FOR THE CONSENT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BOTH TOGETHER. IT'S NOT SHOWING THAT HERE. IT SHOULD SHOW. YOU LOOK AT THE ACTION ITEM IN THE FAR LEFT CORNER BOX, IT'LL SAY MOTION TO APPROVE A YOU'RE CORRECT ON THAT. THEN THE SECOND FURTHER DOWN IN THE TEXT IT HAS. IS IT THERE? YEAH. IT'S. YEAH. GOOD. YEAH. THANK YOU. YEAH, I SEE. I'M GOOD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. FOR OUR FIRST ACTION ITEM, DR. CHEN IS GOING TO DISCUSS THIS WITH US. DR. CHEN, PLEASE YOU, MADAM VICE CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS. GOOD EVENING. GOOD MORNING. SORRY, I'M JIHONG CHEN WITH BROWARD MPO. TODAY I'M PRESENTING FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 TO 2028 TIP. THIS TIP IS APPROVED IN JULY. THE AMENDMENT INCLUDES THREE THREE PARTS. FIRST ONE IS TO ADD FISCAL YEAR 2024 ROLL FORWARD REPORT. SECOND PART IS TO AMEND THE THREE PROJECTS IN THE TIP. AND THE THIRD PART IS TO ADD ONE PROJECT TO THE TIP. THIS SLIDE SHOWS BROWARD MPOS CORE PRODUCTS TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS ONE OF THE CORE PRODUCTS. IT'S TIME OF THE YEAR TO PROCESS ROLL FORWARD REPORT. IT IS AN ANNUAL ROUTINE PROCESS FOR THE BROWARD MPO. THIS SLIDE SHOWS ROLL FORWARD REPORT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. THE BROWARD MPO RECEIVES TIP DATABASE FROM FDOT IN MARCH OR APRIL EACH YEAR. THE DATABASE IS GENERATED FROM FDOT DRAFT TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM. FROM HERE IT SPLITS INTO TWO PATHS. THE PATHS IN BLUE INDICATES THE BROWARD MPO USES THE DATABASE TO DEVELOP THE TIP, AND THE BOARD APPROVES TIP IN JULY. AND THE PATHS IN RED INDICATES THE STATE APPROVES THE DRAFT TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM ON JULY 1ST. AFTER JULY 1ST, THE FDOT GENERATES A ROLL FORWARD REPORT FOR EACH MPO. THE YOU MAY WONDER WHAT THE PRODUCT IN THE ROLL FORWARD REPORT. PRODUCTS WERE SUPPOSED TO GET AUTHORIZED AND ENCUMBERED PRIOR TO JUNE 30TH, BUT DID NOT. BECAUSE OF VARIOUS REASONS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE RECEIVING FUNDS FOR THOSE PROJECTS. THOSE PROJECTS HAD TO BE INCLUDED IN THE NEW WORK PROGRAM AND NEW TIP FOR THOSE PROJECTS IS A UTOMATICALLY ROLLED FORWARD IN THE WORK PROGRAM, BUT NOT AUTOMATICALLY ROLLED FORWARD IN THE TIP. AND THE FIRST YEAR OF THE WORK PROGRAM AND THE TIP SHOULD ALWAYS MATCH. SO THE BROWARD MPO HAS TO AMEND THE TIP TO INCLUDE THOSE PROJECTS IN THE TIP. SO EACH SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER OR EARLY OCTOBER, THE BROWARD MPO PROCESS ROLL FORWARD REPORT AFTER THE BOARD APPROVED THE ROLE FORWARD REPORT PRODUCTS IN THE ROLE FORWARD REPORT MERGED INTO THE TIP. THE TIP THE NEW TIP TAKE EFFECT ON OCTOBER 1ST. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE ROLL FORWARD REPORT FOR THIS YEAR. THE ROLL FORWARD REPORT INCLUDES 151 PROJECTS. TOTAL FUNDING ROLL FORWARD IS ABOUT $484 MILLION. THIS SLIDE SHOWS ROLL FORWARD FUNDS DISTRIBUTED AMONG TRANSIT'S HIGHWAY AND RAIL. THE ROLL FORWARD REPORT ALSO INCLUDED 21 PROJECTS WORTH ABOUT $2 MILLION OF MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS ROLLING [00:10:04] FORWARD. THIS SLIDE INCLUDES THOSE PROJECTS. THE BROWARD MPO STAFF, IN COORDINATION WITH PARTNER AGENCIES, IDENTIFIED FOUR PROPOSED REMOVAL AND FIVE MODIFICATIONS. THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE FOUR PROPOSED REMOVAL. FOR FURTHER DETAILS, PLEASE REFER TO THE ATTACHMENT ONE. YOU CAN FIND THOSE PROJECTS. THIS SLIDE SHOWS FIVE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS. THOSE PROJECTS IS PRESENTED IN THE ATTACHMENT TOOL SO YOU CAN FIND DETAILED INFORMATION IN THE ATTACHMENT TOOL IN THE MEETING PACKAGE. I'VE IS REQUESTING TO AMEND THE THREE PROJECTS IN THE TIP. SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE THREE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. AND ALSO YOU CAN FIND THE DETAILED INFORMATION IN ATTACHMENT THREE. BROWARD MPO IS REQUESTING TO ADD ONE NEW PRODUCTS TO THE TIP. THE BROWARD MPO, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BROWARD COUNTY, RECEIVED $5 MILLION SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL DESCRIPTION GRANTS TO DEVELOP BROWARD REGIONAL SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN. SO BROWARD COUNTY IS CONTRIBUTING AN IN-KIND LOCAL MATCH EQUIVALENT TO $1.25 MILLION DOLLARS, $1.25 MILLION. WITH THAT, MPO STAFF, DISTRICT STAFF AND TURNPIKE STAFF HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T SEE ANY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. DO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO PASS THAT THEN? ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND VOTE. REBECCA, IS THAT FOR ALL THREE AT ONE TIME? YES, IT IS ALL. MOTION TO APPROVE ALL THREE. RIGHT. EACH OF THE THREE AT ONE TIME. ALL THREE. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION WITH ANY, PLEASE ADVISE US NOW. OTHERWISE, WE WILL PROCEED WITH THE THREE AMENDMENTS ALL BEING DONE AT THE SAME VOTE. RIGHT. THERE WERE NO QUESTIONS. PLEASE VOTE. ALL RIGHT. I BELIEVE EVERYONE'S VOTED, SO IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE'S A YES. SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE MAKING SURE THE COG CONTINUES MOVING FORWARD. EVERY PIECE OF THAT IS MONEY. AND MONEY ACTUALLY MAKES ALL THE CONSTRUCTION. SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. NEXT, COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR. [7. Comments from the Chair] OH, THAT WOULD BE ME TODAY, RIGHT? [LAUGHTER] YES. LET ME LET ME TAKE THIS. MR. T HAS A COMMENT. YES. YOU WERE LIT UP. NO. I KNOW YOUR NAME WAS UP THERE. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY COMMENTS TODAY EXCEPT TO SAY THAT I'M TAKING MR. ORTIZ'S PLACE TODAY, MAYOR, AND HOPEFULLY I CAN FILL HIS SHOES AND CARRY ON A GOOD MEETING. SO MOVING ON, MEMBER COMMENTS. [8. Member Comments Click here to submit a comment to go before the Board.] EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS REPORT. BRYAN. COMMISSIONER SHUHAM? YES. OH, CAN YOU HEAR ME? I CAN NOW. I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MY THANKS TO LEVI, AND JAMES WAS THERE AND THE WSP TEAM, WE HAD A GREAT MEETING IN HOLLYWOOD LAST NIGHT ON OUR HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD FROM THE BEACH TO YOUNG CIRCLE, A FUTURE RESILIENCY PROGRAM. AND I THINK IT'S CATHERINE PRICE. IF ANYBODY HAS THE PLEASURE OF LISTENING TO HER VOICE, SHE CAN DELIVER SOME REALLY ROUGH NEWS IN JUST A LOVELY WAY. [LAUGHTER] BUT I JUST REALLY WANTED TO EXPRESS MY THANKS TO LEVI AND HIS TEAM. IT WAS A TERRIFIC MEETING AND THE RESIDENTS REALLY APPRECIATED IT. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, BRYAN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT. [9. Executive Director’s Report] ARE YOU EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NOW? NO. I THOUGHT MAYBE I MISSED IT. BUT HE'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING THAT I DON'T LIKE DOING. SO, YES. THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING ME, MADAM CHAIR. BRYAN CALETKA WITH THE BROWARD MPO. [00:15:03] I HAVE TODAY FOUR DIFFERENT AWARDS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, AND WE HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY MEETING, SO OTHERWISE WE'D BE HERE FOR HOURS. WE RECEIVED A AWARD OF EXCELLENCE FOR THE PIO, THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OUTREACH TEAM FOR BEST PODCAST. SO THERE'S A PODCAST THAT WE DO REGULARLY AND IT'S BECOME RATHER POPULAR. WE ALSO HAVE THE BROWARD MPO TEAM FOR BE TACTICAL OF NORTHEAST 15TH STREET AVENUE IN FORT LAUDERDALE. WE GOT A CHAIR'S AWARD FOR OUR REGIONAL GRANTS COORDINATION. SO ABOUT EVERY TWO WEEKS ALL OF YOUR STAFF MEET WITH OURS AND WE COORDINATE GRANTS. SO THAT WAY WE DON'T DUPLICATE EFFORTS OR ALSO SUBMIT MORE THAN ONE APPLICATION BECAUSE THE FEDS WON'T GIVE IT TO US. AND FINALLY, WE GOT THE AWARD OF MERIT FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT OF THE LAKE RIDGE B TACTICAL PILOT PROJECT FROM THE CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE. SO WE GOT FOUR THIS MONTH [APPLAUSE]. WE'RE CONTINUING THE EXCELLENCE THAT YOU EXPECT FOR US. AND I'LL TURN IT BACK TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. I'M GOING TO GO. YEAH, I'M NOT ONE TO YOU KNOW, THAT'S I APPRECIATE BRYAN DOING THAT FOR OUR TEAM MEMBERS. WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM. AND THE REASON WHY WE GET THESE AWARDS IS BECAUSE OUR TEAM IS PUT TOGETHER. COMMISSIONER SHUHAM THAT IS WHAT THEY DID LAST NIGHT AND WHAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO. I ACTUALLY WANT TO HAVE AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT'S COMING UP. WE ARE A FEDERALLY FUNDED ENTITY AND SO AS WE START GOING INTO THE CONVERSATIONS OF GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AND ALL THE REST OF IT, WE ARE ALSO PART OF THAT CONVERSATION. THE REASON WHY WE ARE DIRECTLY ISN'T NECESSARILY DIRECTLY TIED TO OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OR ANY ONE OF THE CITIES. IT IS WHEN WE SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE MONEY WE SPENT. BASICALLY, IT HAS TO GO TO FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, USDOT, AND THEY HAVE TO APPROVE THAT SPENDING AND AUTHORIZATION AND THEN FDOT ENDS UP PROVIDING US A CHECK THAT THEY GET FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THAT SAID, WHEN THEY GO INTO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN MODE, BASICALLY THAT PART OF THE COG DOES NOT WORK. AND SO WE HAVE WE'RE OKAY. I WANT TO SAY THAT WE'RE IN A RESILIENT POINT AND RESILIENCY IS A BIG ISSUE FOR SOUTHEAST FLORIDA. WE'RE ABLE TO POTENTIALLY GO ABOUT MAYBE 6 TO 8 WEEKS IN A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN SCENARIO. PAST THAT POINT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ACTUALLY DEAL WITH FURLOUGHING AND SO FORTH. THAT WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAPPEN AT THAT POINT. THAT SAID, I HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS BEFORE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME AT THE RODEO. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE RESERVES, WHICH IS AN UNUSUAL THING AMONG MPOS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA THAT THIS AGENCY AND METRO PLAN HAS RESERVES AVAILABLE TO IT TO SUPPORT THE AGENCY DURING A GOVERNMENT TYPE SHUTDOWN. AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU WERE ALL AWARE OF THAT AND UNDERSTANDING THAT. THAT SAID, OUR VENDORS ARE GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONES HIT BECAUSE IN THAT SCENARIO, WE GO SHUT DOWN. BASICALLY, WE TELL THEM YOU'RE WORKING AT RISK UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY OPEN BACK THE GOVERNMENT. SO THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT HAPPEN. WE MUST MEET PAYROLL, I MUST PAY RENT AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE INSURANCE. PAST THAT POINT, EVERYTHING BECOMES OPTIONAL. AND SO THAT'S A DECISION THAT UNFORTUNATELY RESTS ON MY SHOULDERS. BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO HAPPEN BUDGETARY WISE. WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GO TO A CERTAIN POINT, LIKE I SAID, AND WE'LL BE KEEPING YOU ABREAST OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING AS THAT MOVES FORWARD, BECAUSE THAT AFFECTS THE AGENCY, BECAUSE WE HAVE OVER WHAT, EIGHT AND ONE HALF MILLION WORTH OF GRANTS AND PLANNING ON THE PLANNING SIDE WITH USDOT THAT WE'VE BEEN AWARDED, THAT IS A DIRECT RECIPIENT SITUATION. SO THAT DOESN'T GO THROUGH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS THAT THEY MAY PASS IN WASHINGTON WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE GETTING FUNDING POTENTIALLY THROUGH SOME OF THOSE SCENARIOS. BUT I WILL LET YOU KNOW AS THAT AS THAT GOES THROUGH. AND THEN FINALLY, ON A REALLY POSITIVE NOTE, WE CONTINUE TO STRIKE AND HIT EVERY ONE OF OUR GRANTS THAT WE'VE HAD. OUT OF THE FOUR WE APPLIED FOR THIS PAST YEAR, WE GOT THREE THAT SAID WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN AGAIN FOR THE ONE WE DIDN'T GET, WHICH IS THE SMART CITIES GRANT. WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD. THERE'S AN AGENDA ITEM NEXT MONTH THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE ASKED TO APPROVE WITH DELOITTE. THIS IS THE SMART TECHNOLOGY SIDE. BASICALLY IT'S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ACTUALLY RUN ALL THE MODELING SCENARIOS FROM THE DIFFERENT MODELS THAT ARE OPERATING HERE IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA. WE USE A MODEL FOR TRANSPORTATION. THE HEALTH CARE USES A DIFFERENT MODEL. OUR FRIENDS AT THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT HAS A THIRD. [00:20:03] WE HAVE ANOTHER MODEL WHEN IT COMES TO CLIMATE CHANGE. WHAT THIS IS GOING TO DO, AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT A FEW YEARS AGO, WAS ACTUALLY TIE THEM ALL TOGETHER IN ONE LOCATION AND ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO RUN ALL SCENARIOS, BASICALLY USING THE MODEL. WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE IF THOSE OF US WHO WENT THROUGH THE FLOODING A FEW WEEKS AGO OR MONTHS AGO NOW THAT HAPPENED WHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CELL JUST PARKED ITSELF OVER SEVERAL CITIES AND FLOODED OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR AIRPORT, BASICALLY, THAT WILL BE ABLE TO RUN THAT SCENARIO QUICKLY AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR ROADWAYS. THESE ARE WHAT'S THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT IS CLEARING OFF AND THIS IS WHERE THE DRAINAGE IS OCCURRING. SO WE CAN PREDICTIVELY SAY THIS IS THE TYPE OF FLOODING THAT WE WILL HAVE AND PUSH OUT INFORMATION TO GEOCODE IN AREAS THAT WILL BE TWO FOOT UNDERWATER OR MORE. SO THAT WAY YOU ACTUALLY DOESN'T YOU WON'T GET AN URBAN STREET FLOOD WARNING. YOU'LL ACTUALLY GO, DON'T DRIVE HERE, YOU ARE GOING TO GET YOUR VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET STUCK. YOU WILL BE STUCK HERE FOR SEVERAL HOURS. AND THIS IS WHAT THE MODEL WILL DO. IT RUNS IT IN SECONDS. AND SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THAT NEXT PHASE OF WHAT WE DO HERE AT THE MPO. THAT SAID, THE CONTRACT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS BASICALLY TO SET UP THE MECHANICS OF THAT INFORMATION SYSTEM. AND THEN WE GO IN WITH THAT GRANT APPLICATION WITH USDOT TO FUND THE ACTUAL APPLICATION ITSELF. REAL EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR US. I KNOW I'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL OF YOU ABOUT IT, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WILL PUT US ON THAT BLEEDING EDGE TECHNOLOGICALLY OF ALL OF THE UNITED STATES, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST METROPOLITAN AREA TO ACTUALLY APPLY THAT TO ALL OF THE ASPECTS OF DATA. OUR PARTNERS UP IN JACKSONVILLE AT THE NORTH FLORIDA TPO HAVE THE DATA CENTER WHERE ALL THE DATA GOES INTO THE CENTER, BUT IT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANYTHING. SO WHILE ALL THE DATA RESOURCES ARE IN ONE PLACE, THEY STILL HAVE THE MANUAL REQUIREMENT TO GO TALK TO EACH OTHER AND FIGURE OUT WHAT ONE MODEL IS RUNNING VERSUS ANOTHER. SO THIS IS AGAIN, ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IT'S EXCITING OPPORTUNITY. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR PARTNER UP IN NORTH FLORIDA TO ACTUALLY IN JACKSONVILLE TO SEE WHERE THEY WENT WITH IT, AND THAT WAS THEIR AREA THAT THEY WANTED TO MODIFY THEY'VE LEARNED FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE AND WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO PILOT THAT OUT. SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND OTHER THAN THAT, WE'RE GOING TO BE UP IN CLEVELAND, OHIO, AT THE END OF THE MONTH. AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN ASKED TO I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 8 OR 9 PRESENTATIONS TO THE ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY. THAT IS A GREAT HONOR FOR US. WE ARE THE ONLY MPO WITH THAT MANY APPLICANT OR ACTUALLY PRESENTATIONS TO THAT ORGANIZATION AND WE CONTINUE TO LEAD THAT. I WILL BRAG A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. I SIT ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. I WAS ELECTED NATIONALLY. I'M UP FOR REELECTION. NONE OF YOU CAN VOTE FOR ME. HOWEVER, THAT SAID, I'M POSITIVELY LOOKING FORWARD TO GET SERVING ANOTHER FOUR YEAR TERM. I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ABLE TO LEAD FORWARD AND MAKE SURE THAT WE LEAD NOT ONLY LOCALLY BUT NATIONALLY. AND THAT IS ACTUALLY AN IMPORTANT THING AS WE MOVE FORWARD, BECAUSE IT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE AND WHAT YOU'RE ALLOWING US TO DO HAS ALLOWED US TO HAVE A HIGHER REPUTATION AROUND THE COUNTRY AND FINALLY, SOMETIME NEXT YEAR, WE MAY BE INVITED TO TRAVEL TO SPAIN. THAT WILL BE ON OUR OWN DIME, MY OWN PERSONAL DIME, TO SPEAK TO THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS ON THE EFFORTS WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW WITH ACCENTURE TO ACTUALLY DO A PILOT TO TEST OUT THEIR NEAR MISS EQUIPMENT. THIS TIES BACK TO THE MODELING EFFORT AS WELL, BECAUSE THERE IS TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE THAT ACTUALLY NOT ONLY WILL FOLLOW ACCIDENTS, BUT WILL ACTUALLY IDENTIFY IN REAL TIME NEAR MISSES. THOSE NEAR MISSES WOULD IDENTIFY THINGS THAT WE CAN PUT IN PLACE, INFRASTRUCTURE WE CAN PUT IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT THOSE NEAR MISSES REMAIN SAFE AND MOVE OUR SAFETY A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY AN AREA IN NORTHWEST BROWARD TO TEST THIS. THIS WOULD BE OAKLAND PARK, LAUDERDALE LAKES IN THAT AREA. AND WE'RE REAL EXCITED TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO MOVE THAT FORWARD. WE'LL BE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT THAT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS AS WELL. AND FINALLY, WE HAD OUR GROUP IN FROM PARIS. IT'S CALLED MOVING ON. THEY CAME IN AND MET AT PORT EVERGLADES. WE ACTUALLY HAD A VERY ROBUST CONVERSATION WITH ABOUT 80 LEADERS FROM AROUND OUR REGION. THE GENTLEMAN FROM LAUDERHILL ENTERTAINED US GREATLY WITH THAT MUSICIAN, VERY MUSICAL. HE'S A GREAT, DEEP VOICE. BUT I'M NOT GOING TO TEASE YOU WITH THE PRESENTATION TODAY THAT YOU MADE. I'M GOING TO DO THAT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. AWESOME, AWESOME PRESENTATION THOUGH. AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD, COMMISSIONER FURR WAS THERE TO ACTUALLY TEE IT UP. [00:25:01] THEY'VE COME UP WITH THREE SOLUTIONS TO DEAL WITH AN EXISTING PROBLEM. NOW WE'RE WORKING WITH BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT AND THE PORT TO ACTUALLY SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS, TO MOVE PEOPLE FROM 33311 TO PORT EVERGLADES TO GET THEM TO JOBS AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IN A DIRECT WAY. AND THAT IS ACTUALLY REALLY EXCITING NEWS FOR US, WHICH THEN TIES BACK INTO THE THRIVING COMMUNITIES GRANT THAT WE ALREADY WON AND WE CAN REAPPLY AGAIN. SO REALLY ALL EXCITING STUFF HAPPENING, BUT IT WAS REALLY GREAT. WE EXPECT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MOVING ON OUT OF PARIS, WHICH INCLUDES MICHELIN AND STANIULIS CORPORATION, TO APPROVE WHAT WE WERE ASKING OF THEM AS WELL. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS THERE. THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ALSO PROVIDING VEHICLES TO THIS AT NO COST TO US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. AND MICHELIN AND STANIULIS, THAT'S CHRYSLER, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW. AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY ALSO LOOKING AT PROVIDING VEHICLES AND TECHNOLOGY TO ACTUALLY HELP US MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PORT PILOT PROJECT WITH BCT. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO SIT DOWN. BUT YOUR TEAM IS DOING A GREAT JOB HERE, OBVIOUSLY, BRYAN, YOU KNOW, WE KEEP ON GETTING THESE AWARDS. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IT'S REALLY AN AMAZING THING. AND IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, WE ARE MOVING THE BALL FORWARD FOR ALL OF YOU, PLEASE TAKE THIS INFORMATION HOME AND TALK TO YOUR BOARD MEMBERS AND THAT WAY THEY KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY AMAZING STUFF. AND, YOU KNOW, I'M HONORED THAT I GET TO BE PART OF THAT. AND WITH THAT, THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] GREG, WHAT CITY IN SPAIN ARE YOU GOING TO FOR THE PRESENTATION? CLEVELAND, OHIO. NO IN SPAIN. OH, IN SPAIN IT WOULD BE BARCELONA. YEAH, BECAUSE BARCELONA, I'M SO IMPRESSED WITH THEIR TRAFFIC FLOW THEY HAVE THERE. IT BOGGLES MY MIND. SO. AND THE BIKE LANES AND THE FACILITIES THEY PUT IN AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TOUR ALL OF THAT. SO I WILL LET YOU KNOW AS THAT MOVES FORWARD, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE ON YOUR OWN TICKET. I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY FOR MY OWN AS WELL. BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL TO DO THAT. AND I'D LOVE TO HAVE ALL OF YOU THERE BETTER SEND PICTURES OF THE BIKE FOR YOU, FOR SURE. SCOOTER LANES, BUS LANES, TAXI LANES. JOY. YES. I'M INTRIGUED BY THE DELOITTE PARTNERSHIP. IS THAT BETWEEN THE MPO AND SINCE THEY HAVE THE PROPRIETARY SYSTEMS? YES. ARE WE LEASING IT FROM THEM AND IS THAT GOING TO BE SERVICE WE'RE PROVIDING OR ACTUALLY HOW IS THAT GOING TO PLAY OUT? AND I'M THINKING BUDGETARILY. AND HOW IT'S GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED. THE FIRST CONTRACT YOU'RE APPROVING NEXT MONTH WILL SET UP THE FRAMEWORK FOR THAT AND THEN WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD. AND YOU'LL SAY ULTIMATELY IT WILL BE A REVENUE SOURCE AS WELL FOR THE MPO. THANK YOU. [LAUGHTER] AND I CAN TEST AND I CAN TEST THE BIKE LANES AS WELL. PERFECT. PERFECTO. WE WILL GO TOGETHER. THERE'S OTHER PARTS OF BARCELONA THAT I WOULD BE REALLY GOOD AT, TOO. AND IT'S NOT THE BIKE LANES, BUT HAS TO DO THIS. WHOOPS. I'M GOOD AT RESTAURANTS. I VOLUNTEER FOR THAT. [LAUGHTER] MR. STURMAN, WHEN IS THAT THE SPAIN TRIP? ACTUALLY BE NEXT NOVEMBER. NEXT YEAR? 25. YES. 2024. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. IN CLOSING THROUGH THAT, AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS ON OUR AWARDS. REALLY, IT'S STUPENDOUS. AND GREG IS SUCH A LEADER, NOT JUST HERE, BUT WHEN YOU SEE HIM IN THE STATE AND YOU SEE HIM IN NATIONALLY, IT'S NO WONDER WE GET ALL THESE AWARDS AND WE'RE SO WELL THOUGHT OF. SO REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT WE HAVE. ALL RIGHTY. OUR MONTHLY LEGISLATIVE REPORTS. [10. Monthly Legislative Reports] MR. CALVARESI. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I'M GOING TO FILL IN SOME GAPS FROM GREG AND BRAG ABOUT THEM A LITTLE. FIRST, LET ME START AT THE STATE LEVEL. AS YOU KNOW, BILLS ARE BEING FILED RIGHT NOW. THE ONLY ONE IS FOR AN EV BILL, WHICH IS TO TAX OR PUT A FEE ON EVS WHICH DO NOT PAY GAS TAX, EVEN THOUGH THEY USE THE SAME ROADS THAT MOST LIKELY WILL NOT PASS. IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT'S A BAD IDEA, BUT IT'S MORE FOR POLITICAL REASONS. AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL GREG ALREADY WARNED ABOUT THE IMPENDING POTENTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AND THE IMPLICATIONS THAT THAT COULD HAVE. SO I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT IT, BUT I WILL SAY THAT WHEN WE GO TO CLEVELAND, I KNOW NOT AS SEXY AS SPAIN, BUT. [LAUGHTER] IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE. SO ANY TAKERS? BUT MR. STUART WILL BE GIVING A PRESENTATION TO OUR PEERS ON GRANTS AND GRANT AWARDS. [00:30:04] WE DO HAVE AN EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES. MOST OTHER MPOS DO NOT WIN ONE, LET ALONE A LITANY OF GRANTS. SO HE'S GOING TO BE GIVING A PRESENTATION ON OUR PROCESS. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THESE THE PREVIOUS TRANSPORTATION BILL HAD AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION. AND AS OF RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF THAT IS UNDERSUBSCRIBED. SO OUR PARTNERS IN DC ARE KIND OF LOOKING AT THIS AS WELL WE PUT ALL OF THIS OUT HERE FOR YOU AND YOU'RE NOT TAKING IT, SO YOU MUST NOT NEED IT. AND THIS IS A CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING WITH OUR PEERS AT THE ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS, OF WHICH GREG SAID HE'S A BOARD MEMBER AND HOPEFULLY REELECTED TO. WE ALSO HAVE TWO SEATS ON THEIR POLICY COMMITTEE TO HELP DIRECT NATIONAL POLICY. AND WE'RE HAVING THE REAUTHORIZATION CONVERSATION ABOUT, WELL, HOW WHY ARE AREAS NOT ACCESSING FUNDS? HOW CAN WE GET THAT TO THEM AND HOW CAN THEY SPEND IT MORE EFFICIENTLY? JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF THE SAUSAGE MAKING THAT HAPPENED WITH OUR RAILROAD CROSSING ELIMINATION PROGRAM. SO $15.3 MILLION FOR IMPROVEMENTS ON THE FEC CORRIDOR FOR SAFETY. WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE FRA AND THEY SAID SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. WE WANT TO GET THIS MONEY TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DRAFT AGREEMENT FOR YOU TO LOOK AT IN SIX MONTHS. AND SO WE'RE LIKE, WELL, THAT'S THAT DOESN'T REALLY ADD UP. YOU SAID IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND YOU WANT TO GET OUT THE DOOR AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. BUT YEAH, YEAH, WE'LL GET YOU SOME PAPERS TO LOOK AT IN SIX MONTHS. SO THIS IS PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING IN DC. AND I'D LIKE TO THANK COMMISSIONER MARTIN BECAUSE HE WILL BE COMING UP WITH US AT THE END OF NOVEMBER. THE THRIVING COMMUNITIES IS DOING A WORKSHOP IN DC. HE'LL BE THE ONLY ELECTED OFFICIAL GOING AND THEY'RE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE HIM THERE. SO WE'RE GOING TO RUN HIM RAGGED ON THE HILL THE FIRST DAY AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BORE THEM TO SLEEP THE NEXT TWO DAYS IN TECHNICAL MEETINGS. SO THAT GOING ON WE'LL KEEP YOU ABREAST ON THINGS GOING ON IN DC AND HOPEFULLY HAVE BETTER NEWS MOVING FORWARD. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO MYSELF OR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. GENERAL COUNSEL'S REPORT. [11. General Counsel’s Report] WELL, THANK YOU. GREG, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A MEETING NEXT MONTH IF WE DON'T HAVE FEDERAL FUNDING? YES, WE WILL HAVE A MEETING REGARDLESS. OKAY. GLAD TO KNOW THAT I WILL VOLUNTEER MY TIME. OH, WELL, MY REPORT IS PART OF THE BACKUP. I'M ALWAYS VOLUNTEERING MY TIME, BUT YOU JUST DON'T ALWAYS NEED ME TO DO IT. OKAY, SO THE MATERIALS ARE BEFORE YOU. AND AS PART OF THE BACKUP, IT ALWAYS ADDRESSES THE DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE US AND THAT YOU ACTUALLY WILL VOTE ON IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING NEXT MONTH OR THE PREVIOUS MONTHS COMING UP. I'M SORRY, IN THE COMING MONTHS THAT WOULD BE IDENTIFIED IN THAT REPORT. JUST A LITTLE HEADS UP FOR YOU. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WITH ANY OF THOSE ITEMS, PLEASE DON'T EVER HESITATE TO CALL OR ASK ME. NOTHING FURTHER. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MPO TECH SERVICE UPDATE. [12. MPO Surtax Services Updates: www.my-mcps.org] BRYAN, PLEASE. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF PRESENTATION. IT'S KIND OF A SUMMARY OF THIS YEAR'S SURTAX PROGRAM FOR THE MUNICIPAL CAPITAL PROJECTS AND TO GIVE SOME DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS BASED ON THE PROJECTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED AND WERE RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING FOR BROWARD MAP ADMINISTRATION. SO WE ALWAYS LIKE TO GIVE THE PRESENTATION WHERE WE IDENTIFY EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE ENTIRE PENNY SURTAX, 10% IS WHAT IS CALLED THE MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEE, OR THAT GOES TO THE CITIES FOR THEIR PROJECTS. WITH ALL FAIRNESS, EVERY SINGLE YEAR OF FUNDING HAS EXCEEDED THAT 10%. SO IT'S THE MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEE, BUT THEY HAVE ALWAYS IN EXCESS FUNDED PROJECTS. WITHIN THAT 10%, IT CAN GO TO FOUR DIFFERENT THINGS. THE COMMUNITY SHUTTLE COMES RIGHT OFF THE TOP. MOST OF YOUR COMMUNITIES HAVE HAD THEIR COMMUNITY SHUTTLES FULLY FUNDED FOR AT LEAST MOST OF THE CITIES IN THE ROOM. AND THAT COMES OFF OF THE TOP OF THE 10%. AND THEN IT CAN ALSO GO TOWARDS REHAB AND MAINTENANCE AND ALSO CONTINGENCY. BUT THEN THE SECOND PRIORITY IS THE MUNICIPAL CAPITAL PROJECTS, WHICH YOUR TEAMS SUBMIT ANNUALLY TO BE REVIEWED AND EVALUATED AND EITHER RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING. SO THESE ARE THE SEVEN PARTS THAT THE MPO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. WE BASICALLY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY COMPLY WITH FLORIDA STATUTES. WE'RE LUCKY WE HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED ONE OF THE BROWARD COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, MRS. [00:35:02] WALLACE, WHO IS HERE TODAY IS ACTUALLY THE PERSON THAT'S IN CHARGE OF REVIEWING AND MAKING SURE THAT IT MEETS ALL THE STATE STATUTES. WE RECEIVED THE FUNDING. WE WORK WITH EACH OF YOUR STAFF, SO WE'LL HAVE A TRAINING SESSION ANNUALLY AND THEN WE MEET WITH YOUR STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN PUT FORTH THE BEST PROJECT POSSIBLE TO MEET ALL OF THE CRITERIA. WE EVALUATE IT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOT MISSING COMPONENTS BECAUSE YOU CAN LOSE POINTS FOR THAT. THEN WE RANK IT BASED ON THE RUBRIC THAT WE SUBMIT TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR ANNUALLY. SO SHE BASICALLY TELLS US LIKE WHAT THE PRIORITIES ARE TO GET FUNDING AND IT MAKES MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RUBRIC THAT WE USE TO IDENTIFY ALL THE POINTS FOR EVERY PROJECT. WE RANK THEM. AND THEN WE RECOMMEND IN THE ORDER OF THEIR RANKING. AND WE DON'T DEVIATE FROM THAT. IT'S ACTUALLY AN EASY JOB ONCE WE GET THE RANKING. SO IT GOES IN ORDER UNTIL WE REACH THE MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEE, WHICH IS OUR BUDGET BASICALLY, AND THEN WE STOP. SO THIS YEAR WE HAD 52 PROJECTS. AND ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE MAP OF BROWARD COUNTY, THESE ARE ALL OF THE LOCATIONS OF THESE PROJECTS. AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE ARE THE NINE PROJECTS THAT WE ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING. SO WE HAD WITHIN THE BUDGET ONE THROUGH NINE OUT OF THE 52. THE 10TH PROJECT WOULD HAVE WENT OVER THE BUDGET, SO WE STOPPED RIGHT THERE. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE KEEP THESE IN A DATABASE. SO NEXT YEAR, IF YOU WERE IF YOUR CITY WAS AT, SAY, PROJECT NUMBER TEN ON THAT RANKING, ALL THEY HAVE TO DO NEXT YEAR IS PUSH SUBMIT DURING THE SUBMISSION PROJECT. THEY CAN KEEP THAT IN THERE. SO IT TAKES VERY LITTLE EFFORT FOR YOU TO SUBMIT THAT IN THE NEXT CYCLE, WHICH WILL START AROUND FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR. SO WE ENDED UP I SAID NINE EARLIER, BUT IT'S 11. THESE ARE THE 11 PROJECTS THAT WERE FUNDED. SO YOU CAN SEE THE CITIES WHERE THEY BELONG TO THE AMOUNT. AND ONE THING THAT WAS INTERESTING THIS YEAR, WE HAD A NICE MIX OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PHASES THAT WERE SUBMITTED BETWEEN DESIGN PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE PRETTY MUCH USED THE ENTIRE BUDGET OF THE MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEE. WE ONLY HAD ABOUT 217,000 THAT WAS LEFT OVER. SO 11 PROJECTS, 28.8 MILLION. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT WAS THE HIGHEST 11 IN THAT ORDER WITH NO DEVIATIONS. 36% OF THE RECOMMENDED PROJECTS WERE FROM INITIALLY DEVELOPED IN CYCLE ONE. THAT MEANS THAT OF ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD, THE COUNTY FUNDED, THE FIRST 110 GUARANTEED. THEY'VE ALREADY FUNDED EACH OF THOSE, OR EACH OF THOSE 110 ARE IN THEIR FIVE YEAR PLAN. AND SO THERE WERE SOME THAT DID NOT GET FUNDED, BUT THE CITY SAID THEY'RE STILL IMPORTANT TO US, SO THEY RESUBMITTED. AND 36% OF THOSE THAT WERE FUNDED THIS YEAR WERE ACTUALLY FROM THAT ORIGINAL LIST THAT WERE NOT GUARANTEED FUNDING. SO THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT PHASES. THE DARK BLUE IS THE PLANNING THAT THAT'S USUALLY A VERY SMALL COMPONENT OF A PROJECT. USUALLY IT COMPRISES ABOUT 3% OF A PROJECT'S TOTAL BUDGET. THE DESIGN PHASE, WHICH USUALLY COMPRISES ABOUT 12% OF THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT, IS WHEN THEY ACTUALLY GET THE DESIGN, THE ENGINEERING PLANS FOR ANY PARTICULAR ROADWAY PROJECT, AND THEY GET IT ALL DRAWN UP. AND THEN FINALLY, ABOUT 85% OF THE COST OF A PROJECT IS CONSTRUCTION. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT 45% OF THE PROJECTS THAT WERE FUNDED THIS YEAR WERE FOR CONSTRUCTION OR 36% SORRY. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PROJECTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED WERE IN FLOOD ZONES, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY HAD A RESILIENCY COMPONENT ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TALKED ABOUT EARLIER ABOUT THE FLOODING, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THESE BECAUSE WHEN THEY HAVE THESE ROADWAY PROJECTS, WHEN THEY'RE DESIGNED, THEY USUALLY INSTALL STORMWATER IN ADDITION TO IT. SO IT HELPS OUT IN THE ROAD CONDITIONS FROM WHAT THEY CURRENTLY ARE. THIS IS GREAT NEWS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE SOCIAL EQUITY OF THE PROJECTS OF WHERE THEY WERE LOCATED, 27% WERE IN AN IMPACT EQUITY COMMUNITY. AND ACTUALLY IN THIS YEAR, FOR THE PROJECTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED, A DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH NUMBER OF THEM WERE ACTUALLY IN AN EQUITY COMMUNITIES. BUT THIS YEAR, 27% WERE ACTUALLY FUNDED IN THE EQUITY COMMUNITY AREAS. ALSO SOMETHING THAT IS OF INTEREST TO MANY OF YOU IS ARE THESE PROJECTS NEAR SCHOOL ZONES? ARE THEY SAFETY PROJECTS FOR OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN AND ALSO OUR EMPLOYEES? AND YOU CAN SEE THAT 73% OF THE PROJECTS THAT WERE FUNDED THIS YEAR WERE ACTUALLY IN A SCHOOL ZONE. AND WITH THAT, I REMAIN AVAILABLE IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS YEAR'S CYCLE. COMMISSIONER MARTIN. YES. [00:40:02] THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT. AND JUST A GENERAL QUESTION, NOT NECESSARILY IN THIS PARTICULAR YEAR, DOES THE MPO KIND OF TRACK WHERE THIS MONEY COMES FROM, ALL THE CITIES ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, WHAT THE HOW THE MONEY IS KIND OF DELVED OUT AND WHAT CITIES HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING? AND OVER THE YEARS AND WHAT CITIES CONTINUE TO GET A LITTLE MORE THAN SO THAT THERE IS POSSIBLY A REVISIT ON HOW THE EQUITY OF THESE FUNDS THAT ARE PAID BY EVERYBODY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY GET DELVED OUT. SO IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT OF THE PROGRAM, BUT INTERNALLY WE DO TRACK THAT. AND I KNOW THE ANSWERS TO WHO'S GETTING MORE THAN THEY SHOULD AND WHO'S GETTING LESS. BUT ONE OF THE WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING LESS, I WILL STRESS THAT THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY A COMMUNITY DOESN'T GET A PROJECT IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN APPLY. SO THAT TREND REMAINS TRUE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. SO IF YOU DON'T APPLY FOR A PROJECT, YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET ANY. OKAY. AND I GUESS LET'S LOOKING FORWARD, JUST SOME DEFERENCE BE GIVEN TO AGAIN, MONEY'S COMING FROM ALL THE CITIES ON A REGULAR BASIS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A MECHANISM BY WHICH TO SAY, OKAY, WE CAN ALWAYS SET ASIDE SOMETHING. EVERY CITY HAS SOMETHING THEY NEED TO DO, WHETHER THEY'RE IN A POSITION STAFFING OR, YOU KNOW, FINANCIALLY TO PUT THE PLANS IN PLACE TO THE SAME LEVEL THAT THE BIGGER CITIES THAT CONTINUE TO GET THE BIGGER PROJECTS CAN DO THAT. AND I KNOW WE HAVE THE M-TECC COMING AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S GOING TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE OTHER ASSISTING SOME OF THE SMALLER CITIES IF THEY PARTICIPATE IN THAT. BUT THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S QUITE EASY TO SEE WHERE THE MONIES GO EVERY YEAR VERSUS WHERE SOME OF THE OTHER NEEDS ARE. AND MAYBE IT'S A CONNECTIVITY THING WHERE CITIES GOT TO GET TOGETHER TO PUT PROJECTS TOGETHER. BUT IF THERE'S SOME MECHANISM IN PLACE WHERE WE CAN MAYBE LOOK AT SETTING ASIDE SOMETHING TO MAKE SURE EVERY CITY HAS A SMALL PROJECT OR SOMETHING WE CAN HELP WITH, I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD, GOOD FAITH MOVE TO THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERY CITIZEN IS PAYING INTO THIS THING, BUT NOT NECESSARILY EVERY CITY IS SEEING THE RETURN ON THEIR DOLLARS. WELL, ONE THING THAT WE DO IS WE DO REACH OUT TO EVERY COMMUNITY AND WE TRY TO SAY, HEY, WE DON'T SEE THAT YOU'RE PARTICIPATING IN THIS YEAR'S PROJECT. AND IF YOUR CITY SAYS, HEY, THERE'S SOME IMPORTANT PROJECT, BUT IT DOESN'T FIT THE SURTAX PROGRAM WELL, WE TRY TO IDENTIFY AN ALTERNATIVE SOURCE LIKE THE CSLIP PROGRAM THROUGH THE MPO SO THAT WE GUIDE THEM OR TO A FEDERAL EARMARK. SO IF IT DOESN'T FIT THIS PROGRAM, WE TRY TO GUIDE THEM TOWARDS THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO GET FUNDING. AND IN FACT, WE FOUND VERY GOOD SUCCESS WITH COCONUT CREEK. THEY, WE, THEY WANTED A SURTAX PROJECT. IT DIDN'T FIT VERY WELL WITH THEM, BUT THEY RECEIVED AN EARMARK FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CARE OF IT. AND WE'VE DONE THE SAME THING IN LAUDERHILL. BUT AGAIN, JUST COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. SUNRISE, WE PAY A LOT IN SALES TAX YES. AND WE HAVE MRS. WALLACE, THE ATTORNEY THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS YOUR COMMENT, TOO, SIR. GOOD MORNING. ANGELA WALLACE WITH THE BROWARD COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT THE WAY THE FUNDS, THE SURTAX FUNDS ARE ADMINISTERED ARE GOVERNED BY AN AGREEMENT AMONG THE COUNTY, THE MPO AND THE PARTICIPATING MUNICIPALITIES. AND THERE ARE 12 THAT PARTICIPATE UNDER THE AGREEMENT. THE CURRENT VERSION IS THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR SURTAX FUNDS AND IT PRESCRIBES HOW THOSE FUNDS ARE DISTRIBUTED. SO THERE'S A PROCESS OUTLINED IN THE AGREEMENT THAT WE ALL MUST FOLLOW WITH REGARD TO COMMUNITY SHUTTLE FUNDING, MUNICIPAL REHAB AND MAINTENANCE FUND, PROJECT FUNDING AND MUNICIPAL CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDING. IN ORDER TO CHANGE THAT, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT. AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER EVERYONE IS AWARE, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT I GUESS THE COUNTY THERE'S A GROUP OF BCCMA, THE BROWARD COUNTY CITY MANAGERS ASSOCIATION SURTAX SUBCOMMITTEE THAT RECENTLY SUBMITTED RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNTY WITH REGARD TO A THIRD AMENDMENT. AND SO I GUESS THE PLACE TO SUBMIT THAT TYPE OF REQUEST WOULD BE PART OF THAT PROPOSAL. AND I DON'T RECALL THAT BEING ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO SET ASIDE MONEY IN A DIFFERENT MANNER WITH REGARD TO HOW THE MUNICIPAL CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE ADDRESSED. SO IN ORDER TO DO THAT, IT WILL NEED TO BE INCORPORATED IN AN AMENDMENT TO THAT OVERRIDING AGREEMENT. AND I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THAT PROCESS HAS STARTED. I GUESS RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL ITEMS INCLUDED, YOU MAY WANT TO REACH OUT TO EITHER. I GUESS IT'S GOING THROUGH THE BCCMA SUBCOMMITTEE. SO PERHAPS THAT GROUP OR SOME OTHER COMMUNICATION TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR WITH REGARD TO THE REQUEST, BECAUSE THOSE THINGS WILL BE CONSIDERED. [00:45:08] AND I GUESS ONCE THEY'RE REVIEWED INTERNALLY AND FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ARE HAD, YOU KNOW, WE WILL BE DRAFTING A THIRD AMENDMENT THAT GOVERNS HOW THIS MONEY IS ADMINISTERED. OKAY? COMMISSIONER FURR. THANK YOU. TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS AWARE OF IT, THIS IS 10% OF THE MONEY THAT'S MUNICIPAL, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING ON IN ALL CITIES, ALL THROUGHOUT BROWARD, WITH THE OTHER 90% THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S TURN LANES OR, YOU KNOW, SIGNALS, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. SO IT'S NOT LIKE THAT'S THE ONLY MONEY GOING INTO EVERY CITY. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THAT THIS IS ONE BUCKET, BUT THERE'S A BUNCH OF OTHER BUCKETS THAT ARE BEING USED ON A REGULAR BASIS THAT ARE BEING SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY ON A REGULAR BASIS. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MALLOZZI. I KNOW THAT WE MISSED THE CUT. WE WERE LIKE THE NEXT ONE TO BE FUNDED WITH THE MUNICIPAL MONEY. AND THEN WHEN CSLIP CAME ON, I WAS EGGING STAFF. I'M LIKE, LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO. I WANT THAT. I WANT THAT. I WANT THAT. THEY REALLY DIDN'T HAVE EVERYTHING PREPARED THAT THEY NEEDED. AND SO THEY WERE LIKE, WE REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH CSLIP. AND THEY REALLY LIKE, I GUESS BASICALLY WENT THROUGH THE MOTIONS TO SHUT ME UP TO, BE HONEST. BUT THEY DID MAKE A PROMISE THAT THEY WERE THEY REALLY ENJOYED LEARNING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I GUESS MY BEING GONE FOR FOUR YEARS, THEY DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT WAS AVAILABLE TO THEM. SO THEY NOW ARE ACTUALLY GOING BACK. AND I GUESS I IGNITED A LITTLE FIRE UNDER EVERYONE AND THEY'RE GOING BACK AND THEY'RE GETTING LONG TERM PROJECTS AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY COMPILING A LIST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN EVERY YEAR. AND WE'VE GOT THINGS THAT WE CAN APPLY AND MAKE THINGS SHOVEL READY. SO NOW AT LEAST I'VE GOT MY STAFF READY TO STRIKE WHILE THE IRON'S HOT WHENEVER WE SEE THINGS THAT WE CAN STRIKE WITH. SO I THAT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU TO POTENTIALLY DO TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER COLBOURNE. THANK YOU. I WAS HOPING THAT WE COULD GET SOME INFORMATION. WHAT THE ATTORNEY WALLACE TALKED ABOUT SO THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, IF YOU CAN SEND OUT SOMETHING TO THAT TO THAT EFFECT, SO THAT IF ANY OF THE CITIES HAVE AMENDMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS THAT WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IS IT THAT WE NEED TO DIRECT THOSE. THE OTHER THING COMMISSIONER BEAM FURR WAS SAYING, 10% THE SURTAX. WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING IS WITH 10%. AND I KNOW FROM TIME TO TIME WE GET AN UPDATE ON THAT 10%. DO WE EVER GET AN UPDATE ON THE OTHER 90%? [INAUDIBLE] HOW DO WE HOW DO WE GET THOSE? WE DO HAVE THAT. IS THAT ON THE SYSTEM AS WELL? YES. AT THE LAST MEETING WE HAD MRS. CASSINI COME FROM ADMINISTRATION AND SHE MADE A PRESENTATION ON THE OTHER 90%. IS THAT ON? IT'S ON. IT'S ON YOUR WEBSITE. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING. THANK YOU. MAYOR COOPER. I THINK JUST TO FOLLOW UP, AND I THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS TO THE PROCESS. AND I AGREE, MAYBE WE SHOULD BE COPIED ON THEM AS IT ELECTED TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE WE CAN ACTUALLY WEIGH IN ON THEM AS A MUNICIPAL BODY AS WELL. SO THE IF YOU COULD. THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CITY MANAGERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED TO MRS. SAPIRO. RIGHT. I RECEIVED A COPY OF IT THROUGH THE CHANNEL. AND ACTUALLY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN EXPEDITIOUS PROCESS. IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME BECAUSE YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE A LEGAL DOCUMENT DRAFTED AND IT NEEDS TO BE SUFFICIENT ON ALL OF OUR PARTIES BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO ADOPT IT, INCLUDING THE MPO BOARD. SO I'M IN THE PROCESS OF RIGHT NOW WRITING MY RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON THE CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIONS, AND I SHOULD HAVE MY LETTER TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR COMPLETE SOMETIME IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. BUT I'M ADDRESSING BECAUSE SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT THEY MADE. THEY DON'T NECESSARILY ACCOMPLISH THE SOLUTION THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR. AND SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS TO SAY, HEY, IF YOUR LEFT FOOT HURTS, DON'T PUT A BAND AID ON YOUR RIGHT ARM. YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP YOU VERY MUCH. SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. AND THEN I IMAGINE NEXT IT WILL GO TO THE ATTORNEYS TO WORK OUT THE CHANGES IN THE LANGUAGE. I PERSONALLY DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE FINISHED PRIOR TO THE NEXT ROUND STARTING. AND JUST AS A FOLLOW UP, OR ARE THEY MORE GLOBAL RECOMMENDATIONS OR ARE THEY MORE PAROCHIAL OR. [00:50:02] THEY'RE BOTH. THEY ARE BOTH. I'M TRYING TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES A LITTLE BIT HERE. SO MORNING, ANGELA WALLACE AGAIN. SO THERE ARE SUBSTANTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THE PROCESS AND THE ALLOCATION ITSELF AND HOW THE FUNDS ARE DIVIDED AND WHICH WILL REQUIRE ARE HUGE POLICY DECISIONS THAT ARE GOING TO REQUIRE COUNTY COMMISSION APPROVAL IN THE EVENT THAT THE NEGOTIATIONS RESULT IN SOME OF THOSE OUTCOMES. SO THE AGREEMENT IS CURRENTLY DRAFTED BASED UPON THE ORDINANCE OR IN THE DISTRIBUTION. THE WAY THE FUNDS ARE DISTRIBUTED ARE BASED UPON THE COUNTY'S ORDINANCE THAT WAS ADOPTED AT THE TIME THAT THE IT ENACTED THE SURTAX IN 2018 TO PLACE THE MATTER ON THE BALLOT. AND I GUESS THE AGREEMENT WAS DRAFTED ORIGINALLY AT THE TIME THAT THE BALLOT MEASURE WAS APPROVED. AND SO AND IT'S BASED UPON, I GUESS, THAT 10% ALLOCATION, THE REQUEST IS A LARGER ALLOCATION OF THE FUNDS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES AND THEN HOW THE FUNDING GETS DISTRIBUTED AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE COMMUNITY SHUTTLE PROCESS. AND, YOU KNOW, QUESTIONS REGARDING MICROTRANSIT AND I GUESS THE CURRENT VENDOR THAT IS UTILIZED BY SOME OF THE MUNICIPALITIES FOR MICROTRANSIT, THERE'S SOME SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES THAT ARE RAISED AND RECOMMENDED AS PART OF THE BCCMAS PROPOSAL AND IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A LOT OF DISCUSSION. SHOCKING. ALL RIGHT. GOD, I'M GETTING PTSD JUST SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT THAT PROCESS, BUT I SEE NO MORE REQUESTS TO SPEAK. OH MY GOSH. [LAUGHTER] SO, BRYAN, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VERY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE REPORT. ALL RIGHT ON TO OUR NON ACTION ITEMS ROUTE TO 2050 METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN PROJECT PRIORITIZATION. [1. Route to 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Project Prioritization (Step 2 of 3)] MR. RESTREPO FROM MPO, PLEASE. YES, HELLO. GOOD MORNING. HOW IS EVERYONE? OH, I WANT TO ASK THAT QUESTION SO EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE TO RESPOND, BUT I'M DOING GREAT. WELCOME TO YOUR UPDATE FOR STEP TWO OF OUR METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN, ALSO KNOWN AS ROUTE TO 2050. IF YOU REMEMBER LAST TIME I GAVE A PRESENTATION, I INTRODUCED THE CONCEPT OF A TRILOGY. WELL, THIS IS THE SEQUEL PART TWO OF THAT TRILOGY. SO LET'S GET RIGHT ON INTO IT. SO AS A GOOD STORY BEFORE YOU START THE PART TWO, THIS IS GOING TO BE A SECTION ON PREVIOUSLY ON WHAT WE PRESENTED. SO I'M GOING TO GO OVER THESE COUPLE OF SLIDES VERY QUICKLY. BUT THIS IS ALL STUFF THAT WE PRESENTED LAST TIME. JUST TO RE COME BACK TO YOUR MIND OF WHAT IT IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO THESE ARE OUR FUNDING PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH FOR OUR ROUTE TO 2050. WE HAVE OUR COMPLETE STREETS, ROADWAY TRANSIT AND HUBS, TECHNOLOGY, SAFETY AND RESILIENCY. YOU'LL NOTICE A LITTLE BOX AT THE BOTTOM THAT'S A LITTLE BIT NEW HERE ON THIS SLIDE, AND THAT'S OUR POLICY DIRECTION. WE'RE INCLUDING THIS AS GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR OUR PROGRAMS SO THAT THERE ARE BASELINE THINGS THAT WE'RE INCLUDING FOR EVERY PROJECT BEFORE IT ENTERS OUR COST FEASIBLE PLAN. WHAT THAT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, YOU'LL SEE AT THE NEXT MEETING. BUT WE'RE JUST INTRODUCING THIS CONCEPT NOW. SO FOR OUR PROGRAMS, WE HAVE SIX. FOUR OF THE ONES ARE GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY THE PRIORITIZATION FACTORS I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE TODAY. THOSE ARE COMPLETE STREETS, ROADWAY TRANSIT AND HUBS AND TECHNOLOGY. AGAIN, SAFETY AND RESILIENCY ARE GOING TO HAVE THEIR OWN FRAMEWORK AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS THAT ARE GOING TO BE AWAY FROM THESE FACTORS. SO WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE FOUR TO THE LEFT. OUR APPROACH IS SIMPLE BUT COMPLICATED. WE'RE GOING TO BE A GIS BASED. INCORPORATING OUR EMPHASIS AREAS, ACCOUNT FOR MODAL DIFFERENCES, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MEETING THE NEEDS AND DEMANDS. SO WE'RE FOCUSING ON THAT AND THEN MAKE SURE THESE PROJECTS HAVE SOME BENEFIT ONCE THEY'RE RANKED AND PRIORITIZED. THESE ARE THE SIX PRIORITIZATION FACTORS WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT. THEY'RE THE SAME ONES FROM OUR 2045 PLAN. THEY WORK PRETTY WELL. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADD SOME ADDITIONAL CRITERIA TO THEM SO THAT WE CAN FOCUS ALL THE NEW INVESTMENT FOR THE 2050 PLAN. SO HERE WE GO. CRITERIA REVIEW AND PRIORITIZATION FACTOR WEIGHTING. SO LET'S GO OVER THE PRIORITIZATION FACTORS AND DIVE DOWN INTO WHAT THOSE CRITERIA LOOK LIKE. SO THE FIRST ONE, MOBILITY, THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR THOSE LONGER TRIPS, WE'RE PROPOSING FOUR DIFFERENT CRITERIA THAT A PROJECT CAN SCORE POINTS ON ONCE IT GOES INTO RANKING, THEY ARE TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE FOR SINGLE OCCUPANCY VEHICLES, REDUCE TRAVEL TIME FOR DELAY. AND THEN ALSO, IF A PROJECT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCORPORATE ITS, IT'LL SCORE POINTS. ACCESSIBILITY, THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR THOSE SHORTER TRIPS. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF FOUR CRITERIA, BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO TWO FOR EACH SLIDE. IF A PROJECT HAS A SUPPORT FOR AN EXISTING TRANSIT NETWORK OR A PROPOSED TRANSIT NETWORK, IT WILL SCORE POINTS. [00:55:03] ALSO, IF THE PROJECT SERVES OR CONNECTS TO ANY AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS, IT WILL SCORE POINTS. THE NEXT TWO ARE ACTIVITY CENTERS AND NON AUTO. SO IF THE PROJECT SUPPORTS THE REDUCTION OF TRAVEL TIME TO ANY OF OUR ACTIVITY CENTERS, IT'LL SCORE POINTS. AND IF IT PROPOSES ANY NON AUTO CENTRIC FACILITIES TO ATTACH ITSELF TO AN ACTIVITY CENTER, A TOURIST DESTINATION OR ANY ESSENTIAL SERVICES, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PROJECT TO SCORE POINTS. SAFETY. WE HAVE ONE CRITERIA, AND THAT'S BASED OFF OF OUR HIGH INJURY NETWORK. AGAIN, THOSE ARE THOSE FATAL OR INCAPACITATING CRASHES THAT OCCURRED ON OUR NETWORK. SO IF A PROJECT INTERSECTS WITH THAT, WITH THAT NETWORK OR IS ON THE NETWORK, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY OR WITHIN 200FT OF THAT NETWORK, IT WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE POINTS. FOR EQUITY. WE HAVE OUR AMAZING EQUITY TOOL. WE HAVE IT ON OUR WEBSITE IF YOU WANT TO CHECK IT OUT TO SEE WHAT THE COMPOSITE SCORE FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS, YOU CAN GO AND DO THAT. BUT WE'RE GOING TO USE THAT TOOL THROUGH OUR PRIORITIZATION PROCESS. SO BASED OFF OF THE THE COMPOSITE SCORES THAT WE HAVE, IF A PROJECT FALLS WITHIN THOSE AREAS, THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT TO GET POINTS. THEN ALSO WE HAVE ANOTHER CRITERIA THAT'S BASED OFF OF COMMUNITY. SO IF IT DOES NOT DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT RESIDENCES IN THOSE AREAS, IT WILL SCORE POINTS. AND IF IT DOES, IT WILL NOT SCORE ANYTHING BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE INVESTING CORRECTLY. FOR RESILIENCY WE HAVE TWO CRITERIA. THE FIRST ONE IS THE RESILIENCY, AND THAT IS OUR NETWORK THAT WE'RE DEVELOPING THROUGH OUR ANALYSIS, THROUGH OUR EMPHASIS AREA. SO IF A PROJECT FALLS WITHIN A RESILIENCY CORRIDOR OR INTERSECTS IT, THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES TO SCORE POINTS. AND THEN JUST LIKE OUR COMMUNITY, IF A CRITERIA IN THE PREVIOUS FACTOR, IF A PROJECT HAS A NEGATIVE IMPACT TO A WETLAND OR FLOODPLAIN NATURAL HABITAT OR HISTORIC RESOURCE, IT WILL NOT SCORE POINTS. AND IF IT DOES NOT HAVE AN IMPACT TO IT, IT WILL SCORE POINTS. ECONOMIC VITALITY. OUR VERY LAST FACTOR ALMOST THERE. SO WE HAVE FREIGHT AND GOODS. SO IF IT SUPPORTS THAT NETWORK OF TRANSPORTING FREIGHT AND GOODS, IT WILL SCORE POINTS. IF IT DOES NOT, IT WON'T. AND THEN STATE OF GOOD REPAIR, THOSE ARE TIED TO OUR PERFORMANCE MEASURES. IF IT DOES HAVE ANY GOOD IMPACT TO THE STATE OF GOOD REPAIR, IT WILL. AND SAME THING WITH TRANSIT. AND IF IT DOES NOT, IT WILL NOT SCORE POINTS. SO THOSE ARE ALL OUR DIFFERENT CRITERIA. SO THIS SLIDE HERE, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT RESULTS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IN THE PAST. SO THIS IS TO THE LEFT IS HOW OUR PRIORITIZATION FACTORS WERE SCORED IN OUR 2045 PLAN. YOU'LL SEE ACCESSIBILITY, MOBILITY AND SAFETY ALL THE WAY AT THE TOP. THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS. THE WEIGHTED APPROACH OR THE COMPOSITE WEIGHTED APPROACH THAT WE RECEIVED FROM OUR TAC CAC AND BOARD WHEN WE LAST TIME WE DID OUR PLAN, THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE SHOWS HOW WE'VE ASKED THE PUBLIC TO RANK THESE PRIORITIZATION FACTORS. AND CONSISTENTLY YOU CAN SEE SAFETY, MOBILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY ALSO COMING UP TO THE TOP. AND THEN MORE RECENTLY AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE HAD OUR TAC MEMBERS RANK THESE FIVE PRIORITIZATION FACTORS OR WEIGHT THEM AND THAT YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS ON THE CHARTS ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT WITH ACCESSIBILITY, MOBILITY AND SAFETY ALSO AT THE TOP OF THAT. SO THAT'S JUST HERE TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL OF THAT INFORMATION THAT WE'VE BEEN COLLECTING, OUR APPROACH, WHAT WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING AT OUR NEXT MEETING. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME MORE TIME, MORE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS TIED TO ALL OF THESE RESULTS, AND THEN WE'LL SHARE WITH YOU WHAT OUR FINAL APPROACH IS FOR OUR PRIORITIZATION, FOR YOU GUYS TO ENDORSE IT. AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, WE CAN WORKSHOP IT SOME MORE. BUT WE'RE OPEN FOR FEEDBACK HERE RIGHT NOW. AND THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I DON'T SEE ANY QUESTIONS. SO I GUESS YOU GAVE US A VERY EFFICIENT, WELL DONE REPORT. SO THANK YOU. FABULOUS. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. SEE YOU FOR PART THREE. ALL RIGHT. SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL GRANT UPDATE. [2. Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Update] GOOD MORNING. JAMES CROMAR WITH THE BROWARD MPO. I HAVE FAZEL QURESHI, WHO ALSO WILL DO PART OF THE PRESENTATION TODAY. WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL GRANT AND THANK YOU TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVING THE AMENDMENT THAT PUTS THIS IN THE TIP THE $5 MILLION FUNDING. WE ARE GOING TO COVER A FEW TOPICS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT IS SS4A, AND THEN WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR SCOPE OF WORK AND THE PROCUREMENT SCHEDULE. THIS IS GOING TO BE A HIGH LEVEL PRESENTATION TOO, SO WE'LL KIND OF GIVE YOU THE BASICS. AND THEN IF YOU DO HAVE QUESTIONS, WE CAN GO INTO GREATER DETAIL. BUT AS WE START OFF THE PLANNING PROCESS, WE ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR EXISTING CONDITIONS ARE. SO WE ARE DEALING WITH BROWARD COUNTY THAT HAS A POPULATION OF ALMOST 2 MILLION PEOPLE. AND WE DID AN ANALYSIS THAT SHOWED THAT THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IS 28.27%. THIS WAS ONE OF THE FACTORS THAT WAS THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WAS LOOKING FOR AS WE APPLIED FOR THE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL FUNDING UNDERSERVED POPULATION AND THEN ALSO [01:00:06] SAFETY. THAT WAS THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT FACTOR. AND AS WE ARE ALL AWARE, BROWARD COUNTY AND SOUTH FLORIDA AND A LOT OF FLORIDA HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH SAFETY. SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE SOME NUMBERS HERE ABOUT THE FIVE YEAR AVERAGE OF CRASHES AND FATALITIES AND SERIOUS INJURIES THAT WE'VE HAD IN BROWARD. IT'S INTERESTING TO ME THAT 85% OF ALL FATAL AND SERIOUS INJURY CRASHES OCCUR ON 8.5% OF THE ROADS. AND I'LL SHOW YOU A GRAPHIC IN JUST A SECOND THAT ILLUSTRATES THAT. AND THEN ALSO, 64 RAIL INCIDENTS SINCE 2018. WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT AND A PROGRAM TO TRY TO ADDRESS SAFETY THERE. BUT AS WE LOOK AT THE 8.5% OF THE ROADS THAT HAVE MOST OF THE CRASHES. I WANTED TO SHOW THIS MAP THAT WE HAVE OF THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK. THIS IS NOT ALL CRASHES, BUT THESE ARE THE CRASHES THAT RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. AND SO ON THE LEFT SIDE, IT'S THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK FOR VEHICLES. AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE, IT'S OUR HIGH INJURY NETWORK FOR BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS. SO IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHERE WE NEED TO BE FOCUSING SOME OF OUR EFFORTS THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME SOLUTION SET FOR ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTY. AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, WE'RE GETTING DIRECTION THAT DEATH AND SERIOUS INJURIES ARE UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS PART OF THE SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH THAT WE WILL HAVE AS A BASIS FOR OUR SAFE STREETS AND FOR ALL ACTION PLAN. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROGRAM, THOUGH. IT DID COME OUT OF THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW, $5 BILLION DOLLARS ALLOCATED OVER FIVE YEARS. THE THE FUNDING IS GOING ALSO NOT ONLY FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS BUT FOR ACTION PLANS AND AND SUPPLEMENTAL ACTIVITIES. AND IT DOES REQUIRE A 20% NON FEDERAL MATCH. THE REASON THE BROWARD MPO THEN DID NOT APPLY FOR FUNDING FOR PROJECTS AS OPPOSED TO JUST DOING AN ACTION PLAN IS THAT WE HAD DONE A LOT OF WORK ON SAFETY, BUT WE DID NOT TICK ALL THE BOXES THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD. WE DONE A BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ACTION PLAN, BUT IT DIDN'T HIT THE EQUITY MEASURES WE'VE DONE AND IT WAS ALSO A LITTLE OUT OF DATE. WE HAD DONE SOME EQUITY ANALYSIS FOR THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN, BUT IT DIDN'T TIC THE SAFETY BOXES. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAME BACK WITH A SOLID PLAN THAT ADDRESSES ALL THE DIFFERENT CRITERIA THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS LOOKING AT. THE BROWARD MPO, AS YOU WELL KNOW, WITH THE DIFFERENT GRANTS WE'RE GETTING, WE'VE SHOWN TO BE EFFECTIVE AT EFFICIENTLY ADMINISTERING PROJECTS. AND THE GRANT ALSO ALLOWED APPLICANTS TO ASK FOR $1 MILLION. BUT MPOS COULD ASK FOR FIVE. SO WE DECIDED LET'S GO AFTER THE GREATER SUM OF MONEY, WHICH NECESSITATED A LOCAL PARTNER. AND SO BROWARD COUNTY, WE WORKED WITH THEM AND THEY KINDLY STEPPED UP TO OFFER AN IN-KIND MATCH FOR SOME PROJECTS THAT THEY ARE ALREADY DOING THAT WILL EQUAL 1.25 MILLION, WHICH IS A 20%. AND ALSO, ONCE WE GET THIS ACTION PLAN DONE, WE WILL THEN BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR IMPLEMENTATION GRANTS. SO WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THIS DONE IN TWO YEARS AND TO APPLY FOR FUNDING TO ACTUALLY DO CONSTRUCTION. IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS TO GET TO THIS. ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION. WE RECEIVED NOTICE AT THE SAFE STREET SUMMIT THAT THE BROWARD MPO HAD RECEIVED THE AWARD ALONG WITH BROWARD COUNTY. OUR GRANT AGREEMENT, FHWA EXECUTED IT ON JULY 5TH, RIGHT AT THE START OF OUR FISCAL YEAR. WE'VE DONE A UPWP AMENDMENT TO HANDLE THE PLANNING ASPECTS OF THAT. A MEMO, A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE COUNTY. THE BOARD HERE APPROVED IT IN JULY AND IT WENT TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION IN AUGUST, A TIP AMENDMENT, AS YOU SAW, AND WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR PROCUREMENT PROCESS. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE PROCUREMENT DEADLINE WAS TUESDAY TO RECEIVE THE SUBMITTALS. AND SO WE RECEIVED A NUMBER THE OTHER DAY. I'M GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO FAZEL HERE. BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PRIORITIES WITH THE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL GRANT PROGRAM. WE NEED TO ENGAGE WITH THE PUBLIC, MAKE SURE WE'RE REACHING OUT TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, PROMOTING SAFETY AND ALIGNING WITH THE USDOT'S MISSION. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE REALLY LIKE, THOUGH, ABOUT BEING EVIDENCE BASED, SO HAVING THE DATA THAT SUPPORTS THE CONCLUSIONS THAT WE ARRIVE AT USING INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND STRATEGIES. AND THEN ALSO LOOKING AT LOW COST, HIGH IMPACT SOLUTIONS, NOT TO SAY THAT WE WON'T HAVE SOME HIGHER COST PROJECTS, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME VARIOUS WAYS THAT WE CAN SPEND A LITTLE MONEY AND GET A LOT OF IMPACT. WITH THAT, LET ME HAND IT OVER TO FAZEL. ALL RIGHT. FAZEL QURESHI. I'M ONE OF THE MOBILITY PROJECT MANAGERS HERE AT THE BROWARD MPO. AND JAMES, THANK YOU FOR THAT INTRODUCTION. SO THE WAY TO GET STARTED IS TO QUIT TALKING AND BEGIN DOING THIS PHRASE BY WALT DISNEY, YOU KNOW, EXACTLY EXEMPLIFIES HOW THE BROWARD MPO, YOU KNOW, CONDUCTS BUSINESS. WE GET PROJECTS FROM PLANNING ALL THE WAY THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION AND WE GET, YOU KNOW, OUR INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS IN THE GROUND. AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT TREND WITH THE SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN GRANT. SO HOW DO WE PUT THE, YOU KNOW, THE SCOPE OF WORK TOGETHER FOR OUR ACTION PLAN? SO THE RFP THAT WENT OUT IS ACTUALLY STRUCTURED AROUND THE EIGHT USDOT IDENTIFIED SS4A COMPONENTS. [01:05:10] SO IN OUR RFQ WE HAVE A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THOSE COMPONENTS REQUIRE AS WELL AS OTHER THINGS THAT BROWARD COUNTY AND BROWARD MPO WANTED THE CONSULTANT TO ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND TO ANALYZE AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR. AND WITH THESE EIGHT SAFETY PLAN COMPONENTS OR TASKS, WE ALSO INCLUDED A PROJECT MANAGEMENT TASK AS PART OF THE SCOPE OF WORK. NOW, WE WANTED THIS ACTION PLAN TO LOOK AT SAFETY FROM A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SAFETY LENSES THAT ALSO WILL ALLOW THIS PLAN TO BE COMPREHENSIVE AS WELL AS PROVIDE STRATEGIES THAT LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES, THE COUNTY, THE STATE OR EVEN THE MPO, CAN PURSUE IN THE FORM OF POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS, COUNTERMEASURE PLANS AND AND VARIOUS PRIORITIZED PROJECT LISTS. YOU KNOW IT'LL ALLOW IT TO BE MODULAR FOR VARIOUS FORMS OF OR VARIOUS AGENCIES TO IMPLEMENT. SO THESE ARE THE 11 SAFETY LENSES THAT WE WANTED THE CONSULTANT TO LOOK AT AND TO PROVIDE THOSE TYPES OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR. AND AS JAMES STATED, BROWARD COUNTY IS PROVIDING THE LOCAL MATCH. THEY'RE PROVIDING IT IN THE FORM OF IN-KIND SERVICES FOR THREE ONGOING STUDIES THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE UNDERWAY, WHICH IS THE BROWARD COUNTY LOW STRESS, MULTIMODAL MOBILITY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MASTER PLAN, THE NEAR-MISS TRAFFIC INCIDENT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM, PILOT STUDY THAT THEY HAVE, AND THE COUNTY WIDE INTERSECTION STUDY. AND THIS ACTION PLAN WILL INCORPORATE THOSE STUDIES AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY EVEN FURTHER VET AND DEVELOP SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT MAY COME OUT OF THESE THREE STUDIES FROM THE COUNTY THROUGH A LOT OF OUR COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION OVER THIS PAST, I WANT TO SAY ALMOST 18 MONTHS. WE AGREED UPON THAT BOTH THE COUNTY AND THE MPO WANTED TO SEE COME OUT OF THIS ACTION PLAN. SO OUR THREE GENERAL SCOPE OUTCOMES THAT WE WANT TO SEE IS, ONE, CREATE AN ACTION PLAN WITH DEFINED GOALS TO IMPROVE SAFETY FOR ALL ROADWAY USERS, TO IDENTIFY PROJECTS AND PREPARE THEM FOR FUNDING AND IMPLEMENTATION. AND THREE, IDENTIFY POLICIES AND PROGRAMS TO INCREASE SAFETY FOR ROADWAY USERS AND TO PREVENT ROADWAY DEATHS AND SERIOUS INJURIES ALONG ALL OF OUR ROADWAYS IN THE COUNTY. BROWARD COUNTY IS LEADING. THE BROWARD MPO IS LEADING THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS FOR THIS GRANT. ABOUT WAS IT SIX WEEKS AGO WE HELD A A SOLICITATION WEBINAR. JAMES AND MYSELF AND AND SOME OF OUR OTHER STAFF MEMBERS. WE REACHED WE HELD A WE DID A PRETTY ROBUST OUTREACH TO TRY TO GARNER A CONSULTANT INTEREST FOR THIS GRANT. SINCE WE DID RECEIVE $5 MILLION, WHICH IS TIED FOR THE LARGEST GRANT THAT WAS AWARDED AS PART OF THIS FIRST CYCLE, WE HAD WE REACHED OUT TO OUR CONSULTANTS THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH, THE COUNTY CONSULTANTS, THE [INAUDIBLE] CONSULTANTS, AND WE ALSO EVEN REACHED OUT TO VARIOUS TRANSPORTATION SOCIETIES AROUND THE COUNTRY TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD. AND WE HAD A LITTLE BIT UNDER 200 CONSULTANTS SIGN UP AND ATTEND A WEBINAR, AND THEN WE HELD TWO WEEKS OF PRE BID MARKETING MEETINGS AND 25 DIFFERENT TEAMS AND CONSULTANTS MET WITH US TO JUST GET A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARIFICATION ON THE SCOPE. SO SHORTLY THEREAFTER WE WENT OUT FOR ADVERTISEMENT AND AS JAMES STATED, THE SUBMITTALS WERE DUE THIS TUESDAY, RIGHT? SO NOW THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE IS GOING TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS OF EVALUATING THOSE PROPOSALS. AND I BELIEVE IT'S THE 21ST OF SEPTEMBER. WE'RE THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD THE THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE MEETING AND THEN SHORTLY THEREAFTER WAS THE SELECTED OR THE TOP X AMOUNT OF FIRMS ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO COME IN TO PROVIDE ORAL PRESENTATIONS. AND SINCE WE ARE ON A PRETTY TIGHT SCHEDULE, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE QUICKLY TOWARDS THE SCOPE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE SELECTED CONSULTING FIRM AND THE COUNTY AND THE BROWARD MPO. AND ON NOVEMBER 2ND WE'RE GOING TO BRING THIS BACK TO YOU ALL TO GET APPROVAL FOR THE SELECTED CONSULTING FIRM SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MTP. AND THAT WILL PUT US ON SCHEDULE TO HAVE A TARGET ACTION PLAN COMPLETION DEADLINE OF JUNE OF 2025. SO THEN THAT WAY WE CAN APPLY FOR IMPLEMENTATION FUNDS FOR THAT CYCLE. THESE ARE JUST SOME RESOURCES THAT JUST WANT TO INFORM YOURSELF ABOUT MORE ABOUT THE SS4A ACTION PLAN AND WHAT'S REQUIRED. BUT YOU CAN ALSO SCAN THE QR CODE THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO OUR BROWARD MPO WEBSITE WHERE ALL THIS INFORMATION IS POSTED AND WE CONTINUOUSLY UPDATE IT. AND WITH THAT, JAMES AND MYSELF ARE OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, I THINK, BECAUSE WE'RE STILL TECHNICALLY UNDERNEATH THE CONE OF SILENCE. [01:10:03] BUT IF YOU EVER WANT TO REACH OUT TO THE SS4A TEAM, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT AT SS4A AT BROWARD NPR.ORG. ALL RIGHT, COMMISSIONER MALLOZZI, THANK YOU. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ABOUT YOUR PLAN PER SE. IT'S MORE ABOUT THE BIKE LANES AND USAGE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I DO RIDE A BICYCLE ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND FOR YEARS ASK MR. STUART. WHEREVER I GO, I'M SENDING PHOTOS OF BIKE LANES AND HOW OTHER COUNTRIES AND OTHER STATES ARE DOING IT. AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT DOESN'T LATCH ON HERE AND MORE PEOPLE DON'T DO IT. SO I AM CONSTANTLY TRYING TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE PEOPLE DO IT. SO MY OBSERVATIONS AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO APPRECIATE THIS OR NOT IS RAIN. THE RAIN THAT WE HAVE HERE IS HORRIFIC. ONE MINUTE IT'S NICE AND THE NEXT MINUTE YOU'RE IN A MONSOON AND YOU'RE RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE. THE STREETS FLOOD AND THERE'S NO SHELTER. AND WE HAVE LIGHTNING AND WE HAVE LIGHTNING STRIKES. SO IF YOU WANT TO RIDE TO WORK, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY CONDUCIVE. SO THAT'S JUST ONE THING THAT I WANT TO BRING OUT. WE HAVE HEAT. WE HAVE SAFETY ISSUES. NOW WE TALK ABOUT BIKE LANES, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A STRIPING. AND WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH CARS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY'RE ON THEIR PHONES, THEY HAVE THEIR COFFEE, THEY HAVE THEIR PODCASTS, THEY HAVE WHATEVER THEIR MAKEUP, AND YOU HAVE A STRIPE AND THAT'S ALL THAT'S SEPARATING YOU AND THAT'S ALL WE END TO DO. SO THEN WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BARCELONA OR YOU TALK ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ARE OLDER THAN WE ARE, WHOSE STREETS ARE OLDER THAN WE ARE, WHOSE BUILDINGS ARE MAJESTIC, THEY HAVE SOMEHOW FOUND WAYS TO ACCOMMODATE BIKE LANES WITH BARRIERS. BUT WE THAT HAVE MODERN STREETS WITH BUILDINGS THAT ARE NOT MAJESTIC CANNOT. AND THE ONLY WAY WE ACCOMMODATE IS WITH A STRIPE. SO WHEN YOU ARE SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO RIDE A BICYCLE AND THAT WOULD LOVE TO GO TO PUBLIX. AND ACTUALLY, EVEN IF I GO TO PUBLIX, THE ONLY PLACE AT MY PUBLIX TO CHAIN MY BICYCLE UP IS TO A BENCH BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A BIKE RACK, WHICH IS ANOTHER THING, AND THAT'S DOWN MY LIST. THE OTHER THING AND AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE, BUT THE OTHER THING THAT YOU HAVE AN ISSUE IS AFFORDABILITY. SO WHEN YOU'RE IN EUROPE AND YOU'RE IN PLACES LIKE THAT, GAS IS CRAZY. PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD IT. CARS, INSURANCE AND SOME COUNTRIES MAKE YOU WAIT. SO YOU GET YOUR LICENSE AND YOU HAVE TO DRIVE AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE X AMOUNT OF HOURS OF EXPERIENCE WAY MORE THAN THE 50 HOURS THAT THEY AND THEY AIR QUOTE THAT THEY MAKE. YOU HAVE YOUR CHILDREN I KNOW THAT BECAUSE MY DAUGHTERS JUST GOT THEIR LICENSE. STAY OFF THE ROADS IF YOU'RE SMART. [LAUGHTER] HERE THEY MAKE YOU HAVE LIKE YEARS ENGLAND IT'S YEARS AND THEN THEY MAKE YOU PUT THESE LARGE STICKERS ON YOUR CAR THAT SAY NEW DRIVER, WHICH IS AWESOME, BUT THEY'RE ACCOMMODATING AND THEY'RE MAKING IT. THEY'RE MAKING IT HARDER FOR DRIVERS AND THEY'RE MAKING IT MORE ACCOMMODATING FOR CYCLISTS WHERE WE ARE NOT. SO WE'RE NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO TAKE MASSIVE TRANSIT AND WE'RE NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO TAKE BICYCLES WHEN THE CAR NEXT TO THEM. I'M SORRY, I JUST I'M ITALIAN. THE CAR NEXT TO THEM IS DOING 45 MILES AN HOUR. AND IT'S JUST A PIECE OF PAINT. SO THANK YOU. IF I MAY RESPOND BRIEFLY. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT WITH THE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL GRANT IS IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO CHART A LONG TERM VISION FOR THE FUTURE. SO IF YOU GO TO PLACES LIKE COPENHAGEN OR AMSTERDAM, THEY WEREN'T WHAT THEY ARE TODAY. A FEW YEARS AGO, GREG HAS EXPERIENCES ABOUT DRIVING THROUGH AMSTERDAM WITH THE TRAFFIC, SO THEY MADE DECISIONS TO GET TO WHERE THEY ARE. AND THE THING ABOUT THE WEATHER, THEY'RE ALSO PLACES IN THE UNITED STATES LIKE MINNEAPOLIS. WELL, NORTH AMERICA, MINNEAPOLIS, MONTREAL HAVE GREAT BICYCLE SYSTEMS AND THEY HAVE TREMENDOUS WEATHER ISSUES, TOO. SO I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO GET PAST IT. BUT I THINK WE'RE AIMING WE HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST GRANT AWARDS IN THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING THAT SETS A STANDARD FOR OTHER PLACES AROUND THE COUNTRY, TOO. SO WE HAVE A CHANCE TO REALLY AIM FOR. IN ADDITION TO AIMING, THOUGH, WE ALSO NEED TO TAKE THE STEPS NOW TO GET TO THOSE PARTS. SO WE WILL BE LOOKING AT A GOAL TO ADDRESS SAFETY. WE WILL BE IDENTIFYING PROJECTS THAT CAN HELP US MOVE FORWARD. AND IN THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE WE HAVE PROBLEMS IN GETTING MORE THAN JUST A BIKE LANE AND PUTTING UP THE THE SHELTERED, BUFFERED FACILITIES, WE ALSO WANT TO ADDRESS POLICIES AND [01:15:02] PROGRAMS THAT MAKE THAT MORE DIFFICULT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE COUNTY IS PROVIDING WITH THEIR LOCAL IN-KIND MATCH IS A LOW STRESS MOBILITY NETWORK PLAN. AND SO THEY'RE LOOKING AROUND THE COUNTY WHERE WE DO HAVE THE LOW STRESS CONNECTIONS ALONG SOME OF THE GREENWAYS. HOW CAN WE MAKE THAT A NETWORK AS OPPOSED TO A SET OF ISOLATED? SO, SO IF WE CAN CHART A BIG PICTURE VISION AND THEN OUTLINE THE STEPS TO GET THERE, MAYBE BY THE TIME YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE YOUR AGE, WE CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT STORY TO TELL. GOOD LUCK WHEN THEY ARE ON THE COMMISSION. SO THANKS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. JAMES AND FAZEL. EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. I'M ASKING FOR THE REVERSE SO THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE THE AIRPORT PRESENT. YES, WE'RE GOING TO REVERSE ITEMS THREE AND FOUR. SO WE'RE GOING TO DO 4 FIRST THE REPORT FROM OUR PARTNER AGENCY, BROWARD COUNTY AVIATION DEPARTMENT, INTERMODAL CENTER AND AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER [4. Report from Partner Agency - Broward County Aviation Department - Intermodal Center & Automated People Mover - MTP Amendment Request] MARK GALE BCAD, CEO. WELCOME BACK. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, MADAM VICE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. SPECIAL GOOD MORNING TO TWO OF MY OWN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU HERE TODAY. JOINED WITH ME ARE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF OUR PLANNING TEAM AT THE AIRPORT. THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON A LOT OF THESE ISSUES AND I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU THIS MORNING ABOUT TWO REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT AND TWO EXCITING PROJECTS THAT I THINK CHANGE NOT ONLY THE NATURE OF FLL, FORT LAUDERDALE-HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, BUT ALSO OUR REGION AND OUR COMMUNITY. OUR TEAM HAS ALREADY PRESENTED TO THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY AND THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEES. LAST MONTH I PRESENTED TO THE SURTAX OVERSIGHT BOARD. LAST MONTH I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. BEFORE WE GET INTO THE PRESENTATION IS JUST TOUCH UPON A FEW THINGS THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT YOUR AIRPORT. HOPEFULLY YOU ARE ALL PATRONS OF FLL AND NOT THAT OTHER AIRPORT A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. [LAUGHTER] ALTHOUGH WE LOVE THEM AND THERE ARE COLLEAGUES AND PARTNERS, WE HOPE THAT YOU DO UTILIZE YOUR AIRPORT HERE RIGHT IN BROWARD COUNTY. BUT WE'RE A VERY, VERY BUSY, BUSY AIRPORT. IF YOU'VE TRAVELED THROUGH OUR FACILITY OF LATE, YOU WILL HAVE TAKEN NOTICE OF THAT. AND IT'S GOING TO GET BUSIER. OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST TEN YEARS, WE'VE INVESTED APPROXIMATELY $2.7 BILLION INTO OUR AIRPORT FACILITIES, STARTING WITH THE NEW SOUTH RUNWAY THAT WENT IN AND WENT OPERATIONAL IN 2014, FOLLOWED BY NUMEROUS TERMINAL IMPROVEMENTS, REPLACEMENTS AND NEW TERMINAL FACILITIES THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED. THERE'S MORE TO DO. THERE'S A LOT MORE TO DO. SOME OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH OUR MASTER PLAN. SOME MAY NOT BE. WE'RE AN ENTERPRISE FUND OF THE COUNTY. WE OPERATE OUR AIRPORT VERY SIMILAR TO A BUSINESS THAT $2.7 BILLION THAT I TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY, ALL BUT ABOUT $250 MILLION THAT CAME FROM THE FAA WAS LARGELY BORNE THROUGH OTHER REVENUES THAT ARE RAISED DIRECTLY AT THE AIRPORT. OUR PARTNERS, THE AIRLINES BACK A LOT OF THE FISCAL DEBT THAT WE HAVE ON BOARD IN RETURN FOR AGREEMENTS WITH US AND OTHER REVENUES THAT WE RAISE AT THE AIRPORT, WHETHER IT BE CAR RENTALS OR CONCESSIONS OR OTHER TYPES OF REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES. BUT WE DON'T TAKE ANY GENERAL TAX FUND DOLLARS. WE WORK HARD WITH OUR PARTNERS TO TRY TO KEEP THE AIRPORT NOT ONLY EFFICIENT, BUT LOW COST AS WE MOVE FORWARD. IN THOSE LAST TEN YEARS, OUR AIRPORT HAS REALIZED REALLY WHAT I THINK IS SOMEWHAT OF AN UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH RATE EVEN WITHIN THE PANDEMIC YEARS. IN 2013, OUR AIRPORT HANDLED APPROXIMATELY 23.5 MILLION PASSENGERS. IN 2019, 36.7 MILLION PASSENGERS, ALMOST A 50% GROWTH IN PASSENGERS. THE SOUTH RUNWAY, THE NEW RUNWAY UNLOCKED A LOT OF THE POTENTIAL OF FLL AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO DO. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHERE WE RANK WITHIN THE UNITED STATES IN TERMS OF HOW BUSY WE ARE. IN 2022, WE WERE THE 17TH BUSIEST AIRPORT IN THE NATION, 17TH BUSIEST AIRPORT IN THE NATION, 20TH IN TERMS OF DOMESTIC TRAFFIC AND 11TH IN TERMS OF INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS THAT TRAVEL THROUGH. SO WHEN WE TAKE THE NUMBER 17 AND YOU SAY, WELL, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO ME AS A TRAVELER, IT MEANS THAT WE'RE PUTTING MORE PASSENGERS THROUGH OUR AIRPORT THAN PLACES LIKE MINNEAPOLIS, LAGUARDIA, PHILADELPHIA, NASHVILLE, DETROIT, SAN DIEGO, RONALD REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT IN D.C., AND I'VE SAID THAT MY BUSINESS MANAGER LOVES ME TO USE THIS PARTICULAR ONE ON THE INTERNATIONAL SIDE, BEING THE 11TH BUSIEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN THE COUNTRY, WE PROCESS MORE INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS THAN LAGUARDIA, SALT LAKE CITY, TAMPA, MIDWAY, SAN ANTONIO, BWI AND PORTLAND, OREGON COMBINED. COMBINED. IT'S BUSY AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING. [01:20:06] BUT WE'RE ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF VICTIMS OF OUR OWN SUCCESS WITH GROWTH SOMETIMES COMES GROWING PAINS. AND WE'VE REALIZED SOME OF THOSE GROWING PAINS IN CERTAIN PARTS OF OUR FACILITY THAT HIGH WATER MARK THAT I MENTIONED, 36.7 MILLION. WE'RE JUST ABOUT BACK TO THAT HIGH WATER MARK. THIS YEAR WE ANTICIPATE WE'LL FINISH THE YEAR JUST AT ABOUT 35 MILLION PASSENGERS AND WE'LL BE BACK TO WHERE WE WERE PRE-PANDEMIC NEXT YEAR. WHERE WE WERE PRE-PANDEMIC WAS ESSENTIALLY STARTING TO BUST AT THE SEAMS AND SEEING THOSE GROWING PAINS, IF YOU WILL, MANIFEST THEMSELVES ON OUR ROADWAYS, IN OUR PARKING LOTS, CONGESTION. SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE COME TO THE AIRPORT OF LATE TO TRY TO TAKE A TRIP OUT, FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO PARK PARKING LOTS ARE FULL, MAY HAVE COME TO PICK SOMEBODY UP AND FOUND A LOT OF VEHICLES ON THE ROADWAY DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE OUR ROADWAYS. THE PROJECTS THAT I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT ARE HOPEFULLY GOING TO ADDRESS THOSE AND SET THE AIRPORT UP FOR SUCCESS, NOT JUST FOR TEN YEARS OR 20 YEARS, BUT LONG INTO THE FUTURE. THEY'RE NOT EASY PROJECTS. THEY'RE VERY COMPLEX AND THEY'RE VERY EXPENSIVE, BUT THEY ARE THINGS THAT WE BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO DO. WE ARE WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS A HIGH O AND D OR ORIGIN DESTINATION AIRPORT, MEANING MOST FOLKS THAT UTILIZE OUR AIRPORT ARE EITHER STARTING OR STOPPING THEIR TRIP AT OUR FACILITY, WHICH PUTS GREAT, GREAT PRESSURE ON THE LANDSIDE PORTIONS OF OUR AIRPORT. NOT LIKE AN ATLANTA OR A DALLAS OR A CHICAGO OR PHILADELPHIA. WE'RE JUST GOING FROM ONE AIRPLANE TO ANOTHER AIRPLANE CONNECTING. WE GET GREAT PRESSURE PUT ON THERE BECAUSE WE'RE SUN WE'RE SAND. WE'RE BEACHES, WE'RE CRUISES. PEOPLE ARE COMING HERE TO VACATION. AND THAT PUTS GREAT PRESSURE. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT IF WE WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL HERE IN THE FUTURE. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THESE TWO PROJECTS, THE AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER OR WHAT WE REFER TO AS THE APM OR THE INTERMODAL CENTER, WE GO BACK TO ACRONYMS. I APOLOGIZE. WE LIVE IN AN ACRONYM, WORLD RICH ACRONYM WORLD IN AIRPORT INDUSTRY HERE. BUT ON THE APM SIDE, THREE OUT OF THERE'S FOUR LARGE HUB AIRPORTS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, MIAMI, TAMPA, ORLANDO AND FORT LAUDERDALE. THREE OUT OF FOUR HAVE AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER SYSTEMS. ONE DOESN'T. THAT'S US. THAT'S US. TAMPA AND ORLANDO HAVE HAD THEIR AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER SYSTEMS SINCE THE EARLY 1970S. MIAMI HAS HAD IT SINCE 2011. WE ARE WAY PAST DUE ON HOW WE MOVE PEOPLE AROUND OUR FACILITY AND WE NEED TO DO BETTER IF WE HAVE ANY INTENTIONS ON HOW TO GROW. THE INTERMODAL CENTER IS ANTICIPATED TO BE A NEXUS THAT WILL CONNECT AIRPORT TO SEAPORT TO RAIL AND TO MANY OTHER FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION RIGHT OFF THE EAST END OF THE AIRPORT. AND FOR SOME OF YOU, THESE ARE NOT NEW CONCEPTS. YOU HAVE SEEN THESE CONCEPTS IN THE PAST THAT HAVE MANIFESTED THEMSELVES IN THE EARLY 2000S, UNFORTUNATELY, NOT TO COME TO FRUITION. TERMS LIKE SUNPORT WERE UTILIZED THAT STARTED BUT DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE. THESE WERE REVAMPED THROUGH OUR MASTER PLANNING PROCESS AND BROUGHT FORWARD, APPROVED BY OUR COUNTY COMMISSION, APPROVED BY OTHER REGULATORY AGENCIES. THE PANDEMIC SLOWED US DOWN. IN FACT, WE WEREN'T EVEN SURE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC. AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION, YOU'LL SEE I THINK WE HAVE POSITIVE NEWS TO REPORT ON THAT. IF THIS WORKS, THE WAY THAT I HOPE IT WORKS IS THAT WHEN I PRESS THIS CLICK, YOU SHOULD SEE A FOUR MINUTE VIDEO WHICH KIND OF CAPTURES SOME OF WHAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT. BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T PAID ATTENTION TO WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THE AIRPORT, THIS IS A REALLY GOOD FOUR MINUTES TO SPEND. AND I APOLOGIZE TO SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES WHO MAY HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE. I GAVE A PRESENTATION RECENTLY TO THE POMPANO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WE GAVE TO THE SURTAX. COMMISSIONER ROGERS WAS DOWN TO VISIT WITH ME RECENTLY. WE THINK IT DOES A REALLY GOOD, GREAT JOB OF CAPTURING THE BIG, BIG, BIG PICTURE OF THE AIRPORT AND THEN WHAT WE REFER TO AS PHASE ONE, A SERIES OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT WILL TAKE US PROBABLY ABOUT 12 TO 15 YEARS TO IMPLEMENT AND CONTINUE TO ALLOW THE AIRPORT TO BE THE ECONOMIC ENGINE THAT IT IS. ON THE ECONOMIC ENGINE SIDE, WE DID AN ECONOMIC STUDY, JUST PRIOR IMPACT STUDY JUST PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC. WE ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST, IF NOT THE LARGEST ECONOMIC ENGINE IN BROWARD AT $37.5 BILLION ANNUALLY. WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER 16,000 BADGED EMPLOYEES THAT WORK DIRECTLY AT THE AIRPORT. AND WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE ECONOMIC MODELING, OVER 250,000 PEOPLE DERIVE THEIR LIVELIHOOD IN SOME FORM OR FASHION FROM THE OPERATION OF THE AIRPORT. SO IT IS IMPORTANT, I THINK, FOR ALL OF US AS A COMMUNITY, AS A REGION, HOPEFULLY WHEN WE GO THROUGH THESE PROJECTS AND THE REQUEST TO HAVE THESE PROJECTS INCLUDED AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2045 MTP, YOU'LL HAVE AN APPRECIATION FOR THAT. SO HERE IT GOES. IF I PRESS THE RIGHT BUTTON. [01:25:01] MASTER PLAN HAS ESTABLISHED A VISION FOR THE AIRPORT, WHICH CULMINATES WITH A 95 GATE BUILD OUT GATE OUT, ALONG WITH THE TERMINAL AND LANDSIDE. LANDSIDE NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE ASSOCIATED PASSENGER AND BAGGAGE DEMAND, AS WELL AS THE CORRESPONDING PRIVATE AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ACTIVITY. THE AIRFIELD. THE VISION FOR FLL HAS BEEN DIVIDED INTO THREE PRIMARY PHASES FOR IMPLEMENTATION PURPOSES. PHASE ONE REPRESENTS A 77 GATE BUILDOUT. IT INCLUDES EXPANSION OF THE TERMINAL FACILITIES NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE 77 GATES. SIGNIFICANT LANDSIDE CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS THAT ALSO ENHANCE PASSENGER CONNECTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE TERMINAL AREA. PHASE ONE ALSO PROVIDES NEW CUSTOMER AMENITIES LIKE A NEW AIRPORT, HOTEL AND ADJACENT COMMERCIAL CENTER. PHASE TWO FURTHER EXPANDS THE AIRPORT TO 85 TOTAL GATES AND REPLACES SOME OF FLL'S OLDER CONCOURSES AND ASSOCIATED TERMINAL FACILITIES. PHASE THREE ADDS THE INCREMENTAL TEN GATES RESULTING IN THE 95 GATE BUILDOUT ENVISIONED FOR FLL. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PHASE ONE PROGRAM WILL BE CONTINUALLY REVALIDATED AND ALIGNED TO DEMAND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AND AFFORDABILITY. PHASE ONE BEGINS WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW OVERNIGHT AIRCRAFT PARKING POSITIONS SOUTH OF CONCOURSE G AND TERMINAL FIVE, WHICH IS LOCATED EAST OF TERMINAL FOUR. PROVISIONS FOR A SECONDARY AIRSIDE ACCESS GATE ADJACENT TO T5 IS INCLUDED IN THE SITE PLAN. LANDSIDE IMPROVEMENTS IN PHASE ONE COMMENCES WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE INTERMODAL CENTER PLANNED TO SERVE AS A HUB FOR TRANSIT, CHARTER BUS OPERATIONS AND OTHER MODES OF REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION ON THE GROUND LEVEL, WHILE HAVING MULTIPLE PARKING DECKS ABOVE ESTIMATED TO PROVIDE APPROXIMATELY 6700 VEHICLE SPACES. CONCURRENT WITH THE INTERMODAL CENTER CONSTRUCTION, THE BUILDOUT OF FLLS AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER WOULD BE INITIATED AND OPERATED AS A PINCHED LOOP SYSTEM WITH PASSENGER LOADING AND UNLOADING STATIONS ADJACENT TO OR NEAR EACH OF THE TERMINALS. ONCE THE INTERMODAL CENTER IS COMPLETE, THE FULL DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING PALM GARAGE WOULD OCCUR. THE DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING PALM GARAGE IS NEEDED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERAL LANDSIDE CAPACITY ENHANCING PROJECTS AND NEW REVENUE PRODUCING AMENITIES FOR FLL, INCLUDING A SUPPLEMENTAL ARRIVALS LEVEL CURB FOR TERMINALS TWO, THREE AND FOUR. A LARGER CAPACITY PALM GARAGE, A NEW AIRPORT HOTEL AND A COMMERCIAL CENTER HAVING FOOD, BEVERAGE, RETAIL VENUES, ENTERTAINMENT AND DWELLING SPACES FOR PASSENGERS AND CUSTOMERS AS THE LANDSIDE CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS ARE ONGOING. TERMINAL FOUR IS CONCOURSE G WOULD BE EXPANDED TO THE WEST TO PROVIDE THE 77 GATE BUILDOUT PROPOSED UNDER PHASE ONE. THE CONCOURSE G EXPANSION WILL PROVIDE SIX NEW GATES AND REPLACE FIVE DOMESTIC GATES LOCATED WITHIN CONCOURSE F, THE RESULTING GATES AND CONCOURSE G WOULD BE CAPABLE OF HANDLING DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS. TERMINAL FOUR WOULD BE EXPANDED TO THE WEST FOR ADDITIONAL PASSENGER AND BAGGAGE PROCESSING NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE NEW GATES. THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FEDERAL INSPECTION SERVICES FACILITY CAPABLE OF PROCESSING UP TO 3500 INTERNATIONAL ARRIVING PASSENGERS PER HOUR WITH ROOM FOR FURTHER EXPANSION IN THE FUTURE IS ALSO INCLUDED. AIRFIELD IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT THE CONCOURSE G WEST EXPANSION WOULD OCCUR AS WELL. I PLAY THAT EVERY NIGHT BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP AND I TURN THE VOLUME UP REALLY, REALLY LOUD. THAT'S MY DREAM. REALLY, REALLY GOOD. [LAUGHTER] THERE'S A FEW PIECES TO THIS, OBVIOUSLY, TO MAKE IT ALL WORK. COMMISSIONERS FURR ROGERS AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STUART ARE KEENLY AWARE OF THEM, BUT THERE EXISTS AN MOU BETWEEN BROWARD COUNTY AND THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE REFER TO AS THE PROGRAM. THREE VERY DISTINCT PROJECTS THE AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER SYSTEM THAT WAS REFERENCED THERE, THE INTERMODAL CENTER THAT WAS REFERENCED, BUT ALSO THE AIRPORT SEAPORT CONNECTOR TO CONNECT OUR AIRPORT TO OUR SEAPORT, TO THE CONVENTION CENTER AND TO THE NEW HOTEL THAT'S THERE. THAT IS NOT AN THE LAST ONE IS NOT A PROJECT BEING LED BY THE AIRPORT PER SE. [01:30:05] WE ARE ENGAGED IN THAT. BUT THAT WILL BE LED BY BROWARD COUNTY TRANSPORTATION. I'M SURE DIRECTOR COREE CUFF LONERGAN HAS EITHER TALKED ABOUT IT OR WILL TALK ABOUT IT TO THE BOARD. I'M HERE TO REALLY TALK ABOUT THESE TWO PROJECTS AND HOPEFULLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THEM. WE'LL JUST GIVE A CURRENT OVERVIEW ON THE PROJECT STATUS, THE PROGRAM SUMMARY WHERE WE ARE WITH ROUGH ORDER OF MAGNITUDE, COST AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE EITHER HAVEN'T HAD ALREADY OR PURSUING. AND THEN WE'LL DO THE SAME THING FOR THE AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER SYSTEM. SORRY. NO. CAN YOU. WELL, THAT'S STARTING AT THE BEGINNING. YOU HAVE THE PARTY HATS ON INSIDE THE CONTROLS OVER THERE. I CAN PLAY THE VIDEO AGAIN. THERE YOU GO. I THINK THEY ARE STILL MESMERIZED. I SHOULD WORK. ALL RIGHT. THE GREEN BUTTON. WHERE? THE ONE ON THE RIGHT. YES, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. OKAY. HUH? DOESN'T LIKE YOU? YEAH, IT DOESN'T LIKE ME. IT'S GOING BACK. OKAY. THERE WE GO. VERY GOOD. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. TECHNICALLY, THAT WORKS FOR ME. YOU WANT TO STAY HERE AND HOLD THAT FOR ME? YEAH I WILL. NO, I'M JUST. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I HAD TO HELP COREE, TOO. THERE YOU GO. THANKS. APPRECIATE YOU. WE'RE GOOD. ALL RIGHT. SO MPU ON THE ACRONYM SCALE AGAIN? IS OUR MASTER PLAN UPDATE KEY MILESTONE UPDATES. THE BOARD APPROVED. THAT IS, THE COUNTY COMMISSION APPROVED US TO SUBMIT THE MASTER PLAN UPDATE TO THE FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES. AND IN THE 2019 TIME FRAME THEY TOOK A WHILE TO REVIEW IT. FDOT APPROVED IT IN 2021. THE FAA FOLLOWED IN FEBRUARY OF 2021. THE BOARD APPROVAL ALSO AMENDED THE MASTER PLAN CONTRACT DUE TO THE EMERGENCE OF COVID 19. WE WEREN'T SURE HOW WE WERE GOING TO POP OUT ON THE OTHER END. TRAFFIC HAD DROPPED TO THE COMPLETE FLOOR. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A SECULAR SHIFT IN HOW PEOPLE TRAVELED OR HOW LONG IT WAS GOING TO TAKE TO EMERGE FROM THE PANDEMIC. SO WE KEPT OUR MASTER PLAN TEAM ON AND THEY DID WHAT WE REFERRED TO AS A REVALIDATION OF THE FORECAST ANALYSIS. THOSE NUMBERS THAT I TALKED ABOUT HITTING 35 MILLION PASSENGERS THIS YEAR. BY THE YEAR 2035 IN AN UNCONSTRAINED FORECAST, OUR AIRPORT IS EXPECTED TO HANDLE APPROXIMATELY 52 MILLION PASSENGERS. THAT'S AN UNCONSTRAINED FORECAST. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS IT ONLY HAPPENS IF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE IN ORDER TO SUPPORT IT. IF YOU DON'T PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE, WE'LL BE CAPPED OUT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH COULD POTENTIALLY STAGNATE GOING FORWARD. WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS, UPDATE THE ACTIVITY RECOVERY FORECAST, REASSESS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, AS WELL AS THE PROJECT TIMING COMPLETE SOME FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENTS THAT WAS DONE EARLIER THIS YEAR. WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD SENSE OF WHERE WE ARE WITH RESPECT TO RECOVERY. THERE'S STILL SOME OF OUR AIRLINES AND STILL SOME OF THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY IN GENERAL THAT AREN'T WHERE WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE, INCLUDING SOME OF THE AIRLINES THAT OPERATE AT FLL. BUT THEY'RE GETTING THERE. WE ANTICIPATE THAT THEY WILL SEE 2024 IN BETTER LIGHT. AGAIN, THE PROGRAM EVOLUTION. YOU'VE SEEN SOME OF THIS BEFORE, SUNPORT THE PD&E STUDY IN JUNE OF 2009. ONE OVERALL PROGRAM, THE LEAD AGENCY, WAS FEDERAL HIGHWAY ONE, NEPA ACTION. THE PROJECT OUTCOME, A TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING WERE APPROVED BY FHWA, BUT DIDN'T REALLY GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT. YOU ALSO RECALL IN THAT 2007, EIGHT NINE TIME FRAME, WE WERE IN THE MIDST OF THE RECESSION, THE MAJOR RECESSION. CURRENT PROJECTS CONTEXT THREE DISTINCT PARTS. THE AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER CIRCULATOR, THE INTERMODAL CENTER AND THE AIRPORT SEAPORT CONVENTION CENTER CONNECTOR. YOU'LL SEE THE FEC CORRIDOR THAT COMES RIGHT DOWN ADJACENT TO THE AIRPORT, WHERE THERE'S ONGOING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT COMMUTER RAIL AS WELL AS POTENTIAL FOR BRIGHTLINE. AND YOU CAN SEE OUR GARAGES RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PALM GARAGE. YOU SAW IN THE VIDEO THAT THE PALM GARAGE ACTUALLY CALLS FOR IT TO GET DEMOLISHED. AND YOU SAY, WHY WOULD YOU DEMOLISH A GARAGE? FOR LOTS OF DIFFERENT REASONS. WE CAN'T COMPLETE THE APM CIRCULATOR WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE PALM GARAGE THERE. IT IS OUR SMALLEST AND OLDEST GARAGE. IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 2400 PARKING SPACES AND WE CAN'T FIX THE ROADWAYS UNDERNEATH AND PROVIDE NEW SUPPLEMENTAL CURB WITH THAT PALM GARAGE IN ITS CURRENT LOCATION. SO WHILE WE WOULD TAKE IT DOWN, AS YOU SAW IN THE VIDEO, WE CAN'T FOREGO THE VERTICAL ASSET THAT EXISTS ABOVE THE GROUND RIGHT THERE, MEANING A NEW PALM GARAGE, A HOTEL, A COMMERCIAL CENTER. [01:35:01] WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE WE HAVE FOLKS COMING BACK AND FORTH SIX MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR BETWEEN PORT EVERGLADES AND CRUISES AND OUR AIRPORT. BUT WHEN YOU GET OFF A CRUISE SHIP AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING, YOU COME TO THE AIRPORT AND YOUR FLIGHT DOESN'T LEAVE UNTIL 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU'RE SITTING AROUND ON THE FLOORS. WE BELIEVE WE CAN PROVIDE IT FOR A BETTER EXPERIENCE THERE. AND THE COMMERCIAL CENTER, THAT'S PART OF THAT PARTICULAR PIECE OF THE PROGRAM WILL ADDRESS SOME OF THAT. WHERE ARE WE? WE COMPLETED A LOT OF THE PLANNING AND EARLY ELEMENTS UNDER THE MASTER PLAN WENT THROUGH THE ADVANCED PLANNING. WE'RE INTO THE FINAL OF THE ADVANCED PLANNING AND THE PROGRAMING OR PROJECT DEFINITION DOCUMENT DEFINITION PHASE. YOU CAN SEE THE TASKS THAT ARE LINING UP ALONG THE BOTTOM. THE TWO PROJECTS ALSO HAVE JUST BEGUN THEIR REQUIRED ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS, THE NEPA ACTION. THEY WERE RECENTLY GIVEN A GREEN LIGHT BY THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION UNDER CLASS OF ACTION ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT, THE TEAM IS ALREADY HARD AT WORK, HAS MET WITH THE FAA. WE HAVE A CONSULTANT ON BOARD. TAKE US APPROXIMATELY 12 MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORK, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE MOVING ON CONCURRENT TRACKS ON PREPARING ALL THE DOCUMENTATION NECESSARY TO MOVE OUT, TO HEAD TOWARDS DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND COMMISSIONING. THE INTERMODAL CENTER TO TAKE A CROSS-SECTION OF IT. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? THAT'S A CONCEPTUAL RENDERING. OBVIOUSLY, IT MIGHT CHANGE A LITTLE BIT WHEN WE GET INTO FORMALIZED DESIGN. YOU CAN SEE COMING OUT OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE WHAT APPEARS TO BE ANOTHER SET OF GUIDE RAILS GUIDEWAYS, THAT IS THE AIRPORT SEAPORT CONNECTOR IN A CONCEPTUAL RENDERING THAT GOES OFF TO CONNECT AGAIN TO THE CRUISE TERMINALS INTO THE HOTEL. THE OTHER SIDE, CLOSER TO THE GARAGE. THE RENTAL CAR CENTER IS THE APM SYSTEM. ON THE FIRST FLOOR, TRANSIT PASSENGERS DROP OFFS, AIR AND CRUISE PASSENGER EXCHANGES WOULD OCCUR ON LEVELS THREE THROUGH FIVE ON THE REVENUE GENERATING OPPORTUNITIES. CONCESSIONS POTENTIALLY ON LEVEL THREE FOR FOLKS THAT ARE JUST TRANSITING MAY NOT BE COMING INTO THE AIRPORT. THEY MAY COME IN TO THE FACILITY VIA BUS, VIA A TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANY OR UBER OR LYFT, AS YOU WOULD KNOW THEM TO BE, OR POTENTIALLY ON RAIL, ON COMMUTER RAIL OR BRIGHTLINE. I WANT TO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY IF THEY NEED TO GRAB SOMETHING THERE. POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE UPPER LEVELS. EIGHT THAT WILL BE EVALUATED AS WE GET INTO THE PROCESS TO SEE WHAT MARKET CONDITIONS ARE. AND WHAT YOU'RE HEARING A LOT OF THESE DAYS IS THE EMERGENCE FOR FOLKS THAT ARE AS OLD AS I AM IN GEORGE JETSON TERRITORY FLYING AROUND IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES, EVTOL ELECTRIC, VERTICAL TAKEOFF AND LANDING, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT IN OUR LIFETIMES. YOU WILL SEE THAT ACTUALLY FLYING AROUND WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, MAY NOT BE OVERHEAD IN FORT LAUDERDALE, MAY START OFF A LITTLE BIT SMALLER AND MAYBE IN SOME MORE RURAL AREAS. BUT IN URBAN AREAS, YOU WILL START TO SEE VTOL OPERATIONS HERE IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. AND OF COURSE, THE PARKING OPERATION IS REALLY CRITICAL FOR US AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO PROVIDE PARKING SPACES. ROUGH ORDER OF MAGNITUDE. I WOULD JUST DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE LAST BOX ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. THE PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT APPROXIMATELY $835 MILLION DOLLARS. THAT INCLUDES ALL OUR CONSTRUCTION COSTS, ALLOWANCES, CONTINGENCIES AND SOFT COSTS. THESE WERE $2,021. WE HAVE SEEN CONSTRUCTION COSTS GO UP. WE'RE LOOKING FOR CONSTRUCTION COSTS TO GO DOWN. THIS WILL BE CONTINUALLY EVALUATED. BUT THESE ARE THE LATEST COSTS THAT WE HAVE TO DATE. FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FALL IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT BUCKETS. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS, AND MISS WALLACE IS HERE AND WE'VE WORKED WITH HER. THANK YOU, ANGELA, FOR WORKING WITH US ON IDENTIFYING WHAT MIGHT BE SURTAX ELIGIBLE AND WHAT ISN'T WITHIN THE PROGRAM. WE'RE CONSTANTLY OUR FINANCE TEAM IS LOOKING AT A VARIETY OF FEDERAL AND STATE, BOTH GRANTS AND LOANS, TO SEE HOW WE MAY APPLY THIS GARBS. AGAIN, ACRONYM RICH GENERAL AIRPORT REVENUE BONDS. MOST OF THE WORK AT THE AIRPORT IS COVERED BY BONDS THAT WE ISSUE ON THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE COUNTY, BACKED BY THE REVENUES THAT ARE GENERATED SOLELY AT THE AIRPORT. THAT DEBT SERVICE IS THEN FUNNELED INTO OUR RATES AND CHARGES THAT THE AIRLINES PAY FOR. SO AGAIN, THEY ARE THE BACKER, IF YOU WILL, THE FINANCIAL BACKSTOP. THERE ARE THIRD PARTY OPPORTUNITIES, FUNDING SOURCE FOR OTHER COMMERCIAL AND REVENUE PRODUCING SPACES THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, WHETHER IT BE CONCESSIONS OR OFFICE SPACE OR WHATNOT. ON THE APM, WE'RE CURRENTLY WE'VE FINISHED A LOT OF THE ADVANCED PLANNING AND THE PROGRAM DEFINITION DOCUMENT. WE'RE LITERALLY ALMOST READY TO BEGIN THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS WITH THIS. MOST ALL AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER SYSTEMS IN THE UNITED STATES WERE DONE UNDER WHAT THEY REFER TO AS A DBOM OR A DESIGN BUILD, OPERATE AND MAINTAIN. [01:40:01] THEY ARE VERY COMPLEX AND TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING SYSTEMS AT TIMES. SO AIRPORTS HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU GET THE FOLKS THAT CAN DESIGN THE GUIDEWAYS AND THE SYSTEMS FOLKS THAT MANUFACTURES THE CARS, YOU'RE STILL GOING TO NEED SOMEBODY TO OPERATE THIS AND MAKE SURE IT'S AVAILABLE 99.99999% OF THE TIME SO PASSENGERS CAN MOVE AROUND. SO THEY GENERALLY RELEASE THIS AS PART OF A DBOM PACKAGE FOR A 12, 15, POTENTIALLY AS LONG AS 20 YEAR OPERATION GOING FORWARD. BUT WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE THUS FAR WITH THE APM, THE OVERVIEW, THE CONNECTIVITY. IT WILL CONNECT TO ALL OF THE TERMINALS, TO THE RENTAL CAR CENTER, TO THE FUTURE TERMINAL FIVE. I DIDN'T TALK ABOUT TERMINAL FIVE. WE WILL HAVE A GROUNDBREAKING IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE TO BREAK GROUND FOR TERMINAL FIVE, A $400 MILLION FIVE GATE FACILITY THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE LOWER RIGHT HAND PART OF THE PICTURE RIGHT THERE. IT DOES CONNECT BACK INTO TERMINAL FOUR. THAT IS REALLY INCREMENTAL GROWTH FOR US TO JUST KEEP OURSELVES MOVING. WHEN WE GO TO BUILD THAT VERY LARGE FIRST PHASE EXTENSION TO THE TERMINAL FOUR G CONCOURSE WILL ACTUALLY LOSE GATES FOR A WHILE. SO WE NEED A LITTLE BIT OF SWING SPACE. TERMINAL FIVE IS GOING TO HELP SUIT THAT PURPOSE. SIX AUTOMATED PEOPLE, MOVER STATIONS, 16,000 LINEAR FEET OF DUAL GUIDEWAY AND AN ON AIRPORT MAINTENANCE STORAGE FACILITY WITH POWER DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATIONS LOCATED THROUGHOUT. WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN THIS AS WELL. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THE TERM PINCHED LOOP IN THE VIDEO. WHAT THAT ESSENTIALLY MEANS IS IN THE BEGINNING, FOR ABOUT THE FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION, THE APM WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO FULLY ALL THE WAY AROUND. IT WILL ONLY GO LIKE A BIG U-SHAPE APOLOGIES, BIG U-SHAPED UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE PALM GARAGE IS TAKEN DOWN. THEN WE CAN FINISH OFF THE FULL CIRCULAR LOOP OF THE APM. THE GOAL IS TO BUILD THE INTERMODAL CENTER FIRST. DO NOT TAKE THE PALM GARAGE DOWN UNTIL THE INTERMODAL CENTER IS CONSTRUCTED AND IN OPERATION BECAUSE WE NEED THOSE PARKING SPACES FOR THE AIRPORT. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT CHALLENGING FOR US ON THE APM TO PROVIDE FOR A FULL LOOP. IF I TAKE THE PALM GARAGE DOWN TOO EARLY TO GET THE CIRCULAR LOOP, I WON'T HAVE PARKING READY FOR THE IMC. NOW YOU CAN SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT FULL LOOP REDEVELOPED PALM GARAGE WITH ALL THE STATIONS INTACT, BOTH THE IMC AND THE APM. YOU MAY HAVE CAUGHT THE DATES IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER. ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION IN THE YEARS FY 2029, FY 2030 TIME FRAME. WE'LL BE WORKING COLLECTIVELY AS A TEAM WITH WHOEVER WE BRING ON BOARD TO CONSTRUCT A BETTER THOSE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE DESPERATELY NEEDED. THIS ALSO COMES IN IN THE $850 MILLION RANGE. THIS ONE IS AT $855 MILLION. YOU CAN SEE THE ESCALATED COST AND THE ESCALATED COST IN THE 2026 TIME FRAME. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THESE COSTS AND CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE NOT. BUT IN THE END, I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT THESE ARE BIG, EXPENSIVE PROJECTS. MUCH OF THE COST WILL COME AS A RESULT OF A NEGOTIATION WITH OUR AIRLINES GOING FORTH IN THE FUTURE ABOUT HOW THESE COSTS WILL BE ADDED TO THE AIRPORT'S DEBT AND PICKED UP THROUGH ONGOING RATES AND CHARGES AND AGREEMENTS. ALLOCATIONS TO DATE, FUNDING PARTICIPATION HAS BEEN LIMITED TO FDOT 50% OF THE MATCHING SHARE BCAD CASH. THAT'S OUR OWN INTERNAL DOLLARS FIRST MILLION FOR PLANNING AND PROGRAM TWO GRANTS UNDER AVIATION WORK PROGRAM TOTALING $64 MILLION, WHICH INCLUDES OUR 50% MATCH HAVE BEEN EXECUTED TO DATE AND CURRENT FUNDING ALLOCATION IS APPROXIMATELY 135 MILLION FOR THE APM, NOT INCLUDING THE LOCAL MATCH. WE ALSO HAVE REQUEST INTO FDOT TO DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THAT NUMBER IN ORDER TO PULL THIS OFF. WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER SYSTEMS THAT WERE DONE AT OTHER AIRPORTS, AT TAMPA, AT MIAMI AND IN ORLANDO, THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS THAT WERE EXPENDED. FDOT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PARTNER TO THE AIRPORT. AND WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT PARTNERSHIP GROW AND LOOK FOR MORE OPPORTUNITIES HERE. ADDITIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, GRANTS, AIP OR AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS. WE ARE PURSUING BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW OR BILL MONIES THROUGH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE FAA, THE BROWARD COUNTY SURTAX PROGRAM. WE'VE IDENTIFIED APPROXIMATELY $380 MILLION THAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND THEN PRESENTED TO OUR COUNTY COMMISSION TO BE INCLUDED WITHIN OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM. AND THEN THE CATCH ALL OBVIOUSLY, IS BONDS FOR THE AIRPORT. WE DO SELL A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF BONDS. SO WITH THAT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I KNOW I'VE TAKEN A LOT OF YOUR TIME. I'M HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, TRY TO KEEP YOU ON SCHEDULE. OH, COMMISSIONER OLDAKER. OOPS. I LIVE IN LAUDERDALE BY THE SEA. I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 30 YEARS AND MY HOME HAS BECOME A FREE VACATION DESTINATION FROM THE NORTHEAST. AND IT ALSO INCLUDES FREE PICKUP AND DELIVERY FROM THE AIRPORT. [01:45:02] AND I HAVE TO COMPLIMENT YOU ON HOW EASY THAT HAS BECOME. BUT I DO. I AM ALSO AN AVIATION ENTHUSIAST, SO I LIKE TO ARRIVE AT THE AIRPORT EARLY AND WATCH THE PLANES TAKE OFF AND LAND AT THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE AIRPORT BY 95. YOU HAVE AN OBSERVATION PARKING LOT, WHICH IS KIND OF A HIDDEN SECRET BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ON THE CELL PHONE LOT UNDERNEATH, WHICH IS CHAOTIC. I HAVE A BIG RAM PICKUP TRUCK, SO IT'S VERY TIGHT IN THERE. SO I LIKE TO GO TO THAT LOT AND WATCH THEM ARRIVE. I HOPE YOU CAN ENHANCE THAT BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING, IN THE 30 YEARS YOU USED TO HAVE A BIG MOUND THERE AND YOU COULDN'T SEE THE FULL EFFECT OF THE RUNWAY, THE PLANES LANDING AND TAKING OFF. AND SO I HOPE YOU MAINTAIN THAT AND ENHANCE THAT. IT'S EASY ACCESS, EASY TO LEAVE THAT. AND THE BEST OF ALL IS I GET TO SEE THOSE FREE VACATION PACKAGE PEOPLE LEAVE AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE GOING BACK NORTH. [LAUGHTER] SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE I CAN SEE THEM TAKE OFF. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE]. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY GREAT PRESENTATION. I MEAN, IT'S GOOD TO SEE HOW WE'RE ON THE MOVE AGAIN. I'VE BEEN A CITY COMMISSIONER IN SUNRISE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE BUILDING OF THE SAWGRASS MILLS MALL AND [INAUDIBLE], ALSO THE ARENA. I JUST WANT TO SAY, WHEN MR. [INAUDIBLE] CAME TO SUNRISE AND WANTED TO BUILD THE ARENA AND NEEDED $250 MILLION, THEY DID IT THROUGH THE BED TAX. THERE'S LIKE A SMALL LITTLE PERCENTAGE, AND I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO END IN 2028. SO TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA MONEY THAT CAN BE USED. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN USE IT FOR THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORTS, BUT THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD GENERATE A COUPLE HUNDRED MILLION RIGHT THERE. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE. GOT OUR EYES ON IT. YOU GOT YOUR, I'M SURE YOU DO? [LAUGHTER] WELL, I REALLY LIKE THAT BECAUSE I WANTED TO HEAR HIM SAY THAT, BECAUSE NOW I KNOW THE PANTHERS ARE NOT GOING TO MOVE TO FORT LAUDERDALE THEN. SO THAT'S A GOOD THING. BUT I WISH YOU GUYS YOU KNOW, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE 1979 AND TO SEE THAT AIRPORT GO FROM WHERE IT IS TO WHAT YOU ENVISION. WE KNOW WE'RE THE BIGGEST DRAW BESIDES DISNEY WORLD AT 30 SOMETHING MILLION. NOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GO UP TO THE NUMBER THAT YOU SAY ALMOST 50 MILLION. SO WE'RE JUST READY FOR THE GROWTH. BUT HOPEFULLY, LIKE YOU SAID, IN INCREMENTS. AND AS YOU BUILD THAT, WE WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. APPRECIATE IT. THOSE OF US THAT HAVE BEEN HERE A REALLY LONG TIME, REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO GO OFF OF THE PLANE AND INTO THE AIRPORT AND IT WAS AN OUTSIDE AIRPORT, IT WASN'T EVEN ENCLOSED. SO WE REALLY HAVE SEEN SOME PROGRESS. COMMISSIONER MALLOZZI. TWO THINGS. ONE, WITH THE INCREASED TRAFFIC, HOW ARE WE WITH THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I GET PLANES OVERHEAD ALL THE TIME AND I GET A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT. SO I WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SOMETHING READY TO DEAL WITH THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MORE PLANES, MORE TRAFFIC PATTERNS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO OPEN UP ANOTHER SEGWAY. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. SO THAT'S JUST A AND THEN B, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE COULD CHARGE THE $2 A TICKET FOR EVERYONE THAT'S COMING INTO OR OUT OF? I MEAN, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT 50 MILLION, YOU'RE LOOKING AT 100 MILLION A YEAR THAT CAN BE PUT INTO A FUND TO PAY THIS OFF AND THEN ADD ON FOR EVERYTHING ELSE LIKE IN THE COMING KEEP US CUTTING EDGE AND WHAT HAVE YOU. I CAN I'LL TAKE NUMBER TWO FIRST. SO WE ALREADY DO COLLECT INSIDE YOUR TICKET. IT IS NOT A TAX. IT IS A USER FEE. IT'S REFERRED TO AS A PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE OR A PFC THAT'S CURRENTLY $4.50 THAT WE GET FROM DEPARTING PASSENGERS THAT WE COLLECT AND WE UTILIZE THAT MONEY. WHEN I TALKED ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SOUTH RUNWAY, THE NEW SOUTH RUNWAY COST ABOUT $1 BILLION DOLLARS. WE TOOK THE 250 MILLION FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AND THE REMAINDER OF THAT IN LARGE PART IS BEING PAID FOR BY THE PFCS THAT ARE COLLECTED FROM THE AIRPORT. THAT CAP OF $4.50 HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 2000. AIRPORTS HAVE FOUGHT FOR OVER 20 YEARS TO TRY TO GET THAT CAP LIFTED. BUT WE ARE CONSISTENTLY BEAT BACK BY THE LOBBYIST FOR THE AIRLINES WHO LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE A TAX AND THEREFORE HAVE ENGAGED THEIR LOBBYISTS IN CONGRESS. THAT CAP HAS NOT MOVED. WE'VE TRIED TO MAKE IT 6.50, 8.50, $10 UNRESTRICTED, LOCALLY SET, WHATNOT, BUT IT'S GUIDED BY FEDERAL LAW AND IT'S GUIDED BY CONGRESS. SO WE'RE KIND OF HANDCUFFED THERE WITH RESPECT TO THAT ONE. BUT MORE PASSENGERS COMING INTO THE AIRPORT WILL, IN FACT YIELD MORE PFCS. [01:50:06] AND WE DO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT IN THE FINANCIAL MODEL, AND IT SAYS IF WE'RE GOING TO GO FROM 19 MILLION IN PLANE-MENTS TO 25 MILLION IN PLANE-MENTS, THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL 6 MILLION IN PLANE-MENTS. THAT'S EXTRA FEES THAT ARE COMING IN. WE PUT THAT BACK INTO THE FINANCIAL MODEL. REGARDING THE NOISE, I THINK YOU'RE AWARE THAT BACK IN 2021, AUGUST OF 2021, THE AIRPORT DOES NOT DICTATE THE FLIGHT PATTERNS. THAT'S DONE BY THE FAA. THERE ARE NO NEW FLIGHT PATTERNS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED. OH OKAY. UNDER METROPLEX THEY USE THE SAME FLIGHT PATTERNS CONSISTENTLY. THE ONLY TIME THEY DEVIATE FROM THOSE FLIGHT PATTERNS IS IF THERE'S WEATHER. I LIVE RIGHT ALONG THE SHORELINE AS WELL, AND TRUST ME, MY TEAM KNOWS THAT AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING I HEAR A PLANE GOING OVER. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO. I'M THAT GEEKY AVIATION GUY THAT I CAN PULL UP THE AVIATION WEATHER RADAR AND I CAN SEE THE STORMS OUT THERE AND THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO CUT IT AROUND AS WE GO FORWARD THERE. BUT WHAT WE DID NOTICE IS WHAT WE SOMEWHAT ANTICIPATED WITH METROPLEX WHEN THE FAA CHANGED THE PATTERNS COMING IN OUT OF THE AIRPORT, WAS THAT CERTAIN COMMUNITIES WERE GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF RELIEF. PEOPLE THAT LIVE REALLY CLOSE INTO THE AIRPORT LIKE LAUDERDALE ISLES. AND WE WORKED WITH THE CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE TO KIND OF MOVE THAT TRACK AWAY FROM THEM. AND THEN SOME FOLKS WHO ARE FURTHER OUT, WHETHER IT'S IN PLANTATION OR SUNRISE, WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE OVERFLIGHTS OF THEIR AREA, BUT AT A HIGHER ALTITUDE. AND THAT'S GENERALLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THERE. BUT WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE OMBUDSMAN FOR THE FAA AND TRY TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITIES. AT THE SAME TIME WHEN WE SEE PILOTS THAT ARE NOT AND I KNOW ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS IS A PILOT, CAPTAIN JAFFE AND I TALKED TO HIM A LOT. BUT WHEN WE SEE AIRPLANES THAT ARE NOT ADHERING TO MINIMUM ALTITUDES THAT WE WANT TO SEE THEM WHEN THEY'RE COMING IN OR GOING OUT, WE'RE ON THE PHONE WITH THEIR CHIEF PILOTS AND TALKING TO THEM ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. MAYOR COOPER. YES, GOOD MORNING. AS A TRANSPLANT FROM PHILADELPHIA MYSELF. WELCOME. THANK YOU. GO EAGLES. SORRY, I'M A DOLPHIN EAGLES FAN. SORRY. I CAN SING THE SONG EVEN, BUT THE CHANGES THAT YOU BROUGHT TO THE AIRPORT ALREADY REALLY FANTASTIC. AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WORK AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND TRAVELING A LOT. ON A SIDE NOTE, I JUST CAME BACK FROM SAN DIEGO. TALK ABOUT FLIGHT PATTERNS. YOU SEE WHERE THEY FLY PLANES OUT OF SAN DIEGO, RIGHT OVER REALLY IN THE HEART OF THE CITY. SO I GUESS IT'S SOMETHING MODERN IN THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE. BUT I NEVER GET A COMPLAINT FROM THE DRIVER THAT WE'VE USED FOR 30 YEARS. AND HE HAD AN JUST AS A SIDE NOTE, HE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT SUNPASS AND THE ISSUES THAT THEY WERE HAVING GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE AIRPORTS JUST AS FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND I'LL TALK MORE OR PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH HIM. THERE'S SOME KIND OF GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM. AND WHEN YOU GET IN AND OUT OF THE AIRPORT, THERE ARE LIKE, YEAH, AND HE NEVER COMPLAINS. HE'S LIKE, TOTAL CHILL. I'M SORRY. MAYOR, THANKS FIRST. THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENTS. FLY EAGLES FLY. YEAH, I CAN BREAK INTO THE SONG TOO, BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. BUT ANYWAY. [LAUGHTER] YEAH. FLY. SUNPASS. BUT I DO THIS ONE TOO. I DO. SUNPASS. SOMETIMES THE GLITCHES AREN'T OURS ON OUR SIDE. SOMETIMES THEY ARE BECAUSE IT'S A STATE AGENCY THAT RUNS THAT WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF JUST GETTING READY TO SHIFT SOME OF OUR PARKING MANAGEMENT ON THE CONTROL SIDE OF THE HOUSE OVER TO A NEW VENDOR. IT WENT THROUGH A VERY, VERY EXTENSIVE PROCESS THAT THE COMMISSION JUST VOTED ON. BUT I'VE BEEN EXCITED THAT I WANTED TO BRING IN THINGS LIKE RESERVE PARKING, LIKE REWARDS PROGRAMS, LIKE USING LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION FOR ENTRY AND EXIT ONLY, YOU KNOW, ALL HANDS FREE. THERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN INITIATIVES TO TRY TO MAKE THE GUEST EXPERIENCE BETTER AND BETTER AT THE AIRPORT. GREAT. I'LL LET THEM KNOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER STURMAN. AM I ON? YEP. OKAY. THANKS. DR. STURMAN, I REPRESENT. I'M YOUR NEIGHBOR. I REPRESENT LAUDERDALE ISLES, AND NOTORIOUS EDGEWOOD AREA TOO. AND THAT'S WHERE THE QUESTION COMES IN. WE DEAL WITH FLOODING AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND IT COMES UP ANYTHING THEY DO IN THE AIRPORT, YOU KNOW, TO CONTROL FLOODING SOMETIMES AFFECTS THE LIKE OUR LOW LYING AREAS. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FLOODING ISSUES ARE, YOU KNOW, AS YOU AS YOU EXPAND ARE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION NOT JUST THE AIRPORT, BUT THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE REPRESENT. THE GENTLEMAN THAT'S BEHIND YOU IS BEATING ME OVER THE HEAD CONSTANTLY ON THIS ONE IN A GOOD WAY. AND EDGEWOOD PARK IS ONE OF THE AREAS THAT WE JUST TOOK TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WHERE WE WERE A GRANT RECIPIENT TO GO IN AND ACTUALLY DO IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AREAS IN THAT AREA AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS AROUND THE AIRPORT. APRIL 12TH WAS UNFORTUNATE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN ASKED LIKE WHAT WENT WRONG AND WELL, YOU KNOW, FROM 3 P.M. TO 6 P.M., WE GOT 12IN OF RAIN. FROM 3 P.M. TO 9 P.M. [01:55:02] WE GOT 19IN OF RAIN. WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE SYSTEMS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD, WE MORE THAN DOUBLED, TRIPLED THEM. WE DID EVENTUALLY RECEDE. THE FOCUS IS GOING TO BE ON HOW DO WE PROTECT OURSELVES, HOW DO WE CREATE MORE CAPACITY GOING FORWARD? SHOULD WE GET THOSE ONCE IN A THOUSAND YEAR STORMS, ONCE IN EVERY TEN YEARS OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES? EVEN THE NEW TERMINAL FIVE THAT I JUST REFERENCED, WE'RE LOOKING AT INFRASTRUCTURE OF HAVING IT UP HIGHER OFF THE GROUND TO PROTECT THINGS LIKE ELECTRICAL ROOMS AND ELEVATOR AND ESCALATOR PITS AND THINGS ALONG THOSE LINES THAT GOT DAMAGED DURING THE FLOODING. BUT DR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE COMMENT. I'LL TAKE IT BACK AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THAT BALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT SEEMS TO BE ALL THE QUESTIONS. SO WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL THESE IMPROVEMENTS. ALL RIGHT. REPORT FROM PARTNER AGENCY FDOT I-95, BROWARD COUNTY OVERVIEW. [3. Report from Partner Agency - Florida Department of Transportation - I-95 Broward County Overview] MR. GIES, YOU'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE THIS. YES. AND WE'LL MAKE SURE TO KEEP THIS BRIEF BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE COMING UP HERE ON TIME. BUT JUST VERY QUICKLY, I WANTED TO FRAME THIS CONVERSATION HERE FOR YOU. I'M HERE TODAY TO TO INTRODUCE THE TWO SPEAKERS, CESAR MARTINEZ AND LESLIE WETHERALL, WHO ARE GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THREE DISTINCT THINGS AS IT RELATES TO I-95 AND THE STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM. SO I'LL START BIG PICTURE. THE STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM IS A NETWORK OF FACILITIES THAT IS MANAGED BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND IS CRITICAL TO THE MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT AND GOODS AND ALSO PEOPLE IN THE REGION. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS MANAGED BY DOT. BUT WE AS THE MPO, PROVIDE BACKING THROUGH THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR THESE FACILITIES AND FUNDING FOR THESE FACILITIES. THEY'RE GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT TWO SMALL ADJUSTMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE TO THE STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM FOR THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN. BUT I THINK THE BIGGER PIECE OF THE CONVERSATION IS GOING TO BE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT I-95 FROM MIAMI DADE, BROWARD COUNTY LINE TO NORTH OF GRIFFIN ROAD. THAT IS A BIG PROJECT THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON NOW THAT'S IN PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT, AND THEY'RE GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILS ON THAT. BUT THIS IS BASICALLY SETTING THE VISION FOR 95 INTO THE FUTURE. AND WE WANT YOU ALL TO BE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. SO WITH THAT, I'LL INTRODUCE THE TEAM HERE. SO, CESAR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, PETER. SO I'LL START THE PRESENTATION WITH THE FIRST PART. I'LL GO OVER THE I-95 OVERVIEW AND THE AMENDMENT TO THE MTP, AND THEN LESLIE WETHERALL WILL CONTINUE WITH THE KICKOFF PRESENTATION FOR THE I-95 PD&E STUDY. SO THE STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2003 BY THE GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE AT THE TIME. THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT STATUTES THAT BASICALLY GOVERNS WHAT WE DO. FIRST WAS THE CREATION OF IT. SECOND WAS DIRECTION TO DEVELOP IT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MPOS. AND THIRD, IT DIRECTS THE DEPARTMENT TO ALLOCATE AT LEAST 50% OF NEW DISCRETIONARY HIGHWAY CAPACITY FUNDS TO THE SIS SYSTEM. SO BUT WHAT IS THE SIS? IT'S REALLY A HIGH PRIORITY NETWORK OF DIFFERENT TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES THAT IMPACT IN A POSITIVE WAY TO THE STATE ECONOMY AND MOBILITY IN BROWARD COUNTY. THAT'S BASICALLY THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM, I-95, 75, 595, AS WELL AS US 27. THE TURNPIKE FACILITIES TURNPIKE, MAINLINE SAWGRASS, AS WELL AS SEAPORT, AIRPORTS AND RAIL LINES. WE DEVELOPED THE SIS PROGRAM THROUGH DIFFERENT PLANS. THE FIRST ONE STARTS WITH THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN THAT LOOKS 20 PLUS YEARS OUT, HAS THREE DIFFERENT TIME BANDS. THEN WE HAVE THE SECOND FIVE YEAR PLAN AND THAT'S YEAR SIX THROUGH TEN. AND THEN THE FIRST FIVE YEAR PLAN, WHICH COINCIDES WITH THE DEPARTMENT [INAUDIBLE]. THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM IS AGAIN, TO ENHANCE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ENSURE CONNECTIVITY AND ALSO EXPAND INTERMODAL OPTIONS. SPECIFIC TO I-95 IN BROWARD, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF, BUT I-95 IN BROWARD IS REALLY IN THE TOP EIGHT SEGMENTS IN THE WHOLE STATE IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC DEMAND. WE HAVE SOME AREAS THAT ARE CARRYING OVER 300,000 VEHICLES PER DAY. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE DISCUSSING EARLIER ABOUT TRAFFIC GROWTH AND THAT'S HAPPENING AS WELL AS WELL ALONG I-95. SO I-95 CONTINUES TO GROW AT A STEADY PACE OF 0.5% EVERY YEAR. CARRIES A LOT OF TRUCKS. 10% OF THE DAILY TRAFFIC IS TRUCKS. AND THEN WE HAVE A CONCENTRATION OF CRASHES ALONG THE ENTRY POINTS OF THE INTERSTATE, THE RAMPS COMING IN AND OUT. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SUBMITTING OR REQUESTING TO THE MPO, TO THE MTP. ONE IS I-75 AT PINES. THAT'S REGARDING A COST INCREASE OF 50% AND 50 MILLION. [02:00:04] AND THEN I-95 ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD TO CYPRESS CREEK ROAD. AND THAT'S A PROJECT THAT GOT MOVED IN FROM THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN INTO TWO TIME BONDS EARLIER IN THE SECOND SIS PLAN. THIS IS THE PROCESS THAT THE DEPARTMENT FOLLOWS TO DEVELOP PROJECTS ALL THE WAY FROM PLANNING TO CONSTRUCTION. IT SHOWS ALL THE DIFFERENT PHASES THAT WE GO THROUGH FOR MAJOR CLASS OF ACTION PROJECTS. WHAT THE MAIN HIGHLIGHT HERE IS JUST THE TOTAL TIME FRAME THAT TAKES A PROJECT TO GET ON THE GROUND. SO WHEN WE DO A PLANNING STUDY TO CONSTRUCTION OVERALL CAN TAKE TEN YEARS PLUS DEPENDING ON FUNDING AVAILABILITY TO GET A PROJECT ON START CONSTRUCTION . SPECIFICALLY TO I-95 EXPRESS, WE DID A PROJECT DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT STUDIES BACK IN 2013. TEN YEARS LATER, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FINISH SOME OF THE SEGMENTS. ALSO, WE DID A MASTER PLAN THAT LOOKED AT ALL THE INTERCHANGES IN BROWARD COUNTY BACK IN 2016, AND SEVEN YEARS LATER, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO KICK OFF SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS. LIKE TODAY WE'RE KICKING OFF ONE OF THEM. A STATUS OF 95 EXPRESS PRETTY MUCH FROM BROWARD BOULEVARD NORTH INTO SOUTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY. ALL THOSE SEGMENTS WILL BE COMPLETED BY DECEMBER THIS YEAR. WE'RE EXPECTING TO OPEN TOLLING IN OCTOBER 21ST. SO WE'RE PLANNING ON HAVING AN INTERIM CONDITION THROUGH THE 595, 95 AREA TO CONNECT THE WHOLE AREA. THEN IN 2025, WE'LL BE BACK ON TO SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET. THAT PROJECT WILL GO TO CONSTRUCTION ON THE INTERCHANGE AND THERE WILL BE SOME MAINLINE WORK. WE WILL BE ADDING THE SECOND EXPRESS LANE THROUGH THERE. SO IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR DRIVING THROUGH THAT SPOT IN PARTICULAR, YOU WILL SEE THE EXPRESS LANES DROP ONE LANE THROUGH THE INTERCHANGE AND THEN PICKS UP THE SECOND ONE, THE SECOND LANE AFTERWARDS. AND THAT WAS DONE INTENTIONALLY TO AVOID THROWAWAY COSTS. QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE DID BACK IN 2016 ON THE MASTER PLAN. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, WE LOOKED AT ALL THE INTERCHANGES IN THE COUNTY. WE FOUND DEFICIENCIES IN TERMS OF RAMP CONGESTION AND SAFETY ISSUES ALONG THE ARTERIALS AND ALONG THE RAMPS. AND IN SUMMARY, THE TYPICAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE ARE PURSUING ARE REGARDING CONNECTING ENTRIES AND EXIT POINTS ALONG THE MAIN LINE THROUGH ACCELERATED LANES OR COMBINING RAMPS TO MINIMIZE THE ENTRY POINTS. SO A QUICK EXAMPLE IS SAMPLE ROAD, COPANS, AND ATLANTIC BOULEVARD. THOSE INTERCHANGES ARE IN CONSTRUCTION TODAY. SO THAT'S WHAT IT DEPICTS IN THERE, JUST COMBINING SOME OF THE LOOP RAMPS INTO ONE AND THEN PROVIDING A SYSTEM THAT COULD BE LIKE THE TOP LEVEL OF IMPROVEMENT ALONG THE ROAD, WHICH IS BASICALLY A SEPARATE ROADWAY AND WE SAY IS A COLLECTOR AND DISTRIBUTOR ROADWAY ADJACENT TO THE MAINLINE LANES TO HANDLE THAT EXCHANGE OF TRAFFIC. WE HAVE ONE TODAY IS BETWEEN 595 AND DAVEY. SO IT'S SIMILAR LIKE THAT. IT'S A SEPARATE LANES FROM THE MAINLINE. SO WE CAN START US ON WHERE WE ARE WITH THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS. LIKE I MENTIONED, HILLSBOROUGH AND 10TH STREET INTERCHANGE WILL BE CONSTRUCTION IN 25. WE'RE WRAPPING UP CONSTRUCTION ON SAMPLE, COPANS, AND ATLANTIC. CYPRESS CREEK AND COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD INTERCHANGES WE'RE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN. THAT PROJECT IS SEGMENTED OUT IN DIFFERENT FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. IT'S CURRENTLY UNFUNDED. OAKLAND AND DAVIE BOULEVARD. THEY WILL START PD&E STUDIES LATER THIS YEAR AND THEY ARE UNFUNDED FOR CONSTRUCTION. SUNRISE BOULEVARD AND BROWARD BOULEVARD ARE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN AND STATE ROAD 84 IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AS PART OF 95 EXPRESS. GRIFFIN AND. SORRY THEN. SORRY FOR THE TYPO THERE. IT STARTS CONSTRUCTION. I'M SORRY. IT STARTS PD&E RIGHT NOW. LESLIE WILL GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION. AND CONSTRUCTION IS UNFUNDED. AND IN HOLLYWOOD, PEMBROKE AND HALLANDALE BEACH, SIMILAR CASE. WE'RE WRAPPING UP PD&E'S. AT THE SAME TIME, WE START DESIGN, BUT CONSTRUCTION IS UNFUNDED. AND THE POINT THAT I WANT TO MAKE IN THOSE SIX INTERCHANGES IS THAT SIMILARLY TO CYPRESS CREEK AND COMMERCIAL, WE ARE EXPECTING TO SEGMENT THOSE PROJECTS OUT WITH PRIORITIES TO THE INTERCHANGES AND THEN ANY BRAND MODIFICATIONS ARE TYING BACK TO THE MAINLAND LATER ON. SO THAT'S THE PLAN AS WE GO FORWARD FOR IMPLEMENTATION. WITH THAT, LESLIE. THANK YOU, CESAR. GOOD MORNING, BOARD AND MEMBERS. MY NAME IS LESLIE WETHERALL. I AM THE DOT DESIGN PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS PD&E STUDY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRIEFLY GO OVER AND SHARE WITH YOU. [02:05:03] SO THIS IS A PD&E PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT STUDY. AND THIS SLIDE JUST KIND OF GOES THROUGH THE VARIOUS PHASES OF THE LIFE OF A PROJECT. AND AS YOU CAN SEE HIGHLIGHTED ON THE SCREEN, WE'RE IN STEP TWO. PHASE TWO, THE PD&E STUDY ELEMENT OF THE OVERALL PROJECT. SO THIS, OF COURSE, IS AN OVERVIEW MAP OF THE AREA IN QUESTION. AND AS CESAR MENTIONED, THE FOCUS OF THIS PROJECT IS THE THREE INTERCHANGES ON THE NORTH END THAT'S SHARED IN STIRLING AND GRIFFIN. AND AS A NOTE, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE FOCUSED LOOKING AT THE GRIFFIN OLD GRIFFIN INTERSECTION, WHICH IS A PINCH POINT, TO USE A FELLOW COLLEAGUES TERM HERE FROM EARLIER, ACTUALLY NEAR THE AIRPORT. ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE EXPRESS LANE INGRESS AND EGRESS FROM THE COUNTY LINE UP THROUGH NORTH OF GRIFFIN, WHICH IS WHY YOU SEE THE ENTIRE LIMITS OF THE PROJECT ON THAT SCREEN. JUST QUICKLY, PURPOSE AND NEED IS CRITICAL TO ANY PD&E STUDY. SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED THOSE VARIOUS ELEMENTS. AND THE ONE THING I DID WANT TO FOCUS ON HERE IS THE BULLET ONE IS ITS MAINLINE OPERATIONS AND TRAFFIC OPERATION IMPROVEMENTS AT THE INTERCHANGES. IT'S NOT MAINLINE CAPACITY. IT'S TO IMPROVE THAT OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES WE'RE HAVING AT THE INTERCHANGES AND THE SAFETY ASSOCIATED WITH IT. ADDITIONALLY, THE LAST BULLET ON THAT SLIDE, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT AGAIN CESAR MENTIONED IT AS WELL, BUT OUR GOAL IS TO TAKE THIS PD&E STUDY AND THEN SEGMENT IT INTO MANAGEABLE BITES TO MOVE IT INTO DESIGN. ALSO, AS CESAR MENTIONED, THE PROJECT IS NOT FUNDED FOR CONSTRUCTION AT THIS TIME, SO WE'RE TRULY IN THE PLANNING STAGES AND THEN WE'LL MOVE INTO THE DESIGN PHASES OF THOSE SMALLER SECTIONS. JUST A HIGH LEVEL SLIDE HERE, SOCIAL DEMANDS AND ECONOMY. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'LL BE LOOKING AT DURING THE PD&E PROCESS, OF COURSE, MODAL IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US ALONG THE CORRIDOR, FREIGHT AND TRANSIT, BUT ALSO BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN NEEDS ALONG THE ARTERIALS THAT ARE WITHIN OUR INTERCHANGES AT EACH OF THOSE LOCATIONS WE'VE IDENTIFIED. I DID ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT WE DO HAVE OUR COMPASS ON THIS SLIDE DOWN THERE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT. THAT'S ONE OF OUR NEWER ICONS THAT WE'VE BEEN USING HERE AT THE DEPARTMENT. SO YOU'LL BE SEEING THAT ON MORE AND MORE OF THE PRESENTATIONS THAT THE DEPARTMENT DOES BRING TO YOU. THIS IS OUR OVERALL SCHEDULE. OF COURSE, WE'VE GOT THE WE ARE HERE STAR. THEY ARE UP ON THE TOP OF THE EXCUSE ME, TOP OF THE SCREEN AND AT THE BOTTOM I DO ALWAYS LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IS DURING THE LIFE OF THE PD&E PROJECT. AND AS A FOLLOW UP TO THAT, WE DO HAVE OUR UPCOMING PUBLIC KICKOFF MEETING ON OCTOBER 12TH, WHICH WILL BE VIRTUAL AND OCTOBER 17TH, WHICH WILL BE IN PERSON. AND THE FLIERS AND LETTERS TO THE AFFECTED PUBLIC RESIDENTS AND MUNICIPALITIES ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GOING OUT AT THIS TIME. OF COURSE, OUR CONTACT INFORMATION IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT US SUBSEQUENT TO TODAY'S MEETING. AND OUR SAFETY MESSAGE FOR THE DAY AND TRYING TO KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET. BUT WE ARE CAESAR AND I ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AT THIS TIME. COMMISSIONER MALLOZZI. MAYBE NOT. OH, THERE YOU GO. SORRY TO BE A NUDGE. SO YOU TALKED ABOUT MAKING A SECOND EXPRESS LANE ON 95. CESAR SAID THAT. YEAH, THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY TO SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET AREA. SAY THAT AGAIN. SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET INTERCHANGE. AND THAT'S THROUGH THAT INTERCHANGE. WE BUILT ONE TEMPORARILY. WE WILL BUILD BUILDING A SECOND ONE TO COMPLETE THE SYSTEM LATER ON. OKAY. AND DO YOU HAVE BACKUP DATA TO SHOW THAT THAT IS NEEDED? BECAUSE I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE EXPRESS LANES AND 90% OF THE TIME WHEN I SEE THEM, THEY ARE UNDERUTILIZED AND THEN I SEE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT GOES INTO THEM, THE AMOUNT OF LAND THAT IS TAKEN FOR THEM. AND I DON'T THINK IT'S COST EFFECTIVE. AND I'M GOING TO USE THE 595 EXPRESS LANE AS AN EXAMPLE. HALF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THAT THAT ARE GOING TO 95 CAN'T USE THAT THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. AND SO I DON'T WANT TO SEE, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, A MISMANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS AND THE DESIGN BECAUSE IT'S NOT BEING UTILIZED TO ITS FULLEST EXTENT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUR DATA TO SHOW THAT THAT IS AND I KNOW THAT I'M NOT YOUR END ALL BE ALL, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE DATA BEHIND THAT. SURE. WE CAN MAKE THAT AVAILABLE. YOU KNOW, THE 2016 AND PRIOR 2013 PD&E STUDIES BACK THAT UP. [02:10:04] KEEP IN MIND THOSE PROJECTS WERE DEVELOPED 20 YEARS OUT. SO THE DEMAND THAT WE PLAN FOR IS MAYBE NOT BE THERE YET. AND ALSO THE SYSTEM IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM 595 EXPRESS. SO JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT. BUT YEAH, WE CAN SEND THAT OUT TO YOU. COMMISSIONER FURR. THANK YOU. I KNOW I'VE SEEN A FEW PRELIMINARY IDEAS FOR THE EXCHANGES BETWEEN HALLANDALE AND HOLLYWOOD. HAVE THEY CHANGED AT ALL OR ARE YOU PRETTY YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO THERE ALREADY? GREAT QUESTION. SO THAT'S ACTUALLY A SEPARATE PROJECT THAN THE ONE I PRESENTED TODAY. HOWEVER, WHAT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU IS THAT'S THE PD&E FROM THE COUNTY LINE FOR OUR SOUTHERN THREE INTERCHANGES, RIGHT? HALLANDALE, PEMBROKE AND HOLLYWOOD, AS WELL AS THE CD LANES THAT CESAR MENTIONED IN HIS PRESENTATION IN THAT AREA. AND WE'RE ACTIVELY IN THE PD&E PHASE ON THAT. AND WE HAD OUR ALTERNATIVES MEETING AND OUR PUBLIC HEARING, AND WE GOT A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE CITIES AND THE CONCERNED CITIZENS ABOUT WHAT THEY LIKED AND WHAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE. AND SO WE WENT BACK, NOT ALL THE WAY TO THE DRAWING BOARD, BUT WE REGROUPED. AND FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY OF HOLLYWOOD, WITH PEMBROKE PARK AND WITH HALLANDALE, TO REFINE THOSE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES, TO ADDRESS ALL THE CONCERNS THAT THOSE CITIES AND TOWNS AND CONSTITUENTS HAVE RAISED TO US. AND WE'RE AT A PLACE NOW WHERE WE'RE WRAPPING UP THAT FINAL CLOSING THE LOOP WITH THOSE AGENCIES TO CONFIRM THAT WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS IN FACT, WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO FINALIZE THAT PD&E. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING. AND AGAIN, NOTIFICATIONS FOR ALL OF THAT, OF COURSE, WILL GO OUT AND DO FASHION WRAP UP THAT PD&E WE WILL MOVE INTO DESIGN AGAIN, SEGMENTING THOSE PORTIONS INTO SMALLER, MANAGEABLE BITES. BUT CONSTRUCTION IS NOT FUNDED YET. WE'RE TRYING TO LINE UP OUR FUTURE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A GAP TO GIVE EVERYBODY A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK WITH OUR CONSTRUCTION FATIGUE THAT WE'VE BEEN FEELING. AND THEN THOSE SMALL, MANAGEABLE SEGMENTS WILL BE SMALL AND MANAGEABLE IN CONSTRUCTION WHEN WE DO COME TO FRUITION WITH THEM. WAS THAT ABLE TO ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS? YEAH, THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE I KNOW THE MAYOR OF HOLLYWOOD HAD SOME CONCERNS ON THAT, AS DID SOME OF THE COMMISSION, I'M SURE THE MAYOR OF HALLANDALE THE SAME. SO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SHOWING US ON THE 17TH AND ON THE 12TH IS A BIT OF A THE BIG PICTURE OF IT SHOWING NOT ONLY THE EXPRESS LANES, BUT THE OTHER YOU KNOW, THE REGENERATED. SO ON THE 12TH AND THE 17TH IS ACTUALLY THOSE NORTHERN THREE INTERCHANGE, SHERIDAN, STERLING AND. OH, NOT THE OTHER ONE. NOT THE THREE TO THE SOUTH. CORRECT. IT'S FOCUSED ON THE NORTHERN THREE, SHERIDAN, STERLING, AND GRIFFIN. AND THEN THE EXPRESS LANES IS GOING TO LAYER IN AT A LATER DATE IN TIME. SO TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS ALL ON ONE CORRIDOR. BUT I'M THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR EVERYTHING. SO THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS HERE. OKAY. WELL, BECAUSE I THINK WHAT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO IS SEE THE BIG PICTURE OF IT, HOW IT ALL KIND OF GOES TOGETHER, SEEING IT IN PIECEMEAL KIND OF YOU'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT, I'M NOT. I HEAR YOUR MESSAGE AND I WILL TAKE THAT BACK FOR IT MIGHT NOT BE PERFECT AT THIS NEXT PUBLIC MEETING, BUT WE'LL TAKE THAT BACK FOR OUR SUBSEQUENT COORDINATION EFFORTS MOVING FORWARD. OKAY. YEAH, BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. BUT I APPRECIATE. AND WILL YOU BE SENDING A FLIER THROUGH THE MPO, TOO, FOR WHEN THAT PUBLIC MEETING IS? YES. THE ELECTED LETTERS HAVE ALREADY GONE OUT TO THE IMPACTED AGENCIES. HOPEFULLY THE ELECTED OFFICIALS DID RECEIVE THEM. AND WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THE AGENCY LEVEL LETTERS OUT. AND GREG AND EXCUSE ME, MR. STUART AND HIS TEAM WILL RECEIVE THOSE LETTERS AS WELL. AND I IMAGINE THEY'LL BE POSTING IT ON THE WEBSITE PERHAPS, OR EVEN NOTIFYING YOU. AND I WILL REFER TO MR. STUART. YEAH, ACTUALLY, IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE MOBILITY MONDAY SECTION AS WELL. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS, YOU KNOW, WE COULD KEEP YOU HERE ALL DAY INTO NEXT WEEK TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT PROJECTS, SO IT'S AS MUCH AS WE CAN. PLEASE DON'T. [LAUGHTER] I KNOW IT'S A AMOUNT OF PUSHING OUT THE PROJECTS AS BEST WE CAN. I MEAN, JUST THE 95 PROJECTS ALONE, THAT'S A WEEK LONG [INAUDIBLE]. SO I KNOW. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MAYOR COOPER. YES. AND THANK YOU. MY HAIR WAS ON FIRE ABOUT TWO HOURS AGO, BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE HEARD AND LISTENED OBVIOUSLY BY YOUR PRESENTATION. SO I'M LOOKING TO SEE WHAT THAT LOCAL PREFERRED OPTION IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE BECAUSE I KNOW PEMBROKE PARK AND BOTH OF US HAD RIGHT OF WAYS ISSUES. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AND I'LL REACH OUT PERSONALLY AND GET AN UPDATE AS WELL AS WE MOVE ALONG. TWO COMMENTS. FIRST OF ALL, THE COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN GREAT FROM FDOT. I GET ALL, YOU KNOW, JUST IN A GENERAL WAY, GETTING REALLY GOOD UPDATES AND SOCIAL MEDIA. SO KUDOS ON THAT. [02:15:02] AND THIS IS A LITTLE OFF TOPIC, BUT SINCE WE HAVE A MOMENT, WE HAVE I'VE MADE AN OBSERVATION. WE HAVE A LOT OF THE UNDERPASSES AND SADLY WE HAVE A HOMELESS ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE IS MIGRATING FROM SOUTH NORTH FOR VARIOUS MECHANISM WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT, I HOPE, ON A LATER DATE. BUT ALL ALONG THOSE INTERCHANGES WE HAVE IN PARTICULAR IN HALLANDALE, WE HAVE ACTUALLY SOMEBODY THAT'S SET UP A MATTRESS AND ALL THIS STUFF ON THE LITTLE CUBBY AREAS UNDER ALL THESE UNDERPASSES. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT MAYBE THE FDOT LOOK AT PUTTING FENCING UP THERE OR SOME KIND OF THING TO ENCLOSE THOSE ALCOVES SO THEY DON'T BECOME A UNSAFE AREA FOR PEOPLE TO SLEEP AND HANG OUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT VERY HEALTHY FOR THEM TO BE THERE ANYWAY. SO JUST OBSERVATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. COMMISSIONER WELCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I JUST PIGGYBACKING ON MEMBER MALLOZZI'S STATEMENT ABOUT THE TWO EXPRESS LANES AT SOUTHWEST 10TH, IS THAT IN ANTICIPATION OF THE SOUTHWEST 10TH CONNECTOR FROM THE SAWGRASS, WAS THAT THE WHAT MAY HAVE WARRANTED THAT? NO. IN THAT AREA. IT WAS ALWAYS ENVISIONED TO BE TWO LANES THROUGHOUT ALL THE WAY TO PALM BEACH COUNTY. THROUGH THE SOUTHWESTERN STREET STUDIES WE SAID, OKAY, WE NEED TO RECONSTRUCT SOME OF THOSE SEGMENTS TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE FLYOVERS TO AND FROM 95 EXPRESS AND THE CONNECTOR LANES. SO TO AVOID REBUILDING THOSE AND THROW AWAY CONSTRUCTION FUNDS, WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO JUST BUILD ONE FIRST AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK WITH THE 10TH STREET PROJECT AND BUILD THE SECOND. OKAY. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY IN REGARD ONLY TO THE INTERCHANGES, BUT HOW MANY M ORE ON RAMPS ARE ANTICIPATED TO INCLUDE BY LIGHT ENTRY, YOU KNOW, CONTROLLED BY LIGHT GOING OUT ONTO 95. YOU'RE REFERRING TO RAMP METERING? YES. WHAT WE CALL FOR RAMP METERING. WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? RAMP METERING. SO WE METER TRAFFIC GETTING INTO THE I-95, RIGHT BY TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON THE RAMP. RIGHT. SO WE'RE PLANNING. JUST CURIOUS JUST BALLPARK. YEAH. JUST WHILE YOU WERE HERE, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO NOTE. YES, WE'RE PLANNING ON PUTTING THOSE ON EVERY SINGLE RAMP ALONG THE COUNTY AS PART OF THE I-95 EXPRESS, SO YOU MAY SEE THEM BACK. WE'RE NOT OPERATIONAL RIGHT NOW, BUT YES, THERE WILL BE OPERATIONAL. YES. EVERYWHERE IS THE ANSWER. YEAH. I DON'T SUPPORT THEM AT ALL. COMMISSIONER FURR. UNLESS THEY'RE ON SMART TECHNOLOGY. I THINK MEETING'S OVER. TRY AGAIN. OKAY. I KNOW I'M PROBABLY STATING THE OBVIOUS, BUT THERE IS ABOUT TO BE A TON OF CONSTRUCTION BETWEEN PEMBROKE ROAD AND HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD ON THE WEST SIDE OF I-95. AND ARE YOU ALL TAKING ALL THAT INTO CONSIDERATION? BECAUSE THAT WHOLE 300 ACRES THERE IS ABOUT TO BE REDONE. SO THE DRAINAGE THERE IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, HOW THAT'S WORKING? IS THAT C10? THE C10 GOES THROUGH THERE, BUT YOU'RE ABOUT TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW GOLF COURSE THERE, A WHOLE NEW DRAINAGE APARTMENT. IT'S JUST A TON OF STUFF. SO JUST BRINGING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE YOU'RE IN THE DESIGN TO KNOW THAT THAT'S COMING AND ABOUT TO HAPPEN. I APPRECIATE THAT. YOU SAID IT WAS PEMBROKE TO? PEMBROKE ROAD TO HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD. AND YOU JUST NEED TO BE WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH WHAT THE CITY IS DOING THERE, AS WELL AS THE C10 CANAL THERE. AS A FOLLOW UP. YEAH. JUST ON THAT NOTE, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT TIES INTO PEMBROKE PARK, IT TIES INTO HALLANDALE SHAVES LAKE, THAT BIG PUMPING STATION AND I DON'T KNOW, FOOD FOR THOUGHT TOO WITH THE PD&E OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH THAT INTERCHANGE WHAT THE IMPACTS ARE GOING TO BE THAT THAT MAJOR PUMPING STATION BECAUSE THAT FEEDS NOT THAT FEEDS ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO PUMP NORTH AND MAINTENANCE SOMETIMES HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THAT AS WELL. YEAH. SO I CAN SHARE WITH YOU REGARDING THE PUMP STATION THAT WE KNOW THE IMPORTANCE THAT THAT PUMP STATION, THE ROLE THAT THAT PUMP STATION PLAYS IN THE DRAINAGE IN THE AREA. AND ONE OF OUR CRITICAL ELEMENTS IS TO MAINTAIN IT, KEEP IT IN ITS PLACE AND NOT IMPACT IT SO THAT IT DOESN'T [02:20:05] IMPACT THE DRAINAGE PATTERNS IN THE AREA. I DO APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING TO MY ATTENTION THAT AREA UNDER DEVELOPMENT. I'LL MAKE SURE THAT I WORK WITH THE TEAMS ACCORDINGLY. REGARDING, OF COURSE, DRAINAGE IN THE ENTIRE AREA. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS. AND THANK YOU. AND I ALWAYS REGRET THAT SOME OF THESE INFORMATIVE REPORTS WHERE WE CAN HAVE THE QUESTION AND ANSWERS AND SO ON OCCUR AT THE END OF A MEETING LIKE THIS. AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. BUT WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR REPORT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE CAN JUST ZIP THROUGH THE REST OF THIS. OUR FINANCIAL REPORTS WERE ALL PROVIDED FOR US. SO UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I GUESS WE'RE ALL RIGHT WITH THAT CORRESPONDENCE. EVERYTHING'S IN ORDER, MADAM CHAIR. PARDON ME? EVERYTHING'S IN ORDER. MOVE TO ADJOURN. SECOND. OH, WE'RE GOOD. ALL RIGHT. EVERYTHING. OH, SKIP THEM ALL. OH, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR STAYING. AND THANKS TO DOT FOR THE PRESENTATION. AND A SECOND? IT'S DONE. THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. GOOD JOB, RIGHT? ALL IN FAVOR. WE'RE GOOD. * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
