[3. MOTION TO APPROVE a First Amendment to Agreement Between the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization and Tindale Oliver & Associates, Inc. for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Title VI Programs and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan and Title VI Environmental Justice Reviews of Plans & Programs]

SIR. BOARD MEMBER CARN.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

THIS ITEM STUCK OUT TO ME WHEN I LOOKED AT OUR REPORT ON OUR CONSULTANTS.

AND I WANTED TO FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION SORT OF GIVE THE PUBLIC AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AS FAR AS THIS ORGANIZATION WITH DBES AND KIND OF WHERE WE'RE GOING, WHAT THE SPIRIT OF THIS ITEM DOES FOR US IN OUR UTILIZATION OF DBE FIRMS, DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES. WHO'S GOING TO? EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR? YEAH.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. I'M GOING TO TURN TO [INAUDIBLE], WHO IS OUR PROCUREMENT PERSON WHO IS M.I.A.. SO BASICALLY, WE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN MEETING THE FTA GOALS AS FAR AS OUR DBE REQUIREMENTS, RUNNING IN A AROUND, YOU KNOW, 14 PERCENT.

SHE'S HERE? [INAUDIBLE].

THE QUESTION IS ON THE DBE ITEM .

TITLE 6 DBE.

HE WAS OUT OF THE ROOM.

I NOTICED THAT WE'VE SPENT 19 MILLION WITH CONSULTANTS.

I LOOKED AT THE CONSULTANTS REPORT AND SO I WANTED TO SEE WHAT ARE WE AS MPO DOING TO AS FAR AS DBES ARE CONCERNED? ARE WE MEETING GOALS? WELL, WE ARE MEETING GOALS, YES.

AND WE REACH OUT TO ALL THE DBES THAT ARE WITHIN OUR SYSTEM AND WE ENCOURAGE THE FIRMS, THE PRIMES TO GO OUT TO GET THE DBES AS WELL.

WE ENCOURAGED THEM OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T, AND WE WILL CHAIR OTHER DBE FIRMS IF THEY DON'T HAVE ANY. WE SHARE THEIR NAMES WITH THE OTHER, WITH THE COMPANIES, WITH THE PRIMES AS WELL. DOES THAT ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION, MICHAEL? FEDERAL STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR DBES AND [INAUDIBLE] THAT SAID, WE'RE MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS AND WE TRY TO GO TO ABOVE TO SOLICIT CONSULTANTS TO PUT EITHER BE A DBE OR BRING ON DBE FIRMS TO HELP US MEET THOSE GOALS.

AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT OVER MANY YEARS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE 'RE DOING WITH THIS CONTRACT NOW IS WE HAVE TO DO EXTENSIVE REPORTING ON DBE AND HOW WE'VE MET THE REQUIREMENTS.

WE'VE HAD SOME ALSO CHANGE WITH STAFF.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STILL MEETING ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

THIS CONSULTANT IS GOING TO JUST TAKE US THROUGH THIS KIND OF ROCKY PERIOD THAT WE HAD WHERE WE HAD SOME CHANGE OVER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MEETING ALL OUR DBE GOALS FOR THIS EFFORT. I ALSO WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING THAT CAME FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DURING ONE OF OUR CERTIFICATIONS, AND THIS WAS SEVERAL YEARS BACK, BUT THEY KIND OF YELLED AT US BECAUSE WE WERE OVER EXCEEDING THE GOALS AND MAKING A FEW OF OUR PARTNERS LOOK BAD.

THERE'S A LEVEL OF WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THIS.

THANK YOU, MR. [INAUDIBLE]. I WANTED THIS TO GO OUT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT. SO IS THERE ANY OTHER CONVERSATION ON CONSENT ITEM? IF YOU'LL PUSH YOUR REQUEST TO SPEAK.

BOARD MEMBER STONER. THANK YOU.

[00:10:01]

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN ON THE COUNTY SMALL BUSINESS ADVISORY BOARD FOR NINE YEARS AND WAS ONE OF THE CO-AUTHORS OF THE GENDER NEUTRAL ORDINANCE THAT IS NOW IN EFFECT.

I HAVE REQUESTED A MEETING WITH SANDY MCDONALD TO PUT TOGETHER A TEMPLATE, IF YOU WILL, FOR EACH OF THE CITIES TO USE AS WE GO OUT FOR OUR PROJECTS TO BE SURE THAT WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE ON THAT COMPONENT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT AND CREATE OUR OWN SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM. SIMILARLY, I'VE REQUESTED THAT WE RECEIVE A TEMPLATE CONTRACT SO EVERYBODY'S CONTRACTS ARE CONSISTENT AGAIN, WHICH WILL COMPLY AND TIE INTO THE MPOS CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE COUNTY WILL AT SOME POINT REALIZE THAT THE ONE PERSON THEY'RE GOING TO ASSIGNED TO THIS ON THEIR STAFF IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REALLY KEEP TRACK OF THIS. AS SOMEONE WHO'S DONE IT ON ACTUALLY THE NEW RUNWAY PROJECT AT THE AIRPORT, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF PAPERWORK INVOLVED IN COMPLIANCE.

AND SO I THINK IF WE GET IN FRONT OF IT AND TRY TO GET THESE PROGRAMS AND STANDARDIZE THINGS IN PLACE, IT'LL BE MUCH MORE PALATABLE FOR THE CITIES TO PROCESS AND COMPLY.

SO THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. DEPUTY VICE CHAIR GOOD.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

SO WE'RE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A PLAN BY IS IT AUGUST 2020? YES. OK.

AND SO THIS AGREEMENT WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENTITY WAS GOING TO EXPIRE THIS MONTH PRIOR TO.

YES. WHAT WAS THE EXPIRATION DATE? NOVEMBER 30TH OF THIS YEAR.

OF 2019.

SO WHY DIDN'T THIS COME TO THE MPO SOONER.

I MEAN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE MPO TODAY DECIDED THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO EXTEND IT FOR ANOTHER YEAR AND THEN WE WOULD FIND OURSELVES IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE TO SUBMIT THIS LEP AND AND IT'S DUE BY NEXT YEAR.

ACTUALLY THE THE INTENTION WAS WE'VE HAD SOME TURNOVER WHEN IT CAME TO THE DBE SIDE.

SO WE HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT WERE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED IN WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO FOR DBE.

AND UNTIL RECENTLY, THEY WERE STILL ON BOARD.

AND WE'VE HAD BACKUP.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, BOTH THE BACKUP AND THE PERSON THAT WAS TAKING OVER HAVE LEFT THE AGENCY. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S TRAINED AND UNDERSTANDS ALL OF DBE. SO KIND OF CAME.

YES, I AGREE. AT THE LAST MINUTE.

WE WEREN'T PLANNING ON EXTENDING THIS BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THE STAFF THAT WAS AVAILABLE AND TRAINED ON IT.

BUT BECAUSE THOSE STAFF MEMBERS HAD LEFT KIND OF UNEXPECTEDLY FOR US, WE FELT IT BEST EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE GOOD STAFF HERE THAT COULD PROBABLY LEARN IT.

WE THOUGHT IT BEST TO HAVE THE CONSULTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR.

PERFECT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY FURTHER CONVERSATION BEFORE WE MOVE THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 3.

IT'S BEEN MOVED BY BOARD MEMBER CARN.

SECONDED BY VICE CHAIR ORTIS.

PLEASE VOTE.

OK. IT'S BEEN APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, 20 TO ZERO.

MOVING ON TO ACTION ITEMS, THE FIRST ACTION ITEM IS A MOTION TO APPROVE THE 2020 MPO

[1. MOTION TO APPROVE the 2020 MPO Board Meeting Dates]

BOARD MEETING DATES.

MR. RONSKAVITZ. SURE WHAT WE HAVE PROPOSED FOR YOU IS THE DATES FOR NEXT YEAR.

WE DO THIS IN ADVANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO OUR PUBLIC NOTIFICATIONS FOR IT.

WE DO HAVE THE PROPOSED DATES UP ON THE SCREEN HERE.

THEY'RE THE SECOND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH AT 9:30.

WE DID PUT A NOTE HERE FOR ONE OF THE ITEMS ON APRIL 9TH THAT IT IS DURING THE PASSOVER HOLIDAY. WE DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE.

SO WE JUST WANTED TO NOTE, IF IT'S NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE BOARD, THEN THIS IS WHAT IS PROPOSED. OK, THIS PAST THE VETTING OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD LAST WEEK.

DEPUTY VICE CHAIR GOOD. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. JUST VERY QUICK.

DURING THE EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING, WE DID BRING UP THE ISSUE SOMETIMES IN JULY, JUST FOR THE LARGER GROUP HERE.

WE HAVE A LOT OF ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT ARE NOT IN ATTENDANCE BECAUSE THAT'S THE MONTH

[00:15:03]

THAT THEY AS AN ELECTED BODY TYPICALLY ARE NOT IN SESSION.

SO THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF NOT HAVING A MEETING IN JULY.

IF THEY COULD GET THE RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO BECAUSE IF EVERYONE RECALLS DURING JULY, WE ALSO VOTE ON A LOT OF THE MAJOR ITEMS. SO STAFF INDICATED THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO SEEK OUT FROM I THINK IT'S FDOT.

AND MAYBE STAFF CAN ELABORATE A LITTLE QUICKLY ABOUT THAT.

SURE. YOU SO TYPICALLY IN JULY WE USUALLY GET THAT THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

THAT'S A BIG DOCUMENT.

AND I'M SURE MOST OF YOU ARE AWARE IT'S GOT ALL OUR PROJECTS THAT ARE PROGRAM FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. SO USUALLY IT COMES IN JULY.

ONE OF THE THINGS WHAT WE WEIGHT ON IS FOR WHAT'S CALLED THE TAPE DROP OR DOWNLOAD FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, WHICH IS BASED ON THEIR WORK PROGRAM, WHICH YOU ACTUALLY HEARD, I BELIEVE, LAST MONTH.

SO WE WAIT ON THAT USUALLY COMES APRIL, MAY.

WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT ALL.

WE REVIEW IT ALL UPLOADED INTO OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

THERE'S SOME MAPPING AND STUFF THAT GOES ON.

WE VERIFY ALL THE INFORMATION AND THEN IT GOES THROUGH OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEES.

IF WE CAN GET THAT EARLIER AND WE'LL WORK WITH FDOT.

IF WE CAN DO THAT EARLIER WE WOULD CERTAINLY LOVE TO GET IT MUCH EARLIER.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE OUR ATTEMPT BECAUSE THAT'S USUALLY THE MAJOR THING THAT COMES IN JULY. THERE MIGHT BE OTHER THINGS, BUT THAT'S USUALLY THE MAJOR ISSUE.

AND WE RELY ON THE OTHER AGENCIES TO SUPPLY THAT INFORMATION.

SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM.

AND I KNOW WE HAVE SOME FDOT STAFF AND PLUS OUR LIAISONS HERE.

THEY'RE HEARING THIS. THEY'RE HEARING THIS YES.

AND IF WE POSSIBLY CAN WE YOU KNOW, IF THIS DOES WORK OUT, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO BOTH HAVE NO MEETING IN AUGUST AND NO MEETING IN JULY.

AND THAT IS ACTUALLY SO THAT MEETS EVERYBODY'S NEEDS, WHICH WOULD BE GREAT FOR ALL OF US HERE AS WELL. THAT SAID, IN 2021, WHEN WE DO THE NEXT AGENDA, THAT IS AN EARLIER SESSION.

SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS SHOULD BE EARLIER AS WELL.

SO THEY GO BACK AND THE LEGISLATURE IS GOING TO GO BACK AND FORTH MOVING SESSION INTO JANUARY AND THEN OTHER TIMES INTO MARCH.

SO THAT ALSO AFFECTS OUR SCHEDULE.

AND MY MY REASONING FOR BRINGING IT UP AND IT WASN'T TO HAVE JULY AND AUGUST, IT WAS JUST MERELY TO SWITCH AUGUST TO JULY.

IT WAS BECAUSE I THINK WHEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE THOSE BIGGER CONVERSATIONS OF THE PROJECTS IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THE MPO IN ATTENDANCE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, JULY JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE A LOT OF ABSENCES.

SO IF IT COULD BE ACCOMMODATED SOONER THAT WAS MY INTENT TO HAVE MORE OF OUR MEMBERS PRESENT. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER TRANTALIS.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I WANT TO GET BACK TO THE APRIL 9TH MEETING, BECAUSE PASSOVER DOES BEGIN ON APRIL 8TH I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD JUST IGNORE IT.

I THINK IT'S CULTURALLY INSENSITIVE IF WE'RE EXPECTING MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD TO ATTEND DURING A HIGH HOLIDAY? I DON'T THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE.

I THINK WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT DATE.

I'M NOT GOING TO OUT ANYBODY.

BOARD MEMBER, VICE CHAIR ORTIS.

THANK YOU. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JUST MENTIONED IT.

THE PEMBROKE PINES, ONE OF THE GREATEST CITIES, WE'RE OFF IN AUGUST.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BUT WE'RE OFF IN AUGUST AND THOSE THAT HAVE A LIFE NOT ME GO ON VACATION. SO JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT AS WELL.

BOARD MEMBER COLBOURNE. YES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I DID WANT TO ALSO SAY THAT, YES, THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF AUGUST, WE ARE OFF IN THE CITY OF MIRAMAR AS WELL.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO BE ON VACATION.

I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE A LIFE LIKE OTIS.

[LAUGHTER] BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD.

I'D LIKE TO TRY THAT. OKAY.

BOARD MEMBER CARN? THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I'M NOT BEING INSENSITIVE, BUT MAYOR TRANTALIS BROUGHT UP THE PASSOVER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT TRADITION IS.

DO WE HAVE ANYBODY AMONG US THAT CAN EXPLAIN THAT TO US? IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO PUT THE REQUEST TO SPEAK, I WILL RECOGNIZE THEM AHEAD OF THE QUEUE.

NO, YOU'RE NOT IN OH, YES, YOU ARE.

FORMER CHAIR BLATTNER.

AND, I'M SURE. COMMISSIONER UDINE WILL HAVE A COMMENT TOO.

IT IS NOT A HIGH HOLIDAY.

NO, THIS IS NOT PASSOVER.

[00:20:01]

SORRY.

PASSOVER IT'S THE NIGHT BEFORE IT STARTS THE NEXT DAY.

YEAH. IT STARTS AT DUSK.

MIDNIGHT. RIGHT. SO IT'S NOT IN THE MORNING.

YES. IT'S [INAUDIBLE] HOLIDAY.

YEAH. IT STARTS ON THE 8TH.

THE EVENING OF APRIL 8TH AND THEN ENDS ON APRIL 16TH.

SO THAT CHANGES. OK.

SO THE QUESTION WOULD BE EXCUSE ME.

THE QUESTION WOULD BE, DO YOU WANT TO MOVE THE MEETING TO ANOTHER DAY OR ANOTHER WEEK RATHER. CAN WE MAKE A SUGGESTION EITHER THAT WEDNESDAY OR DO WE WANT TO MOVE IT TO THE THURSDAY OF EXECUTIVE, WHICH IS THE THURSDAY PRIOR? WELL, I WOULD SUGGEST DO THE WEDNESDAY INSTEAD OF THURSDAY FOR THAT MONTH, JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T RELEASE THE AGENDA FOR THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING UNTIL AFTER WE HOLD THE EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING FOR CHANGES THAT MAY OCCUR.

BOARD MEMBER UDINE. IF THEY'RE GONNA CHANGE IT TO WEDNESDAY, THAT WORKS.

BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT HUGE OF A DEAL.

MOST PEOPLE DO WORK THROUGH PASSOVER.

IT'S JUST IF THE HOLIDAY JUST REQUIRES US NOT TO HAVE BREAD MATERIALS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY REALLY TAKE OFF.

I'VE NEVER TAKEN OFF PASSOVER.

BUT YEAH.

BUT I'M GOOD MOVING IT TO THE DAY BEFORE, IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE.

BUT PASSOVER MOST PEOPLE DO WORK DURING THE PASSOVER HOLIDAY.

IT'S A FULL WEEK. THEY JUST MAKE SURE THAT ANY BREAD OR LEAVENED MATERIAL.

LEAVEN YEAH. BOARD MEMBER JAFFE, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

OH, YES MR. CHAIR I WAS GOING TO JUST ECHO WHAT COMMISSIONER UDINE SAID, THAT THE FIRST SEDER IS USUALLY THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THE SECOND SEDER IS AT NIGHT.

SO IT'S JUST AT A NIGHTTIME TYPE THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND.

BUT IT'S NOT CONSIDERED A HIGH HOLIDAY.

AND I DO FLY SOMETIMES ON PASSOVER DURING THE DAY.

SO I'M FINE WITH THAT DAY UNLESS YOU WANT.

THE CONSENSUS WAS TO MOVE IT.

RIGHT. FORMER CHAIR BLATTNER.

WELL, I WOULD BASED ON THOSE COMMENTS OF MY OWN KNOWLEDGE.

YOU ARE CORRECT. IT'S BASICALLY TWO MEALS.

FIRST AND SECOND NIGHT.

AND EVERYBODY GOES ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS DURING THE DAY.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY REASON TO MOVE THIS, BUT I APPRECIATE THE SENSITIVITY AND I THINK THAT WAS REALLY RELEVANT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. IT SEEMS LIKE.

BOARD MEMBER TRANTALIS.

SO WOULD IT BE A BIG DEAL IF WE MOVED IT TO WEDNESDAY? BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE BOARD MEMBERS, IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT ATTEND MEETINGS, TOO.

SO AND WHILE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE HERE ON THE DAIS THAT MAY NOT CONSIDER IT A HIGH HOLIDAY, HAVING GROWN UP IN A JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD AND HAVING A LOT OF JEWISH FRIENDS, I KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT HOLIDAY IN THEIR RELIGION.

SO IF WE MOVED IT TO WEDNESDAY, THAT WOULD CERTAINLY ALLOW US TO HAVE OUR MEETING AND NOT INTERFERE WITH ANY OF THE CELEBRATIONS OF PASSOVER.

BOARD MEMBER KIRDAHY.

I'M I ON. YES. OK, I'M NOT OF THAT FAITH.

BUT FOR I DON'T WANT TO ADMIT HOW MANY YEARS I WORKED FOR AN ENTIRELY JEWISH FIRM IN NEW YORK. I WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN.

SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M JEWISH BY ADOPTION.

AND NO ONE TOOK OFF DURING THE DAY.

NO ONE. THEY WOULD LEAVE BY SUNDOWN LIKE THEY DO IN ROSH HASHANAH.

IF I'M SAYING THAT RIGHT.

BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS AN ISSUE.

HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOU GUYS THINK, YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT TOO.

I DON'T THINK IT'S AN ISSUE FOR THE FAITH.

HOWEVER. OKAY SMALL CITIES EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER JOHNSON.

YES. I'M I ON.

I AGREE THAT IT'S PROBABLY NOT A HOLIDAY THAT'S CELEBRATED LIKE DURING THE DAY.

BUT THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT PERCEPTION.

AND PERHAPS IT'S NOT REALLY RIGHT FOR US TO HAVE THIS MEETING ON PASSOVER BECAUSE THERE'S JUST THE PERCEPTION THAT WE'RE HAVING A MEETING ON A JEWISH HOLIDAY.

IS THAT A STATEMENT IN THE FORM OF A MOTION? I HOPE SO. I WOULD MOVE THAT.

THAT WE MOVE THE MEETING TILL WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8TH.

OK. THERE IS A MOTION THAT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED TO MOVE THE MEETING TO WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8TH. AND IS THERE A SECOND? BOARD MEMBER ZIADE.

[00:25:07]

AS SOON AS I SAW THE NAME, I JUST STARTED SWEATING.

YOU KNOW, I WAS LIKE, WHY DOES YOU HAVE TO BE SO FAST WITH THAT FINGER.

MAYOR Z.

OKAY. SO IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

LET US VOTE ON HAVING APRIL 8TH AS THE APRIL BOARD MEETING DATE.

SUN DOWN MCKINZIE AND BOARD MEMBER COLBOURNE.

OK. EVERYBODY HAS VOTED AND THE BOARD MEETING WILL BE ON THE WEDNESDAY IN APRIL.

IT'S 19 TO 2 NO'S.

I'M MOVING ONTO ACTION ITEM NUMBER 2, IT'S A MOTION TO ENDORSE THE BROWARD COMPLETE

[2. MOTION TO ENDORSE the Broward Complete Streets Guidelines 2.0]

STREETS GUIDELINES.

MR. GUTIERREZ. AS RICARDO COMES UP, I JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY YOU SAW THIS PRESENTATION LAST MONTH.

SO IF THERE'S MORE INFORMATION TO BE PRESENTED.

YEAH, ACTUALLY, WE DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WE PRESENT TO YOU LAST [INAUDIBLE] MEETING.

WE GOT GOOD COMMENTS FROM THE TAC AND CAC.

YOUR ENDORSEMENT WILL ALLOW US TO MAKE THIS DOCUMENT AVAILABLE TO OUR LOCAL PARTNERS TO USE. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE COMPLETE STREETS GUIDELINES TODAY. OKAY.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION BOARD MEMBER CARN.

YES. IS THERE A DELTA SOMEWHERE? THE COMMENTS THAT CAME AFTER OUR MEETING YOU WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AFTER YOUR MEETING.

I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAD WAS AN ADDITIONAL THE MAP THAT WERE IDENTIFIED WHAT CITIES WERE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING RELATED TO COMPLETE STREETS WAS UPDATED TO SHOW THAT THE CITY OF OAKLAND PARK WAS DOING SOME WORK AND ALSO THE COUNTY.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WAS CHANGED THINGS ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU. NO BUT. DID WE MENTIONED OAKLAND PARK HAS PUT SOME THINGS IN THE GROUND. YEAH, NO BUT YOU SAID WE MET WITH THE.

YEAH. I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT OF THAT MEETING.

IT WASN'T CLEAR.

NO, IT WAS AFTER THAT MEETING.

THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGED SINCE THAT LAST MEETING WAS THE MAP TO INCLUDE OAKLAND PARK.

OK. BOARD MEMBER UDINE.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

I SUPPORT THE COMPLETE STREETS PROGRAM IN CONCEPT, BUT I JUST WANT TO BRING UP SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP AT OUR COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING I GUESS LAST MEETING OR TWO MEETINGS AGO. I SUPPORT THIS CONCEPT.

I THINK MOST PEOPLE SUPPORT THIS CONCEPT.

THEY JUST DON'T INHERENT IN THIS SHOULD NOT BE LANE DIETS IN CERTAIN ROADS.

AND THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE, I THINK, STRAIGHTENED OUT AS FAR AS BY SUPPORTING THIS THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO DO THIS THERE'S A LANE DIET.

THE CONCEPT. OK.

AND I COMMISSIONER, I WANT TO BUILD OFF OF THAT, BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S GREAT CONFUSION IN THE WORLD WHAT A COMPLETE STREET IS VERSUS A ROAD DIET.

ROAD DIETS ARE ONLY APPROPRIATE IN AREAS THAT ACTUALLY WERE OVER-ENGINEERED FOR THE NEED.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY.

AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN THIS DOCUMENT.

SO, YOU KNOW, IN AREAS THAT THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ROAD DIETS, THOSE ARE ALWAYS VERY DIFFICULT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. BOARD MEMBER.

OH DID YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND? YEAH, I WANTED TO SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE DOCUMENTS THAT I THINK THE MPO HAS EVER DONE.

IT'S SO THOROUGHLY AND SO WELL DONE AND SO GRAPHICALLY.

EXCELLENT. I WANTED TO COMPLIMENT EVERYBODY THAT WORKED ON IT AND ASK, IS THIS A AVAILABLE HARD COPY OR IS IT ONLY INTERNET? RIGHT. ACTUALLY, IT'S GONNA BE AVAILABLE DIGITALLY, HARD COPIES.

AND ALSO WE'RE GONNA MAKE AVAILABLE AN AD VERSION THAT CAN BE EDITED.

SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THIS CAN TAKE THIS DOCUMENT AND ADJUST IT TO THEIR OWN NEEDS AND DESIRES. SO WE'LL BE AVAILABLE AS SOON AS HIS ENDORSEMENT IS DONE.

AND I THINK THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY IMPRESSED ME WAS THAT IT'S VERY COMPREHENSIVE. IT'S NOT FOCUSED ONLY ON WHAT A BIKE LANE LOOKS LIKE, BUT A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT PEOPLE INVOLVED IN PLANNING IN OUR MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT AS WELL. WOULD MAKE YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY.

SO, AGAIN. GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. YEAH.

PUSH-BUTTON. BY SHEER ORDERS.

I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH THE COMPLETE STREETS.

HOWEVER, I'M GETTING COMPLAINTS AND E-MAILS AND PICTURES SENT TO ME MOSTLY ON WEEKENDS WHERE BIKERS GO IN A MASS AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST BLOCKING TRAFFIC.

[00:30:02]

AND I TELL THEM NOTHING WE COULD DO AS A CITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF THE ROAD.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT COMMENT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? WELL, I'LL SAY THIS PART OF MY LOVE OF PLANNING AND THE PROCESS OF IT. THE ILLNESS THAT I AM AFFLICTED WITH.

I ACTUALLY ATTEND THE ANNUAL PLANNING CONFERENCE EVERY YEAR.

AND IT WAS ONLY ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WHEN I WENT TO A SESSION, THEY SAID WE'VE GOT A NEW CONCEPT CALLED COMPLETE STREETS AND WE'RE ON 2.0 AT THIS POINT. SO I THINK THAT WE'RE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF THE CURVE NATIONALLY, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. AND I THINK THAT I'M GOING TO ECHO THE COMMENTS OF THE VICE CHAIR AND FORMER CHAIR BLATTNER THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS WITH YOU AND YOUR TEAM.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM TO.

OK. IT'S BEEN A MOTION TO APPROVE BY HANS PROSKY AND SECONDED BY COBURN.

PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE OF THEM PUSH THE OTHER ONE'S BUTTON.

YES. OK.

LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY THAT'S PRESENT HAS VOTED.

IT'S APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY BY THE MEMBERS PRESENT AT THE DAIS.

[3. MOTION TO APPROVE Targets for the Federally Mandated Performance Measure Areas]

MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM ACTION, ITEM 3.

MOTION TO APPROVE TARGETS FOR THE FEDERALLY MANDATED PERFORMANCE MEASURE AREAS.

I WILL SAY BEFORE I HANDED OVER TO MR. FLOGGING THAT I KNOW THAT WHEN THESE FIRST SHOWED UP THAT WE'VE GOT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS.

EVERYBODY WAS. IT WAS VERY VAGUE.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE.

THEY DIDN'T TELL US IN A TIMELY MANNER.

BUT SINCE THAT TIME HAS HAPPENED AND SINCE OUR CERTIFICATION, WE ARE AN EXAMPLE IN THE NATION. SO, MR. FOBBING, IF YOU WANT TO BRAG ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION, IT'S YOUR TURN TO DO SO.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD LUCK.

12 MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

PAUL FLAVIN BROUGHT MPL STAFF TASKED WITH MAKING SURE THAT THE MPO IS COMPLY WITH ALL FEDERAL AND REQUIRED FORMANTS MEASURES.

WHAT THE CHAIR IS REFERRING TO IS DURING OUR CERTIFICATION WE ACTUALLY DEVELOPED A PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD THAT WE SHOW TO OUR FEDERAL FEDERAL AGENCIES EFFORTS W-WOULD FTA AND THEY WERE REALLY IMPRESSED WITH IT.

AND THEY ACTUALLY IN THEIR REPORT BACK, THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS A BEST PRACTICE.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE CHAIR WAS REFERRING TO.

SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP, SIR.

DID YOU WHAT? ANYTHING. ACTUALLY, NO.

I MEAN, OF COURSE WE'LL PLOW THROUGH THAT.

OKAY. WELL, PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

FROM ITS MEASURES WERE ENACTED IN AS FAR AS MAP 21.

I'M SORRY. I'LL JUST HOLD YOUR MICRO COULD GET TO.

RIGHT. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? OK. HOW ABOUT NOW? GOOD, NOW. OK. PERFORMANCE MEASURES WERE ENACTED BACK IN 2012 AS PART OF MAP 21 AND THEY WILL REINFORCE THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE FAST ACT IN 2015.

AND WHY ARE WE DOING PERFORMANCE MEASURES? ESSENTIALLY, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANTED TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE DOING MAKING EFFICIENT INVESTMENTS OF OUR TRANSPORTATION DOLLARS.

THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THINGS WERE TIED BACK TO THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION GOALS.

THEY WANTED ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY IN FRONT FEDERAL FUNDING OF PROJECTS, ROTATION PROJECTS. AND THEY WANTED TO IMPROVE DECISION MAKING AS FAR AS ALLOCATING THOSE DOLLARS TO THOSE OF PROJECTS.

AND SO WHAT ARE WE REQUIRED TO MEASURE? WELL, AS PART OF THE LAW, THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION WAS REQUIRED CAME UP WITH THREE RULE AREAS.

ESSENTIALLY, ONE WAS SAFETY.

THE OTHER ONE WAS BRIDGE AND PAVEMENT CONDITIONS.

AND THE THIRD ONE WAS SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.

NOW, WHAT THAT ENTAILS IS ESSENTIALLY YOUR TRAVEL TIME RELIABILITY, ITS LEVEL OF TRAVEL TIME ALLOWED PER PERFECT PER PERSON, AND ALSO TRAVEL TIME RELIABILITY FOR A TRUCK FOR FREIGHT VEHICLES. AND THE FOURTH AREA, FTL, WAS REQUIRED TO SET A RULE IN THE RULE THAT THIS SET WAS WHAT, TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT.

ESSENTIALLY, IT'S A STATE OF GOOD REPAIR PROGRAM, MAKING SURE THAT TRANSIT ASSETS ARE KEPT UP OR REPLACED ON A REGULAR AND TIMELY BASIS.

AND THESE ARE THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE AREAS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'LL NOTICE AND THAT'S ON THE THIRD COLUMN, I BELIEVE YOU'LL SEE WHERE THE ACTUAL REQUIRED ADOPTION DATES ARE.

THE WAY THIS WORKS IS THE STATE OF FLORIDA IS REQUIRED TO SET A TARGET FIRST AND THEN EMBRYOS TYPICALLY HAVE 180 DAYS TO FOLLOW SUIT.

WHAT THE MPO CAN DO IS CHOOSE TO SUPPORT THE STATE TARGETS OR SET ITS OWN.

AND MOST OF THE EMBRYOS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAVE CHOSEN TO SUPPORT THE STATE TARGETS, WHICH IS WHAT WE DID SPECIFICALLY ACTUALLY WITH ALL THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE TARGETS.

AGAIN, THIRD COLUMN, IF YOU NOTICE ALL THE DIFFERING TIMES FOR ADOPTION, WHAT ARE THE

[00:35:06]

THINGS THAT THIS MPO DID? YOU KNOW, ESSENTIALLY WE TRY TO RATIONALIZE THOSE DATES, RIGHT.

SO WE DECIDED WE MADE A DECISION IN CREDIT OUT THERE.

I MEAN, I'LL CREDIT I'LL SHARE IT.

ACTUALLY, OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THAT ESSENTIALLY NOVEMBER OF EVERY YEAR WOULD BE WHEN WE WOULD ADOPT PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE ACTUALLY SUGGESTED TO THE FEDS ALSO TO SORT OF MAKE THOSE DATES, RATIONALIZE THOSE DATES.

OK. AND SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE IS SAFETY AND THE TRANSIT AS ASSET MANAGEMENT TARGETS. THOSE ARE YEARLY TARGETS.

YOU DON'T YOU'LL SEE THOSE EVERY YEAR COMING BACK TO READAPT THOSE TARGETS.

THE OTHER SETS OF TARGETS, THE P.M.

2 AND THE P.M. 3, THOSE ARE FOUR YEAR TARGETS.

SO WE WON'T MISS YOU.

WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU IN TWENTY TWENTY TWO TO ACTUALLY READAPT THOSE TARGETS.

WHERE ARE WE IN SAFETY? YOU KNOW, WE'VE ADOPTED THE DIVISION ZERO TO BEGIN, ZERO TARGETS AS WHAT WE WANT TO DO IN BROWARD. IN THE LAST COLUMN, THERE JUST SHOWS YOU WERE MOST CURRENT DATA THAT WE HAVE ON UNSAFETY. NOW, THIS IS A FIVE YEAR AVERAGE ESSENTIALLY FROM 2013 TO 2017.

THE MOST RECENT DATA, WE'RE EXPECTING TO GET THAT FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA SOMETIME TOWARDS THE END OF THIS MONTH.

NOW, YOU MAY BE WONDERING, WHAT IS THE MPO IN THE STATE DOING TO ACTUALLY TRY TO MEET THE SAFETY TARGETS? SO I'LL JUMP DOWN REAL QUICK.

UP. WE TOOK A QUICK LOOK AT OUR LAST TIP, LAST TRANSITION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FROM LAST YEAR. WE HAD ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN MILLION DOLLARS TO DO SAFETY PROJECTS IN THE COUNTY WIDE. THIS CURRENT CHIP, WHICH CAME ACTIVE IN OCTOBER 1ST, WE HAVE 440 $2MILLION ALLOCATED IN SAFETY PROJECTS.

THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN FUNDS.

AND THE OTHER THING I NEED TO SAY IS YOU AS A BOARD, YOU DECIDED TO CREATE A PROGRAM FOR SAFETY AS PART OF THE 20:45 MTBE.

AND YOU'VE ALLOCATED 15 PERCENT OF THE MPLS FEDERAL FUNDS TO THAT PROGRAM.

SO IT'S A COMMITMENT THAT WE'RE MAKING TO TRY TO MEET THOSE OF PERFORMANCE TARGETS.

I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO SEE, BUT THESE ARE THE TRENDS THAT US ASSET MANAGEMENT TARGETS NOW FOR THIS TARGET. IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE WE HAVE ACTUALLY THREE TRANSIT AGENCIES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO SET TARGETS.

AND IN BROWARD, BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT, THE TRI RAIL AND ALSO THE FORT LAUDERDALE CMA.

SO ESSENTIALLY THE TARGETS WE ADOPTED LAST YEAR WERE ESSENTIALLY A COMPOSITE OF ALL THE TARGETS THAT THOSE THREE AGENCY SET.

AND AGAIN, THE NEXT THE LAST COLUMN, ALL THE TARGETS AND IN THE LAST COLUMN SHOWS YOU WHERE WE ARE AS FAR AS THOSE TARGETS.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS THE MOST CURRENT DATA THAT WE HAVE.

AND WE'RE EXPECTING ACTUALLY NEWER DATA TOWARDS THE END OF THIS MONTH TO UPDATE THIS.

AND IN ALL OF THIS WILL BE UPDATED AS PART OF OUR PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD, WHICH IS ON OUR MPO WEBSITE, WHICH I THINK AROUND THE FEBRUARY TIMEFRAME WILL COME BACK TO YOU IN DEMEL TO YOU AND SHOW YOU THAT DASHBOARD.

NOW, WHAT ARE WE DOING AS FAR AS OUR TRANSIT AT THIS ASSET MANAGEMENT TARGETS? WELL, AGAIN, LAST TIP, FOURTEEN POINT FIVE MILLION CURRENT CHIP, SEVEN HUNDRED AND NINETY ONE MILLION. NOW, I SHOULD MENTION THAT THESE INCLUDES THE MPLS FEDERAL FUNDS AS WELL AS STATE FUNDS AND OTHER FUNDS.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT JUST A MPO, IT'S ACTUALLY.

YEAH, ALL THE PARTNERS.

AND ALTHOUGH THESE TARGETS, AGAIN, WE WON'T BE ADOPTING THEM UNTIL 2022.

I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF WHERE WE'RE AT.

IF YOU COULD SEE FOR THE BASELINE IN 2017 AND THEN CURRENT DATA IN 2018, THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED AREAS ARE THE AREAS THAT WE'RE NOT CURRENTLY MEETING THAT TARGET, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE. WE ARE MEETING THE TARGETS.

AND AGAIN, A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF THE FUNDING THAT THE MPL, THE STATE AND OTHERS ARE ACTUALLY ALLOCATING TO ACTUALLY TRY TO MEET THOSE TARGETS.

SO AND WITH THAT, I THINK I'VE DONE A LOT TO SAY TO ANY QUESTIONS.

WE DO HAVE SOME I'VE BY MARIA BLATTNER.

THANK YOU, PAUL. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST AN AGENCY THAT IS RECORDING STATISTICS PROVIDED BY OTHERS, THAT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE MONEY.

SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY MILLION DOLLARS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AND SO ON, THAT THESE TARGETS ARE ARE BUILT INTO THE AWARD OF CONTRACTS TO PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE PERFORMING THAT WORK.

AND BECAUSE THEY PERFORM THE WORK, WE'RE ASSUMING THAT THEY MET THE TARGET FOR THAT WORK.

HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU EVALUATE THAT? AND IF I'VE NOT CHARACTERIZED IT PROPERLY, CURTLY, TO BE COMPLETELY TRUTHFUL.

CURRENTLY THERE ARE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, HAS IT SET ANY PENALTIES FOR ACTUALLY NOT

[00:40:06]

MEETING THE TARGETS? DISCLOSURE, FULL DISCLOSURE.

THEY HAVE NOT SET ANY PENALTIES YET.

BUT BUT BUT AGAIN, TO ME, TO ACTUALLY SHOW YOU TO SET A TARGET AND ACTUALLY NOT NEEDED AT A CONTINUAL BASIS. I MEAN, THAT'S ALMOST SORT OF FAILURE.

SO WHERE INSTEAD ACTUALLY INCENTIVIZE SPECIFICALLY WITH THE SAFETY.

RIGHT. WERE INCENTIVIZED TO ACTUALLY DO THAT BECAUSE WE WE VALUE EVERY LIFE AND MAKE SURE THAT THIS STATE, THE STATE OF FLORIDA, IN BAR COUNTY IN PARTICULAR, YOU KNOW, SAFETY IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY, THAT WE DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO ACTUALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE SAVE AS MANY LIVES AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

AND I WANT TO ADD ON THAT.

I WAS UP IN TALLAHASSEE LAST MONDAY HAVING THIS DISCUSSION WITH CENTRAL OFFICE, THE CENTRAL OFFICE TEAM ON PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

AND THEN WHAT IS IT THAT THEY'RE GONNA BUILD INTO CONTRACTUAL MECHANISMS? PERFORMANCE MEASURES ARE RELATIVELY NEW.

WHILE THEY WERE SHOWN IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE TRANSPORTATION AUTHORIZATION BILLS, THIS IS THE FIRST SEVERAL YEARS THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY BEGINNING TO SHOW UP IN DOCUMENTATION IN OUR G.O.P.'S AND SO FORTH. AND SO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS WORKING WITH THEIR MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOLKS TO DEAL WITH WAYS TO INCORPORATE THOSE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS INTO THEIR CONTRACTING.

ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THEN WE'LL BE IN CONTACT WITH BROWARD COUNTY.

WE'LL BE IN CONTACT WITH US SO FAR.

AND THEN THAT WILL START PERCOLATING DOWN.

HEY, BOARD MEMBER KHAN. YES.

THANK YOU. RELATIVELY NEW TO MPO.

SO I WANT TO UNDERSTAND MY RESPONSIBILITY IF I HAVE ANY.

AS A BOARD MEMBER HERE, WHEN I READ ON YOUR SCREEN THAT FACILITIES ARE 15 PERCENT, UH, BELOW RATED CONDITION ON YOUR.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT PAGE THIS IS.

I'M OFF OF YOUR SCREEN.

THIS IS JUST THIS ONE.

NO, IT'S IT'S FURTHER UP.

IT'S AT THE BOTTOM END. OH.

WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT TO ADDRESS THIS? HOW DOES IT GET ADDRESSED TO THIS IS RESPONSIBILITY PRIMARILY FALLS UPON THE TRANSIT AGENCIES. THESE ARE THE TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT TARGETS.

BUT MPO ALSO PROVIDES FUNDING TO THESE AGENCIES AS WELL TO BE ABLE TO TRY TO MEET THOSE TARGETS. ESSENTIALLY, WHAT THIS IS, IS MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF THEIR ASSETS, THEIR ROLLING STOCK, THEIR EQUIPMENT, THEIR BUILDINGS ARE MAINTAINED IN A PROPER MANNER.

SO I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT OK, SO AN ASSET COMES ON THE RADAR THAT IT'S BELOW HOW MUCH TIME IS IS IS GRANTED TO RESOLVE OR BRING IT UP TO STANDARD? IT DID GET TO GO BACK TO THE ANSWER THAT I GAVE COMMISSIONER BLATTNER.

CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NO PENALTIES PER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR NOT MEETING THOSE TARGETS. BUT AGAIN, IT'S RELATIVELY NEW.

WE STARTED DOING THIS ESSENTIALLY LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME.

SO THAT, UM. I'M ASSUMING THAT WILL CHANGE WHERE IF AN AGENCY IS CONTINUALLY NOT MEETING TARGETS, THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME SORT OF, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE TALKING TO AN ENGINEER AND YOU USE THE WRONG WORD.

YOU SAID ASSUMED, I DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.

SO AND SO HOW DO WE WHEN ARE WE GOING TO START ADDING TEETH? SO THE DATA THAT'S BEING PROVIDED AND THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST FEAR FACTORS THAT ACTUALLY MOST OF THE STATE D.A.'S IN PASHTO AND ALL THE REST OF OUR FOUR OTHER PARTNERS ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT.

BECAUSE WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES ITS REAUTHORIZATION BILL AND WE START SEEING THAT AGENCIES ARE FALLING FURTHER AND FURTHER BEHIND, THEN THERE IS THE POTENTIAL CARROT AND STICK OR THERE IS ALSO JUST THE STICK.

AND SO WE'RE WATCHING THIS VERY CLOSELY.

THAT'S WHY I MEAN, OUR LOBBYING TEAM OR EXCUSE ME, OUR ADVOCACY TEAM IN WASHINGTON IS GOING TO PRESENT IN A LITTLE BIT.

THAT CAN BE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM, BECAUSE WE ARE WATCHING WHAT'S HAPPENING UP IN WASHINGTON TO ENSURE THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY FALLS BEHIND DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEIR FUNDING GETS SLASHED OR BURNED OR INCREASED UP AGAINST SOMEBODY AND IT ISN'T TAKING CARE OF THE SYSTEM. YOU KNOW, WE IN FLORIDA DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF MAINTAINING OUR FEDERAL AND STATE ROADS AND PAVEMENT CONDITIONS, WHICH IS THE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS A PERFORMANCE STANDARD. BUT PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YORK AND I'M SORRY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FROM THERE, I CAN CAUSE CLAIM PENNSYLVANIA AS A PLACE.

AND THEY AREN'T MAINTAINING THE ROADWAYS.

WE ARE EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE GETTING THEIR FEDERAL SHARES.

SO IT'S A MATTER OF, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT PENALIZED FOR DOING A GOOD JOB, JUST LIKE WE DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD BE PENALIZED AS WELL

[00:45:01]

WHEN THEY'RE NOT DOING A GREAT JOB OF MAINTAINING.

AND I WASN'T SPEAKING PURELY IN A PUNITIVE SENSE, BECAUSE YOU DID SAY THAT OUR INCENTIVE IS THAT WE CARE. AND SO FROM THAT PARTNERSHIP PERSPECTIVE IS WHERE I'M CONCERNED WE HAVE MONEY. I THINK YOU SAID TO HELP.

SO HOW DO WE DRAW THESE PEOPLE, NOT THESE PEOPLE.

HOW DO WE DRAW THESE AGENCIES TO THE TABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION BEFORE WE HAVE TO PUT A BALLOON UP TO WASHINGTON, D.C.? WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT LOCALLY.

BUT I'LL SAY THIS.

THE GOOD NEWS IS ACTUALLY OUR PARTNERS DO A VERY GOOD JOB OF ACTUALLY MAINTAINING THEIR AND THEIR ASSETS AND THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO THEY ARE ON MY LIST.

I DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE DOING NOT A GOOD JOB.

BUT WHAT HOW DO WE JUST WE MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LOSE TRACK OF SOMETHING, THAT IT GETS PUT INTO A CONE OF CARE AND THAT OF CONCERN AND THAT WE FOLLOW IT THROUGH EVEN IF WE DO IT LOCALLY OURSELVES.

I WOULD BE WILLING TO.

AND THE GOOD NEWS IS, AGAIN, THEY'RE REQUIRED ON A YEARLY BASIS TO DO, YOU KNOW, TO INVENTORY THE ASSETS, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU SEE THE USEFUL LIFE BENCHMARK, TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT.

I GET ON A SCALE EVERY YEAR AND I'M SO.

AND THEN THEY AND THEY'RE REQUIRED ACTUALLY THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE ESSENTIALLY A FINANCIAL PLAN TO SHOW HOW THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO MEET THOSE THINGS.

BUT WHAT WE'RE ENCOURAGING IS BRING IT TO CLOSURE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M INTERESTED IN THE PROCESS.

I WON'T BELABOR THE POINT, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH THAT.

ABSOLUTELY. I THINK WE CAN DO THAT.

WE ARE GROWN UPS. WE CAN DO THAT OURSELVES IN A GOOD BIG AND GOOD NEWS AS WE ARE IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION WITH OUR PARTNERS.

IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THAT, THEY KEEP SHOWING UP ON THE SCALE.

WELL, JUST ONE PIECE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR YOUR BOARD MEMBER.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION IS THE TREND.

SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE NOT MAKING THE DESIRED CHECKPOINT, IF THEY SEE YOU'RE MAKING PROGRESS IN THAT AREA, THEY TEND TO BE SATISFIED WITH THAT.

LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW, WE WERE SECOND IN THE NATION FOR THE NUMBER OF PEDESTRIAN KILLS. AND THEN WE MOVED TO FOUR AND THEN SEVEN, NINE.

SO WE WE STILL HAVE TOO MANY.

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT WE HAVE TOO MANY NOW.

BUT THE TREND HAS BEEN POSITIVE AND IN THE REDUCTION.

SO IT'S LONG AS OUR PROVIDERS ARE MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF CORRECTION.

THEY ARE, IN A SENSE, MEETING THEIR GOALS AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL.

MR. TURNER, I AGREE WITH YOU.

AND I ALWAYS APPLAUD PROGRESS.

BUT I JUST THINK THAT WITH THE INTELLIGENCE AND THE THE KUDOS THAT WE GET AS AN ORGANIZATION, WE CAN DO BETTER.

I JUST THINK WE CAN PLAN IS WE CAN DO IT.

I AGREE. AND I THINK YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED.

IT. IS THERE ANY OTHER CONVERSATION BEFORE DECIDING GETS MOOT? I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE ACTION.

ITEM 3. I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, PEOPLE.

YOU GET THEM.

EVERYBODY'S HOLDING OFF FOR ONE PERSON TO PUSH THE BUTTON.

AND I'M JUST SAYING, THAT'S ALL ON THE SCREEN THERE.

OK. IT HAS BEEN MOVED BY BOARD MEMBER SO FILLED AND SECONDED BY AIDE.

OH, NEVER COMING.

I'M GOING TO DO THIS TO HIM.

SEE, THIS IS WHY SHE'S SITTING TO THE LEFT OF ME.

I NEED HER. IT'S NOT ME.

OK. HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

PLEASE VOTE. NEVER PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN.

I WON'T NEED THAT ANYMORE. OK.

IT HAS BEEN UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.

TWENTY TWO TO ZERO.

SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE VERY BEGINNING NOW THAT THE CONSENT AND THE ACTION AGENDAS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

THE FIRST THING THAT WE MISSED WAS PUBLIC COMMENTS.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK TO THE BOARD AS LONG AS IT'S NOT ON ANY ITEM THAT'S ON THE AGENDA.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, MISS THOMAS IS BACK THERE.

SHE HAS HER SPEAK CARDS READ, FELL OUT.

NOBODY IS RUNNING IN YOUR DIRECTION.

SO I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

NEXT UP IS COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR.

[7. Comments from the Chair]

I DID WANT TO SAY THAT AT THE LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM DISTRICT SECRETARY O'RILEY AND OTHERS ABOUT THE CERTIFICATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED WITH NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS.

AND THAT WAS GOOD TO SEE.

SO THE CLOCK IS NOW TICKING FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS.

I KNOW THAT. THEN CHAIR AND THEN DEPUTY VICE CHAIR AND NOW THE VICE CHAIR.

[00:50:04]

AUTISTS AND I, WE ACTUALLY ATTENDED THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS OVER A TWO DAY PERIOD HERE.

AND IF ANYBODY ELSE IS HERE AND I FORGOT TO MENTION MY APOLOGIZE, BUT IT WAS GREAT.

I ALSO ATTENDED THE MPO CONFERENCE, WHICH IS THE AMERICAN MPOS, AND WE HAD TWO STAFF EMPLOYEES THAT GAVE A SEMINAR.

ONE WAS PETER GUIS AND THE OTHER ONE ERICA, LIKE JACK.

AND THEY BOTH DID A GREAT JOB.

THE ONE THING THAT REALLY EXCITED ME WOULD ONE PETER GAVE HIS SEMINAR WAS THAT THERE WERE LOT THERE WERE A PANEL OF MORE THAN JUST HIM.

THERE WERE OTHERS. BUT IT WAS HIS PRESENTATION THAT REALLY SPURRED A LOT OF QUESTIONS, WHICH I THINK IS A GOOD THING.

AND THE OTHER THING WAS EVERYBODY THAT WENT TO ERICA LIKE CHECKS SEMINAR, THEY WERE AMAZED THAT WE WERE OFFERING SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS FOR FREE, THAT YOU COULD JUST GO TO OUR WEB SITE AND USE IT.

AND THEY WERE JUST AMAZED OR LIKE, YOU'RE SURE THAT THIS IS FREE? AND IT'S LIKE, YES, IT IS.

SO THEY BOTH DID A GREAT JOB.

I DID WANT TO RECOGNIZE ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS WHO'S IN TAMPA RIGHT NOW.

BUT CONNOR OF BOSSO HAS RETURNED.

HE LEFT US FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS SO HE COULD GET MARRIED IN EUROPE.

SO WE HAVE A NEWLY MARRIED STAFF MEMBER CAN ACCOMPLISH ALSO.

AND I HAVE A HISTORY LIKE LAST MEETING.

I CONGRATULATED MRS. WARRING ON HER BIRTHDAY AND SHE WASN'T HERE IN ECONONAUT HERE.

SO CONGRATULATIONS. I ONLY GUESS RECOGNIZED PEOPLE THAT AREN'T HERE.

AND FINALLY, AS CHAIR, I HAVE TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS TO OUR STATE AND AND LOCAL BOARDS.

AND SO I WANTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT VERY KINDLY.

CHRISTOPHER HAS AGREED TO TAKE ON THE SETH TECH AS THE APPOINTMENT.

THAT'S THE SOUTHEAST FLORIDA TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL.

I'M CURRENTLY CHAIR, BUT THE NEXT MEETING IN JANUARY, YOU'LL BE TAKING OVER AND DEPUTY VICE CHAIR GOOD HAS THANKFULLY AGREED TO BE THE ALTERNATE FOR THAT BOARD.

I AM THE VICE CHAIR OF THE STATE MPO, SO I'M APPOINTING MYSELF TO THAT.

AND THE ALTERNATE TO THAT BOARD MEMBER OF JOHNSON HAS GRACEFULLY ACCEPTED TO BE THE ALTERNATE FOR THAT. AND SO I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY STEPPING UP TO THAT.

I THINK YOU'LL REALLY ENJOY IT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A TRI COUNTY BOARD.

AND AND THIS MAY BE THE FIRST TIME THAT A COUNTY COMMISSIONER HAS BEEN REPRESENTING BROWARD, IS THAT CORRECT? I DON'T RECALL.

YEAH. DURING MY TENURE IN THE TWELVE YEARS, NO, THAT HASN'T HAPPENED, BUT WE HAD ENCOURAGED IT BEFORE. BUT THAT'S FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING.

SO, YEAH. AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GONNA DO A GREAT JOB.

SOMEHOW YOU'RE ON THE GARBAGE MEETING AND I'M YOUR REPRESENTATIVE ALSO AND WE'RE MEETING NEXT WEEK. I WANTED TO GIVE SOMEONE MY TIME TO BOARD MEMBER.

[A. Comments Regarding FDOT Work Program]

JAFFE AS YOU WILL SEE ON THE DAY, YES.

YOU HAVE A RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE CITY OF WESTERN.

AND IF YOU'LL PUSH YOUR REQUEST TO SPEAK BOARD MEMBER, I WILL RECOGNIZE YOU.

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THIS DISCUSSION AND THIS RESOLUTION IS ABOUT THE PARK AND RIDE I-75 EXPRESS PARK RIDES THAT HAVE BEEN ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN.

WE'VE DISCUSSED HERE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

AND BACK ON NOVEMBER 4TH, THE CITY OF WESTERN COMMISSIONED BY A VOTE OF 4 TO 1, WE VOTED A RESOLUTION TO FORMALLY OPPOSE WITH THE F.D.A.

THE PARK AND RIDE LOCATION AND I-75 AND ROYAL PALM BOULEVARD.

THE COMMUNITY AT THIS TIME, I EXPLAINED TO THE COMMUNITY THAT, YOU KNOW, THE F.D.A.

AND I-75 EXPRESS CARD ARE THAT WE UTILIZE DRAMATICALLY ALL THE TIME OUT.

THERE HAS BEEN A REALLY GOOD PROJECT FOR OUR COMMUNITY WITH THE EXPRESS LANES AND MANY RESIDENTS UTILIZE THE I-75 EXPRESS MANAGED LANES.

BUT AT THIS TIME, THE DATA DOESN'T REALLY SUPPORT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE STUDIES THAT THERE WOULD BE A USE FOR AN EXPRESS BUS PARK AND RIDE LOCATED RIGHT AT THE FINANCIAL SIDE OF THE CITY OF WESTON. AND THE LOCATION IS JUST NOT WE DON'T FEEL IT'S THE BEST LOCATION FOR US FOR THE I-75 EXPRESS BUS SERVICE RIGHT NOW DUE TO THE PROXIMITY.

IT'S RIGHT AT OUR FRONT DOOR.

THE LOCATION IS THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IS PART OF A LAKE AREA THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE FILLED IN. ADDITIONALLY, THE COMMUNITY SIGNED A PETITION THAT WITH OVER A 1000 RESIDENTS OPPOSING THE LOCATION THERE AT THE PARK ARRIVED.

AND ONE OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS, WHEN I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS BACK A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERE THEY I HAVE THE DESIGN BUILD REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR THE I-75 EXPRESS LANE SEGMENT E NORTH OF GRIFFIN ROAD TO I-5.

NINETY FIVE BROWARD COUNTY. THIS IS BACK IN 2013 WHEN THEY WERE BIDDING OUT FOR THE EXPRESS LANES AND IT'S AN EIGHTY SEVEN PAGE DOCUMENT.

AND THEN THERE OUT OF THE ENTIRE EIGHTY SEVEN PAGES, ALTHOUGH IT'S A IT'S NOTED ABOUT THE EXPRESS LANE. ALL IT SAYS IS EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO FACILITATE AN I-75 EXPRESS BUS SERVICE WITHIN THE MANAGED LANES SYSTEM IF POSSIBLE.

[00:55:02]

SO THIS WAS A RESOLUTION THAT WAS PASSED ON NOVEMBER 4TH FROM OUR COMMUNITY WERE FORMALLY OPPOSING IT. AND I'M ALSO ASKING MY COLLEAGUES HERE TODAY, WHEN WE DO FUND THE AND APPROVE THE VIP PLAN FOR THE FIVE YEAR NEXT FIVE YEARS, THAT WE REMOVE THE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING FOR THAT PROJECT IN FISCAL YEAR 2021.

AND MAYBE SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE WHEN THE DEMAND IS THERE FOR A PARK OR RIDE LOCATION.

RIGHT. AND W THEN WE WILL LOOK AT IT.

BUT WE'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT OUT IN THE FUTURE AND REMOVE THE FUNDING FOR FISCAL YEAR TWENTY TWENTY ONE NEXT YEAR WHEN WE DO THE T.A.R.P.

PLAN. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU.

AND COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE FOR.

THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND.

I APPRECIATE COMMISSIONER JEFF IS BRINGING THIS UP.

BUT I DO THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE LOOK AT AN OVERALL PLAN FOR THIS COUNTY.

THE PULL OF THE ONE, THE PLACES WHERE YOU'RE ACTUALLY SEEING INCREASED BUS SERVICE IS ON THE EXPRESS LANES. THAT'S YOU'RE SEEING REDUCED, UNFORTUNATELY.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL WE'RE ADDING MORE BUSES.

BUT THIS IS ONE PLACE WHERE YOU'RE ACTUALLY STARTING TO SEE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY INCREASE ON THE EXPRESS LANES.

AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS FIGURE OUT IF THAT YOU'RE SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO TAKE THIS. THEY'RE SEEING IT BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE THE EXPRESS LANES, IT'S CHEAPER.

THE BUSES ARE NOW ALL HAVE WI-FI.

THEY'VE GOT LIBRARY. THEY'VE GOT ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO, YOU KNOW, STARTING TO RECOGNIZE THIS IS ACTUALLY AN EASY WAY TO TRAVEL, GIVEN THE FACT THAT THERE'S NOT REAL ANYWHERE. BUT IF IF YOU KNOW, IF I THINK WHAT WE NEED IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT. OK.

WHEREAS IT MAKES SENSE FOR THESE THINGS TO BE RATHER THAN JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME CITIES DON'T HAVE IT. WE'VE ALREADY WE'VE WE'VE WE PROPOSE TO OTHER PLACES AND CITY BY CITY SAY, WE DON'T WANT THIS, WE DON'T WANT THIS, WE DON'T WANT THIS.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE.

THEY NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU ARE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE.

WE ARE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE ON THE BUSES.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO TAKE MASS TRANSIT.

THIS HAT, WE WE NEED A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK.

AND I THINK THE MPO SHOULD SHOULD BE HELPING ON THIS.

I KNOW THE COUNTY IS ALREADY KIND OF TRYING TO GIVE, YOU KNOW, GIVE POTENTIAL SITES, BUT WE NEED WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AS A WHOLE, BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT'S JUST GOING TO GET PICKED RIGHT OFF. AND SUDDENLY YOU DON'T HAVE A BUNCH OF PARKING RIGHTS.

SO I WOULD I YOU KNOW, I WOULD FOR NOT TO VOTE AGAINST THIS.

I MEAN, I MEAN, NOT TO VOTE THAT THIS COULD NOT GET PUT ON AND HAVE AT LEAST BE CONSIDERED FOR ONE, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ALTERNATIVES ARE OVER THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S IT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO SAY, OK.

BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO GO THERE.

WHERE IS IT GOING TO GO? YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ALTERNATIVES ARE.

BANK BOARD MEMBER SNOWFIELD.

WELL, WE'RE IN A WAY. I AGREE.

I KNOW DO WE HAVE ONE IN OUR CITY TO KEEP ALL OF MAGELLANIC CENTERED, BUT IT'S DONE DIFFERENT NOW. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHEN I GO PAST BY THERE, I PASS BY THAT PARKING PARKING LOT DURING A DAY OR IN A WEEK.

IT'S FULL. YEAH. WE'VE ADDED EXTRA BUS.

IT IS PACKED FULL AND EVEN TOOK OFF A BUS RIDE GOING FROM THERE TO FORT LAUDERDALE FEW YEARS AGO THAT WE OBJECTED TO.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S UNFORTUNATE.

BUT IT WELL, NOT UNFORTUNATELY.

BUT IT'S WE'RE ACTUALLY LUCKY THAT PEOPLE WANT TO GET OUT OF THE CARS AND GET ON THESE THINGS TO GO DOWN TO WHEREVER THEY'RE GOING TO SEE THESE BUSES GO.

THEY HAVE. I AGREE. THEY HAVE TO GO SOMEPLACE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT. SO I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY CITY.

THEY'RE WORKING OUT VERY WELL FOR OUR CITY.

AND THAT'S WHAT I CAN TELL YOU. MY RESIDENTS USE THEM.

THEY JUST PARK OVER THERE.

THEY DRIVE LIKE A MILE.

AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING DOWN TO MIAMI AND.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE BBT CENTER PROPERTY, WITH WHATEVER GOES ON OF THE PANTHERS. WE KNOW THAT'S COMING UP IN LATE, LATE 2020S.

THE COUNTY HAS POSSIBLE PLANS FOR DOING SOMETHING WITH THAT LAND.

I HOPE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO INCLUDE KEEPING OUT THERE, BUT THAT MAY FALL UNDER THE ACT, TOO. POSSIBLY. WE DON'T KNOW.

SO, UM, THESE HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE AND THEY HAVE TO BE NEAR WHERE THE BUSES GO ON UP ON THE ON THESE LANES. I KNOW.

I THINK A FEW YEARS AGO IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ON GRIFFIN IN TWENTY FIVE, I BELIEVE, AND THAT GOT CANCELLED. SO, UM, WE WE DO NEED TO HAVE SOME ALTERNATE SITES AND SOME SITES IDENTIFIED THAT ARE GONNA BE LOCKED IN BECAUSE WE'RE MAKING THESE PLANS FOR THESE PARKING LOTS. THESE PARKER RIDES.

AND THEN CITY COMES ALONG AND SAYS THEY DON'T WANT IT.

I UNDERSTAND. I GET IT. I'M NOT PICKING.

[01:00:01]

I. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IT.

BUT THEY'VE GOT TO GO SOMEPLACE.

AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT FROM MY CITY THERE BEING A BENEFIT.

AND I KNOW THAT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING NEAR YOUR CITY, IT WOULD BE A BENEFIT TO YOU.

MAYBE IT'S JUST SOMETHING. HAPPY PLACE, BUT DEFINITELY.

OR BLOCKED OR SOMETHING OR BUILT.

DESIGNED A BIT BETTER TO TO TO COEXIST WITH YOUR CITY.

POSSIBLY. MAYBE YOU CAN TALK WITH ME ABOUT THAT OR THAT CAN BE A POSSIBILITY.

SO THEY DO WORK.

THEY ARE NEEDED AND THEY ARE USED.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

I SEE THAT WE MIGHT BE GOING UNDERGROUND TOO, SO I'LL PUT MY INPUT IN AT THIS TIME BEFORE WE CALL THE NEXT SPEAKER.

AND IDEALLY.

YOU USE A VALID REASON FOR PARKING, RIGHT? UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.

THERE IS AN UNDERLYING REASON WHY FDA WANTS TO PUT A PERKIN RIGHT IN CERTAIN AREA AND IT'S NOT BASED ON RIDERSHIP.

IT CAN BE BASED ON WE ALREADY OWN THE FREE LAND, SO IT'LL BE LESS EXPENSIVE FOR US.

JUST SHUT UP AND TAKE IT.

AND THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS A PLANNING ORGANIZATION.

WE USE THE DATA TO DETERMINE OUR DECISIONS.

AND IN FACT, UNDER THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE MPO, THE MPO IS MADE UP OF LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS BECAUSE IT WAS THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW YOUR IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY BETTER THAN SOMEBODY THAT WOULD BE A STATE REPRESENTATIVE OR HIRE.

AND IN SOME CASES, IT MAKES SENSE.

LIKE YOU HAVE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PARK RIGHT IN SUNRISE.

DAVEY ACTUALLY HAS THE SECOND MOST SUCCESSFUL RIGHT THERE ON DAVEY ROAD AND STATE ROAD 84. THEY JUST ADDED CAPACITY BECAUSE IT WAS SO SUCCESSFUL AND THAT WAS THE RIGHT PLACE.

THERE'S A LOT OF DENSITY IN DAVEY.

DAVEY HAS LOWER DENSITY IN GENERAL.

BUT IF WE HAD DENSITY, THAT'S THE AREA WHERE IT IS LOCATED BY.

AND IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

YOU KNOW, THE ONE AT GRIFFIN, THE ACTUAL RIDERSHIP STUDIES THEMSELVES SHOWED THAT THE RIDERSHIP WOULD COME OUT FROM MORE THAN 5 MILES AWAY AND THAT THE USAGE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA WOULD BE 0.1 PERCENT. SO YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES SAY THAT.

WAIT A SECOND. NOBODY IN OUR COMMUNITY IS USING IT, BUT YOU'RE DOING IT JUST BECAUSE IT'S FREE LAND. AND THAT'S NOT A VALID ARGUMENT, IN MY OPINION.

THIS BOARD HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF SUPPORTING THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES WISHES.

I KNOW IT'S NOT UNANIMOUS.

I KNOW OURS WAS UNANIMOUS.

AND SOUTHWEST RANCHES, IT WAS UNANIMOUS.

IT MAY NOT BE UNANIMOUS, BUT YOU GO WITH THE MAJORITY.

AND THAT'S THAT'S THE WAY THAT WE HAVE OPERATED AS GOVERNMENT.

SO I LOOK AT IT AS EVERY PARK AND RIDE.

YES, WE NEED THEM, BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM ON A CASE TO CASE BASIS.

AND WHAT THE BOARD MEMBER IS SAYING IS THAT I WANT THIS TO BE PULLED OUT IN THE FUTURE AND WE'LL HAVE A CONVERSATION WHEN THE TPP IS APPROVED AND WE'LL EITHER REMOVE IT OR WE WANT BASED ON A MAJORITY OF THIS BOARD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WHO HAS THE COMMENT.

YEAH. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

AND MEMBERS, I DO WANT TO LET YOU KNOW I HAD A VERY LONG CONVERSATION WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ON THIS VERY ISSUE.

AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE T.A.R.P.

TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT REMOVING THE CONSTRUCTION DOLLARS, THE DESIGN DOLLARS YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING. SO THEY CAN GO THROUGH THEIR DESIGN PROCESS.

HOWEVER, OUR CONVERSATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND THEN IT WILL BE WITH BCT, WHO WILL BE THE OPERATOR IS GOING TO BE WE NEED TO COME BACK TO THIS BOARD AND START EXPLAINING THE PROCESS. AND I THINK COMMISSIONER FERR HIT THAT RIGHT OUT OF THE BALLPARK, THAT MASTER PLANNING OF WHY THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING AND WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND WHEN THESE TIMES ARE NECESSARY.

AND THEN THE ISSUE OF LAND, THAT IS ONE OF THE MAJOR THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.

THERE WAS A. THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION THAT THE D.O.T.

HAD IDENTIFIED.

AND THERE WAS A NEED FROM THAT LOCATION.

IT WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH OF SUNRISE, JUST SOUTH OF 595.

SO I'M GOING TO BE BRINGING BACK THE D.O.T.

STAFF TO MAKE PRESENTATIONS TO THIS BOARD, WILL HAVE WORKSHOPS ON IT.

SO THAT WAY YOU KIND OF SEE A BIGGER PICTURE OF WHERE THIS MAY GO IN THE FUTURE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WHAT THE ACHIEVEMENT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO WITH REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES ON THE ROADWAY.

BUT I MEAN, IT ALL STARTS WITH ONE STEP.

AND I THINK THAT WE'VE FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS, WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD A DIALOGUE GOING ON ON WHAT A TRANSIT SYSTEM WOULD LOOK LIKE, BECAUSE WE WERE VERY BUSY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MONIES OVER TO OUR PARTNERS, WHICH THE VOTERS FINALLY DID.

SO IF YOU GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY PRIOR TO THE T.A.R.P.

APPROVAL PROCESS, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS EDUCATION THAT COMES IN.

AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE, THAT'S FINE.

I MEAN, AND WE'LL GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

BUT THERE IS AT LEAST THERE WILL BE PROVIDED FEEDBACK.

AND I WILL SAY THIS, THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE CITY OF WESTERN AND THE TOWN OF DAVIE,

[01:05:03]

WELL, WE HAVE A DISAGREEMENT OVER THE SIGNAL NATION IMPROVEMENTS OVER ON 75 AND GRIFFIN.

AND EVEN THOUGH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT DOLLARS ARE IN THE FIFTH YEAR, YOU KNOW, I APPROVED THE MPO AND MY COMMUNITY STILL APPROVED THE TWO STUDIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE DONE AND FUNDED BEFOREHAND.

SO WHEN THAT TIME COMES, THAT DECISION CAN BE MADE WITH ALL OF THE KNOWLEDGE THAT'S NECESSARY TO MAKE THAT DECISION.

AND YOU ARE NEXT IN LINE.

BUT IN ORDER TO BE FAIR, I'M GOING TO CALL ON PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SPOKEN FIRST, FORMER CHAIR BLATTNER. IT'S REALLY HARD TO NOT HONOR THE REQUEST OF A COMMUNITY OR TO SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO.

BUT I'M NOT SURE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES I WOULD.

I'VE NOT SEEN THE RIDERSHIP STUDIES THAT WOULD PROVE THAT THERE IS A OR NEED OR NOT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MAKES ITS CASE, BUT WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE CASE FOR THIS.

THINGS DO CHANGE. I KNOW A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE GOT RESOLUTIONS FROM A COUPLE OF OUR MEMBER COMMUNITIES THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES THEY WANT TO DO ANY KIND OF A RAIL SYSTEM RUNNING DOWN THEIR ROADS, EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T HAVE A PLAN TO RUN ANY MORE RAIL SYSTEMS DOWN THOSE ROADS. NOR DO WE KNOW IF WE EVER DID HAVE A PLAN, WHAT KIND OF RAIL SYSTEM, WHAT WOULD BE. AND GIVEN WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY, OUR CHOICES ARE VERY LIMITED ANYWAY.

BUT I THINK I'D LIKE TO.

I HATE TO SEE THIS DIE BECAUSE THERE IS A NEED.

AND OUR JOB IS SOMETIMES TO TAKE OFF OUR CITY HATS AND PUT OUR COUNTY HATS IN OUR REGIONAL HATS AND SAY, I GET IT, BUT MAYBE WE JUST HAVE TO SWALLOW AND DO IT.

I'M NOT AT THIS POINT.

I'M NOT WILLING TO VOTE FOR THE RESOLUTIONS PROVIDED BY WESTERN.

AND I ALMOST WISH THAT WE WOULD DEFER ACTION ON THIS PENDING A PRESENTATION BY THE DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION ON THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS.

AND I WOULD MOVE TO DEFER.

WE'RE NOT JUST ON A SERVER, WE'RE JUST HAVING THE DISCUSSION.

WELL, IF WE'RE JUST HAVING A DISCUSSION, THEN WHY WOULD BE IF A MOTION TO DEFER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, THEN A VOTE ON THIS WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE? NO, WE'RE NOT VOTING ON THIS OR NOT UNTIL.

WELL, WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN ASKED TO VOTE ON THIS BY THE CITY OF WESTED AND BY THEIR REPRESENTATIVE.

AND I'M SAYING THAT I DON'T WANT TO VOTE ON THIS.

I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER THIS PENDING A PRESENTATION BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

SO IF THE CITY OF WESTERN MEMBER JAFFE, IF YOU'RE ASKING US TO VOTE ON THIS TODAY, I WOULD VOTE NO.

SIMPLY BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO DEFER THE ACTION.

YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. IF YOU PUSH YOUR BUTTON AND I CAN.

MR. CHAIRMAN, POINT OF ORDER IS I DON'T BELIEVE WESTERN IS ASKING US TO VOTE TODAY.

THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. SO I WOULD SAY THAT WE'RE NOT VOTING TODAY.

IT'S JUNE 2ND, I BELIEVE.

AND SO WE'LL GO ON.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT POINT, OK? YES, SIR. THAT IS CORRECT.

THIS WAS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

THAT'S WHY FORMER JAFFEE WAS GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON OR MAKE COMMENTS.

BOARD MEMBER KHAN. YES.

THANK YOU. I WANTED TO ASK THE BOARD MEMBER CHALFIE.

I'M SAYING THAT, RIGHT? RIGHT.

NAMES ARE BEING CHOPPED UP AT ALL.

UH, YEAH, THAT'S.

I GOT MY SUNGLASSES.

THE THE ENTRANCE.

ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS THAT YOU ASKED FOR THIS NOT TO HAPPEN.

WELL, I HEARD YOU SAY IT'S THE ENTRANCE TO OUR CITY.

IS IT AESTHETICS? IS IT. IF THIS WERE OFF.

THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO YOUR CITY, WHAT THERE STILL BE OPPOSITION TO IT.

IF I COULD, THROUGH THE TERRORISM, SIR, I JUST WANT TO ALSO BE CLEAR THAT THIS WAS JUST TO INFORM MY COLLEAGUES, THIS RESOLUTION, THIS DISCUSSION WAS JUST TO INFORM MY COLLEAGUES TODAY HERE ABOUT THIS RESOLUTION THAT PASSED LAST MONDAY AT THE CITY OF WESTERN. IN TERMS OF GOING BACK TO WHAT CHAIR CLARKE SAID, IS THAT THE DATA THAT WE HAVE BEEN PRESENTED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS DOES NOT PRODUCE A REQUIRED NEED AT THE TIME FOR THIS PARK AND RIDE AT THIS PARTICULAR SITE.

WE'RE NOT OPPOSED, OBVIOUSLY, TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ON THE I-75.

KADR BUT FOR THE COMMUNITY OF WEST BROWARD, WHERE WE ARE LOCATED.

THE DATA THAT WE WERE GIVEN AND THAT THE COMMUNITY ALSO REVIEWED DID NOT SHOW THAT THERE

[01:10:03]

WOULD BE A RIDERSHIP THAT WOULD BE UTILIZING THAT SITE.

ADDITIONALLY, THE LOCATION, AS YOU'RE ASKING, IS NUMBER ONE.

IT IS IN THE FRONT OF OUR CITY.

MAYBE THERE WILL BE AN ALTERNATE SITE THAT WE COULD LOOK AT ALONG OUR PERIMETER.

NUMBER TWO, THE CATCHMENT AREA TO UTILIZE THE EXPRESS BUS PARK AND RIDE.

IF IT WAS LOCATED AT THAT PROPOSED SITE, YOU'D HAVE TO COME FROM THIS.

IF YOU'RE SOUTH OF GRIFFIN ROAD, YOU'D HAVE TO GO NORTH TODAY AND GO SOUTH IF YOU ARE EAST OF I-75.

YOU'D HAVE TO GO WEST TO COME SOUTH.

SO IT'S OUT OF THAT DRIVING TIME WHERE THE AVERAGE PERSON MIGHT WANT TO UTILIZE IT.

AND IN OUR CITY, THE RESIDENTS CLEARLY SAY STATED THAT FOR THAT SITE AND THAT THE PROPOSED ROUTE, THE ONLY ROUTE ONLY GOES TO ONE LOCATION AND IT'S THE MIAMI INTERMODAL CENTER. SO YOU'D HAVE TO TAKE MULTIPLE FORMS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN ORDER TO REALLY UTILIZE THAT EXPRESS BUS SERVICE FROM THAT LOCATION.

SO RIGHT NOW, THE COMMUNITY IS SAYING THAT IN THE CURRENTLY THERE IS NO NEED FOR IT IN THAT SITE AND THE LOCATION IS RIGHT IN THE FRONT OF OUR CITY.

AND PLUS, IT'S PART OF A LAKE AREA.

SO A, B, IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT.

IT'LL BE A LOT OF EXTRA CONSTRUCTION AND FILLING IN THAT AREA.

AND IT IS PART OF A LANDSCAPE AREA THAT WE PEOPLE WOULD SEE AS YOU'RE COMING INTO THE CITY AND AS YOU'RE EXITING THE CITY TO SEE A PARK AND RIDE BUS OR BUS SLOT RIGHT IN THE FRONT OF OUR CITY. THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

OK. YOUR NEXT BOEMRE, JEFF, IF YOU WANT TO FINISH OFF OR IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ON, I'LL JUST. SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THERE WAS A PETITION THAT WAS SIGNED ONLINE BY OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE.

AND LIKE I SAID, WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE OF AN EXPRESS BUS, JUST THE CATCHMENT AREA FOR OUR RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE RIGHT. NINETY NINE PERCENT OF THE RESIDENTS WHO DO DRIVE TO MIAMI WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS SERVICE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING FURTHER THAN WHERE IT WOULD TAKE THEM.

AND AT A TIME ON OUR ON THE TIMES THAT INITIALLY WAS SET UP WAS NOT EFFICIENT FOR ANYBODY REALLY TO USE IT. I THINK MAYBE TWO PEOPLE THAT I TALKED TO OUT OF A COUPLE HUNDRED SAID THAT THEY WOULD ACTUALLY USE IT.

OK. THANK YOU. AND WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 8, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND LEGISLATIVE

[A. Fort Lauderdale ILA Update]

REPORTS. LOOKS LIKE THE FIRST THAT WE'RE DOING IS THE FORT LAUDERDALE IOLA UPDATE, AS PROMISED TO THE BOARD MEMBERS MYSELF.

THE STAFF HERE, AS WELL AS THE GENERAL COUNSEL, WORKED WITH THE CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE TO FINALIZE THE AGREEMENT.

THE CITY COMMISSION ACTUALLY PASSES SCREENNAME 5 0.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONER MCKENZIE AND MEGA-TREND TALIS HAS NOW LEFT.

YOU KNOW, WE BASICALLY HAVE ALREADY STARTED ADVERTISING FOR THE POSITIONS AND WE'RE GOING TO BE INTERVIEWING TO PROVIDE THAT AS A SIDE NOTE FOR EVERYBODY THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED.

ONE OF THE CITIES, ONE OF THE FEW NO VOTES THAT WE HAD ON THAT ITEM.

THAT CITY HAS REACHED OUT TO US TO ASK IF WE COULD PROVIDE THIS SERVICE FOR THEM.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS KIND OF A LITTLE SIDE INTEREST.

WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH THE CITY OF HOLLYWOOD AS WELL.

WE'VE ENTERED INTO DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM, TOO.

SO WITH THAT SAID, THIS WAS JUST FOR AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM FOR YOU ALL.

AND THE CHAIR WAS GOING TO EXECUTE THIS AFTER THE MEETING.

SHOULD THERE BE NO OBJECTION?

[B. Draft 2020 Broward MPO Federal and State Legislative Priorities]

OK. AND THEN ON TO ITEM B, DRAFT 20:20 BROWARD MPO, FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES. OK.

WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY BRING UP THE FEDERAL TEAM.

LET'S GO BACK INTO A SCHOOL EVENT.

WE HAVE OVER 200 PARTICIPANTS FROM STUDENTS AND KEEP STUDENTS ON BADEN'S WALK INTO A SCHOOL. AND YOU NOT ONLY THAT, WE HAVE OUR PAINTING SESSIONS ON OCTOBER 28 WHERE ALL THESE PEOPLE HERE PARTICIPATE IN.

THEY PAINTED CROSSWALKS, CORPUS STATIONS, MODEL INTERSECTIONS, PAVEMENT MARKINGS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE SAFETY AS A SAFETY FOR KIDS GOING TO A SCHOOL.

SO PLEASE, LET'S GIVE THEM A HUGE THINGS BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

WE CAN DO THESE IN ALL THEIR PARTS OF BROWARD COUNTY.

YES. SO THIS IS REPLICABLE.

JUST LET US KNOW.

WE GO TO YOU. WE CAN GO TO OTHER SCHOOLS AND DO A WALKING BUS.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND I WANT A COMMISSION OF A CORBIN.

I'M PRETTY GOOD, TOO, TO MAYBE EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT HOW YOU SAW THIS AND HOW IT WAS A WAY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE TYPE OF INITIATIVES.

WELL, I CAN SAY THAT, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK THE MPO.

THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB.

MS. GARCIA, SHE REALLY LED THE TEAM.

PLEASE GIVE HER IRAN A PASS.

SHE IS. SHE'S AWESOME WHEN IT COMES TO BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER.

I THANK STAFF FROM A POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE CITY OF MIRAMAR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT THAT REALLY WORKED WITH HER TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.

I PARTICIPATED IN THE WALK TO SCHOOL AND SPOKE TO KIDS AND PARENTS.

AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT WAS TRULY WELL-RECEIVED.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS REALLY HEARTWARMING WHEN ONE OF THE KIDS LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR? SO SO, YES.

AND THE PARTICIPATION FROM THE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, WE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT EVERYBODY REALLY CARING AND WANTING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SO I JUST SAY THANK YOU ALL.

AND I KNOW THAT IT WAS TRULY WELL RECEIVED BY PARENTS AND KIDS IN THE AREA.

AND I REALLY WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO COMMISSIONER COLBURN.

THE CITY OF MARIMAR.

AGAIN, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

AND, OF COURSE, THE PRINCIPAL OF PERRY K.A., WHO WAS JUST PHENOMENAL.

CAN WE JUST DO A SHOT? COME ON. I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT WAS THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR, BUT IT WAS AN EXCITING DAY.

AND THE STUDENTS REALLY WERE WONDERFUL.

AND I THINK YOU COULD SAY IT BEST.

SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY A FEW WORDS? I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SAY ANYTHING, BUT I DON'T MIND.

ONE OF THE THINGS I SAY WHEN I TALK TO PARENTS ALL THE TIME IS THAT WE CAN'T DO IT ALONE AS A SCHOOL. AND WHEN WE HAVE THE COLLABORATION OF ALL OF THESE UNITIES COMING TOGETHER, WE CAN REALLY MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN.

[01:20:02]

SO THANK YOU TO COMMISSIONER KOLBER, THE SCHOOL BOARD.

THE THE PLANNING ORGANIZATION.

IT REALLY WAS AMAZING.

WE HAVE ABOUT 70 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS THAT ACTUALLY WALKED TO SCHOOL.

AND WHEN YOU HAVE SUCH A COMMUNITY ORIENTED SCHOOL, IT'S AMAZING THAT YOU REALLY DON'T RECOGNIZE AND REALIZE THE PATH THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS TAKE IS AS EARLY AS 7 YEARS OLD, WALKING TO SCHOOL EVERY MORNING.

AND THEY'RE REALLY CROSSING STREETS THAT AREN'T ALWAYS THE SAFEST.

AND TO BRING THIS AS A FOREFRONT TO THE COMMUNITY WAS REALLY A BIG EVENT.

SO THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY THAT HAPPENED TO MAKE THIS EVENT FOR US OR SCHOOL'S HONOR.

JUST BE A PART OF IT. AND IF THE OTHER CITIES CAN DO IT, I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST MAKING IT HAPPEN BECAUSE IT WAS A BIG DEAL FOR US.

SO THANK YOU. AND TO SHOW HOW IMPORTANT SOCIAL MEDIA IS, WHEN THE PICTURE STARTED GOING OUT REGARDING THE CROSSWALK PAINTINGS, PEOPLE STARTED POSTING.

I KNOW PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT THEY WANTED AT THEIR SCHOOL.

SO THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

YOU HAVE CREATED A GREAT BUZZ WITHIN BROWARD COUNTY BECAUSE WHERE SCHOOLS DON'T HAVE CROSSWALKS, THEY WANT TO INITIATE THOSE SAFE ROUTE TO SCHOOL.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR EFFORTS.

U.S.S.R SO EASY ANSWER RIGHT NOW.

YA GOTTA MAKE SURE I WORK NEEDS TOO.

MEAN GOT THE SHAFT RATE TO SEE THE ENTIRE DAY.

UNITY IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY I'M GAY AND TRAFFIC RE-INSTATING RUNNING AT THE TIME.

OH, WAIT A MINUTE, MAN.

EASY, EASY.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE IN ATLANTA.

WHAT YOU GET WHICH.

VARIOUS SCHOOL. YOU SEE TO ME MY WHAT IS THE FORMAT? NOW WE NEED TO TO RECOGNIZE THAT THESE DIE A DAY ON THE RIGHT.

THESE ARE FUN AND THEY ONLY AMPLIFIED FOR ME.

ABOUT THIS WHOLE PROGRAM WAS DESIDERIO.

SO THEY'RE ALL THE. I WAS GOING TO SCHOOL.

IT WAS AS IF THERE WAS A FEAST HERE.

SO WE WANT TO END GORASH ALL THE WAYS YOU FIND IT.

YES. YOU NEED INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO APPLY, YOU SAY ABOUT THE SCHOOL.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO SCHOOL. WE'RE ON A ROLL BY DAY.

YEAH, I THINK SO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. DO WE HAVE TIME FOR YOU ALL? SO YOU REMEMBER THESE WHATEVER YOU GUYS KNOW, WE JUST GET A GOOD PICTURE OF HER LICENSE PLATE WHERE THE CAMERA CODE IS. WHAT, YOU DON'T HAVE A SPACE? ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

OK. READY? ALL RIGHT.

IN PRIVATE PLANES, YOU GO ONE, TWO, THREE, POSE.

LOOK AT THAT. ALL RIGHT.

GOING. REALLY? A LOT OF PEOPLE. YOU'RE ALSO ATTRACTING YOUNGER PEOPLE.

BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE. RIGHT.

HI. YEAH. FINISH UP WITH THE FEDERALES.

[01:25:05]

IT'S REALLY A BIG DEMOGRAPHIC.

ABSOLUTELY. YEAH.

OH, SORRY. OK.

THIS IS GONNA BE ACT 2 OF THE DRAFT 20:20 MPO FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.

MR. KLINE. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS.

NICE TO SEE EVERYONE.

AND HAPPY TO PRESENT SOME INFORMATION ON THE CONGRESSIONAL AND FEDERAL UPDATE.

I'M JOINED BY LORI HETTINGER AND LISA BERKOVIC.

THE THREE OF US MAKE UP OUR TEAM THAT REPRESENT YOU IN WASHINGTON, AND WE'RE SUPPLEMENTED BY A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON.

BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, AS YOU KNOW, HAVE SPLIT GOVERNMENT.

WASHINGTON, WHICH MEANS THAT WE NEED TO REACH OUT ON BOTH SIDES, ARE OUR LAW FIRM AND OUR TEAM IS BUT HALF DEMOCRATS, HALF REPUBLICANS.

AND WE MAY MAKE SURE IT ALLOWS US TO HAVE GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH EVERYONE FROM MARIO DIAZ-BALART, WHO IS AN IMPORTANT PERSON, IS RANKING MEMBER REPUBLICAN FROM SOUTH FLORIDA, ALWAYS HOLDS HIMSELF OUT AS BEING A BROWARD BORN PERSON AND ALSO A DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ AND TED DEUTCH AND MANY OTHERS WHO REPRESENT THIS COMMUNITY.

SO JUST VERY BRIEFLY, AS YOU MAY HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING, THE BUDGET WAS PASSED.

BUDGET IS DIFFERENT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT SYSTEM THAN STATE, WHICH IS ALL ONE COMBINED SYSTEM.

THE BUDGET IN WASHINGTON IS A SEPARATE DOCUMENT.

IT'S LIKE AN ASPIRATIONAL DOCUMENT OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO LAY OUT, YOU KNOW, HOW WE'RE GOING TO SPEND. BUT THE APPROPRIATIONS BILL IS ACTUALLY THE BILL THAT ACTUALLY IS THE SPENDING BILL. SO THE BIPARTISAN BUDGET ACT WAS PASSED.

IT'S 2.7 TRILLION. IT'S GOT AN INCREASE OF LOT OF THINGS FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT SUBJECT MATTERS.

AND IT ALSO SPENDS THE NATION'S BORROWING LIMIT UNTIL JULY 31, 2021.

THAT'S RELEVANT BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY ARE CONSTANTLY HITTING AGAINST THE DEBT CEILING.

THE MORE IMPORTANT ONE FOR NOW IS THE APPROPRIATIONS BILL, THE T HUD BILL.

THAT'S THE TRANSPORTATION HOUSING URBAN DEVELOPMENT BILL IS THE BILL.

THAT IS THE ONE THAT RELATES TO THE THINGS THAT WE CARE ABOUT TRANSPORTATION ISSUES THAT BILL INDIVIDUALLY AND THE APPROPRIATIONS BILLS ARE ALL SEPARATE BILLS BASED ON SUBJECT MATTER. THERE'S MANY OF THEM.

AND THAT BILL DID PASS THE HOUSE SEPARATELY AND THE SENATE SEPARATELY.

THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT BILLS AS IT ALWAYS REQUIRES THEM TO COME TOGETHER IN A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. AND THAT AND ALL THE OTHER BILLS BASICALLY ARE IN LIMBO RIGHT NOW.

EVERYTHING IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN PASSED BY THE BEGINNING OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WHICH BEGINS ON OCTOBER 1.

YOU MAY HAVE FOLLOWED WERE IN AN EXTENSION MODE.

RIGHT NOW. IT'S CALLED A CIERRA CONTINUING RESOLUTION, WHICH CONTINUES ALL BUDGET ITEMS, ALL APPROPRIATE ITEMS, THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

AS OF YESTERDAY, IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THIS THIS C.R.

IS GOING TO RUN UNTIL NOVEMBER 21ST, WHICH IS AROUND THE CORNER.

AND IF THEY DIDN'T PASS THE APPROPRIATIONS BILL BY THEN, THEN YOU'D GO INTO DEFAULT.

AND BASICALLY THE GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD THING.

SO THE TWO CHAIRS OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE YESTERDAY ANNOUNCED THIS IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER C.R., THE TEMPORARY STOPGAP, WHICH WILL GO TILL DECEMBER 20TH, WHICH PUTS EVERYBODY IN.

MODE WEEK. AND COINCIDENTALLY, IT'S ALSO PROBABLY AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT THEIR HOUSE IS GOING TO VOTE ON IMPEACHMENT.

SO THAT SHOULD LIGHTEN THE ENVIRONMENT THERE AS WELL WHILE THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT.

BUT I THINK THERE'S THERE SEEMS TO BE A GOOD AMOUNT OF INTEREST BY BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE MEMBERS TO NOT ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONTINUE TO FUND.

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR HOW THE PRESIDENT'S GOING TO VIEW THIS BASED ON EVERYTHING GOING ON, BUT HE OBVIOUSLY HAS TO SIGN WHATEVER BILL THEY THEY DECIDE TO DO AT THAT POINT.

SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF THE THE SUBJECT.

THE IMPEACHMENT, OBVIOUSLY, IS A LITTLE BIT OF AN OVERLAY OVER EVERYTHING GOING ON IN WASHINGTON RIGHT NOW. IT'S ALL IN THE HOUSE.

IF THE HOUSE PASSES AN IMPEACHMENT, AS YOU KNOW, IMPEACHMENT IS NOT THE TRIAL ITSELF.

IT'S JUST A VOTE TO GO FORWARD IN CONSIDERING IN A TRIAL FORMAT IN THE SENATE, WHICH REQUIRE TWO THIRDS OF THE MEMBERS VOTING TO REMOVE THE PRESENCE.

VERY, VERY, VERY UNLIKELY THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN.

BUT IT'S VERY IT'S PROBABLY LIKELY THAT THE HOUSE IS GOING TO VOTE TO SEND IT TO THE SENATE. SO THAT WILL PROBABLY CARRY ON AFTER THE YEAR.

I EXPECT THE HOUSE WILL TAKE ITS VOTE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BEFORE DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST, AND THEN IT'LL BE IN MITCH MCCONNELL'S HANDS TO DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF TRIAL.

THIS IS NOT A JUDICIAL TRIAL.

IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF A STRUCTURE.

BUT WE'LL CREATE THAT AND THEN WE'LL HAVE SOME TYPE OF STORY IN JANUARY.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS AFFECTS EVERYTHING GWINE RIGHT NOW.

BUT SUFFICE IT TO SAY, THINGS THAT WE CARE ABOUT ON THE APPROPRIATIONS ARE OUR FOCUS AND ATTENTION IS. SO LET ME TURN OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES AND THEY'LL TALK ABOUT THE SPECIFICS.

GOOD MORNING. MORNING.

FOR TRANSPORTATION AND APPROPRIATIONS BILL, WHAT HE'S HAD IS WHEN THESE BIPARTISAN BILLS

[01:30:02]

THAT EVER WEMBLEY HAS PASSED THE HOUSE AND SENATE.

AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE'S MORE MONEY FOR TRANSPORTATION OVERALL, INCLUDING A BILLION DOLLARS FOR THE BILL GRANT PROGRAM.

SO SINCE HIS POST IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE BILL, IT WILL BE IN THE CONFERENCE REPORT AND ONCE AGAIN, ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR HIGHWAYS AND TRANSIT GRANTS OVERALL.

JUST REALLY QUICKLY. THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS TO DO BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY IS PRIOR APPROPRIATIONS.

AND THEN NEXT YEAR WE HAVE THE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION AUTHORIZATION BILL, WHICH EXPIRES AT TIMBER 30TH 2020.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE EPA, WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS AND WITH GREG AND HIS TEAM ON SUBMITTING YOUR PRIORITIES FOR THE BILL.

BUT JUST GIVE YOU A QUICK TIMELINE ON THE BILL ITSELF.

THE SENATE ENVIRONMENT PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE PASSED ITS BILL BEFORE THE AUGUST RECESS IN JULY AND THE LARGEST INCREASE FOR DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION EVER IN A REAUTHORIZATION BILL. AND SEVERAL OF OUR PRIORITIES WERE INCLUDED.

ONE, WHY'S THAT PROJECT STREAMLINE INTO THIS? VERY IMPORTANT TO BROWARD.

USUALLY I'D LOOK AS A LEADER BOTH IN FLORIDA AND NATIONWIDE.

AND HOW YOU DOING IT ON YOUR OWN.

BUT NOW THE D.O.T.

CAN MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO STREAMLINE YOUR PROJECTS.

A SECOND ONE IS INCREASING MONEY FOR RAILWAY GRADE CROSSINGS.

I KNOW, AS CHAIRMAN MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD ON REDUCING YOUR PEDESTRIAN INJURIES AND FATALITIES, BUT NOW THERE'LL BE ADDITIONAL FEDERAL MONEY FOR THAT AND THIS NEXT REAUTHORIZATION BILL.

AND THE THIRD PRIOR THIRD THING THAT WAS INCLUDED, I THOUGHT OF, UM, BROWARD, IS THAT THEY CREATED NEW RESILIENCY GRANT PROGRAM.

SO TO ALLOW A COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM FOR YOU TO APPLY FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES AND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ARE PRONE TO FLOODING SO THAT THIS WE HAD A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

HOWEVER, THIS IS THE ONLY KAMEI THIS PASS THE BILL.

THERE'S TWO OTHER COMMITTEES IN THE SENATE.

THERE'S SENATE COMMERCE THAT OVERSEES SAFETY NET SSA AND THE FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION. THEY'RE BEGINNING TO ASK FOR IDEAS.

AND WE'RE WORKING WITH SENATOR SCOTT.

HE'S A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE TO SUBMIT OUR IDEAS FOR THAT.

AND THEN THERE'S A SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE WHICH OVERSEES A TRANSIT PROGRAM.

AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR IDEAS WHERE THEY HAVEN'T PUT PEN TO PAPER YET ON THE HOUSE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE.

THEY'VE STARTED TO WORK ON THE BILL, TOO, BUT ONCE AGAIN, THEY HAVE NOT STARTED DRAFTING.

SO MOST LIKELY SEE AN EXTENSION BECAUSE NEXT YEAR, YOU KNOW, IT'S A PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.

AND IF IT'S POSSIBLE, I THINK THESE COULD BE EVEN MORE PARTISAN THAN NOW.

SO I THINK IT'LL BE HARD TO GET A BILL LIKE THIS DONE THAT IS GONNA BE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN FUNDING. SO LISA AND I WILL GO OVER SOME OF THE PRIORITIES WE'RE WORKING WITH ON THE MPO DUE TO TALK ABOUT THE SDP PROGRAM FIRST.

YEAH. SO ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES FOR THE MPO IS TO CREATE A PILOT PROGRAM AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL THAT WOULD GIVE ALLOW THE MPO TO RECEIVE DIRECTLY THEIR SURFACE TRANSPORTATION. BLOCK GRANT FUNDING INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO TO THE STATE AND THEN THE MPO HAVING TO THEN GET FROM THE STATE.

SO WE HAVE RECEIVED EXCELLENT FEEDBACK.

WE WENT TO MEET WITH THE U.S.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO.

THEY REVIEWED THE PROGRAM.

THEY REALLY LIKED IT. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF THIS IF CONGRESS DECIDES TO PUSH THIS IN EITHER AN AUTHORIZATION OR APPROPRIATIONS BILL.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THIS NEXT UPCOMING CYCLE, WHICH WILL START IN JANUARY OR WHENEVER THEY FINISHED THE F 20 BILLS.

BUT SO FAR OFF BY 2021, WE'LL BE LOOKING TO SEE IF WE CAN CREATE THIS PILOT PROGRAM WITHIN THE APPROPRIATIONS BILL.

AND SO WE'VE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO MEMBERS OF OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION, CONGRESSMAN MARIO DIAZ-BALART OFFICE, TO KIND OF GIVE THEM THIS IDEA.

AND SO WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING TO SEE FROM A NATIONWIDE PERSPECTIVE WHAT OTHER MEMBERS WOULD WANT TO SUPPORT THIS.

SO IT WOULD BE A GREAT GIVE THE MPO GREATER FLEXIBILITY.

AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES, MPOS, ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO ALSO SUPPORTED THIS IDEA.

SO IT'S NOT JUST OUR MPO STANDING ON, IT SOUNDS.

WE THINK WE HAVE A GREAT POSSIBILITY OF SUCCESS FOR THIS IN EITHER THE APPROPRIATIONS AND OR THE AUTHORIZATION BILL.

SO JUST A QUICK RUNDOWN ON WHERE WE ARE WITH GRANTS.

SO THE FIRST ONE WE'RE GOING TO MENTION IS THE IN FOR A GRANT.

YOU MIGHT HAVE REMEMBER THIS USED TO BE CALLED THE FAST LANE PROGRAM WHEN IT WAS FIRST CREATED UNDER THE FAST ACT UNDER THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.

THIS ADMINISTRATION, SECRETARY CHAO REBRANDED IT, RENAMED IT.

WE'RE GOING TO MENTION THIS ONE FIRST, BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A BILLION DOLLARS AVAILABLE. AND WE HAVE JUST LEARNED FROM OUR FRIENDS AT THE U.S.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION THAT THE NEXT ROUND OF FUNDING WILL BE OPENING BY THE END OF DECEMBER 2019.

AND SO THAT'S JUST AN IDEA TO THROW OUT THERE.

THERE ARE PROJECTS THAT THE MPO WOULD BE CONSIDERING TO SUBMIT UNDER THE INFOUR GRANT PROGRAM. JUST CLOSING THIS COMING MONDAY IS THE PILOT PROGRAM FOR TUDI PLANNING.

THAT PROGRAM IS RUN OUT OF THE FTA.

THEN, AS LAURIE MENTIONED, THE BUILD GRANT PROGRAM, WE'RE EXPECTING THAT THERE WILL BE A BILLION DOLLARS AVAILABLE IN THE NEXT UPCOMING CYCLE.

AS YOU KNOW, THEY JUST MADE GRANT AWARDS THIS WEEK.

[01:35:01]

AND SO IT'S JUST A PROGRAM THAT'S CONSIDERED YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING IF YOU LOOK AT THE GRANT AWARDS THAT WERE MADE.

SIXTY EIGHT PERCENT OF THE FUNDING WENT TO ROAD PROJECTS ONLY THAT WERE AWARDED.

SO THIS ADMINISTRATION IS LEANING TOWARDS ROAD PROJECTS AND LESS TRANSIT AND LESS MARITIME PORT PROJECTS.

ANOTHER GREAT ONE FOR RAILWAY PROJECTS.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION CONGESTION MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM.

I REFERRED TO THIS ONE KIND OF SMART CITIES ON A DIET.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS 60 MILLION DOLLARS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROGRAM.

AND I THINK THAT'S ALL WE HAVE LET YOU ASK QUESTIONS.

OK. WE DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FROM THE MEMBERSHIP.

FIRST UP IS COUNTY EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER FER.

NO, NO. ALL RIGHT. OH, NO QUESTIONS.

VICE CHAIR AUTIST. YES.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. GOOD JOB.

THE TIGER GRANTS.

ARE WE STILL IN LINE WITH THOSE? I MEAN, BECAUSE OF OUR REFUSAL TO ACCEPT A LOT OF THEM IN THE PAST.

WHY ARE WE STILL OKAY WITH TIGER GRANTS? I KNOW WHEN WE WHEN THE STATE OF FLORIDA REFUSED, A COUPLE OF THEM WENT TO MICHIGAN AND WENT TO PHILADELPHIA AND WE DIDN'T GET THEM.

SO THAT WAS IN THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.

BUT WHEN WERE THE LAST YEAR OF OBAMA ADMINISTRATION? YOU DID GET ONE OF THEIR COMPLETE STREETS PROJECT, WHICH IS GREAT.

SO THIS YEAR THEY MADE AWARDS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY FORMALLY FOR THE SECRETARY AND THEIR PORT EVERGLADES. AS YOU RECALL, WE SUBMITTED THAT, BUT IT WAS NOT FUNDED.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATE OF FLORIDA, THE PROJECTS THAT WERE FUNDED, THERE WAS ONE IN MIAMI FOR CONGRESSMAN DIAZ-BALART.

HE'S A RANKING MEMBER OF APPROPRIATIONS WHO PROVIDES THE FUNDING FOR THE BILL PROGRAM.

THERE IS ONE IN ORLANDO, BUT IT IS STILL A RURAL PROJECT.

IT WAS ALSO ACCEPTED ALTERNATIVE VEHICLES, A BS, WHICH IS SECRETARY, IS PRIORITIZING BOTH OF THOSE. AND THEN THE THIRD ONE WAS WITH CONGRESSMAN RUTHERFORD.

THE PORT OF JACKSONVILLE IS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE TYPE APPROPRIATIONS BILL.

DOES IT MEAN THAT WE'RE NOT COMPETITIVE? IT JUST SEEMS THAT THIS TIME AROUND IT SEEMED VERY POLITICAL THAT YOU THINK, ESPECIALLY WITH THE COUNTY TAX, YOU COULD OVERLEVERAGE AND WE'RE GOING TO DO A DEBRIEF FOR THE CITY AND PORT AND THEN DISCUSS FUTURE PROJECTS FOR NEXT YEAR ROUND.

AND IF YOU COULD PUT PEMBROKE PINES IT UP.

BUT JUST LASTLY, AS MANY OF US ARE VERY FRIENDLY WITH THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE, BRENDA LAWRENCE, FORMER MAYOR, IS A GOOD FRIEND OF OURS, OF COURSE, MARIO DIAZ-BALART, DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ AND OTHERS.

SO I'VE BEEN CALLED PERSONALLY IN THE U.S.

CONFERENCE OF MAYORS TO ASK THEM TO HELP US OUT WHEN THE FUNDING WAS ZERO FROM THE ADMINISTRATION. AND MARIO DIAZ-BALART WAS ABLE TO GET 3.3 BILLION IN, YOU KNOW, CBG MONEY.

SO WE'RE WE'RE HERE TO HELP.

JUST A QUICK UPDATE BEFORE WE TURN IT BACK OVER THE TEAM.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW IS PAUL KREVER EASY, WHO IS OUR INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR, IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE HOSTING A BROWARD WIDE CONVERSATION ON GRANTS AND FEDERAL GRANTS AND WHO SHOULD APPLY AND HOW WE GO THROUGH THE SYSTEM SORT OF PRIORITIZE.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE FOCUS LASER FOCUS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, KNOWING WHAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM THE PORT EVERGLADES ISSUE, AS WELL AS THE WAVE AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED. SO THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN KIND OF WORK ON TOGETHER AND THAT IT'S GOING TO COME UP OBVIOUSLY IN DECEMBER.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN GO BACK AND TALK TO YOUR CITY MANAGERS AND YOUR CITY STAFF, AS WELL AS THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND COUNTY STAFF TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE MOVE TOGETHER IN A SEAMLESS WAY.

AND ONE OTHER THING ABOUT APPROPRIATIONS.

WE MENTIONED MARIO DIAZ-BALART.

DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ IS CHAIR OF THE ONE OF THE V.A.

APPROPRIATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE, WHICH IS GREAT FOR A LOCAL V.A., BUT IT'S CALLED A CARDINAL POSITION.

AND THAT'S BASICALLY ONE OF THE CHAIRS OF THE APPROPRIATIONS BILL.

SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF INFLUENCE AMONG EACH OTHER.

THEY SORT OF LITTLE BIT HORSE TRADING SOMETIMES.

SHE'S THERE'S ALSO SOME STORIES OUT THERE THAT SHE'S ACTUALLY TRYING TO BE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIR. NITA LOWEY IS THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIR.

SHE JUST ENOUGH. SHE'S NOT GOING TO RUN AGAIN.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF AN INTERNAL THING IF SHE HAPPENS TO GET THAT.

THAT IS HUGE FOR FLORIDA AND CERTAINLY HUGE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

NOTHING THAT WE HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER.

IT'S ALL DONE INTERNALLY.

BUT SHE DOES HAVE ELEVATED RESPONSIBILITY WITHIN THE CAUCUS, WHICH IS VERY GOOD FOR APPROPRIATIONS. AND WE SHOULD MAKE I KNOW WE ALREADY USE HER, BUT I MEAN, BETWEEN HER AND MARIO AS A GOOD BIPARTISAN TEAM, IT WORKS WELL.

OK. IT SAYS THAT MR. BATES WANTS TO SPEAK, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT ITS BOARD MEMBER SHARIF.

OH, SO SORRY. YES, IT IS.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT WE TALK ABOUT PORTS IN JACKSONVILLE AND MIAMI GETTING FUNDING AND BROWARD COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST CONTAINER PORT UNITS TEHY USE IN THE

[01:40:03]

STATE OF FLORIDA.

WE'RE TRYING TO DREDGE AND WE'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FOR OVER 20 YEARS WITH THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS. SO EVERY TIME I HEAR THAT WORD THAT IT'S POLITICAL, IT'S LIKE NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD FOR ME, BECAUSE WE ALL SERVICE THE SAME RIGHTS RESIDENTS.

THEY GET ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY.

AND IF THAT'S NOT A POLITICAL ENOUGH REASON FOR THEM TO BRING SOME DOLLARS DOWN AND APPROVE OUR PROJECT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE IS.

AND SO I GUESS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH TEAM YOU HIRE, YOU END UP WITH THE SAME ANSWER.

BUT I I THINK THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO HAVE TO KNOCK ON SOME DOORS UP THERE AND LET THEM KNOW WHO ELECTS THEM.

IT'S NOT JUST THE PEOPLE IN JACKSONVILLE, JACKSONVILLE, SO SMALL.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY JACKSONVILLE WILL GET MONEY OVER BROWARD AND IN MIAMI WERE SECOND IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF FLORIDA TO THE SIZE OF MIAMI.

AND WE'RE NUMBER ONE FOR CONTAINER PORT.

SO ONE, YOU BE PUSHING YOUR ECONOMIC ENGINE.

I MEAN, IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO ME, NOT JUST BECAUSE I'M A BROWN COUNTY RESIDENT AND A BROWN COUNTY COMMISSIONER, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE PUSHED. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LOTS OF REPRESENTATIVES.

THEY GET PROMOTED TO LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE THINK ARE GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL TO US. BUT BROWARD, IT'S BEEN OVER 20, THREE YEARS AND IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

IT HAS TO DO WITH THE PEOPLE WE KEEP ELECTING IN CONGRESS.

AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD AND LET THEM KNOW WE ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THOSE ANSWERS. THANK YOU.

WELL, I'LL DOVETAIL INTO ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT I HAD WAS WE HAVE ASKED THE SAME PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY. WE'VE GONE UP AND MET WITH YOU, WITH THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE. AND WE'VE ASKED ASKED ASIC HAS ASKED IN AND IN SOME INSTANCES THEY HAVE DELIVERED THEY HAVEN'T DELIVERED ON THE PORT, BUT THEY HAVE DELIVERED BEFORE IT.

NOT BIG. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO ASK THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO DO FOR THE DECEMBER MEETING IS TO PUT ON A SERIES OF PROCLAMATIONS FOR THOSE MEMBERS OF OUR DELEGATION IN THE STATE, INCLUDING THE TWO SENATORS, TO JUST SAY HAVE A RESOLUTION SAYING THANK YOU FOR ASSISTING OUR ORGANIZATION, BECAUSE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND I ARE BOTH ON THE BOARD FOR THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REGIONAL COUNCILS.

WE WILL GO UP IN FEBRUARY FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING FOR THAT.

AND WE CAN SNEAK OFF FROM THAT MEETING LIKE WE NORMALLY DO AND GO MEET WITH THESE IN HAND THESE OUT TO SAY THANK YOU, BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR MORE MONEY IN THE FUTURE.

THAT'S THE ONE CONSTANT THAT WE HAVE.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND I KNOW THAT WE HAD A FORMER BOARD MEMBER, MARK BROWN, WHO WAS THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO A MEMBER OF CONGRESS. AND FOR MANY MEETINGS, HE'S LIKE, THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DO IT.

AND THEN HE WENT WITH US TO WASHINGTON ONE TIME AND HE APPLAUDED YOUR ABILITIES TO MEET WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.

AND I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I'M ACTUALLY COMING UP THE SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER, BUT I'LL BE UTILIZING THE DAVEY GOVERNMENT RELATIONS PEOPLE BECAUSE THE MPO CANCELED THAT TRIP.

BUT I WILL BE COMING UP BECAUSE OUR OUR GOVERNMENT RELATIONS SPECIALIST SAID IT'S BUSINESS AS USUAL. SO I AM GOING UP ANYWAYS.

SO I'LL PROBABLY RUN INTO YOU WHEN I'M UP THERE ANYWAYS.

OK. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I WILL RECOGNIZE MR. CALVARY'S FOR THE STATE BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION FOR THE NEXT MEETING WHEN WE VOTE ON OUR STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.

THANK YOU, JERK. LIKE A PACK OF RACY LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES.

SO IN YOUR ATTACHMENT, YOU'LL SEE THE STATE, THE PROPOSED STATE PRIORITIES IF YOU CLICK ON THE LINK. I DON'T SEE YOU COMING UP ON THE.

AND WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS MOVING FORWARD.

THERE'S THE. AND THIS ONE TO LET YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR WE HAD A VERY GOOD YEAR FOR OUR STATE PRIORITIES. SAFETY WAS A BIG PUSH AS FAR AS THIS YEAR'S SESSION.

TRANSPORTATION DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A BIG PUSH UP IN TALLAHASSEE, WHICH IS IT'S NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD. IT'S JUST THE TREND.

SO LOOKING AT LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES BASED ON THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING LAST WEEK, WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO OPTIONS.

THERE'S THE FIVE POINTS.

AT THE TOP OR THERE IS PUTTING ALL OF OUR EFFORTS TOWARDS ONE GOAL.

RIGHT. SO AT THE LAST EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING, WE HAVE FIVE STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES,

[01:45:02]

AND ONE OF THOSE THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS SAID TO THE SMALL CITIES IS THAT WE WOULD DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO LIFT THAT STATE PROHIBITION OF THE TWENTY FIVE VOTES.

WE WANT EVERYBODY TO VOTE.

AND AT THE LAST MEETING, WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO IS WE'RE NOT VOTING ON THIS UNTIL DECEMBER. THIS IS JUST FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE.

WE HAVE TWO PROPOSALS FOR OUR STATE PRIORITIES.

ONE IS THE FIVE BULLET POINTS THAT ARE LISTED AS THE ATTACHMENT, AND THE OTHER IS TO FOCUS ALL OF OUR ENERGY ON GETTING ALL VOTES COUNT AT THE MPO LEVEL.

NOW, WE DID HAVE SOME DISCUSSION WITH OUR STATE, REPRESENT GOVERNMENT RELATIONS PEOPLE THAT BASICALLY SAID IF YOU OPEN THE CAN, IT MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU WANTED.

AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

THERE COULD BE CONSEQUENCES FOR US TO GO UP THERE.

THERE ARE SOME STATE REPRESENTATIVES OUT THERE THAT DO NOT LIKE MPOS.

THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE DOING.

AND WE COULD TRY TO LIFT THE VOTE PAST 25 SO ALL MEMBERS GET A VOTE, BUT THEY COULD HAVE A DIFFERENT PLANETS IN STORE FOR US AND THEY COULD SAY, NO, YOU'RE GOING BACK TO 19, WHICH IS A POSSIBILITY. THERE'S THE RISK.

SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WEIGH OUT WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY.

I LOOK AT IT AS PERSONALLY.

WE HAVE BEEN PROMISING THIS TO THE SMALL CITIES AND WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES TO DO THE BEST WE CAN. IF WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS PROMISE, WE SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON IT, EVEN IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF CONSEQUENCES ATTACHED TO IT.

SO THAT WAY IT'S NOT.

YOU GET TO VOTE TODAY, YOU DON'T GET TO VOTE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN IS BECAUSE OF STATE STATUTES WITH THE NUMBER OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, THAT ALSO INCREASES THE NUMBER OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

IF YOU LIFT LIFT LIST, LIFT THE CAP BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO MAKE UP 20 PERCENT OF THE MEMBERSHIP. AND I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE ALL NINE ON IF IF EVERYBODY GETS TO VOTE, HAVE ALL NINE ON.

THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF WHAT WE DO GOES TO THE COUNTY AFTERWARDS.

SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE ALL OF THEM UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S COMING BEFORE THEM WHEN IT HITS THE COUNTY. AND IT WON'T BE A SURPRISE TO ANY OF THEM.

I SEE THAT FORMER CHAIR BLATTNER WISHES TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. JUST A THOUGHT THAT REGARDING THE TOTAL MEMBERSHIP, VOTING MAY BE THE WAY TO MAKE THIS MORE PALATABLE TO THE LEGISLATURE IS TO GIVE THE MPOS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE ALL MEMBERS VOTE.

IN OTHER WORDS, BY A MAJORITY RULE OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE CHANGING OUR IS CREATING A RESOLUTION THAT ALLOWS FOR MPOS TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY WANT TO FOLLOW THE CURRENT SYSTEM OR TO LET ALL MEMBERS VOTE INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING WE WANT ALL MEMBERS TO VOTE.

BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IN THE PAST OUR MEMBERS IN TALLAHASSEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE NO MEMBERS VOTE. THE OTHER THING IS THAT I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT THAT EXPANDING THE MEMBERSHIP REQUIRES THAT ALL COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BE ON THIS BOARD.

AND I THINK IT'S UNREALISTIC TO THINK THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ATTEND THAT ANYWAY.

SO I THINK THERE'S PLENTY MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT TOPIC.

JUST ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I BELIEVE THAT THE COUNT WOULD ACTUALLY GO TO SEVEN.

IN MY OPINION, IF YOU GOT SEVEN OF THE NINE HAVE ALL NINE THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, WE DISPENSE. THERE'S NO ALTERNATES FOR CITIES, THERE'S NO ALTERNATES FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. AND I THINK IT'S A HEALTHY CONVERSATION.

I PERSONALLY KNOW OF ONE COUNTY COMMISSIONER THAT'S NOT ON THE MPO.

THAT REALLY WANTS TO BE, BUT IT'S DETERMINED BY THE MAYOR, I GUESS APPOINTS US TO THE PROCESS THAT I UNDERSTAND.

SO THIS WOULD GIVE A VOICE TO ALL NINE.

THEY'RE OUR PARTNERS. AND I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.

SIR, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

[C. Vision 2100 Plan]

OK, WE'RE MOVING ON TO THE VISION.

TWENTY ONE HUNDRED PLAN, MR. G'S. WELL, PETER'S COMING UP, I ACTUALLY I WANT TO STAND UP FOR THIS BECAUSE I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING.

AND COMMISSIONER FER, YOU BROUGHT THIS UP EARLIER ON THE ISSUE WITH THE PARK AND RIDE.

AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A MASTER PLAN FOR TRANSIT.

SO VISION. TWENTY ONE HUNDRED IS ACTUALLY AND I NEED TO BRING DAD ALWAYS USED TO SAY, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'VE BEEN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

SO BACK IN 2009, THIS BOARD ADOPTED A RADICAL CHANGE TO THE WAY WE DEAL WITH TRANSPORTATION. IT WAS ACTUALLY RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY ON WHAT WE WERE ACTUALLY AT STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS, ON HOW WE CAN ACTUALLY ADDRESS MOVING PEOPLE THROUGHOUT BROWARD COUNTY AND IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA.

WHAT WE FOUND AFTER ADOPTING THAT PLAN AND THAT WAS IN THE TWENTY THIRTY FIVE DOCUMENT, WHICH ALSO HAD THE EXPRESS BUS SYSTEM IDENTIFIED AS WELL, IS THERE WAS NO OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE AVAILABLE TO OUR COUNTY AND OTHER PARTNERS TO ACTUALLY BUILD A TRANSIT SYSTEM

[01:50:05]

ROBUST ENOUGH THAT IT WOULD CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE MOVE AROUND IN BROWARD.

SO THAT WAS ACTUALLY GAVE BIRTH TO THE SPEAK UP BROWARD EFFORT, WHICH ULTIMATELY CULMINATED TWO YEARS AGO IN THE VOTE WHERE WE SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVED A PENNY FROM OUR VOTERS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

THIS IS SOLVE THE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE DILEMMA THAT WE FACED.

AND NOW IT'S ABOUT PUTTING THE CAPITAL BACK IN PLACE.

SO WORKING WITH PETER AND THE TEAM ON THE LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WE DUSTED OFF WHAT WE HAD PROPOSED BACK THEN BECAUSE REALISTICALLY IN 2008, BACK IN 2000, BACK IN TWENTY IN NINETEEN NINETY FIVE BROWARD COUNTIES DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS BAKED.

WE ALREADY KNOW WHERE THINGS ARE GOING.

WE'VE DEVELOPED EVERY BLOODY BLADE OF GRASS AS WE HEARD LAST NIGHT WHEN WE DID OUR TOWN HALL. AND NOW WE ALSO KNOW WHERE REDEVELOPMENT SHOULD AND MORE LIKELY WILL OCCUR.

AVAILABLE LANDS THAT ARE ON TRANSIT CORRIDORS, A LOT OF OLD SHOPPING CENTERS, AREAS.

AND PLANTATION WAS ONE OF THOSE THAT WAS MENTIONED BY ONE OF THE CALLERS AS ACTUALLY, HEY, THEY'RE DEVELOPING ALL THOSE MULTI-FAMILY AND THIS LOCATION THAT'S JUST GOING TO GENERATE MORE TRAFFIC.

WELL, WE REALLY NEED TO START THAT PROCESS WITH THE PUBLIC IN THIS BOARD, AS WELL AS OUR OTHER PARTNERS IN TALKING ABOUT WHAT THAT FUTURE COULD LOOK LIKE.

AND WHILE WE'VE DUBBED THIS THING VISION TWENTY ONE HUNDRED GETTING US UP TO TWENTY ONE HUNDRED. THE TRUTH IS, IS NOW THIS IS A PATHWAY FORWARD.

THIS IS STARTING TO PUT DOWN THOSE MARKERS AND SAYING THIS IS WHAT A TRANSIT VISION COULD LOOK LIKE. BUT A TRANSIT VISION ALL BY ITSELF IS JUST THAT, A VISION.

AND WITH US TO TURN IT OVER TO PETER, WHO'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE OTHER COMPONENTS THAT ARE GOING TO GO INTO THIS 21:00 PATHWAY.

THANK YOU, GREG. PETER GASE, SYSTEMS PLANNING MANAGER FOR THE BROWARD MPO.

I THINK WHAT GREG WAS DOING, HE'S REALLY TEASING SOMETHING THAT IS THE NEXT STEP BEYOND THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN LOOKS OUT TO 20:45, BUT WE'RE LOOKING OUT EVEN BEYOND THAT TO TWENTY ONE HUNDRED.

WE ARE TASKED FEDERALLY TO BE THE PLANNING AGENCY THAT LOOKS OUT INTO THE FUTURE.

WE'RE UNIQUELY POSITIONED BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL OF OUR CITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES REPRESENTED HERE, INCLUDING THE COUNTY, THE SCHOOL BOARD.

AND I THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE VENUE AND PLACE TO START HAVING THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW DO WE MOVE STARTING NOW? HOW DO WE MOVE TO TWENTY ONE HUNDRED AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WE'RE APPROACHING A CRITICAL MASS IN BROWARD AND WE'RE SOON GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SOME REALLY TOUGH DECISIONS.

AND I ALWAYS START OUT MY PRESENTATIONS ON THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN WITH A NUMBER 2.3 MILLION, WHICH IS THE PROJECTED POPULATION IN BROWARD IN 2045.

THAT'S 500000 MORE PEOPLE THAN WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

SO IF YOU TAKE THAT TREND LINE AND GO OUT TO 21:00, WE'RE WELL ABOVE 3 MILLION AND TWENTY ONE HUNDRED WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PUT ALL THESE PEOPLE.

AS GREG MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT NO MORE NEW NEW PLACES TO BUILD.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT WHERE WE DEVELOP AND HOW WE MOVE PEOPLE.

SO REALLY THIS VISION.

TWENTY ONE HUNDRED PLAN IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO START WORKING WITH YOU ALL ON AS A BOARD AND ALSO LOOK AT IT FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE, VETTING IT FROM A TECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE AND LOOK AT OUR TRANSIT SYSTEM, OUR HIGHWAYS.

I LOOK AT MOBILITY HUBS AND HOW WE MOVE FREIGHT.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, LOOKING AT LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN, I AGAIN LOOKING AT PLACES WHERE WE CAN INCREASE DENSITY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY WHERE THERE ARE APPROPRIATE PLACES TO DO THAT. HOW DO THE INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITIES WANT TO DEVELOP AND HOW DOES THAT WORK AS A BIGGER SYSTEM? AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY WE'VE BEEN WITH SOME OF THE OTHER STRESSORS THAT ARE UPON US, NOT JUST FROM A DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE, BUT ALSO FROM A CLIMATE CHANGE PERSPECTIVE.

WE'VE GOT SEA LEVEL RISE COMING.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT IN OUR DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS AND ALSO IN OUR TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS? AND FINALLY, HOW ARE WE GOING TO WORK AS A BOARD AND AS A COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THAT VISION? LOOKING AT IT FROM A PATH PERSPECTIVE, HOW DO WE GET THERE? AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT FROM A FUNDING PERSPECTIVE.

AND WE ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT IT FROM A COMMITMENT PERSPECTIVE.

AND THAT LAST PIECE IS VITALLY IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IF WE CAN'T ALL COALESCE AROUND A VISION AND COMMIT TO A DIRECTION THAT WE ALL WANT TO GO IN, WE'RE GOING TO BE JUST UNCONNECTED, MOTORIZED PARTS KIND OF GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

AND YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL THROUGHOUT THE NATION.

I'M THINKING OF LOS ANGELES IN THIS CASE, WHO'VE MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO SAY WE NEED TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE WAY WE'VE TYPICALLY BEEN DOING THINGS AND MAKE INVESTMENTS IN THE PLACES WHERE WE KNOW THAT WE CAN DEVELOP SUSTAINABLY AND WE CAN MOVE PEOPLE EFFICIENTLY.

SAN FRANCISCO IS ANOTHER ONE WHO, FROM A TRANSPORTATION PERSPECTIVE, HAS GOTTEN INTO THE HOUSING PIECE AS WELL.

THEY'RE USING TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS TO INCENTIVIZE WHERE PEOPLE BUILD.

AND THESE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE REALLY WANT TO ADDRESS AS PART OF THE VISION.

TWENTY ONE HUNDRED. AND IN APRIL, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LARGE REGIONAL EVENT WHERE WE'RE GOING TO NOT JUST INVITE ELECTED OFFICIALS, WE'RE GOING TO INVITE FOLKS FROM OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY, DEVELOPERS, NONPROFITS, TO REALLY START HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS KIND OF THAT GREAT TEASER MOVING INTO THAT.

YOU'LL START TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE VISION.

[01:55:02]

TWENTY ONE HUNDRED PLAN AS WE WRAP UP THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T SEE ANY IN THE QUEUE.

BOARD MEMBER SIMMONS. YOU JUST ALWAYS WANT TO SAY LET'S ALWAYS KEEP NORTHWEST BROWARD IN MIND. YOU KNOW, IT'S A VERY PRETTY PICTURE.

JUST MIGHT BE A STILL VERY DIFFICULT JOURNEY GETTING FROM EAST TO WEST.

RIGHT. SO ESPECIALLY IN THAT THAT BLOCK THERE.

SO I FEEL THAT I'M OBLIGATED TO, AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY, SPEAK ABOUT REMINDING EVERYONE TO BE MINDFUL OF NORTHWEST BROWARD COUNTY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

IT'S GREAT, AS ALWAYS. MR. GASE LOOKS LIKE.

NEXT IS THE MONTHLY FEDERAL.

STATE. BUT I THINK WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF DONE THAT OR MOVING ON, GENERAL COUNSEL'S REPORT. MR. CHAIRMAN, BOARD MEMBERS, I ACTUALLY NOW THAT WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN THE VOTE, I HAVE NOTHING TO ACTUALLY REPORT OTHER THAN.

OH, THANK YOU. WE HAVE MAINTAINED A QUORUM TO THE DISMAY OF THE CHAIR.

BUT IT'S JUST ANY QUESTIONS.

I'M CERTAINLY AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THOSE NOW OR AFTER THE MEETING OR ANYTIME.

THANK YOU. OK, PERFECT.

THANK YOU, SIR. THE NEXT IS THE MPO SIRTEX SERVICES UPDATE.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE ASKED MR. RIDDLE TO EXPLAIN IS I COUPLE OF COUNTY COMMISSION MEETINGS AGO WHEN I WAS WATCHING AND THEN THE ONE AFTER THAT, THERE WERE SEVERAL COMMENTS MADE ABOUT THE BOARD ACTION AND SIRTEX SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE FOR THE COUNTY.

SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE US AN UPDATE, I'D APPRECIATE IT.

OR. GOOD MORNING.

CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

ANDREW RIDDLE'S TECH SERVICES MANAGER.

AND I AM HERE TO PROVIDE YOU YOUR MONTHLY UPDATE AS A REMINDER.

THE MPO HAS BEEN TASKED TO REVIEW, RANK AND PRIORITIZE MUNICIPAL PROJECTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR LOCAL SIRTEX FUNDING FOR CYCLE ONE.

THOSE PROJECTS ARE TO BE TRANSMITTED TO BROWARD COUNTY STAFF BY MARCH 1ST.

JUST A REFRESHER, THE AIR LOCAL AGREEMENT REQUIRED THAT THE STAFF ONLY PRESENTS THE THE BASICALLY THE MPO BOARD AND THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND THE ADVISORY COMMITTEES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY ACTION TO PRIORITIZE THE EFFORTS ON CAMPUS.

SIRTEX SERVICES ON THE ISLAND DOES REQUIRE SIRTEX STAFF TO PROVIDE BRIEFINGS TWICE A YEAR TO THE MPO BOARD AND FOUR TIMES TO THE TCN S.A.C..

MPO FIRST TODAY AND SINCE OUR OCTOBER MEETING, WE HELD A WORKSHOP ON OCTOBER 23RD.

WE ALSO PROVIDE A UPDATE TO THE COMMITTEES ON OCTOBER 23RD AND WE COMPLETED ALL THE ONE ON ONE MEETINGS WITH THE CITIES TO DISCUSS THEIR PROJECTS.

SO AT THE OCTOBER WORKSHOP, WE IDENTIFIED THE RANKING CRITERIA, THE FIRST FIVE EMPLOYMENT AND POPULATION DENSITY ROADWAY LEVEL OF SERVICE ACCESS IMPORTANT TO TRANSIT AND CONNECTION TO EXISTING FACILITIES.

AND IT'S JUST A DELAY.

ALL RELATE TO THE ORDINANCE FACTORS OF LEADING CONGESTION AND ENHANCING CONNECTIVITY.

PROJECT PERFORMANCE WILL BE EVALUATED IN FUTURE YEARS.

ONCE THERE IS AN ESTABLISHED TRACK LINE AND THAT IS BASED ON HOW THE PROJECT IS BEING DELIVERED ON TIME AND ON BUDGET EQUITY BLAST TO EQUITY AND RESILIENCY DO NOT DIRECTLY RELATE TO THE AUDIENCE OR THE ISLAY, BUT WE FELT LIKE THEY WERE VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

SO THAT IS WHY THEY WERE INCLUDED.

BUT ALL OF THE CRITERIA ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE SEE SLOW PROCESS, WHICH IS ALSO REQUIRED BY THE EYELINE. SO RIGHT NOW WE ARE ON SCHEDULE.

WE HAVE A DECEMBERS FIFTH STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT MEETING THAT WE WILL BE GOING OVER THE SCORING METHODOLOGY.

WE WILL ALSO BE FINALIZING THE DEVELOPED DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRIORITIZATION TOOL.

IN DECEMBER, WE WILL ALSO START FIELD VISITS TO VERIFY THOSE TOP PROJECTS.

AND ALSO WE ARE AIMING TO HAVE THE DRAFT LIST OF PRIORITIZED PROJECTS TO JANUARY FOR THE

[02:00:04]

COMMITTEES AND TO FEBRUARY FOR THE NPA BOARD.

AND THIS SHOULD BE US ABLE TO MAKE THE MARCH 1ST DEADLINE TO THE COUNTY TO TRANSMIT THOSE PROJECTS. SO WHAT I THINK YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IS, OK, WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MARCH 1ST AFTER WE DELIVER THOSE PROJECTS TO THE COUNTY? SO HERE IS THE COUNTY FUNDING TIMELINE.

IN JANUARY, THE COUNTY WILL HAVE A WORKSHOP THAT WILL GO OVER THAT PROJECT AGREEMENTS APPROACH. OF COURSE, IN MARCH WE WILL BE DELIVERING THOSE LIST OF COUNTY PROJECT COUNTY PRIORITIZED PROJECTS TO THE COUNTY ON MARCH 26.

CYCLE ONE SURTAX PROJECTS WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD IN APRIL.

THE COUNTY SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET RESOLUTION WILL INCLUDE THE CYCLE 1 MUNICIPAL SIRTEX PROJECTS AND TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2020, WHICH IS THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR BUDGET ONCE THE COUNTY ADOPTS THE BUDGET.

THOSE PROJECTS ARE READY TO GO.

THE CITIES CAN START IMPLEMENTING THOSE PROJECTS AS SOON AS THE COUNTY APPROVES THEIR BUDGET. WE ARE KEEPING OUR WEB SITE UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE INFORMATION AT OUR LAST MEETING. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE ACTUALLY PROVIDE A LINK ON OUR HOME PAGE SO THAT WE CAN FIND THE START TAX PAGE A LITTLE BIT EASIER AND WE HAVE DONE SO.

AND ALSO ON OUR WEB PAGE, WE DO HAVE OUR STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT FLYER FOR THE DECEMBER 5TH MEETING THAT WILL GO OVER THIS SCORING METHODOLOGY AND ALSO THE PROJECT READINESS APPROACH. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. I DON'T SEE.

WE GOT ONE BOARD MEMBER KHAN.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, MR. RIDDLE. I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

BASED ON YOUR PRESENTATION, IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE ALL THE PROJECTS THAT YOU.

RECEIVE AND RANK, REGARDLESS OF RANK, ARE GOING TO BE FUNDED ONCE THEY ARE PRESENTED TO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD.

IS THAT TRUE? OR SOME COULD FALL OFF ONCE THEY GO FROM THE COUNTY TO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD, OR COULD THEY FALL OFF AT THE COUNTY? COULD THEY FALL OFF AT THE OVERSIGHT BOARD? THE ONLY OBLIGATION THAT THE MPO HAS IS TO DEVELOP THAT LIST OF PRIORITIZED PROJECTS AND FORWARD IT TO THE COUNTY STAFF AND THEN IT GOES TO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR THEIR RECOMMENDATION AND THEN IT GOES TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR APPROVAL.

SO WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WE FULFILL OUR OBLIGATION? SOMETHING COULD UNDER THE PROCESS YOU RECEIVE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PROJECTS, LET'S SAY WILL ALL ONE HAPPEN OR DISTRICTS? FIVE HUNDRED, WHATEVER THEN. HYPOTHETICALLY, IF YOU RECEIVE 150 PROJECTS, WELL, ONE HUNDRED FIFTY PASS FROM THE MPO OVER TO THE COUNTY.

THEY'LL ALL BE RANKED. I THINK WHAT? YES. WELL, THEY ALL TRAVEL REGARDLESS OF RANK.

THEY WILL TRAVEL TO TRAVEL IN THEIR RANKING OVER TO THE COUNTY.

BUT THEY WILL ALL MAKE IT OVER THEIR HEADS.

THAT IS OK. SO YOU DON'T PULL ANYBODY OFF BECAUSE OF LOW RANKING, YOU JUST APPLY THE RANK. THANK YOU ALL.

ALL FIVE OR SIX PROJECTS WILL BE RANKED AND PRIORITIZED AND THOSE PROJECTS WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE COUNTY.

THANK YOU. AND THEN WHEN THE COUNTY RECEIVES THAT RANKING, THAT RANKING LIST, WILL ANY WILL THE COUNTY BASED ON RANKING, WE'RE IN THE PUBLIC.

THIS IS MY CHANCE TO LET PEOPLE WHO ASK ME ALL THESE QUESTIONS THAT I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO GET THEM ANSWERED WHEN THEY THE COUNTY RECEIVED THOSE FIVE HUNDRED PROJECTS.

WILL ANY OF THEM BE TAKEN OFF BECAUSE OF RANK? I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO ASK ANDREW TO STEP DOWN FOR A SECOND AND BRING UP GRETCHEN CASINI, WHO IS TRULY RUNNING THE COUNTY SIDE OF THIS.

SO, GRETCHEN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT? THANK YOU, MR. RUDO. THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU, ANDREW.

YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB ON THE RIGHT NOW WITH THE SURTAX FUNDED NPR STAFF ARE DOING IS THEY'RE RANKING ALL OF THE FIVE HUNDRED AND THREE PROJECTS THAT WERE IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN TOGETHER. I'M WELL, BUT I I THINK THAT THE QUESTION WAS, WILL ALL FIVE HUNDRED AND THREE BE SENT OVER? AND THE ANSWER IS NO.

THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS THAT WILL BE SENT OVER FOR MARCH 1ST WILL BE THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS THAT ARE READY.

THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S AVAILABLE EACH YEAR.

THERE'S ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS AVAILABLE FOR MUNICIPAL PROJECTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE REFERRING TO IN THE SLIDES AS CYCLE

[02:05:05]

ONE. AND I'M GOING TO INTERACT.

GO BACK TO READY IF ALL ARE READY.

ALL WILL THEN GO OVER IT ALL.

FIVE HUNDRED AND THREE PROJECTS WERE ACTUALLY CONSIDERED COST FEASIBLE AND READY.

THEY COULD ONLY SEND OVER AS MANY AS ADDED UP TO A HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS BASED ON THE RANKING.

CROWDER YOU START FROM THE TOP, YOU CHART AND START DROPPING OUT OF 127 MILLION.

YES, THE REST OF THOSE WILL NOT GO OVER WELL.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE FOLKS AS THE NEXT YEAR'S FUNDING BECOMES AVAILABLE? ACTUALLY, THERE IS A FIVE YEAR PLAN THAT WE'RE ALL DEVELOPING TOGETHER COLLABORATIVELY THAT'S DUE ON JULY 1ST OF 2020.

NOW THE NEXT AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL ACTUALLY BE FIVE YEARS WORTH OF MONEY.

AND SO THE NEXT CYCLE IS A FIVE YEAR CYCLE AND THE MPO IS GOING TO SEND OVER FIVE YEARS WORTH OF PROJECTS UP TO WHATEVER THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S AVAILABLE.

LET'S SAY IT'S FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF PROJECTS.

OKAY. AND THE SAME PROCESS WILL JUST KEEP HAPPENING.

AND UNTIL THEY START THE PROCESS FOR NEW APPLICATIONS, WHICH STARTS ON FEBRUARY 1ST OF 2021, THEN MPO FUNDED STAFF WILL START SENDING OVER NEW PROJECTS.

GOT IT. SO WHEN MY FORTUNATE PROJECT THAT MAKES IT OVER THE FIRST TIME UP TO THE 120 SOMETHING MILLION GETS OVER TO YOU.

THEN YOU SAY THANK YOU.

MPO, WE HAVE THOSE THAT YOU SUBMITTED.

WELL, ANY FALL OFF, BEN, FROM THAT LIST, ONLY POUGH WILL FALL OFF.

I WILL NOT TAKE PROJECTS OFF OF THAT LIST.

AND THE ONLY WAY THAT A PROJECT CAN FALL OFF THE LIST ONCE IT GETS TO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD WOULD BE IF IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE INELIGIBLE, BECAUSE THE OVERSIGHT BOARD'S ONLY ROLE IS TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE STATUTE.

OKAY. AND SO NO ELIGIBILITY PRE-SCREEN FROM MPO BEFORE IT GETS TO YOU.

AND THERE WAS NO ELIGIBILITY PRE-SCREEN BEFORE THE MUNICIPALITY SUBMITTED THE PROJECTS.

OKAY. THE PROJECTS WERE ALL SUBMITTED.

THERE WERE VERY LITTLE WE HAD WE JUST SAID WHATEVER PROJECTS THAT ARE TRANSPORTATION RELATED. I GOT IT WANT.

SO WE DID NOT DO A STATUTORY ELIGIBILITY.

PRISCO ON DECEMBER 5TH.

WHEN YOU MEET WITH US, THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE GONNA DO THE HEARTBREAKING.

DECEMBER 5TH IS ACTUALLY, I THINK THE MPOS.

WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME IF MY HEART IS GONNA BE BROKEN, THAT I'VE PUT ALL OF MY CONFIDENCE THAT WHEN I GOT TO YOU, YOU PASSED ON.

SOMEBODY IS GONNA BREAK MY HEART IF I'M INELIGIBLE.

WHEN DOES MY HEART GET BROKEN? HEART GETS BROKEN BY THE OVERSIGHT BOARD WHEN THEY MEET ON MARCH 26.

AND I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT I'M INELIGIBLE BY MARCH 26.

I'VE PUT ALL MY HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS PROJECT, AND THEN I WON'T HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE 26 FOR YOU TO TELL ME.

THANKS, BUT IT'S INELIGIBLE.

I ALSO THINK THAT THAT'S THE WAY ORDINANCE IS DRAFTED RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE.

HOWEVER, THERE'S ALSO A CURE, PERIOD.

I MEAN, IF THERE IS IN IN THE ORDINANCE THOUGH, AND AND HOUR IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENTS, THE IDEA IS IF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD WERE TO DETERMINE THAT A PROJECT IS INELIGIBLE, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MUNICIPALITIES TO APPEAL.

EVERYTHING IS NEXTDAY LOGIC.

NO, IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT DEAD.

IT CAN IT CAN BE FIXED.

IT MIGHT NEED LIFE SUPPORT, BUT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.

YEAH, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT A LITTLE BIT.

BUT NO, I MEAN, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAL.

THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO.

I'M SORRY. TO CHANGE THE PROJECT SCOPE.

OKAY. SO THEN I MAKE IT PAST THE THREE HOURS IN THE THAT COMMITTEE, THE OVERSIGHT.

I MAKE IT PAST THERE.

AND SO MY PROJECT THEN IS IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET AMENDMENT.

SO THEN IT GOES TO THE. YES, TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION.

IT WOULD BE PACKAGED AS PART OF OUR OVERALL SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET REQUEST.

OKAY. AND THEN ONCE I'M COSEY IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET REQUEST, IS THERE ANYBODY WHO'S GONNA TAP ON MY DOOR AND SAY, YOU'RE NOT ON THIS FLIGHT? I WOULD NOT WANT TO SPEAK FOR THE POLICYMAKERS.

THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

I MEAN, I THINK I'LL LET THE MEMBERS OF THE NPR BOARD THAT SIT ON THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SPEAK TO WHAT THEY SEE AS THE PROCESS, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE SOME VOTING BY THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON WHAT YOU SUBMITTED TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL.

RIGHT. I SEE. I FEEL HIS EYES BEHIND MY HEAD.

HE'S WATCHING YOU THROUGH THE CHAIR.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE WANTS TO SPEAK.

HE HAD PUT IN, BUT THEN TOOK OFF.

OH, OK. I'M SORRY.

WE'RE NOT SURE IF I DIDN'T SEE YOU.

BOARD MEMBER SHARIF.

THAT'S WHY AM I TALKING TO THE OTHER WAY? GO FAR AWAY FROM ME.

OK. SO WHEN THE BROWARD COUNTY COMMISSION EMBARKED UPON THIS PROGRAM WITH THE CITIES, WE DID THIS IN FULL PARTNERSHIP.

AND SO FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TURN DOWN ANY OF THE PROJECTS THAT COME FORWARD THAT ARE LEGALLY QUALIFIED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS.

[02:10:06]

SO THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS THAT NONE OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE GOING TO BE VOTING. WELL, WE WILL NOT WANT TO VOTE AGAINST YOUR PROJECT, AND THAT'S NOT THE INTENTION. WE WERE TRYING TO APPROVE EVERYTHING THAT WAS LEGALLY SUFFICIENT FOR THE FUNDS TO BE USED ON.

THAT'S THAT'S OUR PERSPECTIVE.

OK. SO IF IT MAKES IT THROUGH, WE'RE NOT STOPPING IT.

IF WE HAVE MONEY FOR IT, WE'RE NOT STOPPING IT NO MATTER WHAT SIDE OF THE COUNTY IT'S LOCATED ON. LOVE TO HEAR THAT.

BOARD MEMBERS, THE ZAHEDI.

UNFORTUNATELY, EVERYONE'S GONE PRETTY MUCH THAT.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT. SO IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY OF A SMALLER CITY WITH A SMALLER PROJECT THAT ISN'T AS IMPACTFUL AS OTHER LARGER CITIES? IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT IT WILL NOT BE REACHED AND OR GRANTED? SO THE WHOLE YES OR NO QUESTION.

ALL PROJECTS ARE BEING PUT INTO THIS DATA DRIVEN TOOL AND THE RANKING PROCESS WILL BE BASED ON THE MERITS OF THE PROJECT.

SO WHERE YOU LAY AND THAT RANKED LIST IS HOW YOU'LL BE FUNDED.

IT WAS A YES OR NO QUESTION.

I APPRECIATE IT. I WORK FOR ATTORNEYS FOR A VERY LONG TIME, SO I I'LL TRY.

OK. IT'S YES OR NO.

I'M GOING TO SAY AND REPHRASE.

ASK YOUR QUESTION AGAIN. SO I.

SO HAVING WORKED WITH ATTORNEYS BEFORE, THE SMALLER CITIES THAT HAVE SMALLER, LESS IMPACTFUL PROJECTS.

IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY WILL NOT BE REACHED AS A RESULT OF THAT? I WOULD SAY NO.

THERE'S EVERY ONE HAS A POSSIBILITY.

BUT WE'RE KEEPING IT CLOSE TO WHAT SEE SLIP IS IN OUR EXPERIENCE, WOULD SEE SLIP.

IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

THE SIZE OF YOUR CITY THAT'S APPLYING FOR IT.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO STICK CLOSE TO THAT.

THAT WAS PART OF THE DIRECTION THAT WE GOT IN THIS PART OF THE ORDINANCE OF KEEPING IT CLOSE TO SEE SLIP AND SEE SLIP HAS NOT SHOWN A BIAS TO ALL.

IF YOU'RE A SMALLER CITY.

YOU'RE GONNA BE RANKED LOW.

WE ACTUALLY IT'S IT'S MORE ON MERITS OF THE PROJECT.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STICKING TO HERE.

WHEN WE'RE DEVELOPING THE EVALUATION CRITERIA, WE DON'T HAVE IT ALL RIGHT NOW OF HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK OUT BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA NOW TEST IT.

THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE IN.

BUT IF IT STICKS TRUE TO THE C SLIP, IT SHOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT ALL WHETHER YOU'RE A SMALL CITY OR A LARGE CITY.

AND I'M GOING TO RECOGNIZE BOARD MEMBER SHARIF BECAUSE I LIKE HER ANSWER SO MUCH.

OH, I WAS TRYING TO GIVE YOU THIS SIMPLE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, AND THAT IS YOU'RE THE PROJECTS AREN'T RANKED BY BIG OR SMALL, YOUR PROJECT DOESN'T FALL OUT BASED ON THE SIZE OF IT. IT'S GOING TO BE APPROVED OF.

IT'S LEGALLY SUFFICIENT FOR THE FUNDS TO BE USED FOR IT.

IT WILL FALL IN LINE IN THE RANKING.

IF WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FUND 50 AND YOURS IS 51, IT'S GOING TO GO OVER TO THE NEXT CYCLE OF FUNDING. AND SO IT WOULD EVENTUALLY BE FUNDED.

BUT IT'S NOT THAT IT'S NOT BEING FUNDED BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF YOUR CITY.

IT'S BEING NOT BEING FUNDED BECAUSE THEY RAN OUT OF MONEY ON THAT LINE OF 51.

IT'LL BE ROLLED OVER TO THE NEXT CYCLE OF FUNDING.

THAT'S ROLLED OVER. WELL, IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE.

THE RANKING CONTINUES, ISN'T THAT RIGHT, GRET? RANKING STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN? NO, I THINK I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO JUST CLARIFY THAT THERE IS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING RANKED BY THE MPO AND THE PROJECTS THAT ARE CONSIDERED REHABILITATION AND MAINTENANCE.

SO IT'S APPENDS ON THE PROJECTS BECAUSE THE WHOLE IDEA OF SEPARATING REHABILITATION AND MAINTENANCE PROJECTS FROM THE MPO PRIORITIZATION PROCESS WAS AT THE REQUEST OF MUNICIPALITIES. THEY DIDN'T WANT THESE SMALLER IMPACT PROJECTS TO WAIT UNTIL YEAR 40 TO GET FUNDED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T ALLEVIATE CONGESTION OR REDUCE OR CREATE CONNECTIVITY.

SO WE HAVE ON THE COUNTY SIDE A PROCESS THAT WE ARE IN IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING.

THAT'S THE WORKSHOP THAT ANDREW MENTIONED THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN JANUARY WHERE WE'RE

[02:15:02]

REALLY FOCUSED ACTUALLY ON EQUITY AND TRYING TO ADD BONUS POINTS FOR SMALLER CITIES AND AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DISTRIBUTING THIS FUNDING ACROSS EVERY MUNICIPALITY.

SO IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A MUNICIPAL REHAB AND MAINTENANCE PROJECT, IT'LL COME THROUGH A DIFFERENT PROCESS THAN THE MPO PROCESS.

THAT MAKES SENSE. SO IF IT IS ROLLED OVER, WILL IT START ALL OVER WITH THE RANKING SYSTEM? OR IT WILL BE BROUGHT UP? RIGHT. SO THE NBA IS GOING TO RANK ALL FIVE HUNDRED AND THREE PROJECTS THAT ARE CONSIDERED NEW CAPITAL.

SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A FULL RANKING OF ALL FIVE HUNDRED AND THREE.

AND AND THEN IT'LL JUST BE A MATTER OF HOW MUCH MONEY IS AVAILABLE IN ANY GIVEN YEAR AND THE REHAB AND MAINTENANCE PROCESS.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND SHARE WITH YOU IN JANUARY.

SO WHAT IF SHE WANTS OUR ANSWER? THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS, LIKE I SAID BEFORE.

IF YOUR PROJECT IS NUMBER FIFTY ONE AND WE RUN OUT OF MONEY ON 50, YOUR NEXT WHEN IT COMES BACK UP, YOUR RANKING ISN'T CHANGING.

THE PROJECTS ARE RANKED IN ORDER ONE TO FIVE HUNDRED AND THREE IF YOURS.

IF IT'S FIFTY ONE, IT STAYS FIFTY ONE AND WE JUST START WITH FIFTY ONE AND GO DOWN UNTIL WE RUN OUT OF MONEY AGAIN.

THAT'S ACTUALLY SIMILAR TO.

THAT'S ACTUALLY IDENTICAL. IT'S IDENTICAL TO HOW WE ACTUALLY FUND EVERYTHING EVEN WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

SO YOU MIGHT HAVE 700 PROJECTS AND OF THE 700 YOU CAN ONLY DO TWENTY FIVE.

THOSE TWENTY FIVE GOT FUNDED IN A FIVE YEAR PERIOD.

AND THEN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS YOU SEE THOSE THINGS MOVING UP.

GREAT JOB. AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT GRETCHEN SAID, WHICH I WANT TO MAKE SURE SHE ALSO UNDERSTANDS, IS THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT AS LARGE AS THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE FIVE HUNDRED AND THREE LIST THAT WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO GET THROUGH QUICKER BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE OF AN IMPACT, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE SMALLER PROJECTS, BUT THEY HAVE MORE OF AN IMPACT TO THE LOCAL CITY.

SO THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY, SO THEY WON'T BE IN LINE RANKING FOREVER. OKAY.

AND THE ONE LAST COMMENT I WANT TO ADD IN ADDITION TO THAT AND PRICE STEALING.

REMEMBER, FIRST THUNDER HERE IS THAT THE DEDICATION TO THE LOCAL IS 10 PERCENT, BUT THEY VASTLY EXCEEDED THAT THROUGHOUT THE WORK PLAN THAT THEY'VE CRUTE ARE CREATING RIGHT NOW.

BOARD MEMBER SEMMENS JUST WANT TO SAY FOR EVERYONE LISTENING, CORAL SPRINGS.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

BOARD MEMBER BLATTNER. WELL, JUST FOLLOW UP ON MY FRIEND, COMMISSIONER SHARIFS.

COMMENTS ON THIS RANKING THING IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

IT IS A REFLECTION OF THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT WENT INTO THE PROJECT AND ME AND WHERE THAT FITS WITH THE GOALS OF CONNECTIVITY, SO FORTH AND SO FORTH.

BUT SINCE HE'S HAD A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE MPO ON MAKING SURE THAT THE PROJECTS THEY'RE SUBMITTING ARE READY.

IF A PROJECT WAS SUBMITTED AND IT WAS TURNED OUT BY THE MPO, IT'S NOT READY.

ALL RIGHT. GET IT READY.

SO I WOULD GUESS THAT THOSE 500 AND SOME PROJECTS ARE HAVE ALREADY BEEN DETERMINED TO BE READY, BUT THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TAKES ANOTHER LOOK AT IT.

SO THE FUND FOR YOU WANTED TO MAKE SURE IS TWO THINGS, REALLY.

ONE IS THAT THE THERE IS MORE MONEY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME THAN ANYBODY CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPEND AT THIS POINT.

SO IF YOU REMEMBER MONTHS AGO, THEY SHOWED A GRAPH OF THE PROJECTED FLOW OF MONEY IN ONE YEAR. THERE'S RICHES.

THE NEXT YEAR THERE'S POVERTY BECAUSE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE SOME PROJECTS WILL SUCK UP MORE MONEY THAN OTHERS.

BUT OVER THE LONG RUN, THERE'LL BE MORE MONEY THAN THERE ARE PROJECTS AND CITIES HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED. I THINK I'VE SAID THIS AT EVERY MPO MEETING TO GIVE THOUGHT TO SOME INCREDIBLY OUT OF THE WORLD PROJECTS IN YOUR CITY THAT YOU WOULD NEVER IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO DO, BECAUSE IN THE SECOND FIVE YEAR CYCLE, IN THE THIRD FIVE YEAR CYCLE.

FILBY MONEY AVAILABLE FOR THOSE KINDS OF PROJECTS.

SO AND THEN FINALLY, I THINK, GRETCHEN, YOU SAID THAT I HEARD YOU SAY IN JANUARY, THE RANKING OF THOSE 200 AND SOME MAINTENANCE PROJECTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

I HEAR THAT CORRECTLY. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A WORKSHOP.

SEEK INPUT FROM ALL OF THE MUNICIPALITIES ABOUT PROPOSED CRITERIA SIMILAR TO WHAT THE MPO IS DOING ON THE OTHER PRIORITISATION.

WE WON'T ACTUALLY PRIORITIZE THE REHAB AND MAINTENANCE PROJECTS UNTIL WE GET A LOT OF

[02:20:04]

FEEDBACK AND BUY IN.

AND THEN THAT HAPPENS AFTER THE MPOS PROCESS.

SO THE MPO PROCESS ACTUALLY GETS FUNDED FIRST THROUGH OUR IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT AND THEN WHATEVER IS LEFT FUNDS THE REHAB AND MAINTENANCE PROJECTS EACH YEAR.

OK. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT CONVERSATION HAS FINISHED.

MOVING ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS HERE.

JUST CLARIFY ONE THING THAT THROUGH OUR ONE ON ONE MEETINGS WITH ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES, THERE HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED PROJECTS THAT AREN'T READY AND B AND THAT ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IS THEY DO NOT HAVE DISCRETE LIMITS.

AND IN ORDER FOR OUR ONLINE OUR SMALL TOOL THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE RANKING OUR PROJECTS, WE MUST HAVE DISCRETE PROJECT LIMITS TO IT, PUT IT INTO THE TOOL AND ACTUALLY GENERATE A RANKED LIST. SO THOSE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND HAVE BEEN KIND OF PUT ASIDE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BEING ABLE TO BE RANKED THIS CYCLE.

AND I'M GOING TO PUT IT IN LAYMAN'S TERMS. I WANT SIDEWALKS, OK? YOU PUT IT IN. I WANT SIDEWALKS.

WELL, WHERE ARE THE SIDEWALKS TO AND FROM? WHAT'S THE, YOU KNOW, ALL LOCATIONS AND ALL THE REST OF IT? SO IT ASKS ACTUALLY HAVE A DEFINED SCOPE.

RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

[1. Draft Commitment 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan]

GOING ON TO NON ACTION ITEMS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME THAT WE GET A PRESENTATION BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT IN DECEMBER.

THE DRAFT COMMITMENT. TWENTY FORTY FIVE.

METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

MR. D. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT. AND AS CHAIR, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

IT HAS BEEN A TWO YEAR PROCESS THAT STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 2017.

WE ARE NOW HERE IN NOVEMBER, TWO YEARS LATER.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO THIS PLAN.

AND I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOUR FEEDBACK TODAY.

THERE IS A DRAFT COST FEASIBLE LIST OF PROJECTS THAT IS IN THIS PLAN.

IT WAS VOTED ON BACK IN MAY.

WE'VE GONE AHEAD AND DONE SOME VETTING WITH ALL OF OUR MUNICIPAL PARTNERS.

SO THE FINAL LIST IS IN HERE NOW.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO.

THESE ALL THOSE PROJECTS AS WELL HAVE GONE BEFORE YOUR COMMISSIONS IF THEY ARE LOCATED IN YOUR RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS.

AND WE'VE RECEIVED RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT.

SO I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST TO RUN THROUGH THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, SINCE I KNOW WE'RE RUNNING UP AGAINST TIME.

BUT AS THE CHAIR MENTIONED, THIS IS THE FINAL TIME.

SO I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS GETS THE ATTENTION THAT IT DESERVES, BECAUSE THIS WILL BE OUR PLAN FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AND WE WILL BE ADOPTING IT AT THE NEXT MEETING.

SO VERY QUICKLY, THE DRAFT METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

IT INCLUDES OUR COST FEASIBLE PLAN AND ALSO ADDRESSES ALL FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS TO REFERENCE A CONVERSATION THAT WAS HAD AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MEETING ABOUT PERFORMANCE MEASURES. THOSE PERFORMANCE MEASURES ARE INCLUDED IN HERE BECAUSE THEY ARE A FEDERAL REQUIREMENT IN ADDITION TO A LOT OF OTHER LANGUAGE RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION, RELATED TO PROJECT PRIORITIZATION, MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE DONE THE PROPER OUTREACH WITH ALL OF OUR PARTNERS. THAT'S ALL DOCUMENTED IN HERE.

IT'S A RESULT OF A TWO YEAR PROCESS WHERE WE'VE COME AND GIVEN YOU MONTHLY UPDATES IN ADDITION TO OPPORTUNITIES AT KEY POINTS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS TO PROVIDE YOUR INPUT AND PROVIDE FORMAL VOTE.

SO TODAY IS A DAY TO GIVE YOUR TO PROVIDE COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK AND THAT WE DO HAVE A HARD REQUIRED ADOPTION DATE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE BLUE BOX ON THE BOTTOM HERE OF DECEMBER 12TH, 2019, WE ARE REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO HAVE AN ADOPTED UPDATED TWENTY FORTY FIVE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN ON DECEMBER 12TH.

SO THAT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT, THE NEXT MPO BOARD MEETING WHEN THIS ITEM COMES UP.

SO THERE HAVE BEEN SOME NPR BOARD ACTIONS TO DATE.

I MENTIONED THAT AT KEY MILESTONES, THE MPO BOARD, ALONG WITH A THC AND S.A.C.

HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

LAST YEAR, MAY 10TH, 2018, THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WERE ADOPTED FOR THE OVERALL PLAN THEY PROJECT. PRIORITIZATION WAS ENDORSED NOVEMBER 14TH OF 2018 AND THEN THEY DRAFT COST FEASIBLE PLAN APPROVAL WAS ADOPTED ON MAY 9TH OF THIS YEAR.

THE THREE REALLY KEY THEMES FOR THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED. THE FIRST ONE BEING SCENARIO'S.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT WE USE SCENARIO PLANNING TO HELP GUIDE THE OVERALL EFFORT AND IDENTIFY PROJECTS THROUGH 20:45. WE LOOKED AT A FIVE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS.

WE LOOKED AT A TREND SCENARIO, A COMMUNITY DIVISION SCENARIO.

WE LOOKED AT A RESILIENCY SCENARIO.

WE LOOKED AT AUTOMATED CONNECTED VEHICLES AND ALSO COMPACT DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

SO WE TESTED THOSE SCENARIOS, LOOKED AT SOME OF THE OUTPUTS, AND THAT HELPED THEM FORM US. THE SECOND PIECE, THE FUNDING, THAT IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST PIECE THAT WE LEARNED AND ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU AS A BOARD WITH RESPECT TO HOW THE FUNDING IS USED IN THE PLAN AND WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO US.

SO IN YEARS PAST, THERE'VE BEEN A LOT OF LOCAL PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED THROUGH THE LONG RANGE PLAN AND THOSE PROJECTS HAVE NOT BEEN FUNDED BECAUSE OF THE ABUNDANCE OF

[02:25:04]

STATE FUNDING THAT EXISTS FOR THE REGION.

AND THOSE THAT STATE FUNDING MUST BE USED ON STATE FACILITIES.

SO WHEN WE HAVE A TON OF LOCAL PROJECTS AND A PLAN WITH ONLY A VERY SMALL SLICE OF FUNDING TO FUND THOSE, THERE'S A LOT OF UNFUNDED LOCAL NEEDS THAT FALL TO THE WAYSIDE AND THEY JUST SIMPLY BECOME NEEDS.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO.

MAKE SURE WE WERE HIGHLIGHTING AS PART OF OUR TCN S.A.C.

OUTREACH THAT WE'RE HIGHLIGHTING TO THE BOARD TO MAKE SURE WE WERE GETTING PROJECTS THAT WERE CONSUMING THE DOLLARS APPROPRIATELY.

IN ADDITION, WHAT WE DID IS WE TRIED TO SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS A LITTLE BIT.

AN ESTABLISHED SIX FUNDING PROGRAMS, WHICH I'LL GO OVER IN A MOMENT, AND THESE WILL BECOME A FOUNDATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD THROUGH OTHER METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLANS.

LAST PIECE, PLANNING EVOLUTION.

THAT REALLY SPEAKS TO THE VISION.

TWENTY ONE HUNDRED EFFORT THAT GREG AND I SPOKE ABOUT A FEW MINUTES AGO.

WE'RE TRYING TO USE THIS PLAN AS A GOAL POST TO BEGIN PLANNING ALL THE WAY OUT TO TWENTY ONE HUNDRED. AND THIS IS ONE PIECE IN THAT PROCESS.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME ON THE MVP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

I THINK THE KEY TAKEAWAY FROM THIS SLIDE IS THAT AT EACH POINT IN THE PROCESS HAS BEEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE YOU AS A BOARD, WHETHER IT'S BEEN THROUGH A PRESENTATION OR TO ASK YOU FOR FEEDBACK AND VOTE.

WE'VE ALSO GONE OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

WE'VE HAD A AN INITIAL PHASE ONE OUTREACH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PLAN.

WE JUST COMPLETED OUR PHASE TWO OUTREACH LAST NIGHT WITH AN E TOWN HALL.

WE HAD OVER 4000 ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE CALL.

AND GREG, COMMISSIONER FOR COMMISSIONER CARR AND WE'RE ON THE CALL TALKING ABOUT HOUSING AND TRANSPORTATION. AND I THINK JUST GENERALLY GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT HOW THOSE THINGS ARE FUNDED AND SOME OF THE EFFORTS INTO THE FUTURE THAT MAY BE PART OF THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN OR LARGER REGIONAL EFFORTS.

WE ALSO DID SOME SURVEYS WHICH I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION ABOUT AT ANOTHER MEETING BECAUSE WE'RE RUNNING AGAINST TIME.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME REALLY INTERESTING FACTS THAT WE GOT OUT OF THOSE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT WERE ACTUALLY ENGAGED.

AND WE ENDED UP WITH 19 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO ANSWER.

SO THAT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS.

DEFINITELY BIG THINGS TO THE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT TEAM HERE.

AND I'M REALLY UNPRECEDENTED PUBLIC OUTREACH EFFORT FOR THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLANTS, OFTEN TOUGH TO ENGAGE PEOPLE ON THIS TOPIC.

BUT WE REALLY WENT OUT OF OUR WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS WERE BEING PROVIDED WITH THE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION, BUT ALSO GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AS WELL. THIS SLIDE YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN QUITE A BIT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FUNDING AND IS ALSO ONE OF OUR KEY THEMES, THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR THE LIFE OF THE PLAN.

$4.8 BILLION OF FUNDING IS COMMITTED CURRENTLY FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN REALLY STARTS IN YEAR 6 AND THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE THE OTHER TWO BLUE PIECES OF THE PIE.

THOSE THAT'S THE NEW CAPITAL FUNDING THAT IS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE FORTY FIVE MONTH METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN, 7.4 BILLION DOLLARS OF STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING, WHICH AGAIN CAN ONLY BE SPENT ON STATE FACILITIES, AND THEN $540 MILLION OF AVAILABLE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDING THAT IS FOR OFF SYSTEM FACILITIES.

SO THAT BECOMES A BIG KEY TAKEAWAY WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT PROJECTS WE CAN FUND AND HOW THAT REALLY DRIVES THE FINAL COST FEASIBLE LIST OF PROJECTS.

THE ITEM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT ON THIS SLIDE JUST FOR BREVITY IS THE LAST BULLET POINT THAT THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR DEVELOPING THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN WAS REALLY MAKING SURE THAT WE OPTIMIZE THE USE OF THAT $540 MILLION, THAT FLEXIBLE FUNDING, BECAUSE THE SEVEN POINT FOUR BILLION DOLLARS HAVE STRINGS TIED TO THE FUNDING.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE WERE ASSIGNING THE FIVE HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLION DOLLARS, WHICH COULD BE SPENT ON A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT CAN BE SPENT ON TRANSIT, THAT CAN BE SPENT ON ROADWAY, BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, ON OR OFF THE STATE SYSTEM, THAT WE WERE MAKING SURE THAT THOSE FUNDS WERE GOING TO THE RIGHT PLACES AND THE PLACES WHERE THEY WERE NEEDED THE MOST RESPECTIVE OF THE OTHER INVESTMENTS THAT WERE BEING MADE IN THE REGION. SO AS A BOARD, YOU ALL ADOPTED THIS POLICY FOR THE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS, 20 PERCENT OF FUNDING GOING TOWARD ROADWAY, REALLY TO FUND A LOT OF THE REMAINING OFF SYSTEM CAPACITY PROJECTS, 10 PERCENT GOING TO TRANSIT.

AND THE REASON WHY THAT NUMBER IS A LITTLE BIT LOWER IS BECAUSE OUR FUNDS CAN ONLY BE SPENT ON CAPITAL AND WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LARGE CAPITAL INVESTMENT BEING MADE RIGHT NOW BY THE COUNTY. AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS STILL SOME FUNDING THERE TO HELP COMPLEMENT THOSE EFFORTS AND HELP ALSO THE COUNTY LEVERAGE ADDITIONAL FEDERAL DOLLARS IN THE FUTURE. 50 PERCENT IN SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY AND THAT NUMBER AT 15 PERCENT REALLY HELPS DRIVE DOWN OR DRIVE HOME THE SAFETY COMPONENT OF THAT PROGRAM THAT WE WANT TO FUND SAFETY PROJECTS THAT IMPACT THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES THAT PAUL FLAVOURSOME WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. AND THEN THE LAST THREE REMAINING PROGRAMS ARE REALLY THOSE DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS WHERE WE'RE PROVIDING LOCAL ACCESS TO MPO DOLLARS.

AND IF YOU TOTAL THOSE THREE PROGRAMS UP, YOU'RE LOOKING AT 55 PERCENT OF MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDING. THAT IS GOING TO PROGRAMS LIKE SEAT SLIP, WHERE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO APPLY FOR FUNDING OR IN OUR COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN WHERE WE HAVE A CALL FOR PROJECTS WITH ALL OF OUR LOCAL

[02:30:03]

MUNICIPALITIES FOR THEIR LOCAL BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN NEEDS AND ALSO REGIONAL BICYCLING, PEDESTRIAN PRIORITIES AND FINALLY MOBILITY HUBS AS WELL, WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT MAKING SPECIFIC SITE-SPECIFIC INVESTMENTS TO HELP THE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN TRANSIT AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY AS WELL.

SO THIS IS ULTIMATELY WHAT THE FUNDING LOOKS LIKE.

A LOT OF FUNDING AND ROADWAY, THAT BLUE PORTION OF THE PIE IS THAT STATE FUNDING, SO IT AGAIN DRIVES HOME THAT POINT THAT THERE IS AN IMBALANCE RIGHT NOW IN THE FEDERAL FUNDING.

AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M ALSO GOING TO END ON ABOUT HOW WE FIX SOME OF THIS IMBALANCE. SO IN RECENT MONTHS, WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IS SINCE THE ADOPTION OF THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN, WE FIRST HAD APPROVAL OF THE DRAFT COST FEASIBLE PLAN.

I APOLOGIZE, I SHOULD SAY MAY TWENTY NINETEEN NOT APRIL IN SUMMER TWENTY NINETEEN.

WE WORK TO ESTABLISH PROGRAM READY PROJECTS WHERE WE WENT OUT, MET ONE ON ONE WITH ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES.

WE WERE AT COMMISSION MEETINGS WORKING WITH YOUR LOCAL STAFF TO PASS RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT FOR PROJECTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN AND ULTIMATELY SEPTEMBER 11TH. TWENTY IS WHEN RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT WERE DUE FROM OUR PARTNERS IN ORDER FOR A PROJECT TO REMAIN IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PROGRAM READY, WE WERE REALLY MAKING SURE THAT THOSE PROJECTS HAD AN APPROPRIATE SCOPE OF WORK, THAT THEY'D HAD THE PARTNER COLLABORATION.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF A PROJECT WAS PROPOSED ON ANOTHER FACILITY THAT THAT WAS COORDINATED WITH THE FACILITY OWNER HAD A GOOD COST ESTIMATE.

AND FINALLY, THE PIECE THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO US, MAKING SURE WE HAD A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT. SO I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN SUMMARY OTHER THAN JUST SIMPLY TO SAY THAT THIS AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ON YOUR SPARE TIME.

IS THAT THIS KIND OF GIVES A BREAKDOWN OF THE PROJECTS BY FUNDING PROGRAM.

SO YOU CAN SEE IN THE ROADWAY PLAN, WE HAVE A LOT OF FUNDING THERE.

THERE'S SEVENTY FIVE ROADWAY PROJECTS IN THAT PLAN IN THE TRANSIT BUCKET, BECAUSE ALSO WE CAN ONLY SPEND MONEY ON TRANSIT CAPITAL.

WE CAN'T NECESSARILY FUND OPERATING.

WE HAD SIX IDENTIFIED PROJECTS, ONE OF THEM BEING TRI RAIL ROLLING STOCK.

SO I KNOW THERE WAS A QUESTION ASKED ABOUT TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT.

THIS IS ONE WAY THAT THE MPO IS TRYING TO MAKE A DENT IN TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT AND HELP FUND SOME NEW ROLLING STOCK FOR TRI RAIL.

BUT THE POINT HERE IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE START ITEMS, THOSE ARE ALL THE PROJECTS THAT RECEIVED RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT FROM THE MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAD PROJECTS IDENTIFIED IN THE PLAN. SO EACH ONE OF THE PROJECTS IN HERE HAS BEEN SEEN BY YOUR LOCAL COMMISSIONS.

THEY'VE BEEN VOTED ON. AND YOU'VE ALSO RECEIVED WE'VE ALSO RECEIVED A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A PROJECT IN THE PLAN.

THE REMAINING PROGRAMS YOU CAN SEE HERE, SPECIFICALLY IN T-S SEMITONE, SAFETY.

THERE'S A LARGE CHUNK OF MONEY THAT'S BEEN SET ASIDE FOR SAFETY PROJECTS.

AND THEN OUR OTHER THREE DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE, THEY'RE EQUAL AMOUNTS, ABOUT 200 TO 300 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE LIFE OF THE PLAN THAT'S BEEN SET ASIDE FOR COMPLETE STREETS, MASTERPLAN AND SEE SLIP.

AND FINALLY, MOBILITY HUBS AT ABOUT 54 MILLION DOLLARS.

THE FINAL SLIDE THAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO END ON HERE FOR THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMPONENT IS OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

SO WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FUNDING PIECE THAT REALLY SPEAKS TO GUIDING PRINCIPLE NUMBER THREE AND NUMBER TWO, MAKING SURE THAT WE FIX THAT IMBALANCE.

WHILE THAT IMBALANCE CAN REALLY ONLY BE FIXED AT THE STATE LEVEL, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE WITH POLICY AND WE NEED YOUR HELP IN ORDER TO DO THAT.

WE NEED TO HELP UNLOCK SOME OF THAT STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING THAT IS SLATED FOR STATE ROADS AND SEE IF SOME OF THOSE DOLLARS CAN BE SPENT OFF SYSTEM OR CAN BE SPENT ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECTS AS WELL, NOT JUST ROADWAY CAPACITY PROJECTS, BECAUSE THAT CAN BE A DIRECT BENEFIT TO YOUR COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY IN A PLACE LIKE BROWARD WHERE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WE'VE HIT KIND OF THAT BUILT OUT STATUS.

WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE ANY MORE FUNDING FOR NEW ROADS OR THE SPACE.

I'M SORRY, WE HAVE PLENTY OF FUNDING.

WE DON'T KNOW. SO YOU HAVE THE SPACE TO BUILD NEW ROADS.

THE LAST TWO ITEMS GOT IN PRINCIPLE.

NUMBER ONE, WORKING COLLABORATIVELY, COLLABORATIVELY WITH PARTNERS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL IN THIS PLAN.

YOU ALL HAVE BEEN VERY INVOLVED.

YOUR STAFF HAS BEEN VERY INVOLVED.

AND IT'S REALLY LED TO A PLAN THAT HAS BUY-IN BECAUSE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THE PROJECTS IN SOME CAPACITY OR ANOTHER, EITHER HERE AT THE BOARD OR AT YOUR LOCAL COMMISSIONS.

AND FINALLY, IMPLEMENTING VISION TWENTY ONE HUNDRED THAT GREG AND I HAD DISCUSSED.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO END ON THAT AND AGAIN, KIND OF TEASE THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS PLAN.

LOOKING AT VISION. TWENTY ONE HUNDRED.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH YOU ALL ALONG.

YOU CAN SEE WE'VE STARTED PUTTING LINES ON A MAP.

WE WANT TO WORK WITH OUR COUNTY PARTNERS TO FURTHER DEVELOP THIS PLAN AND ALSO LOOK AT WHAT TYPES OF TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR BROWARD IN THE FUTURE AND WHAT LEVEL OF INVESTMENT WE NEED TO MAKE.

SO AS A REMINDER, YOU ARE GOING TO BE APPROVING THE MVP NEXT MONTH.

THAT DOES INCLUDE A COST FEASIBLE PLAN.

AND I WELCOME ANY COMMENTS AT THIS POINT ON THE PLAN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR I'M ALSO AVAILABLE BY PHONE OR EMAIL.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR. I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU.

[02:35:02]

THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS BY THE BOARD? WELL, SEEING NONE, THAT MEANS THAT THE PLANE'S READY TO GO, AS IS THE GOOD JOB ON THAT.

THANK YOU. THE LAST ITEM THAT WE HAVE FOR MEMBER COMMENTS IS A REPORT FROM PARTNER

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, CAROL. GOOD MORNING, BOARD MEMBERS.

SO I'M GOING TO BE USE MPB ANAE, IN SHORT, FOR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT STUDY.

I'M GOING TO SKIP THE AGENDA, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE SHORT AND TO THE POINT, WHAT IS THE P_D_A_ NEED STUDY? BY THE END OF THIS STUDY, WE WILL HAVE IDENTIFIED AND ENGINEERING IN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT TO BE FEASIBLE.

ALTERNATIVE THAT MEET THE PROJECT NEEDS.

IT IS THE SECOND PHASE OF A NORMAL TRANSPORT D.O.D TEACHER PROJECT WITH THE REMAINING PHASES BEING DESIGNED RIGHT AWAY AND CONSTRUCTION FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.

P.T.A. IS THE ONLY PHASE THAT IS FUNDED.

THE STUDY LIMITS WERE ALREADY MENTIONED IS ABOUT 17 MILES LONG FROM MY POST.
