FM# 452227-1 SWRS – SYSTEM RUMBLE STRIPS-NORTHERN DISTRICT 4 ]

AND THERE'S A VARIETY OF PROJECTS HERE LISTED.

AND WE HAVE DR.

CHEN HERE. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE AMENDMENTS AND THEY WERE SUBMITTED BY DOT.

YES. IT'S ALSO ARE REQUESTED BY THE F DOT.

EXCELLENT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE PROJECTS BEING PROPOSED?

[00:10:05]

MR. [INAUDIBLE]. OKAY.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

SO I JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE PROJECTS.

THE WEST LAKE DRIVE AND SEVENTH STREET.

WHERE ARE THEY LOCATED? I THINK I FOUND WHERE THEY WERE.

BUT WHEN I LOOKED AT THE.

THE BACKUP DOCUMENTS, IT DOESN'T STATE THE LOCATIONS OF THESE.

AND I DON'T HAVE THE BRIDGE NUMBERS AND I CAN'T CROSS REFERENCE THE LOCATION.

SO IF SOMEBODY'S ABLE TO TELL US WHERE THESE FOUR BRIDGE REBUILDS OR I MEAN, THESE ARE STUDIES FOR REBUILDS, I GUESS, BUT WHERE ARE THEY LOCATED? OH, THOSE PROJECTS ARE LOCATED IN FORT LAUDERDALE.

THOSE ARE ALL SYSTEM PROJECTS HERE.

I DON'T HAVE A MAP.

YOU HAVE MY I CAN SHOW IT MAYBE AFTER THE MEETING.

I CAN SHOW IT ON THE MAP.

SO, I MEAN, BECAUSE I HAVE QUESTIONS, I THINK.

SO YOU SAY FORT LAUDERDALE.

I MEAN, SO YOU NARROWED ME DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE.

I MEAN, IS THIS IN THE LOS SOLIS AREA? NO, I CAN TELL YOU, TOM, THEY'RE IN HARBOR ISLES.

SO IF YOU TAKE 17 STREET OVER TO THE BEACH, OVER THE CAUSEWAY, ON THE LEFT IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD THERE.

AND IT'S THERE KIND OF MAIN STREET THROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEY HAVE A BUNCH OF BRIDGES.

IT'S ALL FINGER ISLES.

SO IT IS A BRIDGE.

I KNOW ONE OF THE WESTLAKE BRIDGE PROJECTS WAS A SURTAX PROJECT PREVIOUSLY, BUT THEY FOUND MORE ISSUES WITH IT.

SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY APPLIED TO DOT FOR GRANT FUNDING FOR THOSE BRIDGES AND THEY RECEIVED IT.

AND THEN THIS IS THE PROCESS OF DOT ADDING THEM TO THE TIP.

AND THEN THE CORDOVA ROAD ONE IS IF YOU'RE STILL ON 17TH STREET BUT MORE WEST, AND IF YOU TURN LEFT UP CORDOVA, IT'S FURTHER UP THAT STREET ALMOST TOWARDS THE END OF CORDOVA, ANOTHER LITTLE BRIDGE INTO AN AISLES.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THAT'S WHAT I'M ACTUALLY RATHER INTERESTED IN IS HOW DID THIS I'M ASSUMING THIS IS THE CITY THAT MADE THE APPLICATION TO DOT FOR THIS THESE PROJECTS.

WHAT WAS THE PROCESS TO TO APPLY TO THE DOT? I'M INTERESTED IN IT.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA AND I THINK OTHER CITIES MAY HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES.

I KNOW I DO, BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THAT PROCESS WAS IN ORDER TO GET ON TO DOT FOR APPROVAL TO GET AN AMENDMENT TO THE TIP.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

AFTER THE STAFF, [INAUDIBLE].

TAKE THE QUESTION BACK TO THE PROJECT MANAGER AND WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU.

SO HOW AM I GOING TO WHY? NOBODY'S HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS.

COME ON UP. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS MARIA HYMAS AND THE MPO LIAISON FROM F DOT DISTRICT FOUR MR. GOOD. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SABRINA AUBRY, SHE'S THE PROJECT MANAGER.

SHE HAD A SCHEDULING CONFLICT, BUT WITH THE BRIDGE NUMBERS WE CAN FIND THE SPECIFIC LOCATIONS AND THEN I CAN LOOK UP THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR HOW TO APPLY FOR THE BRIDGE REPLACEMENTS AND THE BRIDGE REPAIRS ITSELF, AND I CAN SEND OVER THAT TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I CAN GET THE EMAIL FROM THE MPO STAFF AND REPLY TO THAT QUESTION AFTER THIS MEETING.

SO IF YOU'RE SAYING A CRITERIA, I MEAN, WAS THIS JUST SOMETHING WHERE THE CITY CAME TO IF DOT SAID KNOCK.

HI. I'D LIKE TO GET SOME FUNDING FOR BRIDGES AND DUTIES.

SURE. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT AND THEN IF YOU CAN DO THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER WILL HELP YOU.

IS THAT HOW THAT WAS DONE OR IS THERE LIKE A PROGRAM, A TOOL OR.

SO THIS IS PART OF A SPECIFIC PROGRAM FOR BRIDGE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENTS THAT CAME DOWN FROM CENTRAL OFFICE AND IT WAS PASSED DOWN IN CERTAIN CITIES APPLIED AND BASED ON THE CRITERIA, WHICH I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFICS ON THE CRITERIA, THOSE LOCATIONS WERE GIVEN THE FUNDING AVAILABLE AND IT WAS BROKEN DOWN. BUT THE SPECIFICS, I WOULD HAVE TO GET BACK WITH THE PROJECT MANAGER AND GET THAT FOR YOU.

MR.GOOD. OKAY. SO I AM VERY INTERESTED BECAUSE WHEN YOU SAY IT WAS PASSED DOWN, I DON'T RECALL SEEING ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED MY PARTICULAR CITY TO PARTICIPATE.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE MY FOCUS IS A LITTLE BIT, IS HOW WOULD THIS LITTLE CITY KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROGRAM THAT THEY COULD PLUG INTO TO HELP THEM WITH SOME OF THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS? SO I WOULD I KNOW YOU ALL SAYING, YEAH, WE'LL GET IT BACK TO YOU, BUT CAN YOU REALLY GET IT BACK TO ME? YES, I'LL AS THE LIAISON, I'LL MAKE SURE TO PASS ON TO THE TEAM.

[00:15:01]

I'M ACTUALLY IN A CHAT WITH THEM AND I'LL LET THEM KNOW AND PASS IT ON RIGHT NOW.

SO THAT WAY, AFTER THE MEETING, I COULD PROBABLY HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU.

MR. GOOD. THANK YOU.

NO PROBLEM. I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

ANYTIME. AND TOM, I CAN ALSO CONNECT YOU WITH THE FOLKS IN OUR PUBLIC WORKS.

IT WAS THE BRIDGE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM THAT THEY APPLIED THROUGH AND KIND OF WHAT THEIR PROCESS WAS TO HELP YOU WITH THAT.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM.

BRITNEY. THANK YOU.

I'M WONDERING IF ANYBODY CAN SPEAK TO THE GENERAL FUND VEHICLE CHARGING PROGRAM.

YOU CAN FUND THE DEFINITION ON THE ATTACHMENT, THE FIRST PAGE.

OKAY. DOES IT ALSO LIST LIKE WHAT LEVEL OF CHARGERS AND WHICH COMPANY THEY'RE USING FOR THE CHARGERS THAT THEY'RE INSTALLING? I THINK THE STAFF ON THE LINE.

SO. REBECCA.

NO. RESPOND TO THEM.

DO YOU HAVE A NAME ON A LIST? OKAY.

I CAN RESPOND TO THAT.

GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M GREG SINGER.

I'M WITH DISTRICT FOUR, THE OFFICE OF MORAL DEVELOPMENT, AND I'VE BEEN LEADING THE EV MASTERPLAN IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS.

WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH IN DISTRICT FOUR TO GET TWO SEGMENTS AS PART OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

ONE OF THE SEGMENTS IS IN BROWARD COUNTY.

IT'S ALONG I-75 AT THE INDIAN RESERVATION.

THE LEVEL OF CHARGERS WILL BE DC FAST CHARGERS, MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, 160 KILOWATT HOUR CAPACITY OR HIGHER.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO FOUR CHARGING PLUGS PER UNIT PER STATION LOCATION.

OKAY. AND DID YOU WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE.

NO, WE I WORK DIRECTLY WITH CENTRAL OFFICE.

WHO WAS LEADING THIS EFFORT.

WHAT CENTRAL OFFICE IS DOING AT THIS POINT IS TO FINDING THE REQUEST FOR APPLICATION TO BE PUBLISHED AT THE FDP WEBSITE FOR INTERESTED PARTIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SELECTION PROCESS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE CHARGERS.

SO AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYBODY THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH AS FAR AS OPERATORS OR CONSULTANT OR INTERESTED PARTIES.

IT'S JUST SUPPOSED TO KIND OF READ THE ADVERTISEMENT AND RESPOND TO THE REQUESTS FOR APPLICATIONS TO CENTRAL OFFICE FOR CONSIDERATION AND SELECTION.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON.

BILL HAS A COMMENT.

I'VE GOT ONE COMMENT, SO I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT THE MPO STAFF IS UNUSUALLY UNPREPARED ON THESE ITEMS. THESE ARE AMENDMENTS THAT DDOT HAS REQUESTED US TO MAKE.

THESE WERE NOT PROJECTS THAT RAN THROUGH US.

THESE ARE DOT PROJECTS, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE ASKING DOT STAFF TO COME UP AND RESPOND TO THESE QUESTIONS.

I WILL MAKE ONE ADDITIONAL COMMENT, THOUGH, ON THE EV.

THIS IS LIKE THE VERY FIRST START HIGH LEVEL.

THIS IS LIKE GET A CHARGER EVERY 50 MILES.

SO THAT'S WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S A LOT MORE TO COME OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS AS PART OF OUR 2050 PLAN UPDATE, WE'RE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING A MASTER PLAN.

WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE CITIES TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES HERE BECAUSE THERE IS MORE MONEY COMING BEYOND JUST WHAT THIS INITIAL LEVEL IS. SO THIS IS REALLY FOCUSED ON THE INTERSTATES AND JUST PROVIDING A VERY MINIMAL LEVEL OF CHARGING FOR WHAT I WOULD CALL REGIONAL TRAVEL.

SO MORE TO COME FOR SURE.

AND IS FDOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THOSE OVER TIME? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO CENTRAL OFFICE AT THE PRIVATE SECTOR WILL IMPLEMENT, OPERATE AND MAINTAIN.

OKAY. RIGHT.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE CITIES AS WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION OF WHAT IS A LONG TERM LOOK LIKE WITH WITH THESE WHO OPERATES, WHO MAINTAINS IT, PRIVATE VENDORS, ETC..

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE STRINGS LIKE EVERY FEDERAL DOLLAR WE RECEIVE.

YEAH, I'D BE INTERESTED TO HEAR THAT CONVERSATION.

SO, PETER, GUYS AND THE EV TEAM, RIGHT AS WE START TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR 2050 PLAN, THERE IS A LOT MORE TO COME.

SO IF YOU GIVE US A LITTLE BE A LITTLE PATIENT.

WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED WITH THAT.

BUT EV IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE KEY AREAS WE'LL BE LOOKING AT.

OKAY. THANK YOU, CHAIR.

THANK YOU, ANDREW.

YES, JUST ON THE STATEWIDE, UH, RUMBLE STRIPS.

[00:20:03]

JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION.

ARE THESE NEW STRIPS OR ARE THESE EXISTING AND SOME OF THEM ARE BEING REPLACED OR A COMBINATION OF THINGS? HI, REBECCA.

COULD YOU CHECK ONLINE? RIGHT. IT'S ONLINE.

HELLO? YES. BRAD SALISBURY, PROJECT MANAGER AT DOT.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, SIR.

YES. YEAH.

THESE ARE NEW RUMBLE STRIPS.

OKAY. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

AND THEN JUST WANTED TO THANK OUR PARTNERS AT F DOT FOR THE ELECTRICAL READING CHARGERS, YOU KNOW, LEADING THAT, UH, LEADING THAT EFFORT AND GETTING THOSE, UH, YOU KNOW, ON THE SCHEDULE HERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS? OKAY, SEEING NONE.

WE'LL MOVE THIS ITEM TO A VOTE.

THE MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO THE FISCAL 23 TO 27 TYPE FOR THE PROJECTS LISTED IN THIS ITEM. MOTION WAS MADE BY LUIS, SECONDED BY RICHARD.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS MOTION? SEEING NONE. THEN I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE ON THE ITEM.

MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[3. MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE the Broward MPO’s Public Participation Plan (PPP)]

OUR NEXT ACTION ITEM IS A MOTION TO RECOMMEND THE MPO APPROVE THE BROWARD MPOS PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN.

WE HAVE CAROL HENDERSON.

NO. OH, THERE'S NO PRESENTATION.

OKAY. NO PRESENTATION.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM BEFORE WE CALL IT TO A VOTE? NO. THEN I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION.

MOTION IS MADE BY MAQSOOD.

SECOND BY SARA.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS MOTION? NO. THEN I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE, PLEASE.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. THE MOTION PASSES ON THAT ITEM, AND OUR FINAL ACTION ITEM IS A MOTION TO RECOMMEND MPO ENDORSE THE TRANSPORTATION RESILIENCY

[4. MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO ENDORSE the Transportation Resiliency Framework]

FRAMEWORK. AND WE HAVE LEVI [INAUDIBLE] HERE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION.

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. LEVI [INAUUDIBLE].

I'M A SENIOR PLANNER HERE AT THE BROWARD MPO, AND I'M HERE TODAY TO SHARE WITH YOU THE TRANSPORTATION RESILIENCY FRAMEWORK THAT WE DEVELOPED HERE AND HOUSE AND ASK FOR YOUR ENDORSEMENT TO APPLY THE FRAMEWORK OF THE PROTOTYPE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT PRESENTATION THAN WHAT'S IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE.

THE AGENDA PACKAGE WAS PRETTY PACKED WITH INFORMATION.

WE WANT TO BE A LITTLE QUICKER, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THERE.

AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE TECH MEMO FROM THE CONSULTANT AND THE AGENDA PACKAGE AS WELL THAT GOES INTO REAL DETAIL.

SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS.

BUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

ALL RIGHT. SO THE AGENDA WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH, THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY, THE PROCESS, AND THEN STEP BY STEP THROUGH THE METHODOLOGY AND THEN TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS.

SO WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE? WE REALLY WANTED TO DEVELOP A FRAMEWORK THAT COULD BE APPLIED CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDORS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT RESILIENCY PROJECTS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING THE SAME METHODOLOGY, REGARDLESS OF OWNERSHIP, REGARDLESS OF LOCATION.

SO IN 2015 AND 2016, THE MPO DID TWO SEPARATE VULNERABILITY STUDIES TO IDENTIFY CORRIDORS THAT WERE VULNERABLE TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

FROM THAT, WE GOT SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 300 CORRIDORS.

THOSE WERE RANKED AND THEN PUT INTO THE 2045 MTP.

EIGHT OF THEM MADE IT INTO THE 25 2045 MTP.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU IN JUST A SECOND WHICH ONE MADE IT IN.

BUT WE WERE BUILDING UP ON THE PREVIOUS WORK.

IT WAS A 12 WORK STUDY AGAIN, AT FLEMING AND THE PROCESS WE DEVELOPED A TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP WITH FDOT DISTRICT FOR THE MUNICIPALITIES SELF WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY, BROWARD COUNTY AND A FEW OTHER PARTICIPANTS AS WELL.

THESE ARE THE EIGHT CORRIDORS THAT ARE IN THE 2045 MTP.

BY NO MEANS IS THAT A COMPLETE PICTURE OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, BUT THESE WERE THE ONES THAT RANK THE HIGHEST.

[00:25:01]

AND THIS IS WHERE WE WANT TO START APPLYING THE PROTOTYPE, MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS AND THEN EXPAND OUT FROM THERE.

SO THE FRAMEWORK ITSELF IS A NINE STEP PROCESS.

WE WANTED IT TO BE HOLISTIC AND NOT JUST LOOK AT A SINGLE CORRIDOR.

SO WE ACTUALLY LOOK OUTSIDE OF THE CORRIDOR.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WHATEVER WE'RE PROPOSING IS NOT CAUSING ADDITIONAL ISSUES IN ITSELF AND THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING HOLISTICALLY EVERYTHING IN THE AREA.

WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL, WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOCIOECONOMIC.

WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS, EVERYTHING.

SO WHAT'S BEING IMPACTED AND WHAT IMPACT WILL THE FIXES HAVE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING EVERYTHING.

OUR INITIAL STEP IS GOING TO BE TO SELECT THE STRESSOR.

WE'RE LOOKING AT PRECIPITATION, STORM SURGE, SEA LEVEL RISE AND TEMPERATURE.

PROGRAMMATIC WAS SOMETHING THAT CAME UP AND WE WILL LOOK AT THAT KIND OF THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE NINE STEP PROCESS, REALLY IN STEP EIGHT.

BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DATA.

WE'RE LOOKING AT CAPABILITIES OF STAFF, WE'RE TALKING THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

THEY WANT THIS. SO ANYTHING THAT COULD STAND IN THE WAY THAT'S NOT RELATED DIRECTLY TO AN IMPROVEMENT.

FROM THERE, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT WEATHER RISK.

SO WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING? SO WITH STORM SURGE, IS IT FLOODING IS AN EROSION.

IT'S A TIDAL EFFECT, OVERTOPPING.

WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING FROM THE RISK? AND WE ESTABLISH THE IMPACT.

LIKE I SAID, WE WANT TO BE HOLISTIC.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS THE SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACT AND THE COMMUNITY IMPACT FOR THE PHYSICAL.

IS IT TEMPORARY OR IS IT PERMANENT? THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS WE WANT TO ESTABLISH.

THEN WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS IF A ROAD IS FLOODING ONCE A YEAR, BUT IF IT'S FLOODING ONCE A MONTH AND YOU HAVE A HANDICAPPED PERSON WHO CAN'T GET TO A BUS TO GET TO WORK, TO GET TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGER IMPACTS THERE? AND WE'RE STARTING HERE TO KIND OF BUILD OUT AND EXPAND OUR STAKEHOLDER LIST THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

FOLLOWING THAT, WE LOOK AT PROXY INDICATORS.

SO WHAT? WHAT DO WE KNOW THAT'S HAPPENING? WHAT ARE THE LOCAL PEOPLE SAY? WE CAN LOOK AT THINGS ON A MAP.

WE CAN LOOK AT THINGS IN A MODEL, BUT IT DOESN'T TELL THE FULL STORY.

SO THE PROXY INDICATORS IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO THE LOCAL OFFICIALS, WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS, REALLY KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING AND GET A WHOLE MORE HOLISTIC PICTURE OF THE ACTUAL HAPPENINGS VERSUS LOOKING AT IT ON A COMPUTER SCREEN.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO IDENTIFY THE PHYSICAL ASSETS AT RISK.

WHAT BRIDGES, WHAT CULVERTS, WHAT ARE ITS STRUCTURE? WHAT DO WE NEED TO REALLY THINK ABOUT HARDENING? WHAT DO WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT FIXING? WHAT ARE WE THINKING NEED TO BE ADDRESSED? FROM THERE WE GO TO A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS, AND THIS IS WHERE WE GO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

SO WE'RE HAVING FLOODING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD.

DO WE HAVE BACKFLOW PREVENTERS ON THE PIPES? IS THE PIPE BROKEN? SO REALLY KIND OF DO THE ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS AND THEN SELECT RESPONSES.

WE'VE DEVELOPED A TOOLBOX TO GO ALONG WITH THE FRAMEWORK THAT WILL BE A STARTING POINT.

WE KNOW AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS PROCESS, IT'S GOING TO EXPAND.

BUT SOMETHING I WANTED TO POINT OUT ABOUT THE TOOLBOX IS WE REALLY.

WELL. HERE WE GO.

WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT COST TIME.

AND IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS A SINGLE SOLUTION OR A SET OF PROBLEMS? SO INVESTMENT HERE, THEY'RE GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY OR DO SOMETHING THAT WE DO INSIDE THE RIGHT AWAY THAT WE CAN GET DONE PRETTY IMMEDIATELY.

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE LIKE A ROAD RACING WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT A MUCH BIGGER SOLUTION BUT REALLY KIND OF DIVIDE OUR SOLUTIONS INTO SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM WHERE WE CAN GET SOME IMPLEMENTATION MAYBE QUICKER TO SOLVE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE FACING NOW, KNOWING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS IN THE LONG RUN THAT WE CAN PLAN FOR.

WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE LIMITED INVESTMENT, THAT WE WANT TO MAKE A SMARTER INVESTMENT AS WE CAN.

SO THEN WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION.

HERE'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO BE MORE HOLISTIC, RIGHT, TO LOOK AT THE SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACTS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED.

WE ALSO WANT TO LOOK AT LAND USE, ZONING, SEE WHAT POSSIBLY CAN HAPPEN THERE.

AND THEN THIS IS WHERE THE PROGRAMMATIC ISSUES COME IN AS WELL.

LOOKING BACK, DO WE HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED ON THE GROUND TO MAKE THIS SUCCESSFUL? AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ARE THE WORK DOING A AND B, OR DO WE JUST GO DIRECTLY INTO PLAN C, KNOW WE WANT TO DO A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAKING THE SMART INVESTMENTS.

SO ONCE WE GET THROUGH THE EIGHT STEPS, THAT'S WHERE WE COME TO PROGRAM READY.

THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE A SOLID SCOPE FOR THE PROJECT.

WE HAVE SOLID COST ESTIMATES.

[00:30:02]

WE KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST.

WE HAVE COORDINATION WITH THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES, THE ROAD OWNERSHIP, AND WE HAVE A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FROM THE CITY THAT THE PROJECT IS GOING TO BE IN.

SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF AN OVERALL.

BUT I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT FEEDBACK LOOPS THAT WE'VE BUILT IN COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT ARE VERY IMPORTANT FROM DAY ONE.

IT'S PART OF ALL NINE OF THE STEPS.

AND THEN STEP SIX FEEDS BACK INTO STEP THREE AND STEP EIGHT FEEDS BACK INTO STEP SEVEN.

SO WE ALWAYS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK AND ADDRESS SOMETHING THAT COMES UP OR THAT WE MISSED ALONG THE PROCESS.

AND SO WHAT ARE OUR NEXT STEPS? WE ARE WANTING TO DO THIS FRAMEWORK.

APPLY IT TO HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD FROM YOUNG CIRCLE TO A1A AT THE PROTOTYPE TO REALLY DEFINE THE ANY ISSUES THAT WE SEE, MAKE SURE THAT IT'S WORKING THE WAY THAT WE THINK IT'S GOING TO WORK AND VALIDATE THE METHODOLOGY THAT WE DEVELOPED.

AND THEN WE'LL TAKE THAT AND APPLY IT TO THOSE OTHER CORRIDORS.

AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE 2050 MTP TEAM TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS CAN FIT IN GOING FORWARD IN THE 2050 AND BECOME A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER.

BUT WHAT WE'RE HERE TODAY FOR IS TO ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROTOTYPE.

WE HAVE GONE TO THE RESILIENCY AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE, AND WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU WITH REPORTS ONCE WE SEE HOW THIS IS WORKING.

THANK YOU, LEVI. QUESTIONS, RICHARD? YES. EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.

VERY THOROUGH. ARE YOU AWARE THAT THE COUNTY IS DOING A COUNTY WIDE RESILIENCY ASSESSMENT PLAN? YEAH. SO WE WORK WITH THE COUNTY, AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY PART OF OUR FRAMEWORK.

OKAY. THEIRS IS A LITTLE BROADER.

OURS IS REALLY WAS FOCUSED ON ROADWAYS AND WE'VE DONE OURS IN 2015 AND 2016.

SO ONCE THEY'VE COMPLETED THEIRS, WE'LL REEVALUATE SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE'VE DONE.

BUT WE DO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE COUNTY.

OKAY. YEAH, BECAUSE THEY HAVE HASTINGS AND SAWYER, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT PLAN AND LOOKING AT VERY SIMILAR IN A WAY.

ACTUALLY, I'M ON THE COMMITTEE.

SO, YEAH, I'M GOING TO SAY PROBABLY GOING TO BE VERY SIMILAR FINDINGS.

YEAH, BECAUSE THE DATA HASN'T CHANGED THAT MUCH.

BUT WE WORKED WITH THE COUNTY CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS FROM 2015 ON OR ACTUALLY BEFORE THEN, BUT SOMETHING THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IS GET HELD BACK BY NOT HAVING ALL THE DATA.

WE HAD GOOD DATA, SO WE STARTED PROCESSING A LITTLE SOONER THAN THE COUNTY.

THEY WANTED TO WAIT FOR STORM WATER OR WAS IT GROUNDWATER ELEVATIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THERE'S MAYBE A LITTLE DIFFERENT AND WE CAN REEVALUATE THEN.

BUT THAT FROM JENNIFER GERAGOS.

YES, SIR. OKAY, GREAT.

OKAY. SO, JENNIFER AND GREG, WE WORK GREAT.

OKAY, PERFECT.

THAT SAYS EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM.

THANK YOU. EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU, TOM.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU. LEVI AND RICHARD, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT AS WELL, TOO.

VERY HELPFUL.

SO I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP A LITTLE BIT.

SO IF THE COUNTY IS DOING THE RESILIENCY STUFF AND YOU'RE ALL DOING THE RESILIENCY STUFF AND IT'S VERY SIMILAR, WHAT'S DIFFERENT? SO THIS THE FRAMEWORK IS WHAT WE'RE DOING.

THE COUNTY IS DOING IT A RESILIENCY ASSESSMENT, OUR VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT.

AND WE DID OUR VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT IN 2016.

SO THEY'RE PUTTING ADDITIONAL DATA INTO THE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A FRAMEWORK FOR TRANSPORTATION AND HOW TO APPLY IT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR HERE, IS TO APPROVE THE FRAMEWORK, TO APPLY IT TO THE CORRIDORS WHERE WE MAKE SOUND DECISIONS ON THOSE CORRIDORS FOR INVESTMENT.

THANK YOU. IF I COULD ADD TO THAT, MAYBE CAN YOU GIVE US AN EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU USE IT? IS IT JUST GOING TO BE NEW PROJECTS, THE ONES YOU'VE IDENTIFIED AS RESILIENCY NEEDS? EVERY PROJECT WE SUBMIT TO SEE SLIP.

LIKE HOW WILL YOU USE IT IN YOUR WORK? GO AHEAD. DON'T CROSS OUR TEMPO.

SO I THINK FOR CONTEXT AND TO MR. GOODE'S QUESTION, YOU KNOW, WE IDENTIFIED EIGHT CORRIDORS BACK IN THE 2045 PLAN THAT YOU ALL REVIEWED AND ADOPTED AS PART OF THAT PLAN. AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING AGAIN, COLLABORATIVELY WITH F DOT, WITH THE COUNTY, WITH A DIFFERENT PARTNERS TO DEVELOP THIS PROCESS OF OK.

WE IDENTIFIED A CORRIDORS.

NOW WHAT DO WE DO WITH THEM? HOW DO WE STUDY THEM? IT'S KIND OF NEW. SO WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE SMALL STEPS HERE.

AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WE'VE TAKEN WHAT WE PRIORITIZED AS KIND OF THE WORST.

SO IT'S THE NUMBER ONE CORRIDOR THAT HOLLYWOOD AND NOW WE'VE WORKED ON.

WHAT WOULD A PROCESS LOOK LIKE TO EVALUATE ONE OF THESE CORRIDORS, WHICH IS WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY?

[00:35:05]

AND THEN WE WANT TO GO OUT AND DO THAT PROTOTYPE AND DEPENDING ON WHAT COMES OUT OF THERE, THEN WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU TO TALK ABOUT ACTUAL DISCRETE PROJECTS IN THAT CORRIDOR TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENT.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO APPLY ON THE LARGER SCALE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE RELATED TO THIS THAN THE 2050 PLAN.

SO MORE TO COME. BUT FOR THIS WHERE WE ARE TODAY, IT WAS.

THIS IS OUR INITIAL CRACK AT A PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING OR EVALUATING AND IDENTIFIED CORRIDOR.

SO THIS IS NOT EVERYTHING.

THIS IS A PIECE AND IT'S A YOU KNOW, MAYBE A SMALL STEP TOWARDS DEVELOPING SOMETHING.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING PROBABLY AS REGULAR BUSINESS MOVING FORWARD.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? NO SEEING NONE. THANK YOU, LEVI.

THANK YOU. SO NOW I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION TO RECOMMEND THAT THE BROWARD MPO ENDORSE THE TRANSPORTATION RESILIENCY FRAMEWORK.

MOTION WAS MADE BY MAQSOOD, SECONDED BY NATHALIE.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THE MOTION? SEEING NONE NOW WOULD CALL FOR A VOTE.

HEY, MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU.

NEXT, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR NON ACTION ITEMS.

[1. 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Call for Projects Announcement]

OUR FIRST NON ACTION ITEM IS THE 2050 MTP CALL FOR PROJECTS ANNOUNCEMENT AND CHRISTOPHER RESTREPO WILL KICK IT OFF.

HELLO. GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER RESTREPO, ONE OF THE PROJECT MANAGERS FOR THE 2050 MTP.

ALSO KNOWN AS REP TO 2050.

I'M SURE IT'S A VERY EXCITING TIME TO HEAR ABOUT OUR CALL FOR PROJECTS.

THIS HAPPENS ONCE EVERY FIVE YEARS.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO GET YOUR PROJECTS INTO OUR PLAN.

AND WHEN I SAY OUR IT'S NOT JUST MPO STAFF, BUT IT'S ALL OF US ALL TOGETHER.

SO EARLIER THIS WEEK I BELIEVE THAT YOU HAD RECEIVED AN EMAIL SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION TODAY AND ALSO THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING TO COLLECT THE PROJECTS THROUGH OUR CALL FOR PROJECTS PROCESS.

THIS PRESENTATION TODAY IS TO HELP WALK THROUGH THAT EMAIL, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE SET OFF IN A GOOD FOOT TO GET THESE PROJECTS IN OUR PLAN.

SO VERY FIRST WE SHOW THIS SLIDE ALL THE TIME.

IT'S TO REINFORCE THAT THESE ARE OUR CORE PRODUCTS, THE THREE DARK BLUE RECTANGLES THERE WE CALL OUR CONVEYOR BELT OF PROJECT PROGRAMING.

SO WE HAVE OUR METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST AND OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

TODAY, WE ARE GOING TO BE SPEAKING ABOUT THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE HAD SHOWN YOU THIS GRAPH THAT SHOWED THE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE MTP, ALL THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE MTP THAT MAKES IT ALL WHOLE AND INCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM PUBLIC OUTREACH, APPROACH, ANALYSIS, ASSESSMENT AND APPROVAL.

TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT PART AND EVEN FURTHER ABOUT THE CALL FOR PROJECTS WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THAT BLUE BOX THERE.

SO AT A GLANCE, THE FEW SIMPLE STEPS OF THE CALL FOR PROJECTS IS FIRST TO PREPARE PROJECTS, SCHEDULE MEETINGS, ATTEND A WORKSHOP, AND THEN SUBMIT PROJECTS. SO THAT'S AT A GLANCE.

WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO DETAIL ON EACH ONE OF THESE IN A SECOND.

THE FIRST ONE UP IS TO PREPARE PROJECTS.

SO PART OF THAT EMAIL THAT WAS SENT OUT, IT HAD A SPREADSHEET AS AN ATTACHMENT.

THAT ATTACHMENT IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE PROJECT INFORMATION TEMPLATE.

IN THAT PROJECT INFORMATION TEMPLATE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT FIELDS THAT YOU SEE TO THE LEFT AND THE BLUE BOXES.

THERE ARE PROJECT NAME, PROJECT SCOPE, ROADWAY OWNERSHIP, SLASH COORDINATION, CAPITAL COST, PRIMARY AND SECONDARY WORK MIX.

AND ALSO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM THE PROJECT IS ADDRESSING? EACH ONE OF THESE FIELDS ARE SHOWN IN THE EXCEL SHEET AND YOU CAN START PREPARING YOUR PROJECTS BY FILLING OUT THAT EXCEL SHEET.

IT'S REALLY TO BE A WORKSHEET FOR YOU ALL AND FOR US TOGETHER SO THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHEN WE GET TO OUR ONE ON ONE MEETINGS.

BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT, LET'S TALK ABOUT EACH ONE OF THESE REAL QUICK.

SO YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF SLIDES AS PART OF THIS PRESENTATION THAT REALLY GO INTO DETAIL OF WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.

SO THERE'S LESS CONFUSION.

I'M AWARE THAT THERE WILL PROBABLY STILL BE CONFUSION, BUT THAT'S WHY MY CONTACT INFORMATION IS THERE.

SO FOR PROJECT NAME, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A PROJECT ROAD NAME WITH ITS LIMITS.

SO FROM A BEGINNING LIMIT PLUS AN ENDING LIMIT, SO TO AN ENDING LIMIT.

THE EXAMPLE I HAVE HERE IS BROWARD BOULEVARD FROM ANDREWS AVENUE TO POWERLINE ROAD.

SIMPLE. THE NEXT ITEM THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS WHAT IS THE OWNERSHIP OF THE ROADWAY ITSELF?

[00:40:04]

IS IT COUNTY, LOCAL, STATE OR ANY COMBINATION OF THE THREE? YOU CAN PLACE THAT THERE.

ALSO, DOES THIS PROJECT REQUIRE RIGHT OF WAY? IF IT'S AN EASY NO, YOU CAN SAY NO.

IF IT'S NOT AN EASY YES, YOU'RE NOT SURE, JUST PUT YES.

AND THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT TOGETHER.

AND IF IT IS A YES, THEN SAY YES.

AND IF LET'S SEE THE LAST QUESTION THERE.

IF THE APPLICANT DOES NOT.

YEAH. SO THAT QUESTION WE ANSWERED THAT ONE WORK MIX.

SO WE HAVE A VARIETY OF WORK MIXES THAT WE'VE PLACED IN THE EXCEL SHEET.

IT HAS A DROPDOWN MENU.

YOU CAN GO AND SELECT THE ONE THAT BEST FITS THE PROJECT.

THESE ARE WORK MIXES THAT COME FROM OUR FROM OUR DRIVE TO WORK PROGRAM INTO OUR MULTIMODAL.

PRIORITIES LIST AND THEN EVENTUALLY GET INTO OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

SO CONSISTENCY IS THE BEST THING HERE.

SO WHAT WE'VE DONE, IF YOU, IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE A PROJECT IS FITTING EXACTLY ONE OF THESE OPTIONS AND IT HAS MAYBE MULTIPLE ELEMENTS TO IT, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A PRIMARY WORK MIX AND A SECONDARY WORK MIX.

THE PRIMARY WOULD BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE COST OF THE PROJECT AND THEN THE SECONDARY WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT SUPPORTS THAT PROJECT.

AND IF THERE'S MORE.

THERE'S MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN THE PROJECT A LITTLE BIT MORE, AND THAT'S UNDER PROJECT SCOPE.

SO TO THE LEFT, I HAVE A COUPLE OF PROJECT SCOPE ITEMS THAT YOU CAN USE TO HELP BUILD UP THE PROJECT SCOPE OF A PROJECT.

IT INCLUDES LIMITS THAT GO BEYOND THE PROJECT NAME.

SO LET'S SAY YOU WANT TO HAVE A SIDEWALK FOR ONLY A SMALL PART, BUT THEN YOU WANT TO DO.

CURB AND GUTTER FOR ANOTHER SMALL PART.

HAVE BEEN SPECIFIC ABOUT THOSE LIMITS.

REALLY HELPS US DEVELOP THIS PROJECT.

WORK ELEMENTS INCLUDE EVERYTHING FROM LIGHTING, SIDEWALK GRADE, SEPARATION, DRAINAGE, YOU NAME IT.

YOU CAN PLACE THOSE DIFFERENT WORK ELEMENTS IN THE SCOPE.

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS OR INTERACTIONS TO OTHER ROADWAYS OR PROJECTS.

IF THIS PROJECT IS ATTACHED TO ANOTHER PROJECT THAT ALREADY IS EXISTING OR WOULD BENEFIT FROM AN EXISTING PROJECT OR HAS A CONNECTION TO ANOTHER ROADWAY THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT. HAVING THAT EXTRA INFORMATION IN THERE WOULD BE HELPFUL.

AND THEN ALSO, IF THERE'S A POTENTIAL STUDY THAT'S NEEDED FOR THIS PROJECT, IDENTIFYING THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

OR IF THERE'S A STUDY IN PROGRESS FOR IT ALREADY, THERE'S JUST NO COMMITTED CONSTRUCTION FUNDS FOR THAT PROJECT.

PUTTING THAT ALL IN THERE IS REALLY HELPFUL AND THEN ALSO PARTNERS INVOLVED.

SO TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN, YOU HAVE EXAMPLES OF WHAT THIS PROJECT SCOPES ARE.

THERE'S THREE THERE THAT ALL HAVE DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF THE ELEMENTS TO THE LEFT.

YOU CAN USE THOSE AS EXAMPLES OR IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN.

THAT'S GREAT TO. THE NEXT IS CAPITAL COST.

WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS IF YOU HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF PLANNING LEVEL COSTS FOR THESE PROJECTS, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THEM RIGHT NOW, THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

WE CAN WORK ON THAT TOGETHER.

BUT IF YOU DO HAVE A GENERAL MAGNITUDE OF WHAT THAT PROJECT IS GOING TO COST.

PUT THAT INFORMATION THERE, PLEASE.

AND THEN ALSO BRIEFLY IN A FEW SENTENCES, JUST DESCRIBE WHY THE PROJECT IS NEEDED AND WHAT THE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSING.

OKAY, SO THAT WAS PROJECT INFORMATION TEMPLATE.

SO THAT'S THE GATHER PROJECT FORMATION PART.

THE SECOND PART TO THIS IS TO SCHEDULE A MEETING.

SO WE'RE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS TIME AROUND.

WE'RE USING AN ONLINE APPLICATION SCHEDULE, WHICH IS CALLED CALENDAR.

AND WHAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO IS YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE AVAILABLE DATES FOR MEETINGS THAT YOU CAN HAVE ONE ON ONE WITH US ABOUT MPO, WHERE WE CAN GO THROUGH THAT PROJECT LIST AND START WORKING OUT ALL THE KINKS FOR THEM.

WHAT YOU'LL DO IS YOU'LL CLICK ON THE LINK THAT'S PROVIDED IN THE EMAIL THAT WAS SENT OUT AND YOU'LL SCROLL THROUGH, SCROLL THROUGH THE CALENDAR TO SELECT A DATE AND A TIME, AND THAT WILL SEND DIRECTLY TO MY MAILBOX AND I WILL SEND IT OFF TO ALL THE GREAT PARTIES.

THE MEETINGS WILL RUN FOR 60 MINUTES.

THE DATE RANGE OF THOSE MEETINGS IS BETWEEN JANUARY 26TH AND MARCH 16TH.

THEY'LL BE LOCATED HERE, THE BROWARD MPO.

AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS THAT ALL THE PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE IN THE ROOM THAT DAY OR INCLUDE THE MEMBER, THE MPO BOARD MEMBER, CITY MANAGER AND ANY OTHER CITY STAFF THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO BRING INTO THE MEETING.

AND THEN WE'LL HAVE OUR STUFF HERE.

AND ALSO REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN SCROLL THROUGH THE MONTHS TO SELECT YOUR THE MONTH OR THE DATE THAT YOU WANT.

NEXT IS A WORKSHOP.

SO AFTER YOU SCHEDULE A MEETING, YOU HAD YOUR MEETING WITH US.

WE'VE DECIDED ON THESE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE SHOULD PURSUE.

WE'LL BE HOSTING AN ONLINE.

WE'LL BE HOSTING AN IN-HOUSE WORKSHOP DURING THE MEETING, WHICH IS MARCH 22ND, 2023, AND WE WILL WALK THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THAT APPLICATION.

THAT APPLICATION WILL BE AN ONLINE GIS BASED APPLICATION WHERE YOU CAN DRAW YOUR PROJECT, DOING SOME SIMPLE DRAWING AND THEN FILLING OUT THE DIFFERENT ATTRIBUTES.

IF YOU STILL HAVE YOUR PROJECT INFORMATION TEMPLATE, THOSE EXACT SAME QUESTIONS WE ASKED THEM THERE, OR WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR IN THE APPLICATION.

SO IT'S REALLY JUST COPY PASTING THEM IN.

ONCE THAT WORKSHOP IS COMPLETED, WE WILL LAUNCH THE APPLICATION.

YOU CAN PLACE ALL THAT PROJECT INFORMATION INTO THE APPLICATION AND WE'RE EXPECTING TO HAVE IT OPEN AND CLOSE IN THE MONTH OF APRIL.

OK. SO SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE.

CALL FOR PROJECTS. PREPARE FOR PROJECTS.

WE'RE SAYING THAT'S GOING TO BE BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH THIS YEAR.

THE ONE ON ONE MEETINGS WILL OCCUR FROM JANUARY 26TH TO MARCH 16TH.

[00:45:05]

THE WORKSHOP WILL BE MARCH 22ND AND THEN THE APPLICATION WILL OCCUR IN APRIL.

AND I AM HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS.

THANK YOU. WELL, THANK YOU, CHRISTOPHER.

LUIS. HOLD ON.

LET ME GET YOU AGAIN. I'LL UNMUTE YOU.

THERE YOU GO. YOU SHOULD BE GOING NOW.

TRY IT AGAIN. HELLO? OKAY. GOT IT.

CHRISTOPHER, HI. I HAVE A QUESTION.

SO, PER PRESENTATION, WE NEED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE FINAL LIST OF PROJECTS IN APRIL.

SO THE PORT IS IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING OUR MASTER PLAN AND WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO START THE MASTER PLAN AROUND APRIL MAY.

SO WE MAY NOT HAVE THE MOST UPDATED PROJECT LIST.

AND IN THE PROJECT, THE PROJECTS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, WE MAY, YOU KNOW, CHANGE THEM OR REMOVE SOME OF THE PROJECTS.

SO WHAT CAN WE DO THERE? YEAH. SO I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME AROUND WHEN WE DID THE 2045 PLAN, WE DID NOT INITIALLY INCLUDE THE PORT PROJECTS AS PART OF THE CALL FOR PROJECTS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A VERY SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE THERE WAS A DELAY WITHIN THE PROCESS OF YOU ALL UPDATING YOUR PLAN.

SO WE INCORPORATED THEM LATER INTO THE PLAN.

THE PURPOSE OF THE CALL FOR PROJECTS IS TO PRIORITIZE ALL THE DIFFERENT MOSTLY ROADWAY AND TRANSIT PROJECTS.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

PUT THE PORT PROJECTS THROUGH THAT SAME PRIORITIZATION PROCESS.

GO FOR IT, IF I COULD, THROUGH THE CHAIR.

SURE. THE ANSWER IS YOU'RE GOING TO SUBMIT ANY PROJECTS THAT YOU WANT ON THIS TIME FRAME.

AND WE UNDERSTAND PLANNING TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IS A PERMANENTLY ONGOING PROCESS.

IT NEVER BEGINS. IT NEVER ENDS.

RIGHT. SO GIVE US THE BEST THAT YOU HAVE AT THE TIME THAT YOU HAVE IT.

THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO GO INTO THE PLAN.

I WOULD ALSO ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE POTENTIAL GRANT APPLICATIONS.

IF YOU'RE AWARE OF PROJECTS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PURSUE FEDERAL GRANTS.

NOW'S THE TIME.

GET THE BROAD OUTLINES.

REMEMBER OUR 2050 PLAN? IT'S A PLANNING DOCUMENT.

SO, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE YOUR CONSTRUCTION PLANS DONE IN ORDER TO GIVE US A THE OUTLINES OF A PROJECT, THE NAME, THE GENERAL CONTOURS OF THE SCOPE COST, AND THEN THAT CAN SET YOURSELF UP FOR PURSUING FEDERAL GRANTS.

AND AGAIN, AS YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN ANNUAL AMENDMENT PROCESS.

SO AS YOUR PLAN BECOMES FINAL AND APPROVED, ADOPTED, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK AND DO MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN LONG TERM.

BUT IN ORDER FOR US TO GET THROUGH THIS PROCESS TIMELY, THESE DEADLINES ARE FIRM.

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH.

AND IT'S FOR EVERYBODY.

YOU KNOW, WE ALL KNOW EVERYBODY'S KIND OF ALWAYS IN PROCESS.

SO WE JUST NEED, YOU KNOW, YOUR BEST THAT YOU HAVE AT THAT POINT IN TIME.

AND WE'LL WORK WITH YOU ON CHANGES AS WE GO INTO THE INTO THE FUTURE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. LIKE TOM.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. SO.

THANKS, CHRIS, FOR, BY THE WAY, YOU DO GREAT IN PUBLIC SPEAKING.

THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY ADMIRE YOU.

THANK YOU. I JUST HAVE JUST SOME QUESTIONS JUST SO I CAN PUT THINGS IN MY OWN PERSPECTIVE.

SO WE ARE SUBMITTING FOUR PROJECTS THAT WILL BE PLACED ON THE 2030 TO 2050 TIME FRAME.

IS THAT CORRECT? SO YES, TO THE PROJECTS.

YEAH. THE LOOKOUT IS RIGHT IN OUR TITLE.

RIGHT TO 2050. RIGHT.

BUT THAT WOULD BE THE END OF THE TIME BAND.

SO THE CLOSEST TIME BAND FOR THESE PROJECTS WOULD BE PAST 2030.

THANK YOU. SO 2030 WOULD BE THE EARLIEST THE PROJECT WOULD ENTER INTO THE PROGRAMING SCHEDULE.

AND SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE 20, 30, 2050 BRACKET AND YOU'RE RECEIVING PROJECTS, HOW IS IT DETERMINED THAT A PROJECT IS, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE GOING TO DETERMINE IT QUALIFIES, BUT LET'S SAY ONCE YOU DETERMINE IT QUALIFIES, HOW DO YOU HOW WHAT YEAR IS IT GOING TO BE PUT IN BETWEEN A 2030 AND 2050 TIME FRAME? YEAH, STICK AROUND THROUGH THE PROCESS BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE COMING BACK TO SHOW YOU HOW THAT GOES.

SO, YEAH, WHAT WE'LL DO IS WHEN WE GET THE GENERAL UNIVERSE OF THE PROJECTS, WE'LL WALK THROUGH, WE'LL PUT THEM THROUGH OUR PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA AND IT'LL GIVE US A LIST VERY MUCH HOW WE DO ALL THE A LOT OF OUR PLANS.

WE'LL GET THEM RANKED AND BASED OFF OF THE COST OF THOSE PROJECTS.

[00:50:04]

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FIT THOSE INTO THE COST FEASIBLE TIME BANDS OF THE PLAN.

I COULDN'T TELL YOU WHICH ONE IS GOING TO GET THERE NOW OR LATER, BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO FIT IN WITH WITHIN ONE OF THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN TIME BANDS.

AND YEAH, SO YOU REFERENCED THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA.

IS THAT GOING TO BE MADE AVAILABLE BEFORE WE MAKE APPLICATION? NO NOT YET.

WE'RE DEVELOPING THAT STILL.

OKAY. THAT'S RATHER INTERESTING.

I THINK A GUIDANCE IS A LITTLE BIT IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE NEXT THING I'M GOING TO ASK IS, WELL, ANY PROJECT THAT WE WOULD PUT IN, LET'S SAY IT QUALIFIES, IT'S GOING TO GO IN, BUT IT COULD GO IN LIKE EVENTUALLY IN THE 2045, 2050 TIME BAND AS YOU SPEAK.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE REFERENCE OF AN AMENDMENT PROCESS IN ORDER TO TRY TO BRING IT UP EARLIER.

I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU CRAFT THESE APPLICATIONS SUCH THAT YOU CAN GET THEM INTO A TIME FRAME THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE ACCEPTABLE BY THE ELECTEDS THAT WILL SAY, I WANT TO STILL BE HERE WHEN THAT PROJECT GETS DONE? SO PETER, GUYS WITH THE BROAD METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT POINT DIRECTLY ABOUT THE PROJECT PRIORITIZATION PROCESS AND DEVELOPING IT BEFORE THE CALL FOR PROJECTS AS IT PERTAINS TO THE PROJECT PRIORITIZATION PROCESS.

YOU CAN LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT OUR C SELECT PROGRAM AND SEE THE TYPES OF CRITERIA THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT EQUITY, WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT MOBILITY.

SO LOOKING AT OUR CONGESTED ROADWAYS, WE'RE ALSO GOING BE LOOKING AT BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

THIS CAME UP LAST TIME WHEN WE DEVELOPED THE 2045 AND DEVELOPING THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA AHEAD OF THE CALL FOR PROJECTS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT'S VERY DIFFICULT IN THE TIME FRAME TO DO.

THAT SAID, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE CALL FOR PROJECTS, WE ARE TAKING THE PROJECT AS IS, RIGHT? SO IF YOU, FOR EXAMPLE, HAVE A NEED, WHETHER IT BE CAPACITY, WHETHER IT BE BIKE PED FROM POINT A TO POINT B, THAT'S LITERALLY ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT THE MTP IS SO HIGH LEVEL THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING INTO WHETHER THE PROJECT HAS BIO SWALES OR HAS THOSE TYPES OF ELEMENTS.

IT'S JUST WE'RE AT THE 30,000 FOOT LEVEL.

SO AGAIN, WHEN YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT CRITERIA, YOU KNOW, THE AREAS WHERE THE MPO IS LOOKING AT CRITERIA IN GENERAL, AGAIN LOOKING AT THE C PROGRAM, EQUITY, MOBILITY ACCESSIBILITY, POPULATION EMPLOYMENT RATIOS, RIGHT? SO THINK ABOUT THAT.

AND IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, THOSE AREAS THAT A PROJECT MAY BE NEEDED, RIGHT, AND WHERE THEY WOULD RANK HIGH IN THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS.

SO THE PROJECT PRIORITIZATION PROCESS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TAC.

YOU ALL ARE OUR STEERING COMMITTEE.

IF YOU REMEMBER LAST TIME WE DID LIKE A THREE OR FOUR PART PROCESS FOR THAT.

SO YOU WILL BE INVOLVED.

BUT IN TERMS OF HAVING THAT AVAILABLE BEFORE THE CALL FOR PROJECTS, THAT'S JUST NOT GOING TO BE THERE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I HAVE MORE TO SAY, BUT LATER, WE CAN TALK OFFLINE AS WELL.

YEAH, AND I WILL INTERJECT QUICKLY THAT I AGREE WITH MR. GOODE. I KNOW WE HAD ISSUES LAST TIME WHERE WE SUBMITTED PROJECTS AND THEN ONCE THE RANKING CRITERIA CAME UP, THEN WE WERE TOLD OUR PROJECTS DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO BE RANKED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE RANKING CRITERIA WAS.

WHEN WE WERE PUTTING OUR APPLICATIONS IN AND SAYING IT WAS TOO LATE TO ADD ANYTHING AT ONCE, A CRITERIA WAS DEVELOPED AND IT JUST SEEMED A LITTLE BACKWARDS ON HOW THAT WOULD DO.

I ECHO MR. GOOD'S, MICHAEL.

THERE YOU GO. OKAY.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

JUST A QUICK QUESTION ON THE FUNDING AMOUNTS.

IS THERE. CAN YOU REMIND ME ON THE THRESHOLDS? MINIMUM MAXIMUM.

YOU KNOW, THE CECL PARAMETERS CERTAINLY ARE OUTLINED.

SO THE TYPE OF PROJECTS WE'RE LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR C SLIP PROGRAM THAT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR, AND THAT'S GENERALLY A RULE OF THUMB THAT THE PROJECT COST HAS TO BE LESS THAN $3 MILLION FOR THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

WE THINK OF IT IN SCALE, RIGHT? WE WANT THESE LARGER PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO REQUIRE SO MUCH MONEY THAT THEY HAVE TO BE PLANNED OUT A LOT FURTHER.

SO GENERALLY, RULE OF THUMB, A PROJECT THAT'S MORE THAN $3 MILLION SO THAT IT DOESN'T FALL INTO THAT C SLIP CATEGORY.

AND NO MAXIMUMS. NO. WE LOVE THE FANTASY PROJECT.

ABSOLUTELY. YEAH.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MAQSOOD.

THANK YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

GOOD TO SEE ANDREW HERE, BECAUSE THIS QUESTION THAT I'M GOING TO ASK, IT IS A PROJECT THAT IS ANDREW IS THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE MPO SITE 31ST AVENUE I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THAT WAS THAT HE SAID VERY CLOSE TO COMPLETE THE STUDY PHASE.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE MOVING INTO THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE.

[00:55:02]

BUT THIS PROJECT DOES INVOLVE FIVE OTHER CITIES AND ALSO COUNTY.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW AS THIS AS WE KNOW WE MUST PROBABLY $20 MILLION PROJECT.

I BELIEVE MAYBE ANDREW CAN GIVE MORE INFORMATION ON THAT, HOW THAT WILL BE INCLUDED HERE AS A LEAD CITY FOR THIS PROJECT.

WE SHOULD MAKE THAT CALL OR SHOULD BE BUY FROM ANDREW.

I'M TALKING ABOUT 31ST AVENUE.

AND IF YOU CAN PLEASE TALK ON THAT AND TRY TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.

SO IF I'M CORRECT, YOU HAVE A LIST OF PROJECTS THAT HE HAD WORKED ON, CORRECT.

OR I WANT TO HEAR FROM.

HE HAS MORE KNOWLEDGE ON THAT AND HE KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

LISTEN, I THINK IF I COULD THROUGH THE CHAIR, I'D LIKE TO ANSWER THIS AND IN A GENERAL WAY, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.

MAQSOOD AND WE GET THESE RIGHT EVERY TIME WE DO THIS.

SO AGAIN, THERE'S OUTSIDE FACTORS.

THERE'S WHAT CAN THE CITY FUND, IS THE SURTAX GOING TO FUND A PROJECT, ETC..

OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THIS TIME IS THE SAME AS IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO, WHICH IS IF YOU HAVE A PROJECT THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN MOVING FORWARD AT THIS POINT IN THE PROCESS, BRING IT FORWARD.

WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS NOW.

WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR NEEDS.

SO IF YOU HAVE A NEED WITHIN YOUR CITY AND THAT INCLUDES PROJECTS THAT ANDREW AND HIS CITY SERVICES TEAM HAVE BEEN WORKING ON, ABSOLUTELY.

PLEASE SUBMIT THEM.

I WOULD SAY DON'T BE SHY.

IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WELL, I DON'T KNOW, SHOULD I SUBMIT THIS OR NOT SUBMIT IT, GIVE IT TO US WHEN WE SIT DOWN AND WE HAVE THAT ONE ON ONE WITH YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR CITY MANAGER THERE, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR BOARD MEMBER, ELECTED OFFICIALS.

WE CAN GO INTO FURTHER DEPTH.

IS THIS REALLY THE PATH THAT THEY WANT TO FOLLOW? IS THERE SUPPORT? BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO.

IF IN DOUBT, SUBMIT IT.

WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

WE'LL SORT IT OUT LATER.

BUT IF YOU DON'T GET IT INTO US UP FRONT IN THE NEEDS, THEN THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO AS WE START TO GO THROUGH THE ANALYTICAL ANALYSIS PRIORITIZATION, BECAUSE THE PROJECT'S NOT THERE.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THAT PART.

BUT AS YOU KNOW, THIS PROJECT HAS COMPLEXITY.

LIKE IT IS NOT ONLY OUR CITY, WE HAVE OTHER CITIES INVOLVED, WE HAVE COUNTY INVOLVED.

AND THE PROJECT MANAGER IS ANDREW FROM MPO SIDE WHO CONDUCTED THE STUDY, DID A LOT OF WORK AND I UNDERSTAND WE ARE THE INITIATOR OF THAT PROJECT.

WE ARE THE LEAD CITY FOR THAT PROJECT, BUT THAT IS FOR THE STUDY PART.

BUT FOR THIS FUNDING PART, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THOSE CITIES AGAIN TO GET THEIR SUPPORT.

HOW THAT IS GOING TO WORK, I HAVE NO IDEA.

THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING. YEAH, AND IT'S A GOOD AGAIN, A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

I WOULD PUT THE WHOLE PROJECT IN FOR RIGHT NOW AND WE'LL WORK WITH YOU TO HELP COORDINATE WITH WHETHER IT'S THE OWNER OR YOUR ADJACENT CITIES BECAUSE.

RIGHT. SOMEBODY WE HAVE SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE.

DO WE BREAK THE PROJECT UP? DO WE WANT TO DELIVER IT AS A SINGLE PROJECT AS NORMALLY? YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT DEPENDS ON MANY DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT NORMALLY.

RIGHT, IT NEEDS TO BE DELIVERED.

THERE'S ONE LEAD CITY, RIGHT? IF YOU'RE GOING TO CROSS MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES.

SO AND AGAIN, THOSE ARE DECISIONS YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE BEFORE YOU SUBMIT.

ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THAT ADJACENT CITY AND HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AHEAD OF TIME, THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL BEFORE WE SIT DOWN AND HAVE OUR ONE ON ONE. SO WE KIND OF HAVE A SENSE OF WHERE YOU AND YOUR PARTNER MUNICIPALITY MIGHT LIKE TO GO.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION.

SO WE ARE PLANNING WE'LL HAVE THE MEETING AND WE WERE PLANNING ON PRESENTING TO OUR COMMISSION BEFORE WE ACTUALLY SUBMIT.

IS THIS SOMETHING WE NEED FORMAL RESOLUTIONS FOR? JUST KIND OF. NOT YET.

NO, WE'RE NO FORMAL RESOLUTION RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. EXCELLENT.

GREAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, CHRISTOPHER. GREAT.

AND IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE APPLICATION OR YOUR TEMPLATE, GIVE ME A CALL.

I'LL HAPPILY HELP YOU OUT.

THANK YOU. MOVE ON TO OUR SECOND NON ACTION ITEM, WHICH IS TRANSPORTATION, HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND RELATED AGENCIES.

[2. Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill]

FISCAL 23 OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS BILL.

MR. GIES IS WITH US TODAY.

HELLO AGAIN, PETER. HE'S WITH THE BROWARD MPO.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A SHORT PRESENTATION JUST TO GIVE YOU ALL A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE TRANSPORTATION, HOUSING, URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND RELATED AGENCIES FUNDING THAT WAS APPROVED THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 OMNIBUS BILL.

YOU PROBABLY HEARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS, THAT CONGRESS IS WORKING REALLY HARD TO GET AN OMNIBUS BILL PASSED.

KIND OF AS USUAL, CONGRESS IS A LITTLE BIT DYSFUNCTIONAL AT THE MOMENT.

WE'RE GETTING THINGS DONE. LAST MINUTE THIS CAME TO THE PRESIDENT'S DESK, I THINK LIKE DECEMBER 30TH OR SOMETHING, AND IT WAS SIGNED.

FORTUNATELY, THIS TIME AROUND, THERE WAS A LOT OF FUNDING THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE BILL, $1.7 TRILLION WORTH OF FUNDING, AND IT WAS BROKEN UP BETWEEN DIFFERENT AGENCIES.

AND YOU CAN SEE HERE JUST AN OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE AGENCIES THAT WOULD WHERE THE FUNDING WOULD KIND OF AFFECT US.

[01:00:06]

AGAIN, FROM AN MPO PERSPECTIVE, LOOKING AT IT FROM A TRANSPORTATION PERSPECTIVE.

SO THE FIRST PLACE IS THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HAS $106.3 BILLION WORTH OF FUNDING THAT WAS ALLOCATED THROUGH THE OMNIBUS BILL, AND THAT WAS AN INCREASE OVER, I BELIEVE, $3.6 BILLION FROM THE PREVIOUS SPENDING BILL.

ALSO, AS PART OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, THERE WERE SOME TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS THAT WERE INCLUDED THROUGH HUD.

OVERALL, HUD RECEIVED $58.2 BILLION WORTH OF FUNDING.

AND THEN THERE ARE OTHER AGENCIES AS WELL.

AND THESE WOULD BE LIKE THE HEALTH SECTOR AND OTHER THINGS RECEIVED ABOUT $419.5 MILLION.

SO YOU CAN SEE INFRASTRUCTURE, RIGHT? HOUSING AND INFRASTRUCTURE, BIG NUMBERS FOR THOSE AREAS.

SO THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE LEGISLATION ITSELF.

THERE WAS A BIG EMPHASIS ON IMPROVING SAFETY, HIGHWAYS, AVIATION, TRANSIT, RAIL AND PORT SYSTEM AND ALSO LOOKING AT EXPANDING BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE.

AGAIN, THE ADMINISTRATION IS VERY INTERESTED IN KEEN IN THOSE TYPES OF INVESTMENTS.

SO AS A RESULT, THE OMNIBUS BILL REFLECTED A LOT OF THAT, ALSO REFLECTING AND REFLECTING THAT IN TRANSIT STATE OF GOOD REPAIR, MAKING SURE THAT WE GET THINGS LIKE NEW ROLLING STOCK AND NEW VEHICLES, LOOKING AT ADVANCING THE TECHNOLOGY OF THOSE VEHICLES.

SO ELECTRIFYING THE FLEET, STUFF LIKE THAT.

THAT WAS A LOT OF GOOD STUFF THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE OMNIBUS BILL SPECIFICALLY AS IT AFFECTS THE BROWARD MPO.

WE SAW THE RETURN OF EARMARKS AND YOU KNOW, THEY KIND OF ARE A MIXED BAG, EARMARKS.

ON ONE HAND, IT'S GREAT BECAUSE IT'S A WAY FOR US TO GET ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

ON THE OTHER HAND, PEOPLE ARGUE THAT THOSE EARMARKS KIND OF JUST COME UP AND, YOU KNOW, THE QUALITY OF THE PROJECT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE THERE.

RIGHT. IT'S BASED A LOT ON POLITICAL WILL.

BUT THE PROCESS THAT THE BROWARD MPO TOOK IN TERMS OF SUBMITTING EARMARKS, AS WE LOOKED AT PROJECTS THAT WERE EXISTING IN OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

SO WE KNOW THAT THESE PROJECTS WERE VETTED AT SOME POINT RIGHT THROUGH OUR LONG RANGE PLAN.

WE'RE PRIORITIZED BY THE BOARD AND THEN ULTIMATELY INCLUDED FOR FUNDING IN THE TIP.

SO WE TARGETED SPECIFICALLY THOSE PROJECTS AND YOU'LL SEE THOSE PROJECTS IN THE BLUE AT THE TOP.

THOSE WERE FUNDED THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY, AGAIN, ON PRIORITIES THAT WERE IN OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

THEY WILL BE REPLACING OUR FUNDING FROM WHAT WE CALL OUR CEW FUNDING OR THE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDING.

THOSE DOLLARS WILL BE REPLACING THAT, AND THAT MEANS WE'LL HAVE THOSE FUNDS TO REPURPOSE ON OTHER PROJECTS.

SO THAT'S A REALLY GREAT NEWS.

THERE WERE SOME OTHER PROJECTS THAT CAME THROUGH HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND YOU SEE THOSE ARE IN THE GREEN AT THE BOTTOM.

WE'RE STILL NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW WE NEED TO COORDINATE WITH THOSE PROJECTS BECAUSE HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND DOT TO DIFFERENT FEDERAL AGENCIES, WE TYPICALLY DEAL A LOT WITH DOT AND THAT'S WHERE WE GET ALL OF OUR TIP AMENDMENTS.

AND FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE PROJECTS IN THE BLUE, THOSE ARE ONES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING NOW AS PART OF AMENDMENTS SO THAT WE CAN REPLACE THE FUNDING ON THOSE PROJECTS.

WE'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THOSE GREEN PROJECTS ARE.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME THROUGH AS TIP AMENDMENTS.

WE'LL SEE. I THINK THE CENTRAL OFFICE FOR EFFORT IS COORDINATING WITH FEDERAL HIGHWAY AND ALSO HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE GET THAT SORTED OUT.

BUT EITHER WAY, GOOD NEWS THAT THESE APPROPRIATIONS OR I SHOULD SAY THESE EARMARKS WERE PASSED AND INCLUDED IN THE BILL.

AND THERE'S ADDITIONAL FUNDING NOW FOR THE SOUTH FLORIDA REGION HERE ON THESE SPECIFIC PROJECTS.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL GLADLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

BUT AGAIN, JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE OMNIBUS BILL AND SOME OF THE PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND IN BROWARD COUNTY THAT WE'RE FUNDED.

THANK YOU, PETER. ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A KIND OF A HIGHER LEVEL GLOBAL.

I KNOW A LOT OF THE NEW MONEY COMING DOWN HAS JUST HELPED US SHORE UP ALL THE COST INCREASES AND CONSTRUCTION.

ARE WE GETTING TO A PLACE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO START TO SEE MORE PROJECTS BEING ABLE TO BE DONE YET? SO I WILL SPEAK VERY GENERALLY RIGHT.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVE THROUGH THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS AND JOBS ACT UP, THE MAJORITY OF IT WENT TO COVER COST INCREASES. ONE CAN SEE THAT AS KIND OF, AGAIN, A MIXED BAG.

RIGHT? IT'S GOOD BECAUSE HAD THAT MONEY NOT COME IN, THOSE PROJECTS WOULD HAVE LIKELY FALLEN OFF THE WORK PROGRAM.

THEY'D HAVE TO GET DUMPED OUT. SO WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE WORK PROGRAM WHOLE AND KEEP IT FUNDED.

THE DOT IS OBVIOUSLY ADJUSTING ALL THEIR COST ESTIMATE SHEETS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND THEIR INFLATION RATES AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

AND AS WE NOW GET THROUGH THAT SLUG OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE COST INCREASES, WE'RE HOPING THAT PROJECTS THAT ARE GETTING FUNDED NOW, THE NEW FIFTH YEAR ARE GOING TO BE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A BETTER COST ESTIMATE ACCURATELY REFLECT THOSE INFLATION INCREASES.

SO THE ANSWER IS YES, WE HOPE SO THAT THE NEW FUNDING WILL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO COVER NOW NEW PROJECTS AND REALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

BUT AS WE KNOW, COSTS HAVE INCREASED ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL TYPES OF MATERIALS, AND WE'RE EXPERIENCING THAT HERE AT THE MPO.

BUT I'M SURE YOU'RE ALSO EXPERIENCING IT AT THE MUNICIPAL AND THE COUNTY LEVEL AS WELL.

VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, PETER.

SURE. NEXT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO PRESENTATION ABOUT FEDERAL DISCRETIONARY GRANTS BY PAUL CALVARESI'S.

[3. Federal Discretionary Grants]

[01:05:06]

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. PAUL CALVARESI, BROWARD MPO.

GOOD AFTERNOON. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

SO I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN THIS SLIDE SEVERAL TIMES.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT FOR THE NEXT THE UPCOMING YEARS.

THERE'S A LOT OF NEW FUNDING, PARTICULARLY NEW DISCRETIONARY GRANT PROGRAMS. WHAT'S EXCITING ABOUT THIS TIME AROUND IS THAT ALL THE NEW PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE ALREADY SEEN, WE KNOW TO EXPECT TO BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU ON THE APPLICATIONS WE APPLIED FOR LAST YEAR, SOME OF THESE HAD A LOT OF CURVEBALLS JUST AS A, FOR INSTANCE, THE SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL, WHERE WE HAVE TO THANK OUR PARTNERS OF THE COUNTY FOR PROVIDING THEIR IN-KIND MATCH FOR THAT.

THAT WAS ONLY A 300 WORD ESSAY APPLICATION, WHICH WE'D NEVER SEEN, WE'D NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

OUR THRIVING COMMUNITIES APPLICATION THAT WAS TWO 500 WORD ESSAYS.

SO WE'RE NOTICING THAT THESE NEW PROGRAMS ARE PROGRESSIVE, THEY'RE INTERESTING, AND THEIR APPLICATIONS ARE TOO.

SO UP HERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT THE BROWARD MPO TOOK THE LEAD OR PARTNERED ON.

WE DID FOUR IN FOUR MONTHS.

I DON'T MISS THAT PART OF 2022, BUT HOPEFULLY ALL OF THESE WILL LAND AND WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF NEW AND EXCITING PROJECTS FOR YOU.

SO YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS SLIDE BEFORE.

YOU SEEN SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS SLIDE.

NEW SLIDE, NEW LINK. PLEASE TAKE OUT YOUR PHONES.

SAVE THIS.

I BELIEVE THE AGENDA PACKET IS UPDATED, WILL BE UPDATED WITH IT.

BUT TAKE OUT YOUR PHONES.

SAVE THIS. THIS IS OUR NOW MONTHLY COORDINATION MEETING.

WE WERE HOLDING THEM BI WEEKLY.

THAT GOT TO BE LITTLE MUCH.

BUT THE OTHER PART OF THIS THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HOLD THAT SECOND MEETING EACH MONTH IS THAT THIS IS THAT MEETING TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT GRANTS AND COORDINATION.

OKAY. OUR FRIENDS AT POMPANO BEACH REACHED OUT EARLY IN THE WEEK.

THEY'RE INTERESTED IN TO RAISE GRANTS.

THE NEXT DAY, OAKLAND PARK REACHED OUT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN THE RAISE GRANT, WHICH IS OPEN RIGHT NOW.

AND THIS IS A VERY GOOD FORUM BECAUSE YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE LITERALLY NEXT TO YOU AND WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AND COORDINATE REGIONAL PROJECTS TO MAKE OUR AREA MORE LIKELY TO WIN GRANTS.

SO I PROMISE I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE NEXT THREE SLIDES WITH YOU.

THIS IS IN YOUR AGENDA.

EVERYTHING IN BLUE IS A HYPERLINK FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS AND US DOT FINALLY DID IT.

THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE PROGRAM WE'RE GOING TO GET UPCOMING GRANTS AND SOME OF THEM ARE AS ACCURATE AS WINTER 2023, WHICH FOR SOMEBODY WHO GREW UP IN FLORIDA, I'M NOT QUITE SURE THAT IT'S EVER GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT THE REST OF THEM GIVES MORE INFORMATION ABOUT GENERALLY WHEN THESE GRANT PROGRAMS ARE GOING TO COME OUT OR COME BACK AGAIN.

AND THIS WILL BE THE BASIS OF OUR DISCUSSIONS FOR THOSE MONTHLY GRANT COORDINATION MEETINGS AND AT THE TAC MEETINGS OF LOOKING DOWN THE PIKE.

WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THESE GRAND PROGRAMS? DO YOU HAVE PROJECTS CAN YOU PARTNER WITH? CAN YOU PARTNER WITH SOMEONE TO UP THE APPLICATION AND MAKE IT REGIONAL OR MULTI JURISDICTIONAL? SO WITH THAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, PAUL. ANY QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHEN SOME OF THE ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM LAST YEAR'S EFFORTS MIGHT COME DOWN? HAVE YOU HEARD ANY WHISPERINGS YET? LET ME PULL BACK. SO SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL WE'VE HEARD WOULD BE FEBRUARY ON THE RAIL CROSSING ELIMINATION PROGRAM THAT WAS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FIRST QUARTER THAT MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN PUSHED OFF TO APRIL NOW.

AND NO WORD YET ON SMART, THRIVING COMMUNITIES IS SUPPOSED TO LET US THERE'S MULTIPLE ROUNDS TO IT AND THEY SHOULD LET US KNOW SOMETIME IN FEBRUARY.

BUT I HAVEN'T.

HASN'T BEEN CONFIRMED OR DENIED YET.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR PAUL? NO, THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WE ARE FULL, REBECCA? YES. OH, JUST LET YOU KNOW.

I DID UPDATE THE LINK ON THE AGENDA PACKET.

EXCELLENT. SO IF ANYBODY NEEDS TO JOIN THAT LINK AND MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION, YOU CAN GO TO THE AGENDA PACKET ON THE WEBSITE AND CLICK TO JOIN THAT ZOOM MEETING IN THE FUTURE.

WHEN'S THE NEXT ONE, PAUL? THIS THURSDAY. VALENTINE'S DAY.

WHAT A BETTER WAY. RIGHT? SO THE NEXT ITEM WILL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT NON ACTION ITEM, WHICH IS A REPORT FROM PARTNER AGENCY, THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE ENTERPRISE ABOUT THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.

[4. Report from Partner Agency - Florida's Turnpike Enterprise - Sawgrass Expressway From West of US 441 to Powerline Rd Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study]

AND WE HAVE JOCELYN HAYWOOD HERE TO GIVE US THAT PRESENTATION.

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

AS I MENTIONED, MY NAME IS JASON HAYWOOD.

I'M THE TURNPIKE PROJECT MANAGER AS AN IN-HOUSE CONSULTANT FOR THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY FROM WEST OF US 441 TO POWERLINE ROAD PD IN THIS STUDY.

SO WE THANK YOU.

[01:10:01]

THE ENTERPRISE, THANKS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT ON THIS PROJECT.

IT IS GOING TO BE ABBREVIATED.

WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING, TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS NEXT WEEK, ONE VIRTUAL ON MONDAY AND ONE IN PERSON NEXT TUESDAY.

SO THIS IS AN ABBREVIATED PRESENTATION OF WHAT WILL BE SHOWN.

ALL RIGHT, SO WHY ARE WE LOOKING TO DO THE PROJECT? MY EYES IMPROVE REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY, ACCOMMODATE TRAVEL DEMAND IN 2045.

THAT'S OUR DESIGN YEAR, ENHANCE SAFETY AND IMPROVE REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY AND ENHANCE EMERGENCY EVACUATION.
