CONVEY TO US, AND YOU DO IT IN A VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE MANNER AND YOU ANSWER ALL OUR QUESTIONS AND IT MAKES OUR JOB A LOT EASIER.
BUT HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK IN THE LAST YEAR FOR US.
THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER HARTMANN HAS HIS HAND RAISED.
COUNCIL MEMBER HARTMANN? YES, GOOD AFTERNOON ALSO AS A FIRST YEAR I WANT TO EXTEND THANKS IN A NUMBER OF DIRECTIONS. YOU KNOW, FREDDIE [INAUDIBLE] PASSED LAST YEAR AND HE HAD BEEN ON THE MPO REPRESENTING SOUTHWEST RANCHES, I BELIEVE, SINCE THE BEGINNING WHEN THE TOWN WAS FORMED 21 YEARS AGO.
SO I'VE HAD A, YOU KNOW, STEP INTO SOME PRETTY AMAZING SHOES AND, YOU KNOW, MY
[00:45:03]
PARTICIPATION ON THE COUNCIL AND PRIOR AS BEING PART OF THE DRAINAGE COMMITTEE, ET CETERA, FOR THE TOWN'S INFRASTRUCTURE THIS YEAR HAS HELPED ME, I GUESS, TRAIN FOR PLUG IN AND BEGIN WORKING WITH THE MPO STAFF.OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM IN SOUTHWEST RANCHES HAVE BEEN ENGAGED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, BUT YOU KNOW ME BEING THE NEWBIE AND THAT CONDUIT NOW, I HAD A LOT TO LEARN, EVEN THOUGH, LIKE I SAID, I WAS ENGAGED IN THIS TYPE OF DISCUSSIONS IN THE PAST IN SOUTHWEST RANCHES.
BUT WHERE WHERE THIS WHERE THE MPO IS ALSO HELPING US OUT TREMENDOUSLY IS WHEN WE WHEN WE SEPARATED FROM THE COUNTY 20 YEARS AGO, OUR ROADS WERE PATCHWORK OF WHAT DEVELOPERS AND HOMEOWNERS HAD HAD BUILT OVER THE YEARS.
AND THE PENNY SALES TAX IS HELPING US ADDRESS OUR WHAT WAS 25 YEAR PROJECT BASED ON ROAD CONDITION INTO SOMETHING THAT IS MORE FEASIBLE IN GETTING ROADS DONE MORE QUICKLY.
SO THAT'S AS A RESULT OF, YOU KNOW, THE BIGGER PICTURE, WHICH AGAIN, TWO YEARS AGO I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT OTHER THAN I WAS FOR THE PENNY.
YOU KNOW, THE SURTAX, I SHOULD SAY.
SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR HELPING AND AS WELL THESE MEETINGS, YOU KNOW, THE BEGINNING. THEY DIDN'T MEAN A LOT TO ME, BUT NOW THAT I'M UNDERSTANDING THE DETAILS THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH A MUCH BETTER THROUGH AGAIN, HELP FROM STAFF, IT'S BEEN MORE EFFECTIVE FOR ME. SO AGAIN, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND THANK YOU FOR THIS FIRST YEAR.
I LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR AS WELL.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR AS WELL.
[9. Executive Director’s Report]
OK. MR. STUART. ALL RIGHT.I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THIS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD DURING THE HOLIDAYS. I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION WITH THE ORGANIZATION. HONESTLY, WHEN WE GO TO WASHINGTON, D.C.
OR TALLAHASSEE, THE DEDICATION OF YOUR BOARD MEMBERS AND A BOARD THIS LARGE IS ACTUALLY A TREMENDOUS FEAT AND JUST WONDERFUL AND THEY REALLY LOVE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE AS MUCH PARTICIPATION THAT WE DO, ESPECIALLY UP IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
MPOS WERE CREATED BECAUSE THE STATE ROAD BUILDING DEPARTMENTS USED TO BUILD HIGHWAYS ON TOP OF CEMETERIES AND THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE THE MOST AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
AND SO OUR EXISTENCE IS BASED ON MINORITY VOICES BEING HEARD, AND THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA.
WITH THAT, I WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER SHARIEF BOTH WHEN YOU WERE AT THE CITY COMMISSION LEVEL AS WELL AS THE COUNTY AND YOU'RE RIGHT, MAYBE THERE WERE TIMES WE DIDN'T ALWAYS SEE EYE TO EYE, BUT WE ACCOMPLISH THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE TO THE CITIZENS HERE, AND WE'RE ABLE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THAT AND THAT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW, IN CONGRESS, YOU KNOW, THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, TOO.
SO GOOD LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING AGAIN FROM YOU INTO THE FUTURE.
THAT SAID, I WANT TO TEE UP REAL QUICK THE VIDEO FROM THE AWARDS BANQUET.
WE'LL DO THIS ONE FIRST RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK.
THIS IS ACTUALLY AS OF YESTERDAY IN THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH.
WE'RE DOING THE FIRST TACTICAL URBANISM PROJECT WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING IN AND REDOING THE ROADWAY WITH PAINT AND ACTUALLY CREATING A SAFER WALKING ENVIRONMENT.
THIS IS ALSO A DEDICATION TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THERE, TEDDER AND THIS IS GOING TO ALLOW FOR A SAFER WALK TO SCHOOL.
THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS IT IS ACTUALLY PLANNED TO FOLLOW UP WITH A HARD SKATE PROJECT LATER.
SO THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST AREAS OUTSIDE OF FORT LAUDERDALE, WHERE WE'VE ACTUALLY GONE IN AND EXPERIMENTED TO SEE IF WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED WILL WORK WITH SOME PAINT AND THEN AFTERWARDS YOU'LL COME BACK IN AND DO A HARD SCAPE IMPROVEMENT.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED THE PARTNERSHIP HERE.
BROWARD COUNTY TRAFFIC ENGINEERING HAS BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH.
THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO HELP US DO STUDIES AND THE EQUIPMENT AND PUT SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE GREAT JOB IN MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S OUT ON THE ROAD IS SAFE FROM VEHICLES AND SO NOW YOU SEE THE FRUITS OF JUST A SMALL INVESTMENT AND WE HAVE A SECONDARY PROJECT THAT WILL BE ANNOUNCING THAT WE'LL BE DOING SOMETIME THIS NEXT YEAR, THAT WE'LL DO LATER.
THE NEXT VIDEO, PLEASE AND BROWARD SCHOOLS.
SO BASICALLY, THIS WAS THE AWARDS BANQUET WE DID ON NOVEMBER 19TH.
THIS IS A QUICK VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENED.
WE HAD OVER 300 PEOPLE ATTENDING.
WE HAD SOLD OUT THE ENTIRE ROOM.
WE'D LIKE TO THANK THE SPONSORS OF THE CITY OF HOLLYWOOD, THE CRA, OUR PARTNERS AT BYD, WHO YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM AGAIN.
HOPEFULLY SOON WE'RE SETTING UP A TECHNOLOGY EVENT IN PEMBROKE PINES.
[00:50:06]
SO YOU'RE GOING TO BE THIS IS GOING TO PROBABLY BECOME AN ANNUAL EVENT FOR THE AGENCY.CAROL HENDERSON AND OUR ENTIRE TEAM HERE PUT THAT TOGETHER WITH A CONSULTANT, MICHAEL GOODMAN, TO ACTUALLY DO A REALLY SOLID AWARDS BANQUET NEXT YEAR.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO ALSO BE ABLE TO DO IS HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE SIGNIFICANT TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS WE'VE PUT IN AND PROBABLY AWARD THE BEST ONE OF THE YEAR.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A HARD, HARD WAY, AND I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE MR. CALETKA BE THE SELECTOR.
BUT THAT SAID, GO AHEAD AND RUN THE VIDEO CLIP.
IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.
THIS IS A GREAT EVENT TO THINK ABOUT HOW THE ENTIRE REGIONAL LEADERSHIP CAME TOGETHER TO ORGANIZE THE APPROACH TO TRANSPORTATION.
I LOVED THE VIDEOS EXPLAINING TO EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE ABOUT THE VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF BROWARD COUNTY.
I JUST WAS OVERWHELMED BY WHAT MANY PEOPLE PUT TOGETHER.
EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM IS SORT OF IN THE MOOD OF IMPROVING BROWARD COUNTY.
THIS IS AWESOME. I CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR AFTER.
SO AS WE TRAVEL THE MILES OF SUCCESS, THAT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING WE'RE DOING TOGETHER, AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HIGHLIGHTED AT THAT MEETING.
I'VE BEEN DOING THAT WITH THE LEAGUE OF CITIES.
I ALSO TALK TO THE MANAGERS ASSOCIATION.
YESTERDAY TOGETHER IS THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO GET THE 1.2 TRILLION DOLLARS SPENT DOWN HERE IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA, AND WE HAVE TO DO THAT AS A GROUP TOGETHER.
THAT SAID, I ACTUALLY ALSO WANT TO KIND OF REACH OUT AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT OUR CITY SERVICES TEAM IS STARTING TO COMPLETE THE STUDIES.
THE FIRST FOUR STUDIES THAT WE ARE WORKING ON WITH LAUDERHILL, LAUDERDALE LAKES PLANTATION AND ACTUALLY MOVING FORWARD WITH THOSE PROJECTS, YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING SOME RESULTS COMING OUT OF THAT.
WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
OUT OF THOSE THINGS, THE PROJECTS AND CITY SERVICES WILL FILTER UP INTO OUR MTP AND THEN FILTER BACK DOWN INTO OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
SO THAT WAY, PROJECTS ACTUALLY GET THROUGH FUNDING.
THIS IS AN ON TOP OF OUR CECL PROCESS AND OUR MOBILITY HUB PROCESS.
WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO END, BUT WISHING EVERYBODY A HAPPY HOLIDAY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION. THANK YOU, MR. CALVARESI AND MR.
[10. Monthly Federal and State Legislative Reports: https://browardmpo.org/13-who-we-are/13-legislative-priorities]
SALOUM. THANK YOU, CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SO WE'RE GOING TO START OFF WITH A REQUEST FROM THE BOARD FROM LAST MONTH, THERE'S AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM REQUEST ON THE HISTORY OF THE HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION TRUST FUND AND HOW THAT'S FUNDED THROUGH GAS TAX.SO MR. SALOUM IS GOING TO GIVE THAT PRESENTATION.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. I'M RELATIVELY NEW MEMBER OF THE MPO AS WELL, SO IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE NEW FACES. MY NAME IS JOHN SALOUM.
I'M GOING TO BE PRESENTING TODAY ON THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUND.
OK, SO DURING THE LAST BOARD MEETING, AS PART OF OUR FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES PRESENTATION, THERE IS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUND LANGUAGE WITHIN WITHIN THOSE PRIORITIES, SPECIFICALLY OUR ENDORSEMENT OF POSSIBLY INCREASING THE MOTOR FUEL TAX, FEDERAL MOTOR FUEL TAX, SOME BOARD MEMBERS REQUESTED SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THAT AND SO WE'VE PREPARED THIS REPORT TO KIND OF CONTEXTUALIZE THAT ISSUE.
HOWEVER, THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE ABOUT INCREASING THE MOTOR FUEL TAX WAS REMOVED FROM THE APPROVED PRIORITIES.
SO JUST SOME BACKGROUND ON THE BREAKDOWN OF THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUND.
EIGHTY FOUR PERCENT OF THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUNDS REVENUE COMES FROM MOTOR FUEL TAXES, WITH THE MAJORITY COMING FROM REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE TAX.
[00:55:02]
THERE ARE SHORT FUND ISSUES, SOLVENCY ISSUES WITH THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUND, AS IT STANDS CURRENTLY. PREVIOUS LEGISLATION BASICALLY SET UP IN 1993.IT WAS IT WAS SET UP TO FAIL, BASICALLY BECAUSE IT WAS INEVITABLE THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE SHORTFALLS. THE CUMULATIVE PROJECTED SHORTFALL OVER THE NEXT DECADE WOULD BE NEARLY TWO HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS.
IF YOU ADD THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUND AND TRANSIT ACCOUNT OR THE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT AND TRANSIT ACCOUNT TOGETHER, AND YOU SEE THOSE OUTLAYS HERE IN THIS CHART.
SOME OF THE REASONS FOR THE SOLVENCY ISSUES, THE MOTOR FUEL TAX WAS NEVER INDEXED TO INFLATION OR GAS PRICES.
IT WAS LAST SET IN 1993 AND OF COURSE, THERE HAS BEEN INFLATION SINCE THEN.
GAS PRICES HAVE INCREASED AND ALSO FUEL EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS IN AUTOMOBILES HAVE INCREASED SINCE THAT TIME, DRAMATICALLY DRASTICALLY, AS WELL AS ELECTRIC VEHICLE ADOPTION, WHICH LEADS TO LESS CONSUMPTION OF GASOLINE.
NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE BASICALLY THIS CHART SHOWS THAT THE PORTION OF A THE PRICE OF GASOLINE THAT IS MOTOR FUEL TAX HAS DECREASED FROM EFFECTIVELY A 16 PERCENT TAX ON GAS TO NOW 5.4 PERCENT TAX ON GAS.
THIS CHART SHOWS ANOTHER REASON FOR THE SOLVENCY ISSUES, WHICH IS THAT FUEL EFFICIENCY HAS INCREASED AS WELL AS ELECTRIC VEHICLE ADOPTION HAS INCREASED, HAS IMPROVED AND WE SEE THAT BASICALLY VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED HAS INCREASED WHILE THE CONSUMPTION AND PURCHASE OF GASOLINE HAS STAYED RELATIVELY THE SAME SINCE 1993, WHEN THE GAS TAX WAS LAST ADJUSTED.
UM, THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN CONTACT US HERE OR ANY QUESTIONS AT THE MOMENT.
GREAT PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR. GABRIEL? WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR. I'M NOT QUITE READY YET.
OH, I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE.
SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE IF YOU IF THE CHAIR'S PLEASURE, I CAN GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE STATE OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE.
YES. ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD FIRST OR YOU WANT TO COMMENT FIRST.
YES. MAYOR, GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION.
OK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, AND I THINK WHAT HELPED ME OUT, MR. CHAIR, WHAT HAS BEEN THE MPO'S OPINION ABOUT RECOMMENDING AN INCREASE IN THE GAS TAX CONSIDERING HAVING HEARD THIS PRESENTATION, HOW IT SHOWS THAT THE GAS TAX AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL COST OF FUEL HAS SIGNIFICANTLY BEEN DIMINISHED OVER TIME? AND WHAT HAS BEEN OUR OPINION ABOUT RECOMMENDING AN INCREASE OF THE GAS TAX IN ORDER TO MAKE UP THE DEFICIT THAT IS PROJECTED OVER THE NEXT TERM? SO WE MADE RECOMMENDATIONS NOT ONLY THIS BOARD AND THAT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO, NINE YEARS AGO THROUGH THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION ASSOCIATION HERE AT THE STATE. BUT BOTH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS AS WELL HAVE MADE RECOMMENDATIONS TO CONGRESS TO INCREASE THE FEDERAL INDEX AT A MINIMUM TO INDEX THE FEDERAL GAS TAX AND POTENTIALLY RAISE IT EVERY TIME THAT HAS COME UP.
THE GREAT MIDDLE PART OF THE COUNTRY USUALLY OBJECTS TO ANY TYPE OF ADDITIONAL TAXES ON THAT AND IN FACT, RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, IF YOU SAW THOSE NUMBERS, WE'RE ACTUALLY FUNDING MOST TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS NOW OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND AND THE PRINTING PRESS THAT IS IN WASHINGTON, DC.
SO THAT IS HOW THINGS ARE GETTING DONE NOW.
THE GREAT CHANGE OVER TO THE EV NETWORK IS GOING TO PROBABLY BRING A WHOLE OTHER TAX FALL IN WHERE WE'RE HEADED BECAUSE I ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO'VE KNOWN ME FOR A WHILE, I JOKINGLY WILL TELL YOU TO GO BUY AN ESCALADE, LEAVE IT RUNNING IN YOUR YARD, AND THAT'LL PAY FOR SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE WE'RE PUTTING IN.
THAT'S BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, OBVIOUSLY.
BUT THAT SAID, THAT'S HOW WE GET MONEY AND.
BUT TAKING IT OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND AS OPPOSED TO MAKING IT A USER FEE, I MEAN, A PERSON WHO DOESN'T DRIVE A CAR NOW IS STILL BEING TAXED TO PAY FOR ROADWAYS AND SO IT
[01:00:02]
WENT FROM THE USER FEE OF BASICALLY WAS SET UP DURING THE EISENHOWER ADMINISTRATION.TO EVERYBODY PAYS, NO MATTER WHETHER YOU USE IT OR NOT AND THAT SYSTEM THE CONGRESS DOESN'T WANT TO NECESSARILY DEAL WITH.
SO WITH THE VOLATILITY OF GASOLINE, YOU KNOW, THE PRICE OF GASOLINE CAN GO FROM $2 TO $3 IN A MATTER OF A NUMBER OF MONTHS AND PEOPLE JUST ACCEPT THAT.
YEAH, OK AND EVERY WEEK IT GOES UP THREE CENTS, 10 CENTS OR DOWN FIVE CENTS AND IF WE WERE TO ADD TWO CENTS AS A GAS TAX, IT WOULD.
NO ONE WOULD EVEN WOULD EVEN NOTICE.
IF IT WAS ACTUALLY EVEN INDEXED THAT EVERY TIME IT WENT UP, THE INDEX WOULD TAKE IT UP.
BUT THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO DO THAT IF CONGRESS WILL NOT BUDGE ON THAT.
SO GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT AN INDEXING IMPACT WOULD HAVE SAY ON THE PRICE OF GAS IF, LET'S SAY WE HAD INDEXING, IS THAT CPI INDEXING? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? SO, IF INFLATION WENT UP TWO PERCENT, IT WOULD BE TWO PERCENT OF WHATEVER THE CURRENT PRICE OF GAS IS? RIGHT NOW WOULD BE SIX PERCENT.
RIGHT. WELL, THE INFLATION, YEAH.
SO IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE A SIX PERCENT INCREASE ON.
THERE WOULD BE LIKE 12 CENTS OR 14 CENTS, WHATEVER.
I MEAN IS THE REVENUE GENERATED FROM THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL TO, YOU KNOW, DEAL WITH THE TRUST FUND ISSUE RIGHT NOW.
THE TRUST FUND AGAIN IS COMING OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.
IT'S A BIG GIANT PRINTING PRESS, RIGHT? AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
I, YOU KNOW, I'D WELCOME FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE WITH US.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON WORKS WITH THE STATE WIDE MPOS AND AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, OUR NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, WHETHER IT'S THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REGIONAL COUNCILS OR AMPA, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'RE HAVING, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU JOIN INTO THOSE DISCUSSIONS BECAUSE ONE MORE VOICE IS A GOOD THING.
IT'S NOT A BAD THING. THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT. MS. SCHULMAN? THANK YOU. ALL OF THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT.
BUT IN ADDITION, I'M WONDERING IF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION, WITH ITS WILLINGNESS TO MOVE US MORE TOWARDS ELECTRIC VEHICLES, IS ACKNOWLEDGING THIS GAP AND IS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO TAX OR OTHERWISE INCREASE THE TRUST FUNDS THROUGH ELECTRIC REVENUE? AS WELL, [INAUDIBLE] AS PART OF THE 1.2 TRILLION DOLLAR IIJA, THERE IS A FUNDING LINE FOR A STUDY TO LOOK AT USER FEES AND THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
SO THEY ARE THEY ARE EXPLORING THAT.
YEAH, IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME.
I MEAN, UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S NOT AS FAST.
WASHINGTON DOESN'T MOVE AS FAST AS WE WOULD LIKE.
SOMETIMES TALLAHASSEE MOVES A LITTLE TOO FAST.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD MARRY THE TWO TOGETHER, I THINK WE'D HAVE THE PERFECT BALANCE.
MAYOR COOPER? OBSERVATION FROM HAVING VEHICLES IN COLORADO, THEY'RE ACTUALLY MOVING TO A LARGER RATE OF TAG AND DIFFERENT AVENUES OF REGISTERING CARS.
FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK, YOU KNOW, OUR SUBURBAN SORRY GAS GUZZLER.
I GOT TO ADD, I JUST GOT MY ELECTRIC CAR HERE.
SO. OH, OK. BUT THEIR TAGS, THEY'RE ASTRONOMICAL.
IT'S LIKE $500 TO REGISTER CAR ANNUALLY.
SO THERE ARE OTHER WAYS THAT STATES ARE LOOKING AT GENERATING REVENUE.
SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW COUNTIES OR ANYBODY ELSE CAN.
IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, REALLY FASCINATING CITY.
THEY'RE MORPHING INTO OTHER THINGS.
CITY OF AUSTIN IS ACTUALLY ADDING IT TO THE AD VALOREM BASE.
SO IF YOU HAVE A HOUSE AND YOU HAVE ONE CAR, THEY'LL ASK YOU HOW MANY CARS YOU HAVE AND THEY ACTUALLY WILL TAX YOU ADDITIONAL MONEY IF YOU HAVE A VEHICLE, IF YOU HAVE TWO VEHICLES, IF YOU HAVE THREE VEHICLES, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY VEHICLES, IF YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, NON VEHICLE HOUSEHOLD, THEY'LL ACTUALLY TAKE THE TAX OFF.
SO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THAT IS REALLY FASCINATING.
BUT TEXAS HAS DONE SOME REALLY FASCINATING THINGS.
YEAH. ISN'T THAT WHERE YOU WENT TO SCHOOL? YUP.
CARL, PLEASE CAN YOU TURN ON MAYOR TRANTALIS' MIC? OK, SO YES, YOU'RE CORRECT.
THERE ARE SOME STATES THAT DO HAVE AD VALOREM TAXES ON MOTOR VEHICLES, AND THEY PAY A TAX EVERY YEAR AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN FLORIDA, THANK GOD.
BUT THAT WOULD BE A WAY TO ATTACH IT AS A USER FEE SORT OF THING SO THAT SO THAT SOMEHOW IT'S AN ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF REVENUE.
BUT I JUST FIND IT. I JUST FIND IT ODD THAT, YOU KNOW, HERE'S A VERY OBVIOUS WAY TO TRY TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, BUILD THAT FUND NECESSARY IN ORDER TO, YOU KNOW, RECONSTRUCT OUR BRIDGES AND OUR ROADWAYS AND ALL THAT.
EVERYONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE BAD ROADS.
BUT, YOU KNOW, BUT TO PRINT MONEY JUST TO PAY FOR THIS STUFF MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.
[01:05:04]
SO. ALL RIGHT.I GUESS THE POLITICS IN WASHINGTON WOULD SUGGEST OTHERWISE.
SO IT'S EASIER TO BORROW THAN IT IS TO TAX.
AND WHILE YOU SAY THEY'RE NOT THE DRIVERS, THEY COULD BE THE DRIVEN.
YES. OK. MR. MCGEE? THANK YOU.
OK, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. SO A LOT OF THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES HAVE TAX INCENTIVES.
WHAT POT IS NOT GETTING OR IS THAT LOSING FROM? BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER WAY TO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, NOT GIVE THE INCENTIVES TO THAT AND THEN? THE TAX INCENTIVES ARE ACTUALLY COMING OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.
IT IS A GENERAL FUND REDUCTION.
SO, OKAY, SO THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER AVENUE TO TO NOT PAY FOR THOSE THERE.
WELL, AFTER A CERTAIN I MEAN, NOW IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO SOME NUANCE.
SO AFTER THE PRODUCTION OF THIRTY TWO THOUSAND VEHICLES, YOU LOSE THE TAX INCENTIVE.
SO LIKE THE CHEVY VOLT, LOST ITS TAX INCENTIVE, THE TOYOTA PRIUS HAS LOST THE PLUG IN VERSION, LOST THEIR TAX INCENTIVE.
SO ONCE THE CAR BECOMES A MAINSTAY, THEY ACTUALLY LOSE THEIR INCENTIVES.
SOME OF THE TESLAS HAVE LOST THAT AT THIS POINT.
[11. General Counsel’s Report]
GABRIEL? YES.BOARD MEMBERS. HI, ALAN GABRIEL, YOUR GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE BROWARD MPO.
SO I DO A LOT MORE THAN JUST REFLECTIVE IN THIS BOARD MEETING.
YOU DO? SEE AND IT'S AND IT'S INCLUDED.
TRYING TO KEEP HIM CONTROLLED IS THE HARDEST THING I HAVE TO DO BECAUSE AS YOU CAN TELL, HE'S VERY ACTIVE. YOU DO? TRYING IS THE POINT.
WHAT I SHOW IN MY REPORT FOR YOU, THOUGH, IS THOSE ITEMS THAT A GENERAL COMMENT JUST AS TO THOSE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN A MONTH TO MONTH BASIS REGARDING TO THE ORGANIZATION.
IF YOU EVER HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THAT, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO EVER ASK OR RAISE THAT WITH ME OR JUST HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH ME.
ONE THING I DID NOTE IN THE MEETING WAS THAT SOME PEOPLE, WHILE THE VIDEO WAS SHOWING YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT YOUR MICROPHONE BOX.
IF YOU LOOK TO THE BOTTOM LINE, THERE'S A IT SAYS CHANGE VIDEO.
IF YOU PUSH THAT BUTTON, IT'LL ACTUALLY SHOW YOU WHAT'S ON THE SCREENS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO TURN YOUR NECK AND FOR THE NEW MEMBERS.
I APPRECIATE WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE NEW BECAUSE I FEEL THAT WAY EVERY TIME WE WALK IN THIS ROOM AND WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.
AND WE'RE ACTUALLY ADDING MORE TO THE TECHNOLOGY, SO I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE.
AA ALLEN SAYS HE'S TRYING TO CONTROL IT FOR VARIOUS REASONS.
I MEAN, VOTING IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO MANAGE THAT BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO HAVE 25 ACTUAL VOTES PER ITEM.
SO IF WE HAVE MORE MEMBERS THAN TWENTY FIVE, IT'S BY POPULATION AND MEMBERSHIP AS TO WHO'S VOTE DOES COUNT AND WE MANAGE THAT BEHIND THE SCENES, WHICH IS THE REASON THAT WE ASK FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE VIRTUAL IF THEY'RE PARTICIPATING, WHAT THEIR VOTE MIGHT BE AND WE WE TRY AND TRACK IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
SO JUST FOR PURPOSES OF THAT, THAT'S WHY WE ASK YOU THAT YOU AT LEAST PROVIDE US WITH THAT INFORMATION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CERTAINLY HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY.
BE SAFE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL IN 2022.
THANK YOU. MR. FLAVIEN? MR. PAUL FLAVIEN, A NON ACTION ITEM.
[1. 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Amendment Cycle Update]
YEAH, FIRST NON ACTION ITEM IS ACTUALLY THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN AMENDMENT CYCLE THAT SHOULD BE MR. GIES. WHY DO I HAVE MR. FLAVIEN? NO WORRIES, A TYPO.GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS OF THE MPO BOARD PETER GIES WITH THE BROWARD MPO.
WE HAVE A NON ACTION ITEM HERE FOR OUR 2020-2021 MTP AMENDMENT CYCLE AND IF YOU REMEMBER, WE ADOPTED OUR LAST METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN IN DECEMBER OF 2019.
THAT PLAN IS GOOD FOR FIVE YEARS.
SO WHILE THAT PLAN IS GOOD FOR FIVE YEARS, WE DO DO AMENDMENTS ON AN ANNUAL CYCLE BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE UPDATING IT REGULARLY AHEAD OF THE NEXT CYCLE, BECAUSE THAT PLAN IS WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LOOKS TO FOR ALL OF OUR DECISIONS RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION FUNDING.
SO AS PART OF A AS PART OF THE BROWARD MPO RULES, WE HAVE AN ANNUAL CYCLE THAT OPENS, I SHOULD SAY, THAT CLOSES NOVEMBER 10TH OF EACH YEAR.
SO MUNICIPALITIES AND PARTNER AGENCIES THAT HAVE PROJECTS IN THE PLAN CAN SUBMIT AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME MTP AMENDMENTS TO CYCLE.
AS OF NOVEMBER 10TH, WE'VE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF COORDINATION WITH THE PARTNER AGENCIES AND BEFORE THESE PROJECTS ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD TO A FORMAL VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED.
WE WANTED TO BRING THEM BEFORE THE MPO BOARD SO THAT YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO COMMENT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'RE DOING THAT IN A STAFF.
WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO YOU ALL IF WE GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEEK OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE COMING DOWN THE PIKE SO THAT WHEN WE COME UP TO VOTE FOR THEM IN MARCH OF 2022, YOU'LL ACTUALLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION AND HOPEFULLY IT'LL HELP YOU MAKE A DECISION IN MARCH AS WELL.
SO NOW IS THE TIME TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROPOSED MTP AMENDMENTS AND
[01:10:03]
MODIFICATIONS, BECAUSE AFTER TODAY WE ARE GOING TO KIND OF SUBMARINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, WE'RE GOING TO DO TECHNICAL ANALYSES, WE HAVE TO DO FINANCIAL ANALYSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I'LL GO INTO THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.IN ORDER TO PROCESS THE AMENDMENT AND THEN THAT WILL COME BACK TO YOU IN MARCH OF 2022.
SO AS PART OF THE MTP AMENDMENT CYCLE THIS YEAR, WE PROVIDED AN UPDATE TO THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS ON AUGUST 25TH AND ON SEPTEMBER 9TH, WE PRESENTED THE MTP AMENDMENT CYCLE TO THE MPO BOARD, WHICH IS BASICALLY JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE REQUIRE AND HOW WE'RE HANDLING THE MTP AMENDMENT CYCLE THIS YEAR.
WE MET WITH AND RECEIVED MTP AMENDMENT REQUESTS FROM THREE PARTNER AGENCIES PORT EVERGLADES, FLORIDA, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DISTRICT FOUR AND BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT. WE SHOULD HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL THREE OF THOSE AGENCIES IN THE ROOM TODAY OR ONLINE, SO THEY WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. IN ADDITION TO THE PARTNER AGENCY AMENDMENT REQUESTS, BROWARD MPO STAFF IS PROPOSING TWO AMENDMENTS AND TWO MODIFICATIONS.
NOW, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AMENDMENT AND A MODIFICATION IS THAT AN AMENDMENT HAS TO GO FORWARD FOR PUBLIC REVIEW.
WE NEED TO ADVERTISE THE AMENDMENT FORTY FIVE DAYS ON OUR WEBSITE IN NEWSPAPERS AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT FOR MODIFICATIONS.
THOSE ARE TYPICALLY JUST NARRATIVE CHANGES.
THEY DON'T REQUIRE THAT FORMAL COMMENT PERIOD, BUT WE WILL INCLUDE THEM AS PART OF OUR AMENDMENT ADVERTISEMENT.
WE THINK IT'S WORTHWHILE JUST BEING TRANSPARENT WITH THE PUBLIC AND LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT IS BEING MODIFIED. BUT IN THEORY, THOSE MODIFICATIONS DON'T REQUIRE PUBLIC COMMENT OR A VOTE BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY'RE JUST ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE.
BUT WE LIKE TO BE PRETTY THOROUGH HERE AT THE MPO AND JUST ADVERTISE THAT OUT TO EVERYONE. SO ONE THING THAT WE HAVE LEFT TO DO, AS I MENTIONED, IS WE NEED TO REVIEW THE AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS SORT OF IN DEPTH AND PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL THAT WILL COME IN MARCH.
SO TODAY, REALLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING IS JUST THE RAW INFORMATION, RIGHT? WE'VE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF COORDINATION, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO DO OUR TECHNICAL ANALYZES JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN BE FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE AND CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN.
SO THE FIRST PARTNER AGENCY AMENDMENT REQUESTS THAT WE RECEIVED WAS FROM PORT EVERGLADES, AND THIS WAS TO UPDATE THEIR MASTER VISION PLAN PROJECT LIST.
SO AT THE TIME OF THE MTP ADOPTION DECEMBER OF 2019, PORT EVERGLADES STILL HAD THEIR OLD MASTER VISION PLAN.
THEY'VE SINCE UPDATED THEIR MASTER VISION PLAN AND IN ORDER TO BE CONSISTENT, THEY HAVE ASKED FOR THEIR PROJECTS TO BE UPDATED.
NOW, THESE PROJECTS ARE NOT COMPETING DIRECTLY FOR MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDING.
THEY ARE WHAT WE CALL A PARTNER PLAN.
THEY SIT THERE AS A WAY FOR THEM TO GAIN ACCESS TO FEDERAL DISCRETIONARY GRANT FUNDING.
SO WHEN THE PORT GOES OUT AND APPLIES FOR FEDERAL DISCRETIONARY GRANTS, THEY WILL TYPICALLY REFERENCE THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND SAY, HEY, THESE PROJECTS ARE IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
SO THIS IS A WAY FOR US TO GET INTO ALIGNMENT WITH WHAT THE PORT IS DOING AND BECAUSE WE ARE ADDING, WE'RE REPLACING THOSE PROJECTS IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
THEY WILL REQUIRE FORMAL MTP AMENDMENTS.
SO WE WANT THE BOARD TO BE AWARE OF THAT AND IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR BACKUP, YOU WILL SEE THE LIST OF PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING INCLUDED AS PART OF THEIR UPDATED MASTER VISION PLAN.
WE ALSO RECEIVED A PARTNER AGENCY REQUEST FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT FOUR. THEY HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED.
STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM, THAT'S TYPICALLY HOW WE PAY FOR ALL OF OUR MAJOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS HERE, AND THE STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM IS INCLUDED, DISCRETELY WITHIN THE PLAN. IT USED TO BE INCLUDED BY REFERENCE, WHICH BASICALLY JUST MEANT THAT THE PLAN WAS ALWAYS CONSISTENT WITH THE SIS PLAN BECAUSE IT WAS INCLUDED BY REFERENCE.
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION DIRECTED US THAT LOOK, THE MPO BOARD NEEDS TO SEE THESE INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS. SO NOW THAT THEY'RE INCLUDED INDIVIDUALLY WITHIN THE PLAN, WHENEVER THEY WANT TO CHANGE SOMETHING, THEY HAVE TO COME FORWARD WITH AN MTP AMENDMENT AND YOU'LL SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN. THERE ARE THREE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT FOUR SUBMITTED THE FIRST ONE.
THE FIRST TWO ITEMS DEAL DIRECTLY WITH SW 10TH STREET.
YOU'VE HEARD A LOT OF PRESENTATIONS ON THAT PROJECT.
THIS IS REALLY JUST MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF THE FUNDING THAT IS BEING THAT IS COMING DOWN FROM THE STATE GOVERNMENT IS NOW CONSISTENT WITHIN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
NOW THAT PROJECT IS REALLY COMING TO FRUITION, IT'S MOVING INTO THE DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT PHASE SO THAT ONE IS AGAIN MORE OF A CONSISTENCY THING AS WELL.
THE THIRD ITEM, THE I-95 AT GRIFFIN ROAD, WHICH IS NOW WHICH THEY PROPOSED TO CHANGE FROM TO I-95 FROM MIAMI-DADE COUNTY LINE TO NORTH OF GRIFFIN ROAD.
WE'VE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SAID.
LOOK, WE HAVEN'T REALLY RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PROJECT.
THE MPO BOARD HAS NOT SEEN HOW THIS PROJECT HAS CHANGED.
WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO COME BACK WITH THE PRESENTATION TO THE MPO BOARD BEFORE WE SUBMIT THIS AS AN MTP AMENDMENT REQUEST.
SO AS OF NOW, THIS AMENDMENT REQUEST WILL NOT BE PROCESSED THIS CYCLE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT THE MPO BOARD NEEDS TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS DOING AND WHY THIS PROJECT IS MOVING FROM JUST AN INTERCHANGE PROJECT TO NOW BASICALLY A FULL INTERSTATE PROJECT FROM MIAMI-DADE COUNTY LINE TO NORTH OF GRIFFIN ROAD.
THEY DO HAVE GOOD REASONS, BUT AGAIN, WE WANT THE MPO BOARD TO HAVE A CHANCE TO COMMENT ON
[01:15:03]
THAT, SO WE WILL LIKELY WORK WITH THEM NEXT YEAR IN ORDER TO PROCESS THAT AMENDMENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PROPOSED FUNDING.THAT FUNDING DOESN'T NEED TO BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 2031 TO 2035, SO EXPECT THAT PRESENTATION SOMETIME IN THE NEXT YEAR.
SO WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH ROADWAY ID NUMBER TWO AND ROADWAY ID NUMBER SEVEN.
GREG, DID YOU WANT TO JUMP IN? YEAH, JUST REALLY QUICKLY. THE CITIES OF DANIA BEACH, HOLLYWOOD AND HALLANDALE.
THIS ACTUALLY WILL IMPACT YOU, MAYOR.
THIS IS OUR LITTLE SIDEBAR CONVERSATION.
THIS IS PART AND PARCEL OF WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
SO AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE DO THESE MTP AMENDMENT REVIEWS AGAIN.
ANOTHER THING THAT JUMPED OUT AT US IS THAT IT'S ALMOST A $300 MILLION PRICE INCREASE.
SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF THINGS IN THE BACKGROUND THAT ARE GOING ON HERE, AND WE DIDN'T JUST WANT TO INCLUDE IT INTO THE PLAN WITHOUT THE BOARD SEEING MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS PROJECT. SO AGAIN, ROADWAY ID NUMBER 10 WILL NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED FOR AN MTP AMENDMENT. THIS CYCLE WILL ONLY BE THE TWO ABOVE IT.
THE THIRD AND FINAL PARTNER AGENCY MTP AMENDMENT REQUESTS THAT WE RECEIVED WAS FROM BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT, WHICH WAS TO ADD THE WEST BROWARD INTERMODAL CENTER, THE LOCALLY FUNDED PHASES FOR THAT PROJECT TO THE MTP TRANSIT COST FEASIBLE PLAN PLAN.
NOW THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED OUT IN THE CITY OF SUNRISE, OFF OF 136 NEXT TO SAWGRASS.
I'M SORRY, THE BCT BUSSES CURRENTLY PULL INTO THAT LOCATION, AND THEY ARE LOOKING TO BUILD A MORE FORMAL STRUCTURE FOR THEIR BUSSES AND ALSO RESERVE AN ENVELOPE FOR RAIL TRANSIT IN THE FUTURE.
THEY THIS PROJECT IS TECHNICALLY FULLY FUNDED UNDER THE SURTAX, BUT BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE DISCRETIONARY GRANT FUNDING THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, MUCH LIKE PORT EVERGLADES, IF THEY WANT TO PURSUE FEDERAL DISCRETIONARY GRANT FUNDING.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE CONSISTENCY WITH THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN. SO DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE PROJECT DOES HAVE ALL THE FUNDING THERE, IF AND WHEN THEY DO PURSUE THAT FEDERAL GRANT, THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO POINT TO THE MTP AND SHOW THAT PROJECT IS IN THERE.
SO SINCE WE ARE ADDING THAT PROJECT, WE WOULD HAVE TO THEN DO AN MTP AMENDMENT AND WHY WE'RE CONSIDERING IT FOR THIS CYCLE.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF ITEMS STILL THAT WE NEED TO IRON OUT WITH BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT.
THE PROJECT, AS IT STANDS WITHIN THE BUDGET, IS NOT SHOWN AS A LINE ITEM IN THE COUNTY BUDGET AND IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO INCLUDE THE FUNDING FOR OUR METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WE WOULD LIKE THE COUNTY TO SHOW THIS AS A LINE ITEM IN A BUDGET.
IT'S CURRENTLY SHOWN UNDER A TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE BUCKET, AND THEY DO HAVE SOME STAFF DEPARTMENTAL BACKUP THAT SHOWS THAT THE PROJECT IS IN THERE.
BUT WE WOULD LIKE IT TO BE TRANSPARENT AND LIKE IT TO BE SHOWN IN THE COUNTY BUDGET AS A LINE ITEM SO AGAIN THAT WE CAN POINT BACK TO IT AS WELL AND THERE'S THAT CONSISTENCY.
SO AGAIN, MORE OF THAT DUE DILIGENCE THAT WE DO ON THE STAFF END JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS KOSHER, SO TO SPEAK, WHEN WE INCLUDE THESE PROJECTS IN THE PLAN.
I ALSO WANT TO ADD TO THIS PARTICULAR PLAN REQUEST THAT THIS ALSO WILL THEN ALIGN THE COUNTY TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE FEDERAL FUNDS, DISCRETIONARY FUNDS AS WELL.
IT NEEDS TO BE IN OUR PLAN AND THEN AT THAT POINT, THEY'D BE ABLE TO GO AFTER DISCRETIONARY AND THERE'S A LOT OF DISCRETIONARY MONEY WHEN IT COMES TO TRANSIT AND JUST ON THAT NOTE, THE COUNTY IS LOOKING TO PURSUE FEDERAL DISCRETIONARY GRANT FUNDING FOR MANY DIFFERENT PROJECTS, AND WE'VE STARTED CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM AND AS PART OF THE NEXT MTP AMENDMENT CYCLE IN 2022, THEY WILL LIKELY BRING FORWARD A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER.
PROJECTS SO THAT THEY CAN BE READY TO GO, BUT AGAIN, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE PROPERLY SHOWN IN BUDGETS, THAT ALL OF THE CITIES HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO COMMENT ON SOME OF THESE PROJECTS.
WE KNOW THAT BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT IS DOING THEIR COORDINATION, BUT AGAIN, AS PART OF OUR DUE DILIGENCE AS AN MPO, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE BRING IT FORWARD BEFORE THE LARGER BOARD AND THAT YOU ALL HAVE A CHANCE TO SAY YES, THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT.
IF WE PUT IN A FEDERAL DISCRETIONARY GRANT APPLICATION TO THE GOVERNMENT, WE'RE ALL ROWING IN THE SAME DIRECTION BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE AND HENCE WHY THESE PROJECTS NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
FINALLY, THE BROWARD MPO STAFF IS ALSO PROPOSING SOME AMENDMENT.
ONE OF THEM IS TO REMOVE THE MTP ROADWAY ID NUMBER 43 PEMBROKE ROAD FROM SW 160TH TO SW 184TH. THAT PROJECT RECEIVED SURTAX FUNDING, AND A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE AGREED ALL THE PARTNERS IN THE ROOM BROWARD COUNTY, THE CITY OF PEMBROKE PINES AND THE CITY OF MIRAMAR THAT IF THIS PROJECT DOES GET FUNDED WITH SURTAX THAT WE WOULD REMOVE THIS PROJECT FROM THE PLAN TO FREE UP MONEY FOR OTHER PROJECTS.
SO WE'RE SIMPLY JUST ESTABLISHING CONSISTENCY AGAIN WITH THE WITH WHAT WAS AGREED UPON A FEW YEARS AGO, BACK WHEN THE TWO CITIES WERE PURSUING SURTAX FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT.
IN YOUR BACKUP, YOU WILL SEE THAT BOTH THE CITY OF PEMBROKE PINES AND THE CITY OF MIRAMAR HAVE SUBMITTED A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT TO REMOVE THIS PROJECT ONCE AGAIN, CONSISTENT WITH THE DIRECTION THAT WE AGREED UPON.
THE SECOND AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS FOR TRIBAL ROLLING STOCK.
THIS PROJECT CURRENTLY SITS IN AN OUTER TIME BAND FOR THE MTP TRANSIT PLAN.
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SECURE TRANSPORTATION REGIONAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM DOLLARS, WHICH ARE STATE DISCRETIONARY DOLLARS FOR THIS PROJECT, AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO MATCH THOSE DOLLARS. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE PULLING TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS FORWARD TO A MORE
[01:20:02]
RECENT TIME BAND SO THAT AGAIN, WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO TRI RAIL WHEN THEY PURCHASE THAT ROLLING STOCK AS PART OF THE MATCH FOR THE TRIP FUNDING.FINALLY, SOME MTP MODIFICATIONS AGAIN, THESE ARE NARRATIVE UPDATES AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, IN THE MODIFICATIONS TECHNICALLY COULD BE DONE WITHOUT PUBLIC APPROVAL OR PUBLIC COMMENT AND BOARD APPROVAL.
BUT WE LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING TRANSPARENT, SO WE ARE INCORPORATING THE NEW PUBLIC TRANSIT SAFE. PUBLIC TRANSIT AGENCY SAFETY PLAN MEASURE LANGUAGE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND FDOT CENTRAL OFFICE.
THESE ARE PART OF THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES THAT YOU VOTED ON EARLIER TODAY.
SINCE THE PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN DECEMBER 2019, WE JUST NEED TO PULL THAT LANGUAGE FORWARD AND MAKE THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN CONSISTENT WITH THAT.
NEXT, WE ARE GOING TO ADD A SMALL CLARIFICATION TO OUR M.A AND SAFETY PROGRAM, WHERE WE'RE BASICALLY SAYING WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR AUTOMATED CONNECTED ELECTRIC SHARED VEHICLES.
THAT'S WHAT ACES STANDS FOR AND THE REASON WHY WE'RE DOING THAT IS BECAUSE THE NEW IIJA IS PROVIDING A LOT OF FUNDING FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES, CONNECTED VEHICLES, AUTOMATED VEHICLES, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT A MECHANISM IN ORDER TO FUND PROJECTS THAT RELATE TO ACES OR AUTOMATED CONNECTED ELECTRIC SHARED VEHICLES.
SO WE'RE JUST EXPANDING THE DEFINITION OF WHAT WE CAN FUND UNDER THAT PROGRAM.
SO AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, MPO STAFF STILL NEEDS TO REVIEW THE PROJECTS FOR PROGRAM READINESS PLANNING AND POLICY CONSISTENCY, LOOK AT FINANCIAL IMPACTS AND ALSO IMPACTS ON OUR PERFORMANCE MEASURES. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING BASICALLY THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVING FORWARD THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS AND INTO JANUARY, PRIOR TO BRINGING THE FINAL MTP AMENDMENT ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD IN MARCH OF 2022 AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE COORDINATING WITH THE PARTNERS FOR ANY ADDITIONAL PROJECT INFORMATION, PARTICULARLY WITH BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT. WE WILL PUBLISH THE MTP AND MTP AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS ONCE ALL OF THAT TECHNICAL ANALYSIS HAS BEEN COMPLETED TO THE WEBSITE AND IN NEWSPAPERS FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS AND AS I MENTIONED, MARCH 2022, THAT'S WHEN THESE ITEMS WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU. SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE THE PARTNERS ON THE LINE IN CASE YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AGENCY REQUESTS AND I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU, MR. CHAIR. MAYOR COLBOURNE? YES. FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT YES, CITY OF MIRAMAR DOES AGREE WITH THE CHANGES THAT ARE THERE WHEN THIS COMES BACK TO US.
IT WILL SHOW ANY IMPACT ON ON ANY OF THE PROJECTS, ANY OF THE PROJECTS THAT WILL BE MOVED UP AS A RESULT OF THESE BEING TAKEN OUT AND SO FORTH.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. YEAH, ALL THE PROJECTS ARE ON PRIORITY ORDER.
SO BY REMOVING ONE, ALL THE PROJECTS BENEATH IT WILL ESSENTIALLY SLOT UP ONE PRIORITY.
ALL RIGHT. FURTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, REBECCA, ANYBODY VIRTUAL? NOT SURE. OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GREAT REPORT. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE NOW ON ITEM TWO MORE PROJECTS UPDATES.
[2. Mobility Projects Update]
AND MR. MAYOR, THIS IS SOMETHING TO TAKE HOME WITH YOU.OK. FOR ONE OF YOUR BOARD MEMBERS, I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN QUESTIONS WITH THE MPO DOES. HERE'S SOME EXAMPLES.
WELL, I HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS TO TAKE BACK TO THAT PERSON.
OK, GO AHEAD, SIR. MR. QURESHI? ALL RIGHT.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. SO, TODAY, THE MOBILITY TEAM AND I ARE GOING TO PRESENT ON WHERE OUR MOBILITY PROJECTS ARE FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.
MANY OF YOU HAVE HAVE SEEN THIS CHART MANY, MANY TIMES.
THESE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT THE BROWARD MPO IS INVOLVED WITH, WITH THE CORONATION, WITH ENSURING THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE IMPLEMENTED FROM WHAT THE ORIGINAL INTENT IS ALL THE WAY TO COMPLETION.
IF ANYONE EVER HAS ANY QUESTIONS ON WHAT WE DO THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, YOU KNOW, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT MYSELF OR THE TEAM.
THESE ARE OUR MOBILITY PROJECTS AND THE STAGES THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE IN CURRENTLY.
RIGHT NOW, WE ONLY HAVE ONE PROJECT THAT'S PROGRAMED IN THE CURRENTLY APPROVED FTT BURKE PROGRAM. WE HAVE 22 PROJECTS 469 MILLION DOLLARS OF CONSTRUCTION CURRENTLY IN DESIGN.
WE HAVE SEVEN PROJECTS FOR $40 MILLION THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED THIS FISCAL YEAR.
HOWEVER, MANY OF OUR PROJECTS WILL BE MOVING FROM CONSTRUCTION TO COMPLETION BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, AND THEN MANY MORE PROJECTS FROM DESIGN WILL BE MOVING TO CONSTRUCTION BY THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.
I'M JUST GOING TO GO OVER A FEW PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. ONE OF THEM IS OUR AMAZING [INAUDIBLE] ROAD PROJECT, WHERE WE ARE IMPLEMENTING SEVEN FOOT BIKE LANES, SOME MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS.
WE ARE ALSO ENSURING THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY ON THE SOUTH SIDE WITH SIDEWALK, WHERE THERE'S NO SIDEWALK CURRENTLY EXISTING AND WE ARE ADDING A FEW ROUNDABOUTS AT SOME KEY INTERSECTIONS, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT.
ANOTHER PROJECT IS OUR DIKE'S ROAD IN NW 196TH AVENUE PROJECT.
WE'RE GOING TO BE COMPLETING THE BICYCLE GAP ALONG THESE CORRIDORS.
WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING A SIX FOOT BUFFER, BIKE LANES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
[01:25:02]
WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME MINOR ADA IMPROVEMENTS, ALSO SOME SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR.THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN THE CITY OF HOLLYWOOD.
WE ARE WIDENING THE WE ARE WIDENING FOR SANFORD BUFFER BIKING THROUGH THROUGHOUT THIS CORRIDOR AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, THAT'S HOW THE BUFFER IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND THEN THAT IS THE MILLION RESURFACING.
THE LAST PROJECT I'M GOING TO GO OVER TODAY IS [INAUDIBLE] BOULEVARD IN THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL. IN THIS PROJECT, WE ARE ADDING FIVE FOOT BIKE LANES.
IN THIS CORRIDOR, WE ARE ADDING SIDEWALK ON THE EAST SIDE AND WE ARE DOING A WHOLE NETWORK OF PROJECTS IN THOSE IN THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL THAT REVOLVES AROUND [INAUDIBLE] BOULEVARD AND ALONG AND AROUND OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD WITHOUT.
I'M GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO BUFFY SANDERS.
THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE TIGER PORTION.
THIS TIGER, IT WAS A 11.4 MILLION DOLLAR GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM FEDERAL HIGHWAY TO COMPLETE THESE FIVE SEGMENTS WITH THE TOTAL COST OF 21.4 MILLION DOLLARS.
RIGHT NOW, THE PROJECTS ARE ALL IN CONSTRUCTION.
ALL OF THEM WERE SCHEDULED TO BE DONE BY MARCH OF NEXT YEAR, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RIVERLAND ROADS/SW 27TH.
THAT WILL BE DONE AND PRETTY MUCH AUGUST END OF AUGUST EARLY SEPTEMBER AT THE LATEST.
AND THESE ARE JUST SOME PHOTOS OF THE CONSTRUCTION MLK IN POMPANO BEACH.
WE'RE WIDENING, PUTTING IN A SEVEN FOOT BUFFER BIKE LANE POWER LINE.
WE'RE ACTUALLY REPURPOSING THE OUTSIDE LANES FOR A BIKE LANE AND WE'RE PUTTING IN LANDSCAPE ISLANDS WITHIN IT AS WELL.
THAT WAS A SEVEN FOOT BUFFER BIKE LANE.
I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW IF I MENTIONED THAT 31ST AVENUE, IT'S GOING TO BE A FIVE FOOT BIKE LANE. WE'RE PUTTING IN MAST ARMS AS WELL AND THEN RIVERLAND ROAD/27TH.
THE RIVERLAND ROAD SECTION BETWEEN 441 AND DAVEY BOULEVARD WAS GOING TO BE A FOUR FOOT SHARED BUFFER BIKE LANE WITH A ONE FOOT BUFFER FOR THE BUSSES AS WELL.
MAKE SURE THERE'S NO CONFLICT WITH THE BICYCLISTS AND THEN THE GREENWAY IS THE FINAL PROJECT. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S NO PICTURE OF THAT.
CONSTRUCTION STARTED IN THE END OF NOVEMBER AND IT WILL BE FINISHED IN MARCH.
THEN I WILL PASS IT ALONG TO BENJAMIN AND TALK ABOUT THE SEE SLIP COMMENT FIRST.
GO AHEAD. MS. JOHNSON? NOW, GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, AND WE SHARE A TABLE AT THE AWARDS CEREMONY.
BUT I JUST DID WANT TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE POWER LINE PROJECT BECAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE, I KNOW DURING THE CONSTRUCTION WHICH IS STILL GOING ON, THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF FLOODING, ESPECIALLY ON THE EAST SIDE OF POWER LINE, PARTICULARLY FROM COPPINS TO SAMPLE AND POSSIBLY NORTH.
BUT I SEEM TO USE THAT ROADWAY A LOT.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF FLOODING WHEN WE HAVE RAIN EVENTS, AND I JUST WONDER, IS A PART OF THIS GOING TO, WELL, THE CULMINATION BE TAKING CARE OF THAT KIND OF SITUATION.
THE TIGER IS NOT PART OF THAT PROJECT.
I CAN RELATE THAT MESSAGE TO FDLT.
THE SECTION OF PIPELINE THAT WE'RE DOING IS THE SECTION BETWEEN COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S IT MIGHT BE PART OF THE MLK BOULEVARD, SO I'LL MAKE SURE I CAN RELATE THE MESSAGE TO.
I'M NOT SURE WHICH PIECE IS INVOLVED, BUT I MEAN, IT'S REALLY BAD TO THE POINT WHERE THERE WERE CARS THAT WERE OVERTAKEN WITH THE FLOODING.
WE WILL DEFINITELY RELAY THAT OUT [INAUDIBLE].
ACTUALLY, IT'S A DIFFERENT PROJECT THAN THE TIGER GRANT, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS AND THEN I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT AS WELL.
SO GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS BENJAMIN RESTREPO, AND I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE SEA SLIP PROGRAM A LITTLE BIT, SO HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS ARE READY TO SLIP INTO C SLIP.
I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE THE MOMENT.
SO CYCLE SIX OF C SLIP PROGRAM CLOSED THIS YEAR IN NOVEMBER AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE CURRENTLY VETTING OUT THE PROJECTS AND WE SHOULD BE SENDING OUT THE AWARD LETTERS SOON IN THE EARLY 2022.
SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ONE PROJECT THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION, WHICH A TOTAL OF $12 MILLION.
[01:30:04]
WE ALSO HAVE TWENTY SEVEN PROJECTS THAT ARE IN DESIGN THAT WOULD TOTAL OVER 59 MILLION DOLLARS. RIGHT NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, WE DIDN'T.WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED IN THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROJECTS THAT ARE PROGRAMED FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.
SO NOW I'M GOING TO GET INTO A FEW OF THE EXAMPLES OF WHAT PROJECTS WE HAVE IN DESIGN RIGHT NOW THAT WE'LL BE MOVING INTO CONSTRUCTION SOON.
THE FIRST ONE IS SW 148TH AVENUE AT BASS CREEK ROAD.
SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS INSTALLING A ROUNDABOUT AT THE INTERSECTION OF BASS CREEK ROAD AND SW 148TH AVENUE.
WE WILL BE ALSO INSTALLING A SHARED USE PATH ON THE EAST SIDE OF SW 148TH AVENUE AND THEN WE ALSO WILL BE ADDING A RIGHT TURN LANE THAT LEADS INTO THE SCHOOL THAT YOU CAN SEE AT THE KIND OF TOP LEFT CORNER OF THIS IMAGE.
ANOTHER C SLIP PROJECT THAT IS CURRENTLY IN DESIGN IS IN PARKLAND, WHICH IS HERE ON HOLMBERG ROAD. WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS RESURFACING THE ROADWAY AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO RESTREPO UP THE ROADWAY ALSO TO ADD BICYCLE LANES AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PEDESTRIAN ENHANCEMENTS TO RE TIMING THE SIGNALS AT SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION SO THAT WE CAN A LOT MORE TIME FOR THE PEDESTRIANS ACROSS THE ROADWAY.
THIS IS ANOTHER PROJECT HERE ON WESTON ROAD.
WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS ACTUALLY A ROADWAY WIDENING WHERE WE'RE GOING TO WIDEN SPECIFICALLY FOR BICYCLE LANES HERE ON WESTON ROAD BETWEEN STATE ROAD 84 AND I THINK IT'S IN [INAUDIBLE]. SO YEAH, A LOT OF GOOD THINGS GOING IN AND SEE SLIP A LOT OF COMPLETE STREETS, IDEAS AND FOLLOWING OUR BROWARD MPO'S COMPLETE STREETS GUIDELINES.
SO BEFORE WE OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS, I'M GOING TO HAND IT BACK TO FAISAL IS GOING TO PRESENT ON SOMETHING REAL QUICK.
SO WITH THIS MOBILITY PROJECT'S PRESENTATION, THERE WAS ALSO A ANOTHER ATTACHMENT THAT WAS PROVIDED WITH THIS ITEM THAT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THESE AMAZING LOOKING TABLES THAT PROVIDE YOU ALL THE MILESTONES FOR ANY AND ALL MPO FUNDED PROJECTS.
AS YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER, BEFORE LAST YEAR, WE USED TO SHOW THEM ON OUR PRESENTATIONS.
HOWEVER, NOW WE PROVIDE AS AN ATTACHMENT, SO IT'S VERY EASY FOR ANYONE TO TO REFERENCE THEM AND THEN AND THEN PLEASE SEE OUR CONTACT INFORMATION UP HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE PROJECTS.
FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ANY ONE OF US.
THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? REBECCA, ANY VIRTUAL QUESTIONS? NO, CHAIR.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. WE'RE ON DEMONSTRATION MPOS INTERACTIVE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT
[3. Demonstration of the MPO's Interactive Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Tool]
PROGRAM NOW. THIS IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING WE ARE GETTING AWARDS ON AS WELL.WHO'S PRESENTING THIS? THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING. BEAUTIFUL CHAIR MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER RESTREPO.
I'M PART OF THE SYSTEMS PLANNING TEAM HERE AT THE BROWARD MPO STAFF, AND I'M GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU ON SOMETHING THAT IS CALLED OUR INTERACTIVE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TOOL.
FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STICKING AROUND FOR THIS.
I WILL TRY TO MAKE THIS AS FUN AS POSSIBLE AND WE'LL GET THROUGH IT TOGETHER.
SO FIRST UP, A TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, I'M SURE YOU ALL ARE AWARE IT'S ONE OF OUR CORE PRODUCTS THAT WE ADOPT EVERY YEAR.
IT'S OUR FUNDING COMMITMENT FOR THE NEXT FIVE FISCAL YEARS, AND IT INCLUDES PROJECTS, ANYTHING FROM SMALL SIDEWALKS TO VERY LARGE INTERCHANGES.
HEY, CHRISTOPHER, HOW MUCH IS EVERY YEAR WORTH? OH GOSH, WELL, I WILL GET TO THAT IN THE NEXT SLIDE.
SO FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, 2022 THROUGH 2026, WE HAVE ABOUT 452 PROJECTS IN THERE.
THAT EQUATES TO ABOUT 5.1 BILLION DOLLARS AND SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS A LOT OF MONEY AND A LOT OF PROJECTS YOU NEED TO SIFT THROUGH AND WHAT WE DO EVERY YEAR IS WE PUT TOGETHER A BIG PDF WITH A LOT OF PAGES THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CASUALLY GO THROUGH.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO LOOK FOR PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY THROUGH A SEARCH ENGINE, THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO BE PRESENTING TO YOU TODAY AND HOW YOU CAN DO THAT TO GET IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER AND EXCITING.
SO FIRST UP, THESE ARE THE LINKS THAT YOU CAN DO TO ACCESS ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT SOURCES.
THE FIRST IS OUR TIP WEB PAGE THAT HOLDS EVERYTHING FROM OUR INTERACTIVE TIP TOOL TO OUR TIP DOCUMENT AND ALSO A LOT OF OTHER GOOD SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION THERE.
THE NEXT IS THE PDF ITSELF, SO YOU CAN CLICK THAT LINK SPECIFICALLY AND IT'LL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO OUR PDF AND THEN BELOW THAT IS OUR INTERACTIVE TIP, WHICH IS OUR WHICH IS WHAT I WILL BE DEMONSTRATING IN A FEW SHORT MINUTES.
SOME OF THE NEW FEATURES THAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT BEFORE WE GO INTO THE DEMONSTRATION IS WE'VE DONE A WHOLE OVERHAUL OF THIS TOOL AND THE FIRST THING THAT YOU'LL NOTICE IF YOU'VE USED IT BEFORE IS THAT IT HAS A MUCH FASTER RESPONSE TIME BEFORE YOU'D HAVE TO LIKE DELAY A LITTLE BIT BEFORE YOU GOT INTO THE PROJECTS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
[01:35:02]
NOW IT HAPPENS VERY, VERY QUICKLY.IT'S A LARGER DISPLAY FOR PROJECT INFORMATION, SO WHERE YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCESS THE WHOLE VIEW PAGE OF THE WEB PAGE INSTEAD OF A SMALL LITTLE BOX THAT IT USED TO BE BEFORE.
ALSO, YOU CAN TOGGLE BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT TYPES.
THIS IS A GREAT NEW FEATURE BECAUSE BEFORE YOU COULD ONLY ACCESS ONE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, NOW YOU CAN LOOK AT THE CURRENT AND THEN THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S TIP.
SO IF YOU WANT TO DO A COMPARISON YOURSELF, YOU COULD DO IT THAT WAY.
YOU CAN ALSO SEARCH BY MUNICIPALITY IF YOU NOTICE IN FRONT OF YOU.
IF YOU'RE REPRESENTING A MUNICIPALITY YOURSELF, THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE PACKAGE IN FRONT OF YOU. WELL, THESE ARE OUR INDIVIDUALIZED MUNICIPALITY REPORTS THAT WE PRODUCE FROM THE TIP DATA ITSELF AND THE ONE IN FRONT OF YOU SHOULD BE YOUR CORRESPONDING MUNICIPALITY.
SO THROUGH OUR DEMONSTRATION, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW YOU CAN ACCESS A LIVE FILE OF THAT INSTEAD OF A PDF.
YOU CAN ALSO SEARCH BY FUNDING PROGRAM.
THAT'S EVERYTHING FROM OUR SEE SLIP PROGRAM, A COMPLETE STREET MASTER PLAN, MOBILITY HUBS, ROADWAY TRANSIT AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY.
YOU CAN ALSO SEARCH BASED OFF OF LEAD AGENCY.
SO WHETHER IT'S FDOT, WHO'S LEADING THE PROJECT OR ANY OF THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES OR [INAUDIBLE], THE PORT, ALL OF THAT IS THERE AND YOU CAN PRODUCE REPORTS BASED OFF OF THAT. ALSO, IF YOU NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS IN YOUR MUNICIPALITY BUT YOU DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO TALK ABOUT ROAD RESURFACING ON I-95, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO OMIT THAT PROJECT FROM YOUR REPORT, AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW YOU CAN DO THAT SO THAT IT DOESN'T INFLATE ALL OF THE OVERALL NUMBERS.
AND LASTLY, YEAH, MUNICIPALITY, WE'RE GOOD.
OK, SO RIGHT HERE, THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION THAT I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH IN THE DEMONSTRATION. I HAVE IT IN YOUR BACKUPS IN CASE YOU WANTED A PRINT OUT YOURSELF EXACTLY HOW TO GET YOUR OWN MUNICIPAL REPORTS.
SO THAT'S THERE FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT AND THAT'S MY CONTACT INFORMATION IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE ACCESSING THE DOCUMENT ITSELF OR RUN INTO ANY ISSUES DOING YOUR OWN REPORTS.
SO I'M GOING TO SET UP MY LAPTOP REAL QUICK.
OK, AND I'M GOING TO ASK OUR CONTROL TO SWITCH ME OVER.
GREAT. OK, SO WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL SHOW YOU HOW YOU CAN GET TO THE INTERACTIVE TIP TOOL FROM OUR WEB PAGE AND SO WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU, IF YOU HAVE IT ON YOUR SCREEN SO YOU CAN LOOK BEHIND YOU.
THIS IS OUR BROWARDMPO.ORG WEB PAGE AND TO ACCESS THE TOOL, YOU WILL HOVER OVER WHERE IT SAYS WHAT WE DO.
UNDER HERE, THERE'S A SECTION CALLED CORE PRODUCTS.
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND CLICK. COME ON, BUDDY.
THERE IT IS, GREAT. OK, A LITTLE INTERNET DELAY.
SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO THIS IS OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WEB PAGE AND HERE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION THAT DESCRIBES WHAT IT IS AND THEN BELOW IT IS OUR IMPORTANT LINKS BOX.
HERE IS THE FIRST LINK THAT IS OUR PDF THAT INCLUDES ALL OF OUR PROJECTS, ALL 450 SOMETHING THAT I SHARED WITH YOU BEFORE.
YOU CAN DO THAT, OR YOU CAN SCROLL DOWN BELOW WHERE THERE IS A HIGHLIGHT THAT SAYS INTERACTIVE TIP TOOL.
BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL THE PROCESSES OF THAT AND YOU WANT TO GO STRAIGHT INTO THE MUNICIPAL REPORTS BELOW THAT, WE ALSO HAVE OUR MUNICIPAL REPORTS RIGHT HERE IN TABULAR FORMAT, AND THEY RANGE FROM COCONUT CREEK ALL THE WAY TO WILTON MANORS.
GREAT STUFF. SO LET'S CLICK ON THE INTERACTIVE TIP TOOL.
IT'LL POP UP A NEW WEB PAGE, AND THIS IS WHAT OUR TOOL LOOKS LIKE AS OUR LANDING PAGE.
IT'S AN OVERVIEW. AGAIN, JUST STANDARD INFORMATION TO TELL YOU WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT AND SOME CONTACT INFORMATION IF YOU RUN INTO ANY TROUBLE.
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO TO DO A SEARCH IS HIGHLIGHT OVER THE TAB THAT SAYS DATABASE SEARCH.
HERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT ATTRIBUTES THAT YOU CAN SELECT FROM TO NARROW YOUR SEARCH DOWN TO EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING FROM MUNICIPALITY FUNDING PROGRAM, COMPONENT GROUP, LEAD AGENCY, TRANSPORTATION MODE, TYPE OF WORK, FUNDING, SOURCE PHASE OF WORK AND PROGRAM YEAR.
TO THE RIGHT, AT THE TOP RIGHT, YOU'LL SEE SELECT DATABASE HERE.
THE CORRECT THE CURRENTLY SELECTED DATABASE IS OUR FISCAL YEAR 2022 THROUGH 2026 TIP.
IF YOU DROP THE ARROW DOWN, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S ANOTHER DATABASE TO SEARCH FROM.
THAT IS THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 THROUGH 2025 TIP.
WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT'S LAST YEAR'S TIP.
SO IF YOU WANT TO DO A SEARCH OF LAST YEAR, YOU CAN SELECT THAT ONE.
IT'LL REFRESH AND THEN IT'LL BE SEARCHABLE.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP 2022 FOR NOW.
I'M GOING TO PUT A POINT OF CLARIFICATION ON THAT.
THE REASON WHY LAST YEAR'S IS THAT EVERY YEAR WE ADD A NEW FIFTH YEAR.
SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK FOR A PROJECT THAT HAD BEEN FUNDED AND YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE ONCE IT'S FUNDED AND UNDER CONSTRUCTION, IT LEAVES THE TIP.
[01:40:02]
SO THERE'S A WHOLE HISTORY THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE LOOKING BACK AT AS WELL.GO AHEAD. THANK YOU AND VERY GOOD POINT.
THE ONE THAT I FIND THE MOST USEFUL IS BY MUNICIPALITY.
SO BY SELECTING THE DROPDOWN MENU, YOU'LL HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT CHOICES THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM AND THESE ARE ALL BASED OFF OF A GIS FILE THAT SHOWS THE JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARY OF EACH MUNICIPALITY AND AGENCIES.
SO YOU'LL SEE THAT FDOT IS THERE, AND IF YOU SCROLL DOWN, YOU'LL NOTICE SFRTA AS WELL.
THOSE ARE AREAS THAT HAVE PROJECT SPECIFIC WE'VE LOCATED TO THEIR OFFICES SO THAT THEY DON'T POPULATE IN YOUR REPORTS.
WE'LL STICK WITH COCONUT CREEK BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST ONE UP, AND WHAT THAT HAS DONE IS TO NARROW THE SEARCH FROM OVER 450 PROJECTS TO NOW JUST 14 PROJECTS.
SO YOU HAVE A LOT SMALLER LIST TO GO THROUGH THAT YOU WANT TO SEE.
I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO REMOVE PROJECTS FROM THIS LIST, AND THAT IS DONE BY GOING HOVERING ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, WHERE THE COLUMN THAT SAYS OMIT IS BY CLICKING THE BOX NEXT TO OR ON THE PROJECT, IT'LL OMIT ITSELF FROM THE REPORT THAT YOU ARE PRODUCING.
SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE STATE ROADS SEVEN, US 441 ON THAT PROJECT, YOU CAN CLICK THAT OMIT BUTTON AND IT WON'T SHOW UP IN THE REPORT THAT YOU WILL PRODUCE.
I'M GOING TO OMIT IT JUST SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IT COMES OUT TO DOWNLOAD A DOWNLOADABLE PDF VERSION OF THIS. WHAT YOU'LL DO IS YOU'LL SELECT THE BUTTON THAT SAYS GET REPORT.
IT'LL PROP IT UP A NEW SCREEN THAT'LL GIVE YOU A COUPLE OPTIONS FOR YOU TO SELECT FROM.
THE FIRST IS CHOOSE FROM THE OPTIONS BELOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR REPORT.
YOU CAN INCLUDE EVERYTHING FROM A COVER PAGE, A TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION, A FIVE YEAR SUMMARY, THREE YEAR SUMMARY AND APPENDICES.
THE THINGS THAT MIGHT BE THE MOST BENEFICIAL.
IT COULD BE A COVER PAGE SO THAT YOU HAVE THAT ON THERE OR ANY OF THESE FIVE YEAR SUMMARIES. BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT ALL THAT AND YOU JUST WANT THE PROJECTS THEMSELVES, YOU CANNOT SELECT ANY OF THOSE BOXES AND GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM PORTION, WHICH IS HOW THE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO BE ORGANIZED FOR YOUR REPORT.
AND WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS YOU HAVE PROJECT DETAIL BY SECTION AND PROJECT NAME WITH MAPS.
MAPS ARE IMPORTANT. WE WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE PROJECTS ARE.
YOU CAN ALSO HAVE PROJECT DETAIL BY SECTION AND PROJECT NUMBER WITH MAP.
SO YOU'RE GOING YOU'RE ORGANIZING BASED OFF A NAME OR NUMBER, OR YOU CAN DO THEM BASED OFF OF CITIES.
SO PROJECT DETAIL BY CITY AND PROJECT NUMBER WITH MAPS.
OR IF YOU DECIDE YOU'D RATHER HAVE A MORE COMPRESSED REPORT AND YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY MAPS, THERE'S TWO OPTIONS BELOW THAT SAY PROJECT DETAIL BY SECTION AND PROJECT NAME WITHOUT MAPS OR PROJECT DETAIL BY SECTION AND PROJECT NUMBER WITHOUT MAPS.
I'M GOING TO SELECT THE MAP ONE SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT OVERALL FIELD LOOKS LIKE, SO WE'RE GOING TO DO PROJECT DETAIL BY SECTION AND PROJECT NAME WITH MAPS.
ONCE YOU'VE SELECTED THE VERSION OF THE REPORT THAT YOU WANT, YOU WILL CLICK THE GENERATE BUTTON. IT'LL WORK A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN NOW YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DOWNLOAD THE REPORT BY CLICKING THIS BUTTON.
IT'LL THEN PRODUCE A REPORT ON A NEW WEB PAGE SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO RUIN THE WORK THAT YOU'VE ALREADY DONE AND HERE YOU CAN SELECT DOWNLOAD BASED OFF OF THE WEB BROWSER THAT YOU'RE USING AND HAVE THAT REPORT FOR YOU TO USE.
SO WHAT DO THE REPORTS LOOK LIKE? THEY'RE SECTIONED BY DIFFERENT SECTIONS TO THE FIRST SECTION.
HERE IS HIGHWAY AND THEN ONCE YOU GET PAST THAT INITIAL HEADER OF A PAGE FOR THE SECTIONS, YOU GO INTO INDIVIDUALIZED PROJECT PAGE REPORTS AND ON HERE YOU'LL HAVE EVERYTHING FROM OUR PROJECT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, WHICH IS WHAT WE CALL AN FN, FINANCIAL NUMBER.
THIS PROJECT IS INTERSECTION LIGHTING, RETROFIT IMPROVEMENT, AND THEN ALL THE OTHER DETAILS THAT YOU NEED FROM THE PROJECT.
WHO'S THE LEAD AGENCY? IF THERE WERE LIMITS TO THIS PROJECT, THEY WOULD APPEAR HERE.
THE LENGTH OF THE PROJECT, THE PHASES, THE FUNDING SOURCES, THE FISCAL YEARS OF WHEN THE PROJECT MONEY IS GOING TO BE PROGRAMED AND THEN THE TOTALS ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND THEN BELOW THAT YOU HAVE PRIOR YEAR COST FUTURE YEAR COST.
IF THERE ARE ANY TOTAL PROJECT COSTS AND ANY EXTRA DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT IS DOWN BELOW, AND THEN YOU CAN PLAY AROUND AND DO ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH THIS.
ALSO, IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DO JUST MUNICIPALITY AGAIN, JUST PLAY WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT ATTRIBUTES THAT WE HAVE HERE.
IF YOU WANT IT BY TRANSPORTATION MODE OR FUNDING PROGRAM OR COMPONENT GROUP, YOU CAN DO THAT AND THE COOL THING ABOUT THIS IS YOU CAN STACK ON YOUR SEARCHES.
SO LET'S SEE MUNICIPALITY, RIGHT? THERE'S 14 PROJECTS HERE BASED OFF OF COCONUT CREEK.
IF WE ONLY WANTED TO LOOK AT, LET'S SEE IF THAT'S GOOD, A FUNDING PROGRAM, IF WE ONLY WANTED TO LOOK AT C SLIP PROJECTS, IT'LL REFINE THAT SEARCH EVEN MORE.
AND THERE'S C SLIP PROJECTS IN COCONUT CREEK, SO THAT WAS A BAD ONE.
SO MAYBE WE CAN DO A ROADWAY AND THERE'S NONE IN THERE, EITHER.
WHAT DOES COCONUT CREEK HAVE? COMPLETE STREET MASTER PLAN.
THAT'S GOT TO BE ONE. OK, WE'VE GOT THREE COMPLETE STREET MASTER PLAN PROJECTS THERE.
[01:45:06]
SO YEAH, PLAY AROUND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.MY CONTACT INFORMATION IS ON THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION THERE AND I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THIS AND YOUR FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS REALLY APPRECIATIVE.
WE ACTUALLY DID ALL THESE NEW ENHANCEMENTS BASED OFF OF YOUR FEEDBACK, THE CSC AND THE TASB. SO WE WANT TO MAKE THIS AS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU AS IT IS FOR US.
I'M GOING TO BRING THIS BACK TO ALL MY COMMISSIONERS.
THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THIS? THEY'LL HAVE ACCESS TO THIS, TOO, YOU KNOW, IN THAT WAY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HEAR WHAT THEY DO NOTHING, OK.
I THINK THERE MIGHT BE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT.
COLBOURNE? THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THIS IS AN AWESOME REPORT.
I REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN HERE NINE YEARS ON THIS BOARD, AND I REMEMBER SITTING HERE AND THINKING, WELL, CAN WE GET SOMETHING THAT SHOWS OUR CITY AND WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? AND THIS HAS COME A LONG WAY AND THIS IS AWESOME.
THANK YOU. ALSO, I JUST FORGOT TO MENTION WE HAVE ANOTHER TAB CALLED INTERACTIVE PROJECT MAP. SO IF YOU CLICK THAT, YOU CAN THEN USE THE MAP TO SEARCH FOR PROJECTS BY ZOOMING IN AND OUT AND THEN SELECTING OR HIGHLIGHTING ANY OF THE PROJECTS THEMSELVES AND THEN PRODUCING REPORTS THAT WAY.
THANK YOU. GREAT PRESENTATION.
[ FINANCIAL REPORTS - for information purposes]
HOW ABOUT FINANCIAL REPORTS? WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE IN SOUND POSITION, SO WE'RE HAPPY WITH THAT.IT'S GOOD AND MORE MONEY COMING.
AND WE TALK ABOUT CORRESPONDENCE?
[ CORRESPONDENCE - no discussion ]
I WAS GOING TO SAY WE COLLECTED ABOUT 79 PERCENT OF OUR LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS.SO THOSE CITIES THAT HAVE SENT IN THAT CONTRIBUTION ALREADY, WE APPRECIATE IT.
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT THAT AND SEE IF YOUR CITIES HASN'T CONTRIBUTED THIS YEAR, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ENCOURAGE YOUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO DO.
WE SEND OUT A REMINDER WE CAN DO THAT.
HOW ABOUT CORRESPONDENCE? JUST GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE HAS BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE AGENCIES, AND WE PUT THAT INFORMATION IN THERE FOR YOU TO SEE.
I HAVE NO DISCUSSION ABOUT ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS.
[ ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS ]
I JUST VERY QUICKLY, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS MEETING DATES, DON'T FORGET THE 22 MEETING DATES. I'M GOING TO ASK VELMA HURTADO TO SEND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU A MEETING RESERVATION DATE FOR THE BOARD MEETING.SO IT'S ON YOUR CALENDARS AND SEND IT TO YOUR AIDES AS WELL.
BASICALLY, OUR INTERACTIVE CONVERSATION WITH SPEAKER BROUWER, THE UPDATES AND THE STATISTICS, WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD.
AS FAR AS ONLINE ENGAGEMENT STATISTICS, IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF DIP, BUT THAT HAD TO DO WITH WITH THE WEBSITE AND NOW THE WEBSITE'S BACK UP AND RUNNING.
THAT WEBSITE IS BEING REDONE AS WE SPEAK TO EVEN MORE ENHANCE ITS ABILITIES.
I WANT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THE SAFE STREETS SUMMIT, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO EVER ATTENDED, THAT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE IN MIAMI THIS YEAR.
IT'S GOING TO BE DOWNTOWN AT THE INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18TH FROM SEVEN FORTY FIVE A.M.
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING, LET US KNOW YOUR TICKETS ARE USUALLY COMPLIMENTARY.
SO THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR IT WILL BE IN HALLANDALE BEACH AT THE DIPLOMAT HOTEL, AND IT WILL ACTUALLY BE TWO DAYS AND WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO COMBINE THE AWARDS BANQUET AS WELL.
HOLLYWOOD SORRY, SORRY, SORRY.
I WENT TO GO VISIT MY GREAT UNCLE AND HALLANDALE, AND WE DROVE TO THE DIPLOMAT FOR DINNER EVERY TWO WEEKS.
SO IN MY HEAD, SORRY, THEY'RE CLOSE TOGETHER.
THEY START WITH AGE. THANK YOU, SIR.
THE ATTORNEY HAS INFORMED ME THEY BOTH BEGIN WITH AGE.
SO RIGHT. THANK YOU, THOUGH, FOR THAT, ELLEN.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES WHEN WE'RE HOSTING THE SAFE STREET SUMMIT THAT IT WILL BE THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2023.
SO WE'RE REAL EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
BUT 2022 IS NUMBER NINE AND IT'S WITH OUR PARTNERS IN MIAMI-DADE.
IF YOU CAN GET FOLKS TO ATTEND, THAT'S GREAT.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO ATTEND, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU THERE.
IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO NETWORK WITH THE MIAMI-DADE OFFICIALS AS WELL BECAUSE THEY WILL ALL BE THERE AS WELL.
ALL RIGHT AND I THINK THAT'S IT AND THE NEXT MEETING IS IN FEBRUARY.
NOT IN JANUARY OR NOT DECEMBER 9TH.
THAT'S DECEMBER 9TH BECAUSE WE'VE HAD IT AND THE BOARD ENGAGEMENT FORUM MR. CALETKA. CAN YOU DO THAT WHILE DRINKING? THAT'S THE QUESTION. I'M NOT THAT GOOD.
NO. JANUARY 13TH, WHICH WOULD NORMALLY BE OUR MEETING DAY.
WE DO AN ANNUAL BOARD ENGAGEMENT FORUM WHERE WE MAKE PRESENTATIONS TRYING TO MAKE THEM INTERESTING FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS.
IF YOU COME A LITTLE EARLY, THERE WILL BE SOME BREAKFAST FOR YOU AND THERE WILL ALSO BE A GRAB AND GO LUNCH FOR THE NEW MEMBERS.
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE VERY END OF IT TO MINGLE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND GET TO KNOW EACH
[01:50:01]
OTHER. THE GOALS, WHY YOU RAN FOR OFFICE OR WERE APPOINTED TO OFFICE BECAUSE THOSE ARE ALWAYS VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS TO HAVE WITH ONE ANOTHER.SO I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE.
OK? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
OK. I DIDN'T HEAR WHO THAT WAS, BUT ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? GREAT MEETING. THANKS A LOT.
THANK YOU. EVERYBODY HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
BE SAFE.
