[4. Approval of Agenda]

GOOD AFTERNOON. WE HAD OUR FEDERAL CERTIFICATION ON APRIL 8TH AND 9TH WE HAVE THAT EVERY FOUR YEARS. OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS COME DOWN FROM THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, FEDERAL TRANSIT AND ADMINISTRATION. WE HAVE OUR PARTNERS FROM FDOT, BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT, SFRTA AND DOWNTOWN TMA. ALSO PARTICIPATE IN OUR FEDERAL CERTIFICATION. IT WAS OVER A TWO DAY PERIOD LIKE I SAID. IT WENT VERY WELL. WE PROBABLY WE WON'T HEAR THE RESULTS FOR PROBABLY ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO AND WE WILL SHARE THAT WITH YOU ALL HERE. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO WERE ABLE TO SHOW UP. I KNOW ANDREW WAS ABLE TO SHOW UP. JONATHAN WAS THERE, SO WE HAD SOME PARTICIPANTS. ALSO THE COMMENT PERIOD, LET'S SAY YOU DIDN'T GET TO ATTEND BUT YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE COMMENTS, WE HAVE SENT OUT SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE COMMENTS. THERE'S LINKS IN THERE. THAT COMMENT PERIOD'S OPEN 'TIL MAY 9TH. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE TOPICS FROM OUR PAGE THAT WE DISCUSSED. IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON ANY OF THOSE TOPICS OR ANY OTHER COMMENTS YOU WANT TO SUBMIT AS PART OF OUR REVIEW, OUR FEDERAL CERTIFICATION REVIEW YOU CAN DO THAT UNTIL MAY 9TH. THAT'S IT UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. THERE'S NOBODY IN THE QUEUE SO I GUESS THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, MIKE.

THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS. I WAS AT THE NPO MEETING LAST MONTH AND THEY BROUGHT THAT UP AND IT WAS SORT OF A LITTLE BIT OF A SUMMARY OF IT BUT IT WAS VERY WELL DONE. NUMBER SIX, 2045 MTP UPDATE. [INAUDIBLE] PETER GIES. HI

[6. 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Updates: http://www.browardmpo.org/index.php/commitment-2045-metropolitan-transportation-plan]

[00:05:02]

THAT WOULD BE YOUR SCOPE OF WORK, RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT, PARTNER COLLABORATION, AND GOOD COST ESTIMATES WHICH WE'LL BE WORKING CLOSELY WITH YOU ON. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THOSE PROJECTS READY TO BE PROGRAMED SO THAT WE DON'T RUN INTO A SITUATION WHERE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS THE PROJECT COMES UP FOR FUNDING AND THERE'S NO LONGER SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT OR THERE'S ISSUES WITH THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION, WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT THROUGH ALL THE ISSUES, THE PARTNERS HAVEN'T BEEN COLLABORATED WITH, SOE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO THAT OVER THE SUMMER FOR THIS DRAFT COST FEASIBLE LIST. AUGUST 1ST IS WHEN RESOLUTIONS WILL BE DUE FOR THOSE PROJECTS. SO IF YOU SEE A PROJECT THAT IS ON THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN THAT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU START THINKING ABOUT RESOLUTIONS NOW.

IT'S NOT TOO EARLY TO GET STARTED. SO I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT IF YOU SEE A PROJECT ON THERE THAT RESIDES IN YOUR JURISDICTION AND YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE NEEDING SUPPORT PLEASE GET THOSE RESOLUTIONS LINED UP. YOU CAN WORK WITH ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON LANGUAGE, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THE [INAUDIBLE] PROCESS YOU PROBABLY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE TYPE OF LANGUAGE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR WHEN IT COMES TO PROJECT SUPPORT AS PART OF A RESOLUTION. AND THEN FINALLY IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019 WE WOULD LIKE TO DO AN UPDATE BACK TO YOU ALL. BASED ON THE MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE WITH ALL OF OUR PARTNERS WE'D LIKE TO UPDATE YOU ON THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN AND LET YOU KNOW WHICH PROJECTS WERE ABLE TO GET PROGRAM READY AND IF WE HAD TO GO DOWN THE PRIORITIZED LIST OF PROJECTS IN ORDER TO MOVE ONE UP BECAUSE ONE PROJECT FELL OFF THE LIST WE WOULD LIKE TO UPDATE YOU AND LET YOU KNOW. SO THAT WOULD BE COMING UP THEN AFTER THE AUGUST 1ST DEADLINE PROBABLY IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019. SO AS I MENTIONED THESE ARE THE ELEMENTS TO MAKE A PROJECT PROGRAM READY. THE CLEAR ONE HERE THAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT. I THINK YOU ALL SHOULD START THINKING ABOUT THAT IF YOU DO HAVE A PROJECT AND AGAIN MAKING SURE THAT THE SCOPE OF WORK HAS BEEN CLARIFIED AND THAT YOU'RE WORKING WITH ALL THE APPROPRIATE PARTNERS SO IF YOU'VE PROPOSED A PROJECT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S FACILITY IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA TO START TALKING WITH THOSE PARTNERS. BUT AGAIN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WILL BE WORKING WITH YOU ALL ON OVER THE SUMMER WE'LL BE MEETING ONE ON ONE WITH YOU ON BRINGING ALL THE APPROPRIATE PARTNERS INTO THE ROOM. BUT AGAIN YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THAT YOURSELF IF YOU'D LIKE JUST TO GET THE BALL ROLLING ON THE RESOLUTION AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO INCLUDE US AS PART OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS AS WELL. SO WITH THAT HERE'S MY CONTACT INFORMATION AND THE CONSULTANT PROJECT MANAGER'S CONTACT INFORMATION AND ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED FOR THE COMMITMENT 2045 IS UP ON THE COMMITMENT2045.ORG WEB PAGE SO I'M HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS. IF NOT, YOU'LL BE SEEING ME AGAIN AT THE ACTION ITEM. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE TAC? I'LL HAVE ONE PETER UNTIL OTHER PEOPLE GET THEIRS TOGETHER IN THEIR HEAD. MANY MANY CITIES HAVE MANY PROJECTS IN THIS TWENTY TO TWENTY FIVE YEAR PLAN. WHATEVER IT IS. SO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ONE RESOLUTION OR ARE YOU LOOKING FOR MULTIPLE RESOLUTIONS? PROJECT BY PROJECT. THE RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT REALLY PERTAIN TO THE PROJECTS THAT ARE ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRANSIT CATEGORIES FOR EXAMPLE THE PROJECTS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AS PART OF CSLIP OR THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN OR MOBILITY HUBS. SINCE THOSE ARE GONNA BE FUNDED ON A MORE ANNUAL CYCLE WE'LL BE DEALING WITH THOSE SEPARATE, BUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN WE'RE TALKING

[00:10:01]

JONATHAN ROBERSON. THANKS. I HAVE A SIMILAR QUESTION. NONE OF THESE PROJECTS CAN START UNTIL WHAT 2026? 2025. OKAY, SO YOU NEED RESOLUTIONS NOW FOR 2025? CORRECT, YES. THAT SEEMS LIKE IT WON'T QUITE WORK, BUT I GUESS IF THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. I MEAN COMMISSIONS BOARDS CHANGE DA DA DA DA. SO WILL THERE BE ANY KIND OF, I DON'T KNOW, NOT PADDING BUT KIND OF SPREAD ON THIS? WHERE MAYBE AS YOU GET TOWARDS 2045 [INAUDIBLE] OUR PROJECTS. HELP ME HERE. WHAT DO WWE HAVE SOME KIND OF RANGE? I DON'T KNOW. MIKE IF YOU WANT TO JUMP IN HERE FIRST? SURE. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT AND THE RESOLUTIONS ARE THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT WE'VE HAD WHEN IT COMES TO PROGRAMMING FUNDS. SO KEEP IN MIND AS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR AND PETER'S GONNA GO OVER THIS MORE, BUT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS YOU'RE APPROVING TODAY IS THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN. AND IT'S A LIST OF PROJECTS IN PRIORITY ORDER. WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE IN JUNE IS I THINK IT'S JUNE OR MAY APPROVAL OF THE PRIORITIES LIST WHICH WILL HAVE THESE PROJECTS ON IT. THIS IS AN EARLY CYCLE WITH FDOT IN ORDER TO GET PROGRAMMED FOR FUNDING, PARTICULARLY AT THE HIGHER RANKED PROJECTS, IN ORDER TO GET PROGRAM FOR FUNDING EVEN IN '26 A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT IS NEEDED NOW IN ORDER TO GET FUNDING IN THE FIFTH YEAR OF THE NEW WORK PROGRAM. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE SAYING GET YOUR RESOLUTIONS TOGETHER. NOW IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DON'T HAVE A RESOLUTION, BUT THE PROGRAMMING IS GOING TO START AUGUST 1ST, I BELIEVE WITH FDOT, IF THERE'S NOT A RESOLUTION EVEN IF YOUR PROJECT IS NUMBER ONE WE WOULD HAVE TO SKIP IT FOR FUNDING AND WE'D GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THAT'S WHY WE'RE SAYING GET YOUR RESOLUTIONS BECAUSE IF YOU'RE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST YOU WANT THEM TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY MIGHT BE AVAILABLE FOR FUNDING IN THE UPCOMING CYCLE. AND IF I MAY JUST ADD ONE THING ONTO THAT AS WELL IS RESOLUTION THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS NOT THE LAST RESOLUTION WE'LL BE ASKING FROM THE BOARD. AS PART OF THE PROGRAMMING PROCESS AND PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS AND THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS YOU KNOW WE ASKED FOR RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS. SO THIS IS JUST A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU SECURE YOUR SPOT ON THE LONG RANGE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN, MAKING SURE THAT YOU MAINTAIN THAT SPOT ON THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN. THANK YOU. THOMAS GOOD. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. I'D SAY MEMBER JOHNSON BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT AND HEARING WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT MULTIPLE RESOLUTIONS AND THINGS. SO IF WE'RE THIS FAR OUT IS IT OK TO PUT A DISCLAIMER IN THE RESOLUTION. I THINK YOU CAN SAY FOR WHAT TIME BAND IT'S FUNDED FOR, ABSOLUTELY, AND SAY THAT THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY IDENTIFIED IN THE BROWARD MPO'S METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN COST FEASIBLE PLAN FOR THE TIMEFRAME X, BUT ARE SEEKING A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT TO KEEP THAT PROJECT ON THE LIST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN MOVE FORWARD AS PART OF OUR FUNDING CYCLES. SO I'M THINKING MORE IN TERMS OF PROVIDING IT DOESN'T CREATE SOME ADVERSE IMPACT TO A COMMUNITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW THIS IS WAY CONCEPTUAL FIVE YEARS OUT AND WHEN YOU START GETTING DOWN INTO THE DETAILS IT COULD START IMPACTING HOW THE COMMUNITY PERCEIVES THE PROJECT. SO I MEAN I AGREE I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA AS YOU GO THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT YOU DO REGULAR CHECKS MAYBE BY A RESOLUTION AS YOU'RE CALLING IT TO ENSURE THAT IT'S HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. BUT THIS FAR OUT I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IF I WAS PUTTING A RESOLUTION OR MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO [INAUDIBLE] COMMISSION FOR A RESOLUTION THAT BASICALLY SAYS SO LONG AS IT'S NOT ADVERSELY IMPACTING THE COMMUNITY I'M GOING TO DEFER TO MIKE ON THAT ONE. A COUPLE OF THINGS TO REMEMBER AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE PROGRAM READY BUT ONE OF THEM WE WANT YOU TO ALSO THERE SHOULD BE SOME UNDERSTANDING RIGHT NOW AS IF YOUR COMMISSION. I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM IS THERE SHOULD BE SOME UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED YOU'VE KIND OF REACHED OUT TO YOUR COMMUNITIES AND YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE SUPPORTED. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE GET TO IS A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT MAYBE WE GET FROM THE COMMISSION, BUT THEN WHEN WE GO TO THE COMMUNITIES IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS BECOMES A PROBLEM BECAUSE NOW IT'S ALREADY IN THE FUNDING CYCLE. SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS HOPEFULLY AS

[00:15:04]

SO I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT SUCH FOR YOU KNOW MY FELLOW MEMBERSHIP HERE THAT YOU KNOW WHEN YOU MAKE THIS RECOMMENDATION TO YOUR COMMISSION YOU KNOW MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU YOURSELF ARE IN A SAFE PLACE. RIGHT. YOU KNOW? AND WE CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE THAT JUST LIKE THIS WE WEREN'T EXPECTING WHEN IT COMES TO OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE EVERYBODY RALLYING AROUND IT BECAUSE IT IS OUT IN THE FUTURE, BUT IF YOU'RE HEARING ANY GRUMBLINGS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE PROJECT IT MIGHT SAY NO WE SHOULDN'T GO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE SUPPORT RIGHT NOW. HOPEFULLY, YOU'RE DOING THAT EARLIER ON. IF YOU KNOW THAT MAYBE YOUR COMMISSION HAS ALSO GOTTEN REQUESTS THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO A FACILITY THAT'S A GOOD INDICATION THAT THIS SHOULD MOVE FORWARD. HOPEFULLY THAT'S BEING DONE, YOUR COMMISSION CAN SUPPORT IT. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE FINDING IS IS THAT THERE'S GONNA BE SOME THAT ARE GOING TO BE MUCH FURTHER OUT. BUT REMEMBER THIS HAPPENS WITH CSLIP. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE AND IT MIGHT NOT BE FIVE YEARS OUT IT COULD BE ONLY FOR THREE YEARS OUT. BUT WE WANT TO BE READY THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE NOT QUITE SHOVEL READY BUT CLOSE TO GETTING THE SUPPORT THAT WE NEED. AND IT'S GOING TO BE I THINK AN ANNUAL UPDATE TOO IS REVIEW IT, MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE STILL YOU KNOW IF IT'S A PROJECT THAT'S FURTHER DOWN ON THE LIST MAYBE YOU GOT A RESOLUTION A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO IS THAT STILL SUPPORTED BEFORE WE START DOING PROGRAMMING? BECAUSE THINGS DO CHANGE LIKE YOU SAID, COMMISSION CHANGES, COMMUNITY CHANGES, MAYBE IT'S NOT SUPPORTED, BUT AT LEAST TO START THAT'S WHAT WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING FOR. AND THANK YOU AND I DON'T DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO AND I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT.

SO BUT AGAIN LIKE I SAID I JUST WANT TO THINGS ARE YOU KNOW AND THAT'S PROBABLY MAYBE LENDS ITSELF TO A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION ABOUT MOVING IT FROM A FIVE YEAR PLAN MAYBE TO A THREE YEAR FUNDING PLAN. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT SHORTER CLOSER AND YOU KNOW COMMITTABLE THAT'S A VERY GOOD COMMENT. WE'RE TRYING TO DO THAT, YES. THANK YOU. TWO QUICK COMMENTS THAT I'M GOING TO ADD TO THAT IS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE WORKED DIRECTLY WITH US YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT A HANDS OFF ORGANIZATION. WE'RE VERY MUCH HANDS ON. WE WORK WITH YOU WE COME TO YOU WHEN THE PROJECT GETS CLOSER EITHER FOR FUNDING OR DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION AND I THINK THE INTENT IS TO KEEP THAT CONVERSATION OPEN AND MAKING SURE THAT WE REAFFIRM WITH ADDITIONAL RESOLUTIONS. AND THE SECOND POINT JUST LEFT ME ACTUALLY. IT WAS A GOOD ONE THOUGH [LAUGHTER]. I'M SURE IT'LL COME BACK. I'LL REMEMBER IT. IT'LL COME BACK. KAREN WARFEL. I'LL JUST ADD I AGREE. I HAD A LONG CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS THIS MORNING AND THERE'S A LOT OF FLYOVERS OR THERE'S GRAYED SEPARATIONS IN HERE AND A COMMUNITY MIGHT BE OKAY WITH BELOW BUT NOT ABOVE HAVING A COMMISSION SAY WE'RE OKAY WITH GRAYED SEPARATION AT THIS POINT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT IS IS A LITTLE FRIGHTENING. FROM THE STAFF SIDE YOU KNOW WE'RE TELLING OUR COMMISSION SOMETHING. SO AND WE WERE GOING TO LOOK AT JUST KIND OF MORE BASIC LANGUAGE WE SUPPORT MOVING FORWARD WITH A PROJECT PENDING FURTHER OUTREACH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THAT PROJECT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REALLY SAY THEY SUPPORT SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS YET. SO I THINK THAT MIGHT WORK A LITTLE BIT BETTER. AND I THINK THAT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT AND PROBABLY WHERE WE'D STAND ON THAT AS FAR AS THE RESOLUTION FOR THE MTP. AND THE POINT THAT IT WAS GONNA BRING UP THAT I JUST REMEMBERED, KAREN YOU JOGGED MY MEMORY, IS THAT THE MEETINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE OVER THE SUMMER WITH YOU. WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING EACH ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS INDIVIDUALLY AND WE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT, WHAT WE

[00:20:01]

AM I PLEDGING MONEY NOW? DO WE HAVE THIS MONEY BUDGETED? YOU KNOW IS WHAT'S GOING ON. IT'S KIND OF HARD FOR ME TO SAY OKAY NO THIS ISN'T A 40 YEAR LONG RANGE PLAN. IT'S NOT EVEN GOING TO SHOW UP IN OUR CIP. WHAT ARE THEY PLEDGING. LIKE WHERE IS THE FUNDS? YOU KNOW IS THERE A LOCAL MATCH? WHAT IS IT. WHAT'S THE PROJECT? DO YOU HAVE [INAUDIBLE]? WE HAVE NO INFORMATION. ERIC, I THINK THAT'S PART OF WHAT OVER THE SUMMER PETER'S GOING TO BE WORKING OUT OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE IN THESE. SOME OF THEM ARE NOT AS YOU KNOW I KNOW SOMETIMES THERE'S COULD BE VERY FORMAL RESOLUTIONS WITH A LOT OF DETAILED LANGUAGE. THERE'S GOING TO BE CERTAIN LANGUAGE, BUT THERE'S ALSO GONNA BE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S THE REALISTIC TIMEFRAME OF WHEN THESE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO OCCUR. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WON'T YOU KNOW THERE'S A PLUS AND MINUS TO BOTH SIDES OF IT AND WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND IT. OUR BOARD HAS BEEN STRUGGLING WITH IT I THINK ALSO BACK AND FORTH OF YOU KNOW WE GET A RESOLUTION, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO SEE SOME PROGRESS ON IT.

AND THAT'S GOOD. WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT NOW IS A REASONABLE PROGRESS POLICY.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE IS IT'S MOVING FORWARD AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SOMEBODY JUST CHANGES THEIR MIND, A COMMISSION'S CHANGED THEIR MIND AND NOW IT'S FAILED. BECAUSE KEEP IN MIND A LOT OF THE DESIGN THERE'S MONEY INVOLVED

[00:25:05]

YOU KNOW MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T MISS OUT ON SOMETHING, BUT ALSO NOT BE TOO UNREASONABLE WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT WE NEED FOR THE DOCUMENTATION TO AT LEAST MOVE A PROJECT FORWARD. AT THIS LEVEL WILL IT BE HELPFUL TO JUST HAVE ONE BLANK RESOLUTION FOR EACH MPO PROGRAM? SO SAY INSTEAD OF YOU KNOW THE CITIES GOING THROUGH AND SAYING YOU KNOW WE HAVE A RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROJECT, THAT PROJECT, THAT PROJECT, WE HAVE A RESOLUTION FOR THE MTP PLAN. [INAUDIBLE] TEMPLATE. YEAH. SO LIKE WE YOU KNOW THE CITY COMMISSION HAS REVIEWED IT WE'RE IN AGREEANCE WITH IT, SO THAT WAY WE'RE NOT JUST SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL PROJECTS, BUT WE'RE SUPPORTING YOU KNOW OUR REGIONAL PROJECTS AS WELL. SO THAT THAT WAY THEY UNDERSTAND LIKE OKAY YOU KIND OF KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE FOR YOU. YOU KNOW THAT YOU SUPPORT THE GENERAL CONCEPT AND IDEA THAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU AND THAT'S IN THE PLAN, BUT YOU'RE NOT GETTING INTO THE SPECIFICS OF I'M PASSING A RESOLUTION FOR THIS YOU KNOW INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT OR THIS. YOU KNOW IT'S NOT SO VAGUE. SO THAT THEN ONCE YOU GET TO THAT LEVEL OF ANALYSIS AND YOU'VE YOU KNOW WORKED EVERYTHING OUT. NOW YOU CAN COME BACK TO THEM AND SAY OKAY WE'RE PLEDGING THIS MUCH LOCAL SUPPORT, WE'RE PLEDGING THIS CONCEPT. IT'S MORE DETAILS IN THE MINUTE, SO THAT IF A PROJECT IS YOU KNOW NUMBER 27 ON A LIST AND YOU NEVER GET TO IT YOU NEVER HAVE TO BOTHER THEM WITH IT, BUT YOU KNOW IT'S KIND OF LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HIM AND WE'RE MAKING PROMISES THAT WE MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP. AND WE HAVE A VERY TRAFFIC CONSCIOUS COMMISSION WHERE OUR RESIDENTS ALWAYS COMPLAINING ABOUT TRAFFIC TRAFFIC TRAFFIC. THEY WANT THINGS FIXED, THEY WANT IT NOW. AND YOU KNOW WE KEEP COMING WITH THESE RESOLUTIONS AND WE'RE LIKE OH NO THAT'S GOING TO BE FIVE YEARS, THAT'S 10 YEARS, AND THEY'RE LIKE WHAT ARE YOU BOTHERING US NOW FOR. NOW WE START GETTING LACK OF PARTICIPATION AND PEOPLE STOP SHOWING UP TO THE MEETINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE NOTHING IS EVER GETTING DONE. THAT GUY JUST TALKS YOU KNOW. SO TRYING TO AVOID THAT.

YEAH. WELL WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND YOUR STRUGGLE. I DON'T KNOW PETER IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT, BUT WE WILL BE AGAIN. I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS IS WITH THIS APPROVAL TODAY IT'S NOT THE END. IT'S REALLY JUST STARTING TO WORK ON THESE PROJECTS TO GET THEM WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. AND OVER THE SUMMER IT'S GONNA BE VERY IMPORTANT WHERE WE CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THE INDIVIDUAL CONCERNS BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF COMMONALITY, BUT ALSO SOME CITIES MIGHT HAVE SOME DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT WE WANT TO ALSO BE ABLE TO WORK THROUGH. AND I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE PURPOSE OF THE SUMMER MEETINGS. YEAH EXACTLY RIGHT. I THINK THAT YOU KNOW COMING UP WITH TEMPLATES AND MAYBE BEING ABLE TO PUT ALL THE PROJECTS ON THAT TEMPLATE AS WELL SO THAT YOU CAN JUST BRING ONE RESOLUTION TO THE COMMISSION THAT DEFINITELY UNDER CONSIDERATION SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT. SO WE WON'T MAKE THE PROCESS BURDENSOME FOR YOU. AND I THINK ERIC TO YOUR POINT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO FRUSTRATE THE COMMISSION, BUT WE NEED TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROJECT THAT'S IN THE LONG RANGE PLAN AND THAT THEY'VE SEEN IT AS WELL. WOULD THERE BE ABILITIES THAT PROVIDE RESOLUTIONS AFTER AUGUST 1ST? THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON. RIGHT NOW THE DEADLINE IS AUGUST 1ST. WE REALLY NEED THAT. SO WE'LL HEAR ABOUT IT AGAIN MAYBE NEXT MEETING ALSO. SURE. I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO REMIND THE TAC. YES.

AND THE MPO BOARD AS WELL. OKAY. SO THERE'S NOBODY ELSE IN THE QUEUE. LET'S GET ONTO THE ACTION ITEMS. LET'S GET INTO THE REALLY GOOD STUFF HERE. WE'RE GONNA LOOK

[1. MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE Amendments to the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2018/19 - 2022/23 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP): A. FM# 4433421 Broward County Transit (BCT) Section 5339(c) B. FM# 4377931 Pompano Park Pl/SW 3rd Street From Powerline Road to Cypress Creek Road C. Incorporate PM2, PM3 and TAM Performance Measures and Targets in the TIP D. Additional funding for Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Projects]

[00:30:03]

10 ELECTRIC BUSES. 10 ELECTRIC BUSED. HOW MUCH DO THOSE THINGS COST? THERE ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND APIECE. YEAH. OK.

ELECTRIFY THE FLEET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AND SO THIS IS REALLY JUST THE SECOND GRANT. WE'RE ACTUALLY APPLYING FOR ANOTHER ONE. AND THERE'S ALSO SOME ELECTRIC EXPRESS BUSES GOING OUT ON I-75 I BELIEVE NEXT SPRING WITH THE I-75 EXPRESS SERVICE. SO ALL GOOD I HOPE AND HOPE TO SEE MORE OF THESE. IT'S NICE TO RAID WASHINGTON A LITTLE BIT HERE. HEY, GET IT WHILE YOU CAN. KAREN WARFEL. WHAT'S YOUR TIMELINE ON THAT? WHEN DO YOU THINK THAT YOU'LL GET THE BUSES? WELL, AN EARLY TIMELINE EXCUSE ME IS A SPRING 2021 ROLL OUT FOR THESE BUSES. SO NOT QUITE SURE WHEN WE'D GET THE BUSES. I THINK THERE'S ABOUT A SIX MONTH KIND OF TESTING AND QUALITY REVIEW TIME, SO 2020 FOR THESE OTHER EXPRESS BUS 45 FOOT OVER THE ROAD COACH ELECTRIC BUSES SPRING, BUT THE SPRING OF 2021 FOR THESE. SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN SPREAD THESE ON DIFFERENT ROUTES IN DIFFERENT CITIES AND ALL OF THAT.

YOURSELF? NO NO, WE'RE PROCURING IT OURSELF. WELL.

NUMBER B, AH LETTER B. WHY? POMPANO PARK, 3RD STREET POWERLINE [INAUDIBLE] FROM THE TIP. WHY? WHO CAN TELL ME WHY? THIS WAS JUST A QUESTION I HAD MY NOTES HERE.

[INAUDIBLE] HAD TO LEAVE, SO I'M JUST HERE YOU KNOW FOR HIM. OH. FOR THIS PROJECT WE HAD A MEETING WITH CITY OF POMPANO. FDOT HAD DELETED THIS PROJECT FROM THEIR WORK PROGRAM BECAUSE THE CITY OF POMPANO WAS CONDUCTING A TRAFFIC STUDY TO KIND OF LIKE YOU KNOW TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT [INAUDIBLE] WAS POSSIBLE AND THE TRAFFIC STUDY IS BASICALLY DONE AND IT WAS APPROVED BY OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION AS VIABLE. SO WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO DO THE LANE ELIMINATION FOR THEM, BUT THIS IS PART OF A SURTAX PLAN. SO WE HAVE THIS PROJECT AS PART OF OUR SURTAX SO IT'S GOING TO OCCUR IN PROBABLY THE NEXT IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE SURTAX PROJECTS. OKAY? BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE FOUR LANE IN ONE SECTION AND THEN THEY HAVE SIX LANE AND THEN THEY HAVE A FOUR LANE. [INAUDIBLE] SIX LANE WOULD BE FROM SIX TO FOUR TO MAKE IT CONTINUOUS AND PROVIDE ONE FOR A BUFFERED BICYCLE LANE ALL THE WAY THROUGHOUT. SO IF IT'S PART OF THE SURTAX WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE? IS IT GETS FUNDED SOONER? THE ADVANTAGE IS THERE IS FUNDING FOR IT. THIS IS WHAT'S IN THE TIP.

NOT FUNDING? STAFF YEAH WE DO HAVE FUNDING IN THE TIP THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY REMOVING. THE REASON WHY THAT THIS PROJECT IS BEING DELETED IS BECAUSE AS ROGER SAID THERE WAS A STUDY BEING CONDUCTED BY A POMPANO. OBVIOUSLY WE COULDN'T MEET THE DEADLINE ESTABLISHED BY FDOT TO GET THE PROJECT PROGRAMMED, SO IT HAD TO BE DELETED. BUT I THINK THE BETTER NEWS IS THAT BOTH POMPANO AND THE COUNTY ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH GETTING THIS PROJECT IMPLEMENTED THROUGH OTHER SOURCES. SO LIKE THE SURTAX. SO THAT'S GONNA ACTUALLY HELP US GET THE PROJECT DONE SOONER. THE REASON WHY IT'S BEEN DELETED BECAUSE WE JUST COULDN'T GET THE RESOLUTION IN PLACE TO GET THE PROJECT PROGRAM. RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FROM

[00:35:05]

WE'RE READY TO MAKE A VOTE HERE. DID WE JUMP THE GUN HERE ON YA? OH THERE YOU ARE. ALL RIGHT. THANKS PETE. I THINK WE'RE APPROVED. WE'RE GOOD? WE'LL MOVE ON TO ACTION ITEM NUMBER

[2. MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Draft Cost Feasible Plan (Presentation 3 of 3)]

THIS IS NOW THE THIRD PRESENTATION OUT OF THREE ON THE DRAFT COST FEASIBLE PLAN.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WITH RESPECT TO THE PRIORITIZATION OF THE PROJECTS AND THEN ALSO THE FINAL DRAFT COST FEASIBLE PLAN AND THE ALLOCATION. I'M LOOKING AROUND I SEE MOST OF YOU WERE HERE FOR LAST MONTH'S PRESENTATION JUST BY SHOW OF HANDS WHO IS NOT HERE FOR LAST MONTH'S PRESENTATION? OKAY. SO THERE WERE A COUPLE OF YOU. A LOT OF THIS PRESENTATION IS REVIEW SO IF YOU WERE HERE I APOLOGIZE, BUT I SEE THAT THERE WERE QUITE A FEW SO I'LL SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AND GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION FROM LAST MONTH AS WELL.

WE ALSO MADE SOME TWEAKS TO THE PRESENTATION AND THE MATERIAL THAT WE PROVIDED TO THE TAC BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM SOME OF YOU AT LAST MONTH'S WORKSHOP. SO I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WITH RESPECT TO A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ON THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS, WHAT WE FELT AS THOUGH THEY DID DO AND WHAT THEY DIDN'T DO, AND ALSO A LITTLE BIT BETTER BREAKDOWN ON THE FUNDING FOR MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT AS PART OF THE PRESENTATION, BUT I DO WANT TO STRESS THAT WE ARE TAKING ACTION TODAY. THERE OF COURSE WILL BE A CHANCE TO COMMENT AFTER THE PRESENTATION. JILL QUIGLEY IS HERE FROM TINDALE OLIVER AS WELL WHO WILL BE HELPING ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. SO THE REQUEST FROM THE TAC AND CAC THIS EVENING WILL BE AN ENDORSEMENT OF THE DRAFT COST FEASIBLE PLAN SCENARIO, AND THIS WILL ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH VERIFYING PROJECTS TO GET THEM PROGRAM READY. I DISCUSSED THIS AS PART OF THE UPDATE A FEW MINUTES AGO. AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS ENDORSEMENT IS GONNA ALLOW US TO DO IS ALLOW US TO WORK WITH THIS LIST OF PROJECTS IN PRIORITIZED ORDER, START WORKING ONE ON ONE WITH YOU IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THAT PROGRAM READINESS IN ADVANCE OF THE MTP ADOPTION WHICH IS SLATED FOR THE END OF THIS YEAR AROUND DECEMBER. SO SOME OF THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WE USED AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DRAFT COST FEASIBLE PLAN IS WE OBVIOUSLY WANTED TO USE THE PROJECT PRIORITIZATION PROCESS THAT WAS ENDORSED BY THE TAC AND CAC AND ULTIMATELY THE MPO BOARD IN OCTOBER OF 2018 AND WE USED THAT IN ORDER TO HELP BUILD THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN. WE ALSO WANTED TO HELP ENHANCE SOME OF THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE COMMITTEES AND THE MPO BOARD IN THE MPO REVENUE SOURCES AND HOW THOSE REVENUE SOURCES FLOW DOWN FROM THE STATE AND ULTIMATELY ARE APPLIED TO THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN. WE OBVIOUSLY WANTED TO MATCH IDENTIFIED NEEDS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM YOU ALL AND THROUGH OUR OWN ANALYSIS TO THOSE AVAILABLE REVENUES. AND I THINK THE LAST BULLET POINT IS ONE THAT WE REALLY WANT TO HIT ON IS THAT WE WANTED TO OPTIMIZE THE USE OF THE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS TO COMPLEMENT AVAILABLE STATE AND COUNTY FUNDS IN THE REGION FOR TRANSPORTATION. I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT THOSE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS ARE ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WEREN'T HERE LAST MONTH. SO BIG PICTURE. TOTAL REVENUES AVAILABLE, STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORTATION IN THE REGION THROUGH 2045, EIGHT POINT THREE BILLION DOLLARS. NOW THE GOOD NEWS WITH THAT IS THAT IS THAT THAT'S 50 PERCENT MORE THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY FORECASTED IN THE 2040 LONG RANGE PLAN.

SO THAT MEANS THERE'S MORE MONEY. I'VE MENTIONED MANY TIMES THAT THIS KIND OF GOES ON AN EBB AND FLOW CYCLE SO THAT PROBABLY MEANS IN FIVE YEARS WE'LL HAVE LESS THAT'S BEING FORECASTED JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE ECONOMY CYCLES AS WEL,L BUT WE'RE IN GOOD TIMES RIGHT NOW SO THE REVENUES ARE FORECAST TO BE FAIRLY HIGH.

NOW IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOTAL AVAILABLE REVENUES OF 8.3 BILLION DOLLARS  YOU'LL SEE THE BLUE PORTION OF THE PIE AND THE GREEN PORTION OF THE PIE. I DO WANT TO FOCUS IN ON THE GREEN PORTION OF THE PIE. THE GREEN PORTION OF THE PIE THOSE FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ARE FUNDS THAT ARE DIRECTLY ALLOCATED TO THE

[00:40:02]

AND THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN CAN ACTUALLY IDENTIFY CAPACITY PROJECTS FOR THE STATE SYSTEM BASED ON THAT. BUT AGAIN THOSE FUNDS HAVE STRINGS TIED TO THEM SO THEY'RE NOT PARTICULARLY FLEXIBLE LIKE THE ONES ARE IN THE GREEN PORTION OF THE PIE. SO MOVING FORWARD IN THIS PART OF THE PRESENTATION I'M GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON THE GREEN PORTION OF THE PIE. THE FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS THAT ARE DIRECTLY ALLOCATED TO THE MPO FOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS. SO FOR THE DRAFT COST FEASIBLE PLAN WHAT WE DID IS WE DID A LARGE CALL FOR PROJECTS. WE MET WITH MANY OF YOU IN MARCH, APRIL, MAY, AND JUNE OF LAST YEAR AND ASKED FOR YOUR NEEDS AND WE GOT ALL OF THOSE NEEDS. AND WHAT WE DID AS WELL IN THE MEANTIME AS WE CAME UP WITH SIX DIFFERENT FUNDING PROGRAMS. WE CAME UP WITH A HIGHWAY PROGRAM, A TRANSIT PROGRAM, A TRANSIT SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION SLASH SAFETY PROGRAM, AND THEN WE ALSO HAD SOME EXISTING PROGRAMS. OUR COMPLETE STREETS AND LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM, OUR COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN, AND ALSO OUR MOBILITY HUBS, AND WE TOOK EACH OF THOSE PROJECTS AND ALLOCATED THEM TO A SPECIFIC PROGRAM. WITH THAT THEN WE TOOK THE AVAILABLE REVENUES FOR THE FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS OF MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS AND CAME UP WITH AN ALLOCATION SCENARIO, THREE DIFFERENT ALLOCATION SCENARIOS TO BE EXACT, ON HOW WE COULD DOLE OUT THOSE FUNDS BECAUSE AS I MENTIONED THE FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ARE VERY FLEXIBLE. WE CAN PUT THOSE IN ANY OF THE SIX FUNDING PROGRAMS. SO WE TRIED TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS IF WE PUT MORE MONEY INTO ONE PROGRAM VERSUS ANOTHER AND SEE HOW MANY PROJECTS WE COULD FUND AND WHAT THAT WOULD TELL US. SO THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP WITH THREE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS WHICH I'M GOING TO WALK THROUGH. SO AS I MENTIONED THESE ARE THE SIX FUNDING PROGRAMS. AS WE ALLOCATED REVENUES TO THOSE FUNDING PROGRAMS WE WERE ALLOWED TO SEE SOME OF THOSE TRADEOFFS. I DO WANT TO HIT ON THE FIRST THREE FUNDING PROGRAMS, THE HIGHWAY TRANSIT TSM&O ON SAFETY. THOSE ARE NEW PROGRAMS THAT WE ARE ESTABLISHING AS PART OF THE MPO FUNDING LINEUP. YOU ALL ARE PROBABLY VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE COMPLETE STREETS AND LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM, THE MASTER PLAN AND MOBILITY HUBS.

THE HIGHWAY AND TRANSIT PROGRAMS ARE ONES THAT ACTUALLY HAVE LISTS OF PROJECTS THAT YOU SEE AS PART OF THE ATTACHMENT YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE ARE CAPACITY PROJECTS BOTH ON AND OFF THE STATE SYSTEM AND THEY'RE ALSO TRANSIT PROJECTS THAT ARE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE LIST. THE OTHER FOUR PROGRAMS, TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT OPERATION AND SAFETY, CSLIP, MASTER MASTERPLAN AND MOBILITY HUBS ARE MORE PROGRAMMATIC IN NATURE. THEY'RE SET ASIDES OF FUNDING FOR THOSE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND THE ONES THAT WE'RE REALLY GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON TODAY ARE THE LIST OF PROJECTS ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRANSIT PROGRAM, BUT ALSO PAY ATTENTION TO THE ALLOCATION OF THE FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS TO THOSE OTHER DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS THAT I MENTIONED. SO WHY DID WE PICK THE THREE FUNDING SCENARIOS THAT I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT? WELL WE WANTED TO CONSIDER THE HISTORICAL FUNDING ALLOCATION SO WE WANT TO LOOK AT HOW WE SPENT THOSE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE DOLLARS IN THOSE PROGRAMS IN THE PAST EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T HAVE THE PROGRAMS FORMALLY ESTABLISHED WE KNOW THAT WE SPENT MONEY ON THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS. SO WE WENT BACK INTO PAST TIPS, PAST WORK PROGRAMS, AND LOOKED AT HOW MUCH MONEY WE WERE SPENDING, MPO DOLLARS FOR EACH OF THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS. WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE DEVELOPING SCENARIOS THAT EFFICIENTLY DISTRIBUTE FUNDING TO IDENTIFIED MEMBER GOVERNMENT NEEDS. SO BASED ON OUR OUTREACH TO YOU ALL ON THE PROJECTS THAT WE RECEIVED BACK THROUGH THE CALL FOR PROJECTS EFFORT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE ALLOCATING NPO CHARITABLE FUNDS TO MATCH THE LEVEL OF NEED IN EACH ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM YOU ALL. WE ALSO WANTED TO SUPPORT THE DISCUSSION ON THE OPTIMAL USE OF THOSE FUNDS. SO IN ADDITION TO MATCHING THE NEEDS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING ENOUGH FUNDING TO COVER AS MANY NEEDS AS WE CAN. WE WANTED TO BE AWARE OF THE OTHER TRANSPORTATION DOLLARS THAT ARE BEING SPENT IN THE REGION. FOR EXAMPLE FODT IS SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON THE STATE SYSTEM FOR CAPACITY PROJECTS ON THE STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM. THE BROWARD COUNTY JUST PASSED A SURTAX AND THEY'RE MAKING LARGE INVESTMENTS IN THE TSM&O, ITS, AND ATMS TECHNOLOGY IN THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK OR IN TRANSIT FOR EXAMPLE AS WELL. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE POSITIONING THOSE MPO

SO WHAT DIS WE LEARN FROM THE SCENARIOS? WELL WE KNOW THAT THE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS ARE LIMITED. THEY'RE ONLY 7 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL FUNDING, BUT THE NEEDS FROM THE MEMBER GOVERNMENTS TO ACCESS THOSE FUNDS FOR LOCAL PROJECTS IN ORDER TO GET THAT FLEXIBLE FUNDING IS HIGH. SO UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T FUND EVERY SINGLE NEED THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO US PARTICULARLY FROM A LOCAL PERSPECTIVE, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE USING THOSE DOLLARS EFFICIENTLY. SO IN THAT SAME VEIN VARIATIONS IN THE SCENARIO PERCENTAGES, IF YOU'RE MOVING PERCENTAGES BY 2 OR 3 PERCENT ON THE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS YOU MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO FUND ANOTHER PROJECT AS A RESULT BECAUSE THOSE FUNDING AMOUNTS ARE SO SMALL. HOWEVER, WHAT THIS PROCESS DID ALLOW US TO DO IS SEE SOME OF THE TRADEOFFS BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT FUNDING SCENARIOS. YOU SAW FOR YOURSELF THAT TWEAKING THE THE ALLOCATION BY 10, 15 PERCENT HAS AN IMPACT OVERALL ON THE AMOUNT OF PROJECTS WE CAN FUND IN THE HIGHWAY TRANSIT CSLIP CSMP CATEGORIES. SO THIS IS STILL AN IMPORTANT POLICY DECISION BECAUSE YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS, THOSE FLEXIBLE FUNDS ARE BEING SPENT IN THE RIGHT PLACES AND THAT WE'RE ABLE TO LEVERAGE THE DOLLARS IN THE RIGHT WAY PARTICULARLY WITH ALL THE OTHER INVESTMENTS THAT ARE BEING MADE IN THE REGION. SO WITH THAT WE DID LEAVE

[00:55:06]

AND WE'D LIKE TO USE THAT FUNDING FOR CSLIP AND COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN AND MOBILITY HUBS TO ENHANCE THE ACCESS TO TRANSIT SINCE WE KNOW THAT BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT IS GOING TO BE MAKING A HUGE INVESTMENT IN THE TRANSIT NETWORK AND SERVICE HERE IN THE FUTURE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THOSE CONNECTIONS TO CORRIDORS. AND I'VE EVEN DISCUSSED WORKING WITH BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT TO PRIORITIZE PROJECTS THAT PROMOTE CONNECTIONS TO THEIR HIGH PRIORITY CORRIDORS AS IDENTIFIED IN THE SURTAX PLAN AS WELL. SO THIS IS THE PERCENTAGE HERE BREAKDOWN BASED ON SCENARIO 2, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION FROM MPO STAFF. ONE THING I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT OF THE DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS THAT YOU ALL HAVE ACCESS TO ALMOST ON AN ANNUAL BASIS FOR BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN NEEDS THAT MAKES UP ABOUT 55 PERCENT OF THE OVERALL ALLOCATION OF MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS. SO THAT IS A LARGE CHUNK OF THE PLAN. I THINK IF YOU GROUP IN SOME OF THE SAFETY FUNDING AS WELL THAT NUMBER GOES TO 60, 65 PERCENT IF YOU CONSIDER A LOT OF THE SAFETY PROJECTS COMING OUT OF OUR ROADWAY SAFETY AUDITS AND STUDIES ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE VERY BY BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN FOCUSED. SO WE THINK THAT THIS IS VERY COMPLEMENTARY TO THE INVESTMENTS BEING MADE IN THE REGION AGAIN TO HELP SUPPORT MULTI-MODAL MOBILITY, TO SUPPORT THE INVESTMENTS BEING MADE BY THE COUNTY, TO SUPPORT A LOT OF THE OTHER INVESTMENTS BEING MADE BY OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT AS WELL. AND AGAIN I DO WANT TO FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT THE HIGHWAY SECTION WE'RE STILL ABLE TO FUND ABOUT 12 OFF SYSTEM PROJECTS BY LEAVING THE 20 PERCENT OF FUNDING THERE. SO THE NEXT STEPS I BORROWED THIS SLIDE FROM MY UPDATE, BUT I DO WANT TO JUST HIT IT HOME AGAIN THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN ENDORSEMENT OF THE DRAFT COST FEASIBLE PLAN TODAY. MOVING FORWARD INTO THE SUMMER WE DO WANT TO ESTABLISH PROGRAM READY PROJECTS SO A LOT OF THE PROJECTS THAT YOU SEE AS PART OF THIS LIST WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH YOU ONE ON ONE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL THE PIECES IN PLACE, THE SCOPES OF WORK DEFINED THAT WE'RE MEETING WITH ALL THE APPROPRIATE PARTNERS.

AND THEN FINALLY AUGUST 1ST IS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR RESOLUTIONS TO BE DUE. AND AS YOU HEARD FROM THE ROBUST DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD AS PART OF THE UPDATE WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA BE WORKING WITH YOU ON A ONE ON ONE BASIS TO DECIDE WHAT NEEDS TO BE IN THOSE RESOLUTIONS AND WHAT THEY SHOULD ACTUALLY SAY AND WHICH PROJECTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THERE. SO WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. MR. CHAIR I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU. JONATHAN ROBERSON. HEY, THANKS PETER AND I LIKE THE HAIRCUT. THANKS. COMPARED TO LAST TIME. [LAUGHTER]. QUESTION ON TABLE 2-3 I THINK IT'S SCENARIO 2, IT'S THE SECOND EXHIBIT. I MAY HAVE MISSED THIS BEFORE ON THE TRANSIT PAGE, THE LAST PAGE FOUR. I SEE HOLLYWOOD PINES BOULEVARD RAPID BUS IS MARKED OFF FOR 2024-'25 AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE RAPID BUS IS 2026-2030. YEP. I THINK THAT WAS IN LINE WITH WHAT YOU ALL HAD PROPOSED AS PART OF THE SURTAX, BUT YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG HERE. I WILL CORRECT YOU. HOLLYWOOD IS SLATED IN THE COUNTY'S MOBILITY ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM, IT'S NOW CALLED, HOLLYWOOD PINES A YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION, AYEAR STARTING SERVICE IS SLATED FOR 2030. OK. AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE FOR 2033. SO I THINK THEY COULD JUST GO IN THAT IF THEY COULD GO IN THEIR APPROPRIATE BOX. SURE. AND I'M ASSUMING FINANCIALLY THAT WORKS, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT STOOD OUT AND I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS MONEY AVAILABLE IN 2024 MIKE. I'M GETTING EXCITED. WAS THERE ANY REASON WHY? I THOUGHT ALL THIS WAS MAYBE SOME OF THESE WERE ALREADY IN THE TIP. I THOUGHT PRE-2026 WOULD BE [INAUDIBLE]. NO? SO WHAT HAPPENED HERE IS THAT FOR OUR REVENUE FORECASTS SINCE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE NEW TIP AVAILABLE WE TRIED TO THEN MAKE AN ESTIMATION OF HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN '24. NOW THAT THE TIP WILL BE APPROVED WE'RE ACTUALLY JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT IN '25 AND THAT WOULD

[01:00:01]

SAME COMMENT AS LAST WEEK [INAUDIBLE] THE PRESENTATION FROM THE FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE. JUST YOU KNOW JUST ALWAYS TRYING TO SAY DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE SEAPORT. I KNOW THERE'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS COMING UP THAT [INAUDIBLE] ANY SEAPORT RELATED PROJECTS LISTED. I KNOW THERE WERE HIGH DEMANDS, BUT WE ALSO SUBMITTED CALL FOR PROJECTS. UNDERSTOOD. THANKS. THOMAS GOOD. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. SO I JUST I HAVE A QUESTION ON TABLE 2-4. SURE. [INAUDIBLE]. SO SCENARIO 2 WHICH IS WHAT YOU ALL ARE RECOMMENDING IS THAT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS PRESENTED LAST MEETING WHEN WE WERE DOING THE BIG WORKSHOP? SO THAT'S EXACTLY THE SAME? THAT IS CORRECT. PERCENTAGES? YES. AND SO THE DETAILS THAT WE WERE PROVIDED AT THAT TIME ARE STILL APPLICABLE? CORRECT. THIS LIST THAT YOU SEE, YEAH.

I'M I DON'T SEE THE LIST THAT I'M SPEAKING TO 'CAUSE YOU HAD A VERY DETAILED SPREADSHEET FOR EACH OF THESE SCENARIOS. SO THERE IS A LINK IN THE AGENDA ITEM THAT TAKES YOU TO THOSE DETAILED SPREADSHEETS. SO WE HAVE THE ATTACHMENTS AND THEN THERE'S A LINK IN THERE AS WELL THAT WE'LL TAKE YOU TO EACH OF THE DETAILED SPREADSHEETS. SO THE ONE THAT YOU'RE SEEING IS A CLEANED UP VERSION THAT WE ORIGINALLY PRESENTED LAST MONTH. BUT THERE SHOULD BE A LINK TO THE MPO WEBSITE IN THERE THAT GIVES YOU ACCESS THEN TO THE DETAILED SPREADSHEETS THAT WE PROVIDED AT THE LAST MEETING. OK. ONLY BECAUSE I'M USING. THIRD PARAGRAPH I THINK RIGHT, MIKE? OK. SO THE HPO, BROWARD MPO INDEX DOCUMENTS ET CETERA THAT'S THE ONE? YES. OKAY, VERY GOOD. OK. SO THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS THAT THESE PERCENTAGE ALLOCATIONS CAN BE CHANGED AT ANY TIME BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE MPO. IS THAT CORRECT? I WANT TO BE CAREFUL HOW I ANSWER THAT BECAUSE WE ALSO NEED SOME CONSISTENCY AS MPO STAFF WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH FDOT. TO PROGRAM THESE PROJECTS. SO I CAN'T SAY THAT WE CAN CHANGE THEM ON A WHIM LET'S SAY ON A MONTH BY MONTH BASIS. WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS PROBABLY FROM THE MPO BOARD'S PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE THIS CAME UP AS A DISCUSSION POINT IS THAT THERE THIS CAN BE CHANGED AS PART OF THE NEXT FIVE YEAR UPDATE CYCLE, CERTAINLY, YES. BUT I THINK ONCE YOU HAVE THE ALLOCATIONS IN PLACE WE PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THEM ON A YEAR TO YEAR BASIS BECAUSE THAT THEN DOESN'T ALLOW US TO BE CONSISTENT WITH FDOT AND THE TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT WE'RE PROGRAMMING, ESPECIALLY AS WE'VE GOT SOME IN THE PIPELINE. OK. SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDING, I MEAN THEY CAN BE CHANGED ANY TIME BY THE MPO, BUT YOU'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION OF A FIVE YEAR CYCLE TYPE OF THING. YES, AND I KNOW MIKE WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO JUMP IN HERE. YEAH, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS YOU WANT TO REMEMBER ALSO IS IT'S KIND OF TO SET THE TONE, AND WE DO AN UPDATE AND OBVIOUSLY AMENDMENTS CAN BE DONE. BUT KEEP IN MIND ALSO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO ALSO SEE IS THE PRIORITIES LIST THAT COMES OUT OF IT.

SO YOU'LL HAVE A PRIORITIES THAT SET AS PART OF THE MPP BASED ON WHAT'S APPROVED FOR WHAT SCENARIO IS APPROVED. OK? SO IT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A LIST OF PROJECTS THAT'S GOING TO FEED DIRECTLY INTO THE PRIORITIES LIST, WHICH IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD ANNUALLY AND REVIEWED BY YOU ALSO ANNUALLY. BUT THAT'S USED AS A GUIDE TO START PROGRAMMING THE FUNDING. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS IS YOU'LL START SEEING AS THE FUNDING STARTS TO GET ASSIGNED THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY THE BOARD HAS AS YOU ALL HAVE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO MOVE PROJECTS AROUND.

SO LET'S SAY YOU SEE THE PRIORITY AND THE FIRST PRIORITIES LIST AND IF THE BOARD CHOOSES TO THE BOTTOM PROJECT IF THEY WANT TO MOVE IT UP TO THE TOP YES THEY CAN DO THAT EVEN IF IT'S NOT DOING THE FULL YOU KNOW THE CYCLE THAT WAS RECOMMENDED. IF THEY DECIDE AT ANY OF THOSE WHEN THEY REVIEW THE PRIORITIES LIST IF THEY WANT TO TAKE A PROJECT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST AND MOVE IT UP TO THE TOP FOR FUNDING THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO DO THAT. SO THAT'S KIND OF A WAY TO LOOK AT IT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. OK. ALL RIGHT VERY GOOD. SO I'D LIKE TO JUST CLOSE BY SAYING THAT I THINK YOU ALL DID A DARN GOOD JOB OF TRYING TO STAY CLOSE TO WHAT THE MPO ORIGINALLY WENT

[01:05:03]

WE'RE STILL PRETTY HEAVY ON CAPACITY? SPENDING. OF COURSE. RIGHT. AND THIS IS DRIVEN BY POLICY THOUGH, THAT BLUE PART. I GUESS WHEN I LOOKED AT IT AND I DID MISS THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS SO I WAS TRYING TO PLAY A LITTLE CATCH UP AND I TALKED TO PETE A LITTLE BIT, BUT WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GRAPHS IT LOOKED AS IF THE PERCENTAGES DIDN'T REALLY MATTER MUCH WHEN YOU LOOKED AT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DOLLARS. WE'RE REALLY DEBATING OVER A VERY SMALL SMALL PERCENTAGE OF FUNDS, AND IT MAY MEAN A MILLION HERE A MILLION THERE, A COUPLE OF PROJECTS HERE, AND A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THERE. BUT THE HIGHWAYS STILL DOMINATE. YES. IN MY MIND, AND SO I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SCENARIO 3 BECAUSE I SAID I THINK HIGHWAY'S GETTING A LOT. YOU MENTIONED THAT THAT WOULD HELP LEVERAGE OTHER DOLLARS, HELP FUND SOME OF THESE OTHER HIGHWAY PROJECTS, HIGHWAY CAPACITY INCREASES AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING A MASSIVE INCREASE IN MASS TRANSIT. SO AGAIN I'M WITH THOMAS GOOD HERE IS THAT I THINK YOU DID A GOOD JOB OF PUTTING TOGETHER A LOT OF VARYING INTERESTS AND COMING UP WITH A VIABLE SOLUTION. I DON'T HEAR A LOT OF OPPOSITION TO IT ALTHOUGH IN SOME OF THE MINUTES IT LOOKED LIKE THERE'S SOME GOOD DEBATE LAST MONTH. AND MAYBE IT WAS ALL HASHED OUT, SO I DON'T SEE. WE DO HAVE A COUPLE MORE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO SPEAK NOW SO I'LL LET THEM GO. BUT I GENERALLY SUPPORT WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR. TO THAT POINT MR. CHAIR MAY I JUST ADDRESS YOUR COMMENT? YEAH. I THINK A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD IN THE MEETING WAS REALLY JUST WADING THROUGH HOW THE FUNDING WORKS, AND I APPRECIATE THAT ALL OF YOU WERE VERY PATIENT WITH ME AND I THINK THE REST OF US BECAUSE IT IS VERY COMPLICATED. A LOT OF IT IS POLICY DRIVEN. THERE ARE A LOT OF STRINGS ATTACHED. BUT TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE THE PREPONDERANCE OF HIGHWAY FUNDING YES IT IS A POLICY DECISION. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE ELECTED OFFICIALS CAN CHANGE. IT IS AT THE STATE LEVEL. SO UNLOCKING SOME OF THAT FUNDING IN THE BLUE PORTION OF THE PIE IS SOMETHING THAT THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN IS EXPLORING AND WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN A FUNDING SCENARIO IF THAT BLUE PORTION OF THE PIE THAT YOU FUND SLATED FOR STATE HIGHWAY PROJECTS COULD BE UNLOCKED AND USED FOR THINGS LIKE TRANSIT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE AND TRANSIT CAPITAL. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I THINK YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHEN THE RTP COMES UP HERE FOR A PRESENTATION BECAUSE THAT CAN HELP YOU ARM YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS TO START HAVING THAT CONVERSATION BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF FRUSTRATION FROM MEMBERS, AND I'LL BE HONEST ALSO FOR MYSELF AS I'M WORKING THROUGH THIS PLAN THIS IS MY FIRST ITERATION TO SAY THERE'S SO MUCH FUNDING ON THE TABLE AND OUR NEEDS AS AN URBAN AREA ARE VASTLY DIFFERENT THAN THOSE LET'S SAY IN OTHER PARTS OF FLORIDA THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY HERE FOR THIS FUNDING. BUT AGAIN THESE ARE THE CARDS THAT WE'RE DEALT AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH AS WELL, BUT PAY CLOSE ATTENTION DURING THE RTP FUNDING SCENARIO UPDATE AND DISCUSSION THAT SHOULD BE COMING HERE DURING THE SUMMER BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE GOING TO BE VERY VERY INTERESTED IN IN ORDER TO HELP ADVOCATE AT THE STATE LEVEL FOR MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBLE POLICY FOR URBAN AREAS TO USE THOSE FUNDS DIFFERENTLY OTHER THAN JUST HIGHWAY CAPACITY PROJECTS. KAREN. I JUST WANT TO ADD I THINK IT'S GREAT THE BUCKETS THIS YEAR THIS ROUND THAT WE'RE GOING AND ESPECIALLY THE SAFETY. YUP. I REALLY LIKE THE SAFETY. BUT I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE I THINK I SAID IT LAST TIME JUST SO THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT THE CSLIP IS GOING DOWN TO ABOUT IF YOU DO THE MATH OVER TWENTY FIVE YEARS IT'S DOWN TO ABOUT THREE PROJECTS A YEAR FROM WHAT WE'RE AT NOW. SO JUST EVERYBODY'S AWARE AND THAT THE COMPLETE STREETS YOU HAVE TO BE IN THAT PLAN IN ORDER TO QUALIFY. SO NOT EVERY CITY IS GETTING A PART. SO I THINK IT IS REDUCING IT A LITTLE BIT IN THAT CAPACITY. YES. AND GOOD POINT. AND ONE THING THAT I WILL SAY TO THAT IS MOBILITY HUBS WERE PART OF THE COMPLETE STREETS AND LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM. WE FOUND THAT BASED ON THE CRITERIA FOR THE COMPLETE STREETS AND LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM NO ONE WAS REALLY APPLYING FOR MOBILITY HUB FUNDING BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY MORE GEARED TOWARDS LINEAR TYPE PROJECTS THAT WERE PROVIDING BETTER CONNECTIVITY FROM A BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN STANDPOINT. SO THAT'S ONE REASON WHY WE'VE BROKEN OUT THE MOBILITY

[01:10:01]

AND LOOK, THE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS IF YOU TAKE THAT FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR MILLION AND DIVIDE THAT BY 25 YOU'LL SEE THAT THE ALLOCATION PER YEAR IS ONLY ABOUT 25 TO 30 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. SO WE WERE SPENDING A MAJORITY OF OUR MPO ATTRIBUTABLE DOLLARS IN CSLIP WHICH I THINK IS GREAT BUT WE WERE NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THE OTHER PIECES OF THE PUZZLE BY JUST SPENDING MONEY IN CSLIP. SO I THINK NOW TO KAREN'S POINT BY HAVING THESE PROGRAMS IT REALLY ALLOWS US TO PURPOSEFULLY DIRECT THE FUNDING IN DIFFERENT AREAS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE TAKING CARE OF THINGS LIKE SAFETY AND GEARING PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY FOR SAFETY OR FOR MOBILITY HUBS OR FOR THE MASTER PLAN. SO I THINK OVERALL IT'S A BETTER APPROACH THAN JUST PUTTING EVERYTHING INTO CSLIP. HOW WILL THE CONGESTION MITIGATION PLANS BE PRIORITIZED? AND WHEN YOU SAY THE CONGESTION MITIGATION PLANS? CSMP. OH, SORRY THAT'S COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN.

RIGHT. OH, I'M SORRY. YEAH. OF COURSE. THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN THAT CAME BEFORE YOU A FEW MONTHS AGO. THOSE PROJECTS WERE PRIORITIZED USING A SPECIFIC SET OF CRITERIA. I BELIEVE THAT THE TAC APPROVED THAT PLAN AND I KNOW RICARDO IS WORKING ONE ON ONE WITH MUNICIPALITIES RIGHT NOW ON THEIR PROJECTS TO GET THOSE PROGRAM READY AS WELL. THANK YOU. JONATHAN ROBERSON. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE LIST AGAIN, TABLE 2-1, COUPLE QUESTIONS. THREE QUESTIONS. AND I MEAN THESE WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SO LET ME PREFACE THAT. THE GRADE SEPARATION FOR THE RAILROAD CORRIDORS IS BASICALLY A FLYOVER RIGHT? I THINK THAT IS WHAT WE'RE GOING WITH AS FAR AS A SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE MTP, CORRECT. OKAY, SECOND QUESTION.

WHO ASKS FOR THE RESOLUTIONS FROM FEC ON THE FEC FLYOVERS? SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK OUT INTERNALLY BECAUSE YOU SEE A LOT OF THOSE PROJECTS THE SPONSOR IS BROWARD MPO. AND THE REASON WHY YOU SEE THOSE GRADE SEPARATIONS IS WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE E PLUS C NETWORK AT THOSE PARTICULAR INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE REMEMBER AS AN MPO WE STILL NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADHERING TO CONGESTION MITIGATION STRATEGIES. THAT'S PART OF THE THE FEDERAL REQUIREMENT, WE IDENTIFIED THOSE PROJECTS. SO I THINK WE WOULD PROBABLY BE WORKING WITH THE MUNICIPALITY IF THERE IS SUPPORT FROM THE MUNICIPALITY ALSO WORKING WITH FEC THEN ON THAT AS WELL. BUT I CAN TELL YOU AT THE LAST WEEK'S FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING, BOB LEDOUX WHO IS THE CHAIR FROM FECR EXPRESSED SUPPORT THAT IF ANY OF THESE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD THEY WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE SUPPORT IN ORDER TO HELP WITH THEIR ISSUES AS WELL BECAUSE IT WOULD BE MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL TO BOTH VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND ALSO FREIGHT MOVEMENT. OK. THIRD QUESTION IS FOR THE A COUPLE PROJECTS SAY SOUTH FLORIDA RAIL CORRIDOR. ONE SAYS CSX RAILROAD I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE THE SAME THING. CORRECT. [INAUDIBLE] NUMBER 14. I'M ASSUMING THE DECISION MAKER FOR SOUTH FLORIDA RAIL CORRIDOR IS RTA OR FDOT? YES. THE AIR RIGHTS FOR THOSE GRADE SEPARATIONS, SO THAT'S A LITTLE EASIER. I MEAN THAT'S A LITTLE MORE IN THE REGION? CORRECT. OK. THANK YOU. ERIC HOUSTON. I

[01:15:06]

IS THERE A MEASURE OR MEAN TO KIND OF OFFSET THAT FUNDING REDUCTION OR WHAT HAPPENS TO CSLIP NOW? CSLIP, AS PETER HAD SAID, THERE'S OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE'VE HAD NOW THAT WE WEREN'T FUNDING. SO THERE WAS A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT WERE IN THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN WE WEREN'T FUNDING ANY OF THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN. IT RECENTLY GOT ADOPTED. WE HAVE NOW A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT WERE SOME OF THEM REQUESTED BY MUNICIPALITIES THAT NOW WE CAN FUND THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR THROUGH CSLIP BECAUSE THERE ARE MUCH LARGER PROJECTS. WE ALSO ARE LOOKING AT MAKING SOME CHANGES TO THE CSLIP PROGRAM. YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THOSE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. SOME POLICY CHANGES, HOW THE PROJECTS ARE EVALUATED, SOME OTHER EFFORTS THAT ARE GOING. WE ALSO LOOKED AT THAT NOW BECAUSE THERE IS A SURTAX THERE'S BETTER OPPORTUNITIES TO GET ESPECIALLY THE SMALLER PROJECTS FUNDED, PROBABLY THROUGH SURTAX AS OPPOSED TO CSLIP BECAUSE CSLIP AGAIN MOST OF IT IS FIVE YEARS OUT YOU KNOW [INAUDIBLE] CERTIFIED DESIGN WHATEVER THAT NEEDS TO BE A PART OF IT GOING THROUGH THE HOOPS WHEREAS IF WE CAN GET IT PART OF A SURTAX PROGRAM, ESPECIALLY THOSE SMALLER PROJECTS, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET THEM IMPLEMENTED EARLIER. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM THE COUNTY I THINK NEXT MONTH ON THE STATUS OF THE SURTAX AND WHERE THEY ARE. BUT THAT WAS KIND OF OUR THOUGHT. WE'RE LOOKING AT FROM THE REGIONAL STANDPOINT OF WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE AVAILABLE SUCH AS MOBILITY HUBS, THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN, TSM&O BECAUSE WE DID EVEN GET A TSM&O FROM YOUR CITY THAT WAS THROUGH THE CSLIP BUT NOW WE HAVE THIS PROGRAM TSM&O AND SAFETY THAT THAT PROJECT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE FOR AT THE TIME IF WE WOULD HAVE HAD IT AT THE TIME. SO WHILE IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A DRASTIC REDUCTION, WHICH THERE IS, IN CSLIP BUT THERE'S OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT HAVE SPRUNG UP THAT CAN DO THOSE OTHER TYPES OF PROJECTS. SO WE'RE GOING TO PLAY IT THROUGH, WE'RE GONNA LEARN A LITTLE BIT.

LIKE I SAID IN NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS YOU'LL SEE SOME CHANGES TO CSLIP AND WE'LL LOOK TO SEE HOW THAT AFFECTS THE PROJECTS OVERALL. [INAUDIBLE] REMIND ME OF HOW WHEN WE DID THE RANKING FOR I GUESS PRIORITY AND WHAT WE WANTED TO PRIORITIZE HOW DID THE CSLIP CATEGORY RANK IN TERMS OF PRIORITY FOR THE MPO BOARD AND THE TAC BOARD? YOU MAY NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT. SO YOU MEAN WHERE WAS IT ON THE PRIORITIES LIST? YEAH, LIKE WHEN WE WERE RANKING AND LIKE WE WERE ASKED TO FUND AT DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF LIKE WHAT WE FELT WAS MOST IMPORTANT, AND I REMEMBER LIKE TRANSIT AND SOME OF THE OTHER CATEGORIES BEING ON THERE. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN [INAUDIBLE]. SO THE POLL THAT WE DID WAS FOR THE PROJECT PRIORITIZATION AND THAT WAS BASED ON THE DIFFERENT PLANNING FACTORS THAT WE HAD, THE MOBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY, SAFETY, I DON'T THINK CSLIP, IT WASN'T, WE WERE LOOKING MORE AT PLANNING FACTORS RATHER THAN FUNDING PROGRAMS AS PART OF THAT. FOR THE MPO BOARD I THINK YOU'LL SEE IN THE POLL THAT THEY, I THINK I DON'T HAVE IT LET ME SEE THE PERCENTAGES IN FRONT OF ME HERE FOR A SECOND. I JUST REMEMBER THERE BEING A PRESENTATION WHERE WE WERE ASKED TO RANK THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES FOR THE MPO AND I REMEMBER RANKING CSLIP RANKING PRETTY HIGH LIKE LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE TO THE TAC AND I THINK TO THE BOARD AS WELL.

SO I JUST I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO IT NOW, BUT COULD YOU JUST LOOK INTO THAT.

I DON'T KNOW [INAUDIBLE]. SURE. IT MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE BEEN AN MTP. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANOTHER DISCUSSION. OK. YEAH LET'S TALK OFF LINE ABOUT THAT THEN. AGAIN THE POLL THAT WE TOOK TO THE TAC CAC AND MPO BOARD WAS ON PROJECT PRIVATIZATION FOR THE SIX PLANNING FACTORS. AND THEN THE MPO BOARD DID A STANDALONE POLL ON THE FUNDING ALLOCATIONS AS A BASELINE. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE CSLIP HAD 22 PERCENT

[01:20:03]

NO MOTIONS? WE'RE NOT SHOWING IT. WELL, SHALL WE MOVE ON? [LAUGHTER]. OKAY, LET'S TRY AGAIN.

WHO'S FIRST? NOPE. HOLD ON A SECOND. GOOD TRY. I THINK WE MIGHT NEED TO DO A VOICE OVER THIS ONE. I DON'T WHY IT'S SUDDENLY DECIDED NOT TO WORK. OH THERE WE GO. AND WE WERE WAITING FOR KAREN I THINK [LAUGHTER]. ALL RIGHT. HOW ABOUT A SECOND? THERE IT IS. MICHAEL. OKAY, WE'RE READY TO VOTE. WE'VE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANDREW, IS THERE ONE MORE OUT THERE? WE'RE GOOD. I THINK IT PASSED. GOOD JOB PETER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND VERY QUICKLY WE WILL BE REACHING OUT TO YOU AFTER THE MPO BOARD VOTE IN MAY. WE'D LIKE TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU AND TALK ABOUT THOSE PROJECTS ONE ON ONE. WE'LL HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU AND THEN AS I SAID WE'LL BE REPORTING BACK TO YOU ALL IN SEPTEMBER AS WELL ON THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN. AS YOU ALL KNOW FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE CONTACTED ME FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A CALL ANYTIME. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT I DID TALK WITH YOU KNOW THAT I SPEND THE TIME WITH YOU AND SIT DOWN WITH YOU AND TRY AND WALK YOU THROUGH IT SO I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT ON ANY OF THE PROJECTS AS WELL ON THE ON THE PLAN. SO THANK YOU. MOVING FORWARD

[1. New Multimodal Priority List (MMPL) Format Presentation]

[01:25:01]

YOU MIGHT SAY HEY IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE THE TIP, BUT IT'S CLEANER. I HOPE. THE FIRST THING THAT YOU'LL NOTICE IS THE PRIORITY. FOR EACH LINE ITEM THAT A PROJECT HAS ON A PAGE THE PRIORITY WILL BE LOCATED IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND IT'LL BE A BIG BOLD ONE TWO THREE FOUR OR FIVE JUST AS YOU GO DOWN WITHIN THE PROGRAMS. EACH OF THE PRIORITIES WILL BE DIVIDED WITHIN THE PROGRAMS, SO THERE WILL BE SECTIONS FOR EACH PROGRAM. THE NEXT THING THAT YOU'LL NOTICE IS THE PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS.

THIS INCLUDES THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FM NUMBER IF THE PROJECT HAS ALREADY HAD ONE. ONCE IT'S GONE THROUGH THE FUNDING PROCESS OF FDOT, THE JURISDICTION OF WHERE THAT PROJECT IS LOCATED, THE PROGRAM THAT THE PROJECT FELL UNDER, AND THE TYPE OF WORK FOR THE PROJECT IS HOPING TO DO. AFTER THAT YOU'LL HAVE THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION. AND THIS IS THE REALLY GOOD STUFF. THIS IS THE STUFF THAT HELPS US TRACK A PROJECT SO THAT WHENEVER A MUNICIPALITY OR A LOCAL AGENCY ASKS US A QUESTION WE CAN IMMEDIATELY RESPOND BACK TO IT. AND ALSO THIS IS AN OUTWARD FACING DOCUMENT, SO ANYONE CAN TAKE WHATEVER INFORMATION THAT THEY WANT FROM IT. AND FINALLY PROGRAM READINESS, ONCE A PROJECT HAS A CLEAR SCOPE OF WORK, A COST ESTIMATE, A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT, AND COLLABORATION OF PARTNERS THAT LITTLE CORNER THAT YOU SEE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE ORANGE BOX WILL HAVE GREEN YES'S ALL OVER IT AND THAT'LL GIVE FDOT THE SIGNALIZATION YES APPLY THE FUNDING TO THAT PROJECT BECAUSE IT'S CHECKED ALL THEIR BOXES FOR THEM TO GO FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT. IF A PROJECT DOES NOT HAVE ONE OF THOSE FOUR COMPONENTS IT'LL HIGHLIGHT BRIGHT RED AS A NO. SO UNFORTUNATELY IT'LL GET SKIPPED OVER INTO THE NEXT PROJECT. SO WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN GET ALL OF THESE THINGS TOGETHER. AND THEN ABOVE IT YOU'LL SEE A FUNDING SOURCE, THAT IS OUR BEST RECOMMENDATION OF WHAT HOW WE WANT TO USE THE FUNDING THAT IS ALLOCATED TO US ONTO A PROJECT AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE YOU WILL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A LEGEND, THE DIFFERENT COLOR CODES, IT'S THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF FUNDING THAT YOU WILL SEE IN THAT ORANGE BOX. AND THEN ALSO AT THE BOTTOM YOU'LL SEE THOSE ICONS THAT WE SAW BEFORE FOR THE PROGRAM READINESS. AND FINALLY WHAT WILL THE DOCUMENT CONTAIN? OTHER THAN THIS SUPER CUTE TITLE PAGE WE WILL HAVE A MULTIMODAL PRIORITY LIST INSTRUCTIONS. WE WILL ALSO HAVE A PROGRAM PRIORITIZED PROJECTS, SO ALL THE PROJECTS WITHIN THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS HENCE THE LITTLE TITLE PAGES BELOW. AND THEN THE PARTNER AGENCY UNFUNDED PRIORITIES. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ONE BROWARD COUNTY SO WE'RE GONNA TRY TO INCORPORATE ALL OF THE UNFUNDED PRIORITIES WITHIN THE COUNTY. THE NEXT STEPS, IN MAY WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO Y'ALL AND TO THE CAC FOR ENDORSEMENT OF OUR MULTIMODAL PRIORITY LIST. IN JUNE WE WILL ASK THE BOARD TO ADOPT THIS LIST AND THEN BETWEEN JUNE AND DECEMBER, WHICH IS ACTUALLY AUGUST, WE WILL BE ASKING FOR PROJECT RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT. THAT'S ALL. QUESTIONS.

EXAMPLE YOU SHOWED WILL THERE BE MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES? YES. THE ABILITY TO PUT MULTIPLE SOURCES IN? YES. OKAY. AND THAT'S ONLY WHAT'S FUNDED. I MEAN THIS IS PARTIALLY FUNDED PROJECTS, CORRECT? IN THIS EXAMPLE RIGHT HERE THERE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE UP AS PART OF OUR EXISTING PLUS COMMITTED PROJECTS THAT WE'VE USED IN THIS DRAFT TO SHOW WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE ONCE THE PROJECT GETS MONEY ONTO IT. IN THE LEGEND BELOW, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE SMALL ON YOUR SCREENS, BUT IN THE RED, BLUE AND YELLOW IT SAYS STATE FUNDS, FEDERAL FUNDS AND YELLOW FUNDS. BUT BEFORE THAT IS A COMBINATION OF THOSE DIFFERENT FUNDS. SO THOSE WOULD BE THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD SHOW ON THIS LIST THAT WE WOULD GIVE A RECOMMENDATION FOR FDOT TO PROGRAM FUNDS ONTO. IN OUR DATABASE THAT YOU DON'T SEE HERE WE DO HAVE SPECIFIC FUNDING SOURCES AND THAT TRIGGERS WHAT TYPE OF LANGUAGE SHOWS UP ON THE PAGE. SO ARE THE YEARS CORRECT FOR WHAT THIS LIST WILL ULTIMATELY REPRESENT? YES.

[01:30:02]

BUT THIS BRINGS UP THE QUESTION WHAT IF A PROJECT FLOPS BADLY IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS FROM THE LIST WE JUST APPROVED. AND THEN THE MONEY IS FREED UP.

WHAT PROJECT IS THE NEXT PRIORITY? [INAUDIBLE] DOWN ON THE PRIORITY. SO REMEMBER. BUT ALL THOSE PROJECTS ON THAT LIST TECHNICALLY MEET THE FUNDING PLAN FOR 2045, CORRECT? CORRECT.

WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS YOU'RE GONNA SEE WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE REASONABLE ABOUT WHAT WE PUT ON THE LIST, BUT IT'S GONNA BE YOU KNOW HERE'S THE TOP 20, 25, 30 PROJECTS BASED ON THE THE FUNDING THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE DOT IS GOING TO TAKE THIS LIST AND THEN START ASSIGNING FUNDING TO IT. YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE TOP PRIORITIES ALREADY. THEY'VE ALREADY GOT FUNDING FOR IT. THEY STAY ON THE LIST UNTIL THEY'RE COMPLETELY FUNDED, SO THEY'LL REMAIN ON THE LIST AND YOU'LL SEE THE YEARS IN WHICH YOU GET IT BECAUSE THEY'LL BE DESIGNED IN ONE YEAR, THERE MIGHT BE SOME RIGHT OF WAY THEN THERE'LL BE SOME CONSTRUCTION, SO YOU'LL SEE THE PHASES OF IT. SO PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND BECAUSE RIGHT NOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE GET A LOT IS OH I THOUGHT I DID GET SOME FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT, BUT WHY IS IT STILL ON THE PRIORITIES LIST. AND THE REASON WHY IT'S STILL ON THE PRIORITIES LIST IS BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN FULLY FUNDED INTO THE T IP. SO THIS WILL ALLOW A BOARD MEMBER TO TRACK WELL WHERE ARE THEY? WE'VE ONLY GOT THIS MUCH FUNDING LIKE FOR EXAMPLE THE FIRST ONE YOU'VE GOT FUNDING IN ONE YEAR BUT MAYBE IT NEEDS ADDITIONAL FUNDING, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN IDENTIFIED [INAUDIBLE]. I THINK I GET YOU MIKE, BUT I'M SENSING A GAP HERE ON THE STUFF THAT ISN'T GONNA MAKE THE MTP, AND

[01:35:06]

I'M PERSONALLY JUST WONDERING ABOUT TOTALLY UNFUNDED NEEDS AND HOW THEY MAY BE RANKED MOVING FORWARD AND MAYBE I MISSED THAT IN ALL THIS AND MAYBE I'M SORRY. I'LL JUST I'LL LEAVE IT AT. MR. CHAIR, BILL CROSS MPOR. SO LET ME TRY TO ADDRESS THIS. I WAS GONNA TRY TO GIVE A LITTLE BRIEF OVERVIEW BEFORE WE GET STARTED WITH THE MTP TODAY BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES GOING ON TRYING TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES AND THE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS THAT WE GET NOT ONLY FROM THE TAC BUT ALSO FROM THE MPO BOARD. AND SO THE MTP THAT YOU WERE JUST HEARING AND SEEING IS DIRECTLY TIED TO THIS IN THIS NEW FORMAT AND WE'RE TRYING TO INTEGRATE MORE CLOSELY THAN EVER THE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE. SO JUST TO CLARIFY THE DOCUMENT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW JONATHAN IS THE PRIORITY LIST ONLY. YOU NEVER GET ON THE PRIORITY LIST IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE COSTS FEASIBLE PLAN. THERE IS A NEEDS PLAN. SO THERE ARE GOING TO BE PROJECTS AS PART OF OUR MTP UPDATE THAT ARE UNFUNDED. THOSE YOU WILL NEVER SEE ON THIS LIST. WHAT YOU WILL SEE HERE IS ONCE A PROJECT HAS BEEN PRIORITIZED AND IT'S STARTED TO GET SOME FUNDING EVERY YEAR THAT PROJECT WILL REMAIN ON THE LIST AT THE TOP OF THE LIST UNTIL IT BECOMES FULLY FUNDED. AT THAT POINT WE WILL PREPARE A REPORT AND GIVE TO YOU. THAT PROJECT IS NOW FULLY FUNDED SO THAT YOU AND THE BOARD KNOW WHEN YOUR PRIORITIES BECOME FULLY FUNDED. AT THAT POINT IT COMES OFF THE LIST. THEN THE LOWER PRIORITIES THEY START TO WORK THEIR WAY UP THE LIST. THE FIRST PHASE GETS FUNDED. ONCE THAT FIRST PHASE IS FUNDED AGAIN YOU'LL SEE IT REPEATEDLY. THESE PROJECTS MAY STAY ON THIS LIST FOR FOUR YEARS, FIVE YEARS UNTIL ALL THE PHASES ARE FULLY FUNDED. RIGHT. IT MAY NOT HAPPEN MUCH IN THIS CYCLE, BUT I'M THINKING SOMETHING FLOPS BADLY 50 MILLION'S AVAILABLE, WHO'S FIRST? YEAH.

AND YOU KNOW BECAUSE NOW THERE'S SOME MONEY IN TOWN. WHAT'S FIRST IS GOING TO BE THE PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY PARTIALLY FUNDED AND NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO COMPLETE THOSE. THOSE WILL BE THE FIRST. OKAY. AND THEN THE NEXT PRIORITIES. AND THE OTHER THING THAT WE'RE GONNA DO BECAUSE IT'S NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE YOU KNOW THAT. SO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE IN ANY GIVEN YEAR WE HAVE SOME GUIDANCE FROM DOT AND FROM THE MTP ON HOW MUCH WE SHOULD HAVE IN ANY GIVEN YEAR.

WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS WE'RE GOING TO DOUBLE THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT, ASSUME WE'RE GONNA GET TWICE THAT MUCH AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PUT ON THE PRIORITY LIST FOR THAT YEAR ABOUT TWO TIMES THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE EXPECT TO BE FUNDED IN UNFUNDED NEW PRIORITIES. SO THERE'LL ALWAYS BE PLENTY OF PRIORITIES SO IF MONEY FALLS FROM THE HEAVENS, A BAD PROJECT, WHATEVER WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE PLENTY OF SPARE PROJECTS ON THERE SO THAT DOT WILL HAVE A CLEAR GUIDANCE FROM FROM THE BOARD AND FROM THIS GROUP ON PRIORITIES TO FUND. INCLUDING SOME LARGE OUTSIDE DISCRETIONARY FUNDING COMES IN IS THAT JUST AN AMENDMENT TO WE THINK TO THE MTP OR WOULD IT? DEISCRETIONARY AS IN LIKE A FEDERAL [INAUDIBLE]. FEDERAL DISCRETIONARY TRANSIT FUNDS MAYBE FOR A LARGE CAPITAL PROJECT AND MAYBE IT'S NOT QUITE HUNDRED PERCENT, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW MAYBE NOT TODAY BUT IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE START MAYBE NEXT MONTH HOW AMENDMENTS BASICALLY. WE UNDERSTAND IT'D BE AN AMENDMENT. BUT I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME OTHER AGENCIES BE ABLE TO BRING IN SOME OUTSIDE GRANT MONEY AND IT MIGHT PUSH THE STRUCTURE A LITTLE BIT TO MOVE IT UP. YEAH, AND JONATHAN THAT'S GREAT, AND WE WE CERTAINLY HOPE YOU'RE BRINGING IN A LOT AND WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH YOU TO HELP YOU GO AFTER THAT DISCRETIONARY GRANTS. OK. SO THE MORE THE BETTER. AND YEAH THAT WOULD BE YOU KNOW MTP AMENDMENTS IN ORDER TO BRING THOSE IN AND MAKE THEM ELIGIBLE TO BE ON THIS LIST. SO WE THINK WE'VE BUILT IN A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY AND WE'VE GIVEN A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT THE SURTAX AND HOW ALL OF THAT WILL PLAY INTO THIS. SO WE THINK WE'VE GOT THE FLEXIBILITY NECESSARY JONATHAN TO HANDLE YOUR PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD. OKAY. THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE]. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YUP. ALL RIGHT. QUESTION, COULD BE FOR BILL OR [INAUDIBLE] YOU MENTIONED MICHAEL THAT THE NONE OF THE SO IT GOES ONLY PROJECTS

[01:40:08]

A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO ALSO BE WHEN WE DO THE PRIORITIES LIST ONE THING THAT WE DO EVERY YEAR IS WE REACH OUT TO THE PORT AND THE AIRPORT AND WHEN WE DO HAVE THE PRIORITIES LIST THAT'S APPROVED, WHILE THE PROJECTS ARE NOT LISTED SPECIFICALLY ON IT, THE LIST THAT YOU PROVIDE US AS PART OF THE ANNUAL CYCLE IS INCLUDED TO SUBMIT TO FDOT. SO IT'S NOT JUST THE PRIORITIES LIST THAT YOU SEE HERE, BUT AS WE REACH OUT TO THE PORT AND THE AIRPORT THE PRIORITIES THAT YOU GIVE US AS PART OF IT WE INCLUDE AND YOU'LL SEE AS THE NEXT ADOPTION THAT THAT'S HOW IT WILL BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE PRIORITIES LIST. SO WOULD WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IT JUST AS WAS MENTIONED THE NEW TEMPLATE.

WOULDN'T BE ON THE NEW TEMPLATE THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE, BUT IT WILL BE A PART OF BECAUSE WE ASKED DIRECTLY WHAT ARE YOUR PROJECTS AND WHAT ARE YOUR PRIORITIES. AND IT'LL BE AN ATTACHMENT TO THAT ITEM. IT'S SAYING HERE'S THE PRIORITIES LIST FOR THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN, BUT HERE ARE THE PORT IN THE AIRPORT PRIORITIES LIST AND THAT'S ALL APPROVED UNDER THE PRIORITIES LIST ITEM THAT WE HEAR ANNUALLY. SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT AS PART OF THE COSTS FEASIBLE PLAN THE PORTS PROJECT WILL BE INCLUDED AS PART OF PRIORITIES LIST SOMEWHERE. CORRECT. THEY'LL BE AN ANNUAL, AND I WANT TO JUST CONFIRM ALSO WITH PETER OR BILL OF I KNOW IN THE PAST PLAN WE DID THE REFERENCE. IS THAT WE'RE DOING THAT THE SAME WAY THIS YEAR? I'M SORRY, THIS CYCLE? SORRY. SO NATASHA TO YOUR POINT AND I THINK WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS, RIGHT? THAT THE PORT PROJECTS YOU WOULD THEN SINCE YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A MASTER PLANNING EFFORT NOW AND YOU'RE COMING UP WITH YOUR NEW LIST OF PROJECTS AS YOU WOULD SUBMIT THOSE TO THE MTP AND WE WOULD THEN INCLUDE THOSE AS PART OF THE MTP FOR THE PORT PRIORITIES BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE FUNDING THOSE PROJECTS, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN DISCRETIONARY GRANT FUNDING THAT YOU'RE GOING AFTER, AND THEN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AS PART OF THE MULTI-MODAL PRIORITIES LIST CYCLE EVERY YEAR THOSE WOULD BE INCLUDED THEN AS AN ATTACHMENT OR AS AN APPENDICES SEE TO THE LIST THAT CHRISTOPHER WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT. YEAH, WE PROVIDED TO THE DOCTOR LESS LAST FRIDAY. DOCTOR, I'M SORRY. YEAH WE HAD PROVIDED [INAUDIBLE]. YES I ALREADY RECEIVED [INAUDIBLE] AT LEAST AND THAT THERE WILL AS AN ATTACHMENT FOR THE NEXT TAC MEETING FOR THE TAC COMMUNITY TO APPROVE. SO A FOLLOW UP QUESTION MICHAEL ,SO THEN HOW THEN IF THERE'S FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR THOSE PORT RELATED PROJECTS AND WE'RE NOT PART OF THE TEMPLATE, SO HOW DO WE THEN KNOW THAT THERE'S MONIES AVAILABLE? I MEAN IF WE'RE NOT PRIORITIZED. BUT WE ARE PRIORITIZED SORT OF. I THINK YOU'RE SAYING OUTSIDE OF THE FUNDING THAT THE PORT, SO IF THERE'S ANY GRANTS OR WHATEVER THAT THEN MAKE IT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN [INAUDIBLE] 15 MILLION DOLLARS WE'RE HOPING AVAILABLE. HOW DO WE BECOME PART OF THAT PROCESS TO YOU KNOW TO GO AFTER SOME OF THAT POTENTIAL AMOUNT? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THAT MONEY? YEAH, WELL WE CERTAINLY DO HAVE THE AMENDMENT PROCESS THAT IF THERE IS FUNDING THAT BECOMES AVAILABLE WE CAN INCLUDE AS AMENDED INTO A COST FEASIBLE PLAN. SO IF IT'S SOME GRANT THAT BECOMES AVAILABLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE SHOWN SOMEHOW IN THE COSTS FEASIBLE PLAN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO. WE HAVE THAT ABILITY TO DO THAT EVERY YEAR. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS IF THE MONEY IS AVAILABLE BUT THEN THERE'S OTHER PRIORITIES WHEN WE ARE INCLUDED AS PART OF THOSE PARTIES, BUT UNDER REFERENCE OR AS AN ATTACHMENT WHAT TRIGGERS WHETHER IT'S BILL OR YOU TO SAY HEY YOU KNOW WHAT NATASHA WE HAVE SOME MONEY AVAILABLE FOR THE PORT PROJECT OR DO YOU ALL GO AFTER THE NEXT PRIORITY, THE NEXT PROJECT THAT'S PART OF THE PRIORITY LIST. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. SO FROM THE MTP PERSPECTIVE WE HAVE A PRIORITIZED LIST OF PROJECTS AND YOU SEE THAT WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO FUND SOME OF THEM BECAUSE THEN WE HAD NEEDS

[01:45:03]

BUT YOU COULD DEFINITELY CONTACT ME OR HER OR BILL OR ANYONE ELSE ON STAFF. THEY'LL POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF WHO TO ASK YOUR QUESTION TO. OKAY GREAT. AND THEN YOUR OTHER PART OF THE QUESTION. I'M SORRY REPEAT. THE SPONSOR, YES. I VERY MUCH LIKE THAT IDEA.

THE CITY RIGHT THERE WE HAVE THAT LOCATED BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES MUNICIPALITIES WILL COME UP TO US AND BE LIKE WHAT ARE THE PROJECTS THAT YOU HAVE PRIORITIZED AND DO YOU HAVE A MAP FOR THAT? IN THE PAST WE HAVEN'T APPLIED THAT TO OUR MULTIMODAL PRIORITY LIST AND BECAUSE OF THAT IT WASN'T GEOREFERENCED IN ANY OF OUR MAPS.

BY DOING THIS WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT, PRODUCE A MAP, PRODUCE A REPORT. BUT YEAH I LIKE YOUR SPONSOR IDEA. WE CAN INCORPORATE THAT. MR. HOUSTON. I HAD A COMMENT OR A QUESTION FOR FEDERAL GRANTS. AREN'T CERTAIN FEDERAL GRANTS YOU'RE REQUIRED TO BE IN A LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN IN ORDER TO RECEIVE FUNDING? AND IF SO HOW? BECAUSE WE'VE NOW ELIMINATED ALL PROJECTS UNDER 2 MILLION DOLLARS OUT OF THE LONG RANGE PLAN. HOW DO WE ENSURE OR HOW DO WE NOW GO AFTER THE FEDERAL GRANTS? YOU'RE REFERRING TO CSLIP PROJECTS? NO, I'M JUST REFERRING TO PROJECTS IN GENERAL. THERE HAS BEEN TIMES WHERE WE HAVE IN-HOUSE GRANTS PERSON AND THERE HAS BEEN TIMES THAT THEY SAID OH THIS IS A GOOD GRANT WE THINK WE CAN WIN IT BUT WE NEED TO PARTNER EITHER WITH BROWARD COUNTY OR PARTNER WITH SOMEONE TO GET IT. A LOT OF TIMES THOSE GRANTS HAVE REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU BE IN A LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, SO JUST WONDERING ARE WE PRECLUDING OURSELVES? IT'S A THOUGHT THAT JONATHAN BROUGHT UP WHEN HE SAID WHAT HAPPENS WITH ALL THE NON FUNDED PROJECTS THAT DON'T MAKE IT IN MTP OR NOT SHOWN IN THE LIST BECAUSE YOU KNOW CSLIP IS YEARLY AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND SURTAX IS IN THE LONG RANGE PLAN? SO HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT WE ARE ABLE FROM A LOCAL STANDPOINT TO LEVERAGE THOSE FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR OUR PROJECTS? SO IF YOU'RE APPLYING FOR A GRANT I WOULD ASSUME THAT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WOULD TAKE ON AND IT WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME LOCAL FUNDING. AND IN THE PAST WE ASKED FOR LOCAL PROJECTS TO BE SUBMITTED INTO OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FROM YOUR SUBMISSIONS, WHICH WE GOT. THANK YOU GUYS. IT'S REALLY GREAT. SO THAT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO GET INTO FEDERAL DOCUMENT, SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE THE SUPPORT THAT THE FEDS NEED FOR TO APPLY A GRANT TO YOU. OK. ONE OF THE THINGS ALSO ERIC THAT WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE WORKING WITH IF YOU FEEL THAT THERE'S A GRANT THAT'S COMING UP AND YOU NEED TO BE INCLUDED. LET'S SAY IT'S A REQUIREMENT THAT YOU BE INCLUDED THERE'S WAYS THAT WE CAN DO IT WHETHER IF IT NEEDS

[01:50:04]

THAT'S HOW WE REFERENCED A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS BECAUSE ALSO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ASKS US LET'S SAY WHEN WE PROGRAM A CSLIP PROJECT WHICH IS USUALLY 2 MILLION OR LESS IS WELL WHERE IS IT IN THE MTP? THAT'S WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ASKS, AND THE WAY THAT WE DO IT RIGHT NOW IS WE SAY IT'S REFERENCED UNDER THE CSLIP PROGRAM. IT DOESN'T LIST ALL THE PROJECTS IT JUST SAYS HERE'S A PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE MTP THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD FALL UNDER AND THAT'S USUALLY THE THE JUSTIFICATION THAT WE HAVE IN ORDER TO GET THE FEDERAL FUNDING APPLIED TO THAT PROJECT. SO WE WOULD WORK WITH YOU ALL AND IF YOU'RE GOING FOR A SPECIFIC GRANT AND IF THERE'S CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS OF COURSE COME TO TALK TO THE MPO AND WE'LL SEE WHAT'S THE BEST APPROACH TO GET THAT FUNDED. THANK YOU. NO MORE QUESTIONS. THAT'S THERE WE'RE MOVING ON. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ACTIONS BY THE TAC IN THE I MEAN BY THE CAC AND THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION YOU COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE. THERE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO PLUG THEIR EVENT OR HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THESE EVENTS OR OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS? KAREN SORRY. THE CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE IS
