[1. PUBLIC MEETING AND MOTION TO APPROVE the Draft Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) with Staff Recommended Amendments]

FEDERAL GUIDELINES BOARD MUST VOTE ON THIS ITEM TODAY. [INAUDIBLE] DUE TO FDOT NO LATER THAN JULY 15TH 2019. THIS IS A PUBLIC COMMENT ITEM AND OUR FIRST SPEAKER BEFORE I LISTEN TO YOU. OUR FIRST COMMENT IS VICE MAYOR TODD [INAUDIBLE] AND WE NEED TO HAVE YOU COME UP. YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. MR. CHAIRMAN IF WE CAN JUST WE HAVE A PRESENTATION LET'S LET THE MPO PRESENTATION COME FORWARD FIRST AND I DO WANT TO ALSO ADVISE THAT THIS IS AN ADVERTISED PUBLIC MEETING AND THAT THE REQUEST HERE IS THAT THERE'S A REQUEST FOR THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE DRAFT FISCAL YEAR 2020-2024 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS TO THAT. SO YOU WANT TO DO THAT FIRST BEFORE WE START THE DISCUSSION BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DISCUSS. I THINK THAT MR. CROSS WAS GONNA MAKE A SHORT PRESENTATION. NO NO I'M TALKING ABOUT THE APPROVAL WE WEREN'T GONNA I WAS GOING TO ASK UNTIL WE HAD THE PRESENTATION. CERTAINLY SIR HOWEVER YOU WISH TO PROCEED. ALL RIGHT WITH THAT MR. VICE MAYOR I'M SORRY. NO DON'T. MR. GO AHEAD. LET'S HAVE THE PRESENTATION. SORRY ABOUT THAT. JUST TRYING TO MOVE THE MEETING ALONG. MR. CHAIR. BILL CROSS MPO STAFF. MR. CROSS. PLEASURE TO BE HERE AND LIKE TO TALK TO YOU TODAY ABOUT ONE OF OUR IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS OR ONE OF OUR CORE DOCUMENTS THAT WE APPROVE ONCE A YEAR WHICH IS OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. SO THIS IS REALLY THE END OF ABOUT THE LAST YEAR'S WORTH OF EFFORT. AND OUR NEXT ITEM IS GONNA BE THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR'S EFFORTS. SO AGAIN HERE WE ARE AT THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. SO I'M GOING TO TOUCH ON A COUPLE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE. WE WILL GO THROUGH THE PROCESS BRIEFLY. WE'LL TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THE KEY PROJECTS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THIS YEAR'S TIP AND WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THE CHANGES SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS JUST TO ALSO SHARE WITH YOU HOW WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS OF PUBLIC NOTICE. OK SO I THINK YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT I ALWAYS LIKE TO START HERE WHICH IS THAT THE TIP IS REALLY STARTS WITH OUR METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN. SO ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE ARE IN THE TIP ARE ALSO IN THE MTP AND THAT'S WHERE THEY START. THEY THEN COME THROUGH OUR PRIORITIES LIST WHICH IS THE NEXT ITEM HERE TODAY. AND THEN IT GOES TO FDOT. AND FDOT WILL PROGRAM OUR PRIORITIES TO THE AVAILABLE DOLLARS AND THEN THAT COMES BACK AS A DRAFT TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM TO THIS BOARD GENERALLY IN DECEMBER. THIS YEAR WE'RE GONNA BE ON AN EARLY CYCLE IT'LL BE EARLIER THIS FALL. AND THEN WE WIND UP WITH THE TIP. AND JUST TO REMIND YOU WHAT'S THERE IN BLUE THIS IS THE CYCLE THAT WE GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE YEAR. WHAT'S IN GREEN WITH MTP WE DO THAT ONCE EVERY FIVE YEARS AND THAT'S WHAT PETER HAS BEEN GIVING YOU THE UPDATES ON. SO AS FAR AS SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR'S TIP WE HAVE FIVE HUNDRED AND TEN PROJECTS AND ABOUT FOUR POINT EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS. HOW THAT BREAKS DOWN ACROSS THE DIFFERENT FUNDING TYPES YOU CAN SEE THERE THAT'S ABOUT 59 PERCENT HIGHWAY, 6 PERCENT BIKE PED, 8 PERCENT TRANSIT, 10 PERCENT TO THE SEAPORTS, AND ABOUT 10 PERCENT TO RAIL. LOOKING AT IT A DIFFERENT WAY AS FAR AS THE FUNDING

[01:30:04]

SOURCES GO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE AT ABOUT 42 PERCENT STATE FUNDING, 17 FEDERAL, 21 TURNPIKE, AND 20 PERCENT LOCAL FUNDS. MPO ATTRIBUTABLE THESE ARE THE DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE THE MOST DIRECT CONTROL OVER I WANTED TO JUST HIGHLIGHT HOW WE'RE SPENDING THOSE MONEYS. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THAT IS GOING INTO BIKE PED PROJECTS WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY OF THE BOARD. SO COUPLE OF THE KEY PROJECTS THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE TIP. SO FIRST OFF JUST TO POINT OUT THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY THAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER THIS MORNING THAT IS IN FOR CONSTRUCTION FISCAL 23. IT'S ABOUT A HALF A BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS THERE.

SW10TH WE JUST SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME ON. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S PARTIAL FUNDING THERE FOR THAT PROJECT AND THAT'S LINED UP IN FISCAL YEAR 2024.

I95 INTERCHANGES AND OTHER SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT IN OUR SYSTEM THERE'S FUNDING THERE IN FISCAL 2023. LOXAHATCHEE ROAD AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE YOU CAN SEE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER IMPORTANT PROJECTS THAT ARE MOVING FORWARD. ALSO I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT BECAUSE I KNOW THE I75 AT GRIFFIN ROAD HAS BEEN A CONCERN WITH THIS BOARD PREVIOUSLY SO JUST TO POINT OUT THAT CONSISTENT WITH THE MPO DIRECTION TO DEFER THIS PROJECT IT HAS BEEN DEFERRED AND IS SHOWN IN FISCAL 2024 IN THE TIP.

PROSPECT ROAD, POMPANO BEACH MOBILITY SIDEWALKS, EL MAR DRIVE THESE ARE BIKE PED PROJECTS THAT ARE NOW FUNDED AND ARE MOVING FORWARD. AND THEN WE HAVE POWERLINE ROAD AND YOU CAN SEE AGAIN THAT IS ONE THAT IS GOING TO OCCUR DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU AT POWERLINE ROAD WHICH WILL BE A NEW SIGNAL THERE TO ALLOW SOME BETTER BUS ACCESS TO THE STATION THAT SITS BEHIND US HERE. COUPLE MAJOR PROJECT STUDIES AND THESE ARE ALWAYS FUN BECAUSE THESE ARE PROJECTS WHERE WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT SOME POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS AND THERE WILL BE PROJECTS THAT WILL COME OUT OF THOSE STUDIES HOPEFULLY. FIRST IS THE US-1 GATEWAY THEATER THIS IS SUNRISE AND US-1 AND EASTERN FORT LAUDERDALE. SO THERE'S A STUDY THAT WAS FUNDED FOR 22-23 TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT INTERSECTION. I-595 THIS IS ONE THAT CAME OUT OF THIS BOARD AT THE REQUEST OF THIS BOARD. THAT'S A PLANNING STUDY THAT WILL BE KICKING OFF OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR THIS FALL. THEY'VE ALREADY SELECTED THE CONSULTANT AND DOT WILL BE MANAGING THAT AND THAT'S TO LOOK AT ALL THE ARTERIAL CONNECTIONS WITH A I-595 TO LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO REDUCE THE CONGESTION AND IMPROVE THE THE TRAFFIC FLOW AT THAT INTERFACE WITH 595.

PINES BOULEVARD AT FLAMINGO. AGAIN THIS IS ONE THAT'S KIND OF EXCITING AND TO THE CHAIR MAYOR ORTIZ WE'RE EXCITED TO BE LOOKING AT A REALLY INNOVATIVE SOLUTION TO AN INTERSECTION WITHIN THE CITY OF PEMBROKE PINES SO THE FUNDING IS THERE NOW FOR THE PD&E IN 23-24. UNDER SOME OF OUR OTHER PROGRAMS CSLIP YOU CAN SEE THERE THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS 22 PROJECTS ARE MOVING FORWARD AT 34 MILLION. SO AGAIN A SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT OF THE MPO FUNDS THEIR. MOBILITY PROGRAM AS WELL 44 PROJECTS.

AND UNDER OUR TIGER GRANT THERE'S FIVE PROJECTS THEY'RE ALL FUNDED BY THE SAME TIGER GRANT THERE THAT TOTAL AMOUNT DOES INCLUDE THE LOCAL SHARE AND I WILL ALSO POINT OUT THAT THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL MILLION AND A HALF OF MPO ATTRIBUTABLE DOLLARS THAT WERE ADDED TOWARDS THE LOCAL SHARE ON THAT TIGER. THERE WERE SOME COST INCREASES AND THE MPO HAS COVERED THAT TO KEEP THAT PROJECT MOVING FORWARD ON SCHEDULE. OK SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A COUPLE OF CHANGES. SO THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE HERE IS ACTUALLY A RELATIVELY MINOR CHANGE BUT AN IMPORTANT ONE. THIS BRINGS OUR BUDGET AMOUNT IN THE MPO BUDGET. THE UPWP INTO ALIGNMENT WITH OUR TIP AS WELL AS THE PRIORITY LIST SO THAT ALL OF OUR DOCUMENTS ARE INTERNALLY CONSISTENT. COUPLE OF CHANGES. SO NUMBER ONE WE HAVE REMOVED THE RECOMMENDING REMOVAL OF THE QUIET ZONE SAFETY PROJECTS. AS YOU KNOW WE WE NOW HAVE A QUIET ZONE IN BROWARD COUNTY SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS ADDITIONAL FUNDING COMING UP IN THE NEXT YEAR FOR ADDITIONAL SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE THE QUIET ZONE IS NOW IN PLACE. SECONDLY THERE WAS A PROPOSED PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OVER THE NEW RIVER IN DOWNTOWN FORT LAUDERDALE THAT WAS I GUESS PARALLEL TO US-1 THAT HAS

[01:35:03]

DOES NOT HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY. AND SO WE HAVE AGAIN COORDINATED WITH THE PARTNERS ON THAT ONE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE INTENT IS TO REMOVE THAT. I WON'T READ THESE BUT THESE ARE THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THE PUBLIC AND PARTNER AGENCIES THEY'RE RELATIVELY MINOR BUT YOU KNOW THANKS TO FDOT AS WELL AS THE CITY OF OAKLAND PARK FOR GETTING US SOME COMMENTS WE WERE GOING TO INCORPORATE THOSE CHANGES. AND FINALLY A PUBLIC NOTICE YOU KNOW AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING ALL OF OUR FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS. YOU CAN SEE THE VARIOUS DATES THERE SO THE DRAFT HAS BEEN OUT PUBLICLY FOR QUITE SOME TIME SINCE MAY 29TH. WE'VE PUBLISHED IT IN THE NEWSPAPERS. WE'VE ALSO PLACED HARD COPIES AROUND THE COUNTY IN VARIOUS PUBLIC LIBRARY LOCATIONS SO THAT IT IS ACCESSIBLE. WE'VE HAD A SERIES OF MEETINGS ON THIS. WE'VE BROUGHT THEM TO OUR SUBCOMMITTEES OF THE BOARD BOTH OUR TECHNICAL ADVISORY AS WELL AS THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND OF COURSE WE ARE HERE TODAY WHERE WE ARE ALSO ACCEPTING PUBLIC COMMENT. SO WITH THAT I WILL STOP.

AND I'M GLAD TO TRY TO RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE.

HEARING NONE. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING SO NOW VICE MAYOR [INAUDIBLE] WOULD YOU PLEASE COME UP YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU NORMALLY HAVE THREE MINUTES BUT YOU'RE A PUBLIC OFFICIAL SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU THREE MINUTES. GOOD MORNING CHAIR ORTIS, VICE CHAIR GOOD, MY FELLOW ELECTED COLLEAGUES THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU THIS MORNING. I WANTED TO SPEAK OBVIOUSLY ABOUT THE SW 10TH STREET PROJECT THAT IS INVOLVED IN IN MY CITY. BEFORE I WAS ELECTED IN 2017 I WAS AND STILL AM THE CHAIR OF THAT COAT COMMITTEE THAT WE ALL TALK ABOUT THE CITIZENS OVERSIGHT ADVISORY TEAM. AND THAT WAS A VERY LENGTHY HEATED PROCESS THAT CAME UP WITH 18 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE QUICKLY SUMMARIZED FOR YOU THIS MORNING BUT THOSE ARE BASICALLY THE TEMPLATE FOR THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO PROCEED GOING FORWARD. THOSE ARE THE RULES THAT WE ALL AGREED TO. AND UNTIL THIS TUESDAY LAST TUESDAY NIGHT MEETING WHICH I WAS IN AT BY THE WAY BECAUSE OF SUNSHINE THOSE RULES WEREN'T BEING FOLLOWED. AND SO IT'S GOOD FOR ME TO HEAR THAT THOSE WERE MAYBE ON A NEW PATH. BUT I'D LIKE TO GET MORE DETAILS MYSELF AS WE GO FORWARD. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS GOING FORWARD. YOU SAW THE RENDERINGS. YOU SAW THE YELLOW LINE ON SW 10TH STREET. THIS ROAD GOES RIGHT THROUGH THIS MIDDLE OF THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH. YES THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED MANY MANY YEARS AGO BUT IT WASN'T. AND NOW WE'RE FACED WITH THE FACT THAT THERE ARE RESIDENTIAL ON BOTH SIDES OF 10TH STREET IT'S NOT LIKE 595 OR 75 WHERE THERE'S WIDE OPEN SPACES IN SOME PARTS. YOU ARE DIRECTLY AGAINST RESIDENTIAL ON BOTH SIDES OF SW 10TH STREET. AND SO THOSE RESIDENTS IN THE WATERWAYS COMMUNITY THAT WE TALKED ABOUT INDEPENDENCE BAY AND WATERFORD HOMES THOSE ARE THOSE ARE RESIDENTS OF MY DISTRICT. THAT'S WHY I WAS LARGELY ELECTED IN 2017 WAS TO REPRESENT THEM AND TO HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD AND TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HEARD THEIR VOICES. SO GOING FORWARD I WOULD ASK THAT YOU JUST PLEASE DON'T RUSH FOR THE SAKE OF RUSHING THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO THE RESIDENTS OF NORTHWEST BROWARD COUNTY AND DEERFIELD BEACH IN PARTICULAR TAKE ALL THE COMMENTS INTO CONSIDERATION. MR. SOFIELD WAS SPEAKING THIS MORNING ABOUT THE SAWGRASS AND TURNPIKE INTERCHANGE. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU EVALUATE THAT PD&E AND CONNECTION WITH THE SW 10TH STREET PD&E AT THE SAME TIME AS WELL.

YOU HEARD FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION THIS MORNING TELL YOU THAT THOSE PROJECTS AREN'T SYNCED. THAT THE TURNPIKE IS ACTUALLY BEHIND THE SW 10TH STREET PD&E. WELL THE MOVEMENTS THAT COME OUT OF THE PD&E FOR THE SAWGRASS AND TURNPIKE COULD VASTLY AFFECT SW 10TH STREET AND VICE VERSA. SO I WOULD JUST IMPLORE YOU TO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE COMMENTS AND ALL THE SYNCHRONIZATION IS IN PLACE BEFORE A FINAL DECISION IS MADE. AND LASTLY WHAT I'D LIKE TO TO EXPRESS TO ALL OF YOU IS MY FELLOW ELECTED COLLEAGUES UP HERE IS THERE'S BEEN SOME REPRESENTATIONS MADE AND IT WAS BRIEFLY REFERENCED EARLIER THAT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS REPRESENTING TWO COMMUNITIES OUTSIDE OF DEERFIELD BEACH THAT THE ELECTED OFFICIALS INSIDE OF DEERFIELD BEACH ARE AGAINST THIS PROJECT AND THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. YOU HEARD THE MAYOR'S COMMENTS THIS MORNING THAT WE HAVE BEEN WILLING PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROCESS. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS PROCESS FOR OVER FIVE YEARS NOW. THREE OF THEM AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN TWO AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. WE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN WILLING PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROCESS WE HAVE PROVIDED OUR INPUT. DO WE HAVE SOME CONCERNS. YOU BET WE HAVE SOME CONCERNS. THIS IS OUR COMMUNITY WHERE WE LIVE WE LIVE WORK AND PLAY AND I'M SURE IF IT WAS YOUR RESIDENTS YOU'D HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS THAT WE DO. BUT THAT DOESN'T

[01:40:01]

MEAN THAT WE ARE TRYING TO KILL THIS PROJECT, TO STOP THIS PROJECT, OR TO MAKE THIS PROJECT NOT GO FORWARD WE WANT THIS PROJECT TO WORK FOR EVERYBODY. SO THIS IS THAT THIS THAT THIS CAN BECOME THE GATEWAY TO NORTH BROWARD. SO PLEASE TAKE THOSE CONSIDERATIONS INTO INTO INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU'RE MAKING A DECISION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT DEERFIELD BEACH ACTUALLY THINKS ABOUT THIS PROJECT THEN ASK DEERFIELD BEACH WHAT WE THINK ABOUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE I AM AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME. I MET EVERY MEETING. I SEE ALL OF YOU IN DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS ALONG THE WAY. THE MAYOR IS EXTREMELY INVOLVED AS WELL. ASK US WHAT IS OUR OPINION IS AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU. THANK YOU VICE MAYOR APPRECIATE IT.

OK. MR. [INAUDIBLE]. COAT MEMBER. DAVE [INAUDIBLE]. AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES SIR. MORNING CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE MPO. MY NAME IS DAVE [INAUDIBLE]. BACK IN THE SPRING OF 2015 I WAS THE IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR OF THE CHAMBER AND I WAS HONORED AND I FELT THAT A PRIVILEGE TO BE ASKED TO REPRESENT THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY FOR DEERFIELD BEACH ON THE COAT. AND I'M HAPPY TO SAY AS A RESULT OF TUESDAY'S MEETING AND SOME OF THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS MADE TODAY I'M STILL FEEL HONORED AND PRIVILEGED TO BE A PART OF THE PROCESS. I'M A RECOVERING BANKER NOW. BACK THEN I WAS A BANKER AND NOW I'M THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEERFIELD BEACH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL. I YOU KNOW IT APPEARS BASED ON SOME OF THE INFORMATION WE GOT TODAY THAT THE FDOT IS MOVING IN THE DIRECTIONS OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE VICE MAYOR AND THE MAYOR AND [INAUDIBLE] REVIEW [INAUDIBLE] WE'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE ABOUT IN THE EDC IS ALL ABOUT JOB GROWTH AND THE MAYOR MADE SOME REFERENCES TO SOME OF BROWARD COUNTY'S BEST KEPT SECRETS. AND THERE'S PLENTY MORE IN DEERFIELD BEACH. WE WE UNDERSTAND THAT JOB GROWTH IS THE IS THE KEY TO ALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND IS AS MUCH AS THE MPO AND THE FDOT IS LISTEN TO THE BUSINESS CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR IMPACT IT'S GOING TO NOT ONLY HELP OUR COMMUNITY BUT THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY. I'D LIKE TO REMIND THE MEMBERS OF THE MPO THAT THE RECORDED MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR WAS THAT MEANINGFUL COMMUNICATION SHOULD CONTINUE NOT ONLY THROUGH THE REST OF THIS FISCAL YEAR BUT THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT. MS. KATHERINE FREITAG. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. THANK YOU. HI I'M KATIE. JUST KATIE. I'M. COULD WE HAVE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD PLEASE. KATIE FREITAG. THAT'S GREAT THANK YOU. I'M KATIE. YOU'RE KATIE GO AHEAD. I AM A DEERFIELD BEACH RESIDENT AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO AFFECT NOT JUST OUR BUSINESSES BUT OF COURSE OUR RESIDENTS IN THE WHOLE AREA. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A IMPORTANT FOR THE COUNTY BUT RIGHT DOWN TO IT IT AFFECTS DEERFIELD FIRST AND FOREMOST. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE NEED TO REMEMBER IS AS I ALLUDED THERE WERE FOUR BUSINESSES IN THAT CORRIDOR RIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION OF POWERLINE AND HILLSBOROUGH. THERE'S FOUR BUSINESSES AND ONE VERY VERY SMALL QUADRANT. THERE'S MORE CLOSE TO 150 BUSINESSES IN THAT AREA. THERE'S WATER THERE'S VAN KIRK & SON'S POOLS. THERE IS POMEROY ELECTRIC. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER BUSINESSES THAT WILL DEFINITELY BE AFFECTED BY THIS BY JUST THE CONSTRUCTION THE FOUR FIVE YEARS IT'S GOING TO TAKE THEM TO CONSTRUCT THIS. ONE SIDE NOTE WHY ARE WE DOING 95 AGAIN IF WE JUST DID 95 RIGHT THERE AT HILLSBOROUGH. WE JUST FINISHED 95 AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE IT ALL AGAIN TO MAKE IT ALL CONNECT. NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. ONE OF THE OTHER BIG ASPECTS OF IT IS I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE AHEAD OF OURSELVES IN ONE ASPECT AND THAT IS I WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT BUILDS AND DESIGNS DATA CENTERS. TEN YEARS AGO I MADE A TON OF MONEY BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTED CO LOCATIONS. WE PUT CO LOCATIONS ALL OVER EVERYTHING IS TOP NOTCH CATEGORY 10 YOU NAME IT YOUR SET YOUR SERVERS YOUR EQUIPMENT AND YOUR INFORMATION WAS SAFE IN THOSE CO LOCATIONS. THEN ALONG CAME THE CLOUD. THE CLOUD HAS SUCKED ALL THOSE COOL LOCATIONS DRY. ALL THE CLOUDS THE CLOUD HAS TAKEN ALL THE INFORMATION ALL OF THE SERVERS FROM THE CO LOCATIONS AND IT'S ALL ON THE CLOUD AND ALL OF THESE CUSTOMERS ARE STUCK WITH THESE CO LOCATIONS WITH NO CUSTOMERS IN THEM. ARE WE GETTING AHEAD OF OURSELVES IN THE ASPECT OF WE ARE HAVING PEOPLE BUILD APARTMENTS RIGHT NEXT TO TRAIN STATIONS SO THAT THEY CAN WORK, LIVE, PLAY RIGHT IN THE SAME SPOT AND NOT HAVE TO USE THEIR CARS. WE'RE PUTTING IN ALL OF THESE GREAT BICYCLE LANES SO PEOPLE CAN RIDE THEIR BIKES AND NOT HAVE TO USE THEIR CARS. ARE

[01:45:05]

WE GETTING AHEAD OF OURSELVES AND SAYING LET'S CREATE THIS AREA THESE AREAS THESE LITTLE CITIES INSIDE OF OUR CITIES THAT MAKE IT SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR HOME. YOUR GROCERIES CAN GET DELIVERED NOW. YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS CAN GET DELIVERED NOW. EVERYTHING YOU'RE SHOPPING CAN ALL BE DELIVERED TO YOUR HOUSE NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE YOUR CARS. MAYBE WE NEED TO RETHINK THIS AND NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES WHEN 10 YEARS 12 YEARS DOWN THE LINE WHEN THERE'S NOT NEARLY AS MANY CARS OUT ON THE ROADS AS THERE ARE TODAY. THANK YOU MS. FREITAG APPRECIATE IT. OK WE'RE READY TO VOTE ON THIS MOTION. NEED A MOTION. CHAIRMAN IF YOU WOULD JUST ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO MAY NOT FILLED. ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC DID THAT FILL OUT A REQUEST. HEARING NONE. WE'LL HAVE A MOTION AND MOTION BY COMMISSIONER JOHNSON. SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SOFIELD.

CHAIRMAN THIS IS A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DRAFT FISCAL YEAR 2020 MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST. THAT'S CORRECT. NEED A MOTION. WE'VE GOT A QUESTION FIRST. SENATOR CARN.

I WAS QUEUING UP FOR DISCUSSION. OH WELL OK. CAN I HAVE A MOTION ON THE ITEM AND THEN.

WE HAVE BILL CROSS IF YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR A PRESENTATION.

ANYBODY WANT TO HEAR A PRESENTATION. I DON'T THINK SO. WE'RE GOOD. OK. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE INDICATE BY YOUR VOTE. PLEASE PROCEED TO VOTE. PRECEDE TO VOTE. MR. CARN SORRY. MY FAULT MY FAULT MY IMPETUOUSNESS. SENATOR SENATOR CARN. GO AHEAD. CHAIR I'D LIKE TO I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE AS BRIEF AS I CAN. I DON'T LIKE TO APPEAR TO BE HYPOCRITICAL OR SUBVERSIVE AND SERVING IN A PUBLIC CAPACITY. AND I ALSO DON'T LIKE TO BE JUST PIGEON HOLED INTO OAKLAND PARK. I'M HERE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ENTIRE COUNTY. I WANTED TO GO ON RECORD TO SAY THAT I DID MEET HERE. MY STAFF I MET HERE ON THE 18TH WITH THE MPO STAFF AND TALKED ABOUT A PROJECT THAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS PARTICULAR THIS DRAFT THAT THIS MMPL THAT I'M ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO. AND THAT IS GREAT SEPARATION PROJECT IN THE CITY OF OAKLAND PARK COMMERCIAL AND DIXIE HIGHWAY. I WENT ON RECORD THERE WAS A MINUTE PUSHED HERE. I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO COME TO US FOR A RESOLUTION. I'M GOING TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO ASK MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS TO NOT APPROVE THIS PROJECT. I'M ON RECORD WITH THE PUBLIC MEETING WITH FDOT WHERE THERE WAS A SIMILAR IS A SIMILAR STUDY UNDERWAY IN DESIGN THEY SAY AT COMMERCIAL AND ANDREWS AVENUE GREAT SEPARATION TO START A FLYOVER. YOU'RE GOING TO KILL THESE INTERSECTIONS. I DON'T THINK AS A GENERAL PHILOSOPHY THAT GREAT SEPARATIONS WORK IN OUR CITIES. I THINK THEY'RE BAD IDEAS AT THE FREEWAYS IN ALL OF THAT PERHAPS YES. SO MY VOTE TODAY I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR BECAUSE MY OTHER CITIES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PLAN. BUT I WAS MADE A SURE THAT IF WE IF THIS RESOLUTION DOES NOT PASS AND THIS PROJECT GOES AWAY FROM OAKLAND PARK THIS DIXIE AND I JUST I JUST WANT TO SAY IN LANGUAGE WE SHOULD REALLY BE CAREFUL. AS MAYOR GANZ SAID ABOUT HOW YOU COMMUNICATE THINGS. WE GOT THIS PRESENTED TO US TO SAY THAT THERE ARE TWO ALTERNATIVES THAT WE EITHER PUT THE RAILROAD TRACK OVER THE FREEWAY OVER THE HIGHWAY OR WE PUT THE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC OVER THE RAIL. WE KNOW GOOD AND WELL THAT

[01:50:05]

WE WOULD NEVER LIFT A RAILROAD TRACK IN SOUTH FLORIDA. THAT'S JUST THE FEC. YOU'RE NOT GONNA PUT A RAIL OVER ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR WATER PERHAPS. AND SO I'D JUST LIKE US TO BE GENUINE IN THOSE PRESENTATIONS HOW THEY COME OUT TO US AND I WANT TO EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR MY FELLOW CITIES WHO ARE GOING TO BENEFIT. AND THANK YOU FOR THOSE PROJECTS THAT WE DO AGREE WITH THAT ARE COMING TO OAKLAND PARK IN THIS PARTICULAR DOCUMENTS. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER CARN. COMMISSIONER FURR. THANK YOU. I'M JUST GONNA GO ON RECORD BECAUSE I THINK THAT WHEN I LOOK WHEN WE LOOK AT THE ALLOCATION ON THIS I THINK IT IS LACKING A LITTLE BIT. AND FOR THE MOST PART WHERE I SEE WHEN THE PEOPLE WE REPRESENT PRIMARILY TALK TO US ABOUT MOBILITY TRYING TO GET AROUND THIS COUNTY TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ARTERIALS ARE ARE WORKING THAT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS ARE ARE SYNCING UP ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF THAT FALLS UNDER THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY. WE'RE ONLY ALLOCATING 15 PERCENT OF THAT. AND I HONESTLY THINK WE SHOULD BE DOING MUCH MORE THAN THAT. WE ARE WHAT WE SAW TODAY HOW MUCH WAS GOING TO BICYCLE LANES AND TO PEDESTRIANS. I'M A BIG BICYCLE FAN. I LOVE RIDING ALL OVER IT. BUT THAT PERCENTAGE WAS WAY LOPSIDED WHEN I THINK IN TERMS OF WHAT I KNOW PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR .AND WHEN I LOOK WHEN I SEE THE COMPLETE STREETS AND I UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW EVERYBODY WANTS YOU KNOW THEY YOU GOT A LITTLE YOU GOT A LITTLE SMALL AREAS YOU WANT TO WORK ON. BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THIS ON A REGIONAL LEVEL AND WHEN I LOOK AND WHEN I LOOK WHAT I THINK EVERYBODY'S ASKING FOR AND WHEN WE ALL SEE THE THINGS THAT GO ON IN THIS COUNTY WE SEE HOW IT'S GOTTEN CONGESTED. I LOOK AT THIS AS THAT OUR ALLOCATIONS ARE OFF. I'M GONNA VOTE FOR THIS [INAUDIBLE] ONLY BECAUSE WELL ACTUALLY I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GONNA VOTE FOR THIS. BUT I KNOW WE YOU KNOW WE'VE TRIED TO GET THROUGH WE HAD A RETREAT. WE DISCUSS IT AND THEN LASTLY WHEN I LOOK AT THE MOBILITY HUBS AND WHAT AND WE ALL KNOW ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES IN THIS COUNTY HAS TO DO WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HOW DO YOU CONNECT AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH TRANSPORTATION. WELL YOU GOT TO STUDY IT YOU'VE GOT IT FIGURED OUT AND THIS PART OF IT DEALING WITH MOBILITY HUBS IS WHERE YOU DO THAT. AND THIS SHOULD BE THE BODY THAT IS TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT AND IT'S TRYING TO MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS DOING THOSE REAL ESTATE ANALYSIS LOOKING AT WHERE YOU CAN START TO BUILD YOU KNOW WHERE IT MAKES SENSE WHERE THE HUBS OUGHT TO BE WHERE THAT WHERE THE NEXUS IS AND OUR OUR ALLOCATION FOR THAT IS PITIFUL.

THAT'S WHAT I THAT'S MY MY OWN OPINION ON THIS. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER GOOD. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER GOOD. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. AND SO I GUESS THANK YOU TO COMMISSIONER FURR FOR HIS COMMENTS. I KNOW THAT WE HAD THE RETREAT AND WE SPOKE ABOUT WHAT WAS IMPORTANT AND THE ALLOCATIONS WERE DISTRIBUTED AND THAT'S A LARGE PART OF HOW OUR PLANS ARE BASED. SO I GUESS IN LIGHT OF YOUR COMMENTS AND ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO TRAFFIC LIGHT TIMING WHICH IS A HUGE ISSUE THAT A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS INDICATE. SO DO YOU TO COMMISSIONER FURR DO YOU HAVE IF YOU IF YOU CAN CHANGE THIS IN SOME FASHION AND I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST UP TO YOU BUT IT'S UP TO THE GROUP AND TO STAFF AND TO THE INPUT OF EVERYONE HERE. I JUST LIKE JUST VERY QUICKLY TO HEAR WHAT. WELL. WHAT WOULD BE SOME OF YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS. AND I'LL SAY THE HARD PART. COMMISSIONER FURR. THANK YOU. WHEN WE WHEN WE WERE VOTING ON THIS AND IT WAS YOU KNOW WE WERE JUST KIND OF ALL RIGHT AFTER THE RETREAT KIND OF DOING A YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT OF A SURVEY THAT SURVEY NOW HAS ITS POWER HERE. IT'S I DON'T THINK WE RECOGNIZED THE WEIGHT OF WHAT WE WERE VOTING WHEN WE'RE DOING WE WERE ALL DOING OUR YOU KNOW IT SEEMED LIKE OK AFTER RETREAT HERE'S WHAT WE'RE THINKING BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WE ARE YOU KNOW FULLY COGNIZANT OF EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS AND WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT THE RAMIFICATIONS ARE. YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT THROUGH THE SURTAX THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF MONEY PUT INTO THE ARTERIAL AND TO THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHY THE MPO WAS THINKING OK MAYBE WE DON'T NEED TO DO SO MUCH BECAUSE THE COUNTY IS DOING THAT. MAYBE YOU WANT TO RESPOND TO THAT. MR. CHAIR DO YOU MIND IF I IF I RESPOND. GO AHEAD. PETER [INAUDIBLE] WITH THE BROWARD MPO AND METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN PROJECT MANAGER. COMMISSIONER FURR I KNOW THE 15 PERCENT ALLOCATION IN THE ON THE WHOLE LOOKS LIKE IT'S VERY MINOR WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER ALLOCATIONS BUT IF YOU REMEMBER WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS SINCE THE

[01:55:04]

BEGINNING OF THE YEAR ABOUT THE ALLOCATION OF MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS. SO WHEN YOU SEE THOSE WHEN YOU SEE THAT NUMBER THAT IS FOR MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS WHICH IS ABOUT 30 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. THERE ARE OTHER INVESTMENTS BEING MADE IN THE NETWORK IN TSMNO. NO THE STATE HAS ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR THE LIFE OF THE PLAN TO MAKE INVESTMENTS ON ON SYSTEM ON THE NETWORK. THE COUNTY AS PART OF THE SURTAX HAS INVESTMENTS IN TSMNO. SO THIS IS A PART THAT'S 15 PERCENT OF OUR APPROXIMATELY 30 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR THAT ARE GOING TO TMSNO AND SAFETY. AND PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS WAS HOW DO WE USE THOSE 30 MILLION DOLLARS EFFICIENTLY IF THE STATE AND THE COUNTY IS ALREADY INVESTING LARGELY IN THE NETWORK.

LET'S FIND A WAY TO USE THOSE MPO FUNDS IN OTHER WAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMPLEMENTING THE INVESTMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY BEING MADE. SAME THING WITH TRANSIT WE KNOW THAT TRANSIT INVESTMENTS ARE BEING MADE. SO LET'S TRY AND FOCUS ON THE BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS OFF THE STATE SYSTEM AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE QUITE A HIGH PERCENTAGE IN OUR COMPLETE STREETS AND LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM AND OUR COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN. AND THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS ULTIMATELY VOTED ON BY THE MPO BOARD ON MAY 9TH AS PART OF THIS ALLOCATION. SO WE STARTED THE DISCUSSION IN JANUARY HAD A COUPLE OF SESSIONS AND THEN MAY 9TH VOTED ON THIS AND NOW AS YOU SAID IT'S BEING REFLECTED IN THE MULTI-MODAL PRIORITIES LIST AND IT IS A TARGET THAT WE ARE TRYING TO MEET. RIGHT AND I RECOGNIZE THAT PARTICULARLY WITH THE ARTERIAL PART. BUT I DO THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE AND 15 PERCENT IS YOU KNOW IT'S NOT BAD. BUT I DO THINK THAT THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING BY FAR LAYING FIBER OPTIC THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE COUNTY IS GOING TO REQUIRE EVERYBODY PITCHING IN. THIS IS WHERE WE PITCH IN. I ACTUALLY THINK WE CAN PITCH IN MORE. WITH REGARD TO THE MOBILITY HUBS I DON'T SEE AND MAYBE THERE IS I DON'T YOU KNOW I DON'T SEE THE FEDERAL OR THE STATE COMING IN WITH MONEY FOR THAT AND THAT'S A HARD [INAUDIBLE] FOR US TO GET OUR ACT TOGETHER ON AND WE'RE SEEING THAT BECAUSE WE'VE GOT ZERO MONEY YOU KNOW DEDICATED TO THAT.

HOWEVER IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE YOU KNOW HIGH ON ONE OF OUR HIGHEST PRIORITIES. HOW DO WE GET PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS. HOW DO WE GET PEOPLE LIVING NEAR THE RAILROAD STATIONS NEAR THE BUS. HOW DO WE DO THAT. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT DEDICATING HARDLY ANYTHING TO THAT AND WE CAN AND THERE IS NO ONE REALLY TAKING UP SLACK ON THAT ONE. THAT'S SO I'M CONCERNED ON THAT. AND I THINK THAT THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT. ONE THING THAT I WOULD CAUTION YOU ON WHEN YOU SEE THAT ZERO NUMBER ONE OF THE REASONS WHY YOU'RE NOT SEEING A MOBILITY HUB AS PART OF THIS MULTI-MODAL PRIORITIES LIST CYCLE IS BECAUSE WE ARE WAITING TO HAVE MORE COORDINATION WITH BROWARD COUNTY AND THE INVESTMENT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE ON THE MAJOR TRANSIT CORRIDORS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE THE BEST LOCATIONS WHERE WE CAN START MOVING FORWARD WITH MOBILITY HUB INVESTMENTS. I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK TOO MUCH FOR JAMES HERE AS THE PROJECT MANAGER JAMES [INAUDIBLE] BUT I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IS THAT WE'RE FACILITATING THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT TRANSIT ROUTES AND DIFFERENT TRANSIT MODES AS WELL. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE VITALLY IMPORTANT AS THE COUNTY BEGINS TO IMPLEMENT THOSE TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THOSE MAJOR CORRIDORS. SO WE DON'T WANT TO START MAKING INVESTMENTS NOW AHEAD OF YOUR PLAN. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO COORDINATE WITH YOU ON AND STAND UP A PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITIES ARE COMING TO THE TABLE TO MAKE SURE DEVELOPERS ARE COMING TO THE TABLE BECAUSE COMMISSIONER FURR YOU HIT ON A REALLY REALLY EXCELLENT POINT IS THAT LAND USE AFFECTS TRANSPORTATION AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BRINGING ALL THE PLAYERS TO THE TABLE. IT'S NO GOOD FOR US AS THE MPO JUST TO IMPLEMENT TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONNECTIONS WHEN THE LAND THE SUPPORT OF LAND USE AREN'T IN PLACE. SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE INTEND TO DO AND WE'RE TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE AND ALLOCATE SOME FUNDING THERE AND ALSO NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES. SO I THINK THAT COORDINATION IS SOMETHING THAT WILL TAKE PLACE OVER THE NEXT YEAR WITH BOTH CITY AND COUNTIES. RIGHT AND WITH THAT I THINK YOU KNOW I PROBABLY AM GONNA GO AND SUPPORT THIS BUT I THINK WITH THIS YEAR COMING UP WE KNOW WHAT WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE. WE KNOW WHAT CITIES NEED TO BE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF LAND USE AND ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS. AND MY HOPE IS NEXT YEAR WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS IT'S A DIFFERENT ALLOCATION. I APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENT AND JUST QUICKLY ON COMMISSIONER CARN'S POINT ABOUT PROJECTS BEING IN THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST. AS WE MENTIONED OR AS I MENTIONED EARLIER ON IN MY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN PRESENTATION IS THAT THE THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST AND THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN THE DRAFT VERSION OF THAT ARE ONE FOR ONE RIGHT NOW AND IN ORDER NOT TO MISS A WORK PROGRAM CYCLE AND WORK WITH OLD PROJECTS THIS WORK PROGRAM CYCLE AND START TO BE PROACTIVE AND WORK ON NEW PROJECTS. WE'VE MADE IT A ONE FOR ONE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT MUNICIPALITIES ARE GOING TO GIVE US RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT OR EXPRESS ALSO THEIR LACK OF SUPPORT FOR PROJECTS AND THAT WILL BE TRANSMITTED ALONG WITH THIS DOCUMENT COME AUGUST 4. SO COMMISSIONER CARN AS YOU MENTIONED THAT WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN WE DO TRANSMIT THIS LIST TO FDOT.

ALL RIGHT SCHOOL MEMBER GOOD REAL QUICK BECAUSE WE'RE MOVING ON. SO I THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER FURR AND STAFF. I THINK. THAT WAS COMMISSIONER FURR FOR SOME [INAUDIBLE]. [INAUDIBLE].

[02:00:02]

[INAUDIBLE] THERE WE GO. SO THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING IT. AND SO I THINK THAT THERE MAY BE BENEFIT HERE. I THINK YOU TOUCHED ON IT ON NOT MAKING TRANSPORTATION DECISIONS IN ISOLATION AND THE ISSUE OF YOU KNOW AFFORDABLE HOUSING, PLANNING, AND HOW IT ALL INTERACTS. YOU KNOW I SERVE ON THE PLANNING COUNCIL AS WELL. SO I THINK IT'S IT'S IT'S AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION. SO MAYBE UPON THE RETURN OF MR. STEWART THIS MPO SHOULD CONSIDER DOING SOME KIND OF SUBCOMMITTEE TO DISCUSS THAT VERY ISSUE ON HOW DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE AND HAVE SOME OF THOSE FOLKS FROM THE PLANNING COMMUNITY YOU KNOW INTERACT WITH MPO MEMBERS SO THAT MOVING FORWARD MAYBE WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR WE CAN CONSIDER MAYBE EVEN DOING THIS PARTICULAR STUDY OR YOU KNOW HOW WE COMMUNICATE AND INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER. SO WHEN WE MAKE DECISIONS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDS. SO THANK YOU MS. GOOD. AND IT'S A GOOD POINT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO KEEP SAYING PEMBROKE PINES BUT I WILL. YOU KNOW PEMBROKE PINES MIRAMAR THE LARGEST COMMUNITY FOR YOU KNOW THE BASE AND WE HAD NO TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. ZERO TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. YOU HAVE TO COME AND TAKE THIS TRAIN YOU'VE GOT TO DRIVE EAST ALMOST 15 MILES OTHERWISE YOU HAVE TO GET IN YOUR CAR. SO I'M JUST SAYING I AGREE WITH YOU MS. GOOD LET'S START TALKING ABOUT THAT. WE'RE GOING TO BE IF THE CENSUS GOES THROUGH THE NUMBER ONE CITY IN BROWARD COUNTY THE LARGEST. WE NEED SOME CONSIDERATION THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING CONSIDERATION. OK WITH THAT LET'S VOTE ON THE ITEM. GO AHEAD WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.

MR. STEWART WHEN YOU GET THE TALLY. IT'S 23 APPROVE NO. THANK YOU ALL. ALL
