BOARD MEMBERS. GOOD MORNING. I'M JIHONG CHEN WITH BROWARD MPO. IT'S THE TIME OF THE YEAR TO UPDATE THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS AN ANNUAL ROUTINE PROCESS FOR THE BROWARD MPO. TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS A FIVE YEAR PROGRAM, INCLUDING PROJECTS THAT REGION EXPECT TO BUILD OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THOSE PROJECTS INCLUDE HIGHWAY TRANSIT, RAIL, AVIATION AND SEAPORT, AS WELL AS BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN AND FREIGHT RELATED PROJECTS. TODAY, I'M PRESENTING FISCAL YEAR 2027 TO 2031 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE BOARD MPO'S CORE PRODUCTS. TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS ONE OF THE CORE PRODUCTS. THIS SLIDE SHOWS BOARD MPO PLANNING PROCESS BY FOLLOWING FEDERAL LAW THE BROWARD MPO UPDATES THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN EVERY FIVE YEARS BY FOLLOWING FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS. BOARD MPO UPDATES LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS AND THE TIP EVERY YEAR. PROJECTS IN THE MTP MOVE TO IOPP AND THEN MOVE TO TIP FOR IMPLEMENTATION. BY FOLLOWING FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS. BOARD MPO STAFF CREATE THIS TIP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. BY FOLLOWING THIS PROCESS. BOARD MPO PREPARES THE DRAFT TIP. STARTS 30 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, HOSTS PUBLIC MEETINGS AND TAC, CAC, BROWARD APPROVE THE DRAFT. THE FINAL APPROVED TIP IS SENT TO FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION, AND AFTER THAT, ON JULY 15TH, THE FINAL TIP TAKES EFFECT ON OCTOBER 1ST. BY FOLLOWING FEDERAL AND STATE REQUIREMENTS TO THE TIP. THE MPO RELEASED PUBLIC NOTICE ON NEWSPAPERS BOARD MPO WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE EIGHTH PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN THE BROWARD COUNTY ON JUNE 4TH, 2026. THIS SLIDE PRESENTS A SUMMARY OF THE PUBLIC NOTICE. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE TIP FOR THIS YEAR. THE TIP INCLUDES 363 PROJECTS. TOTAL FUNDING AMOUNT IS ABOUT $4.7 BILLION. THIS YEAR FDOT INCLUDES INTRODUCED INDIRECT COST. SO AMONG THE $4.7 BILLION DOLLARS $131 MILLION DOLLARS IN INDIRECT COST. WHEN YOU READ THE PRODUCT LIST IN THE TIP, A FACE WITH ENDING LETTER X. THOSE FACE IS SUPPORTED BY INDIRECT COST. [00:10:07] THOSE INDIRECT COST IS FOR THE FDOT STAFF IN-HOUSE SERVICES. FOR INSTANCE CONSTRUCTION PHASE CSX. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY INDIRECT COST. PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING PHASE PEX IS INDIRECT COST. THIS SLIDE PRESENTS FUNDING SUMMARY BY FUNDING SOURCE AND TRANSPORTATION MODE. THE CHART ON THE LEFT PRESENTS FUNDING AMOUNT AND THE RESPECTIVE PERCENTAGE IN TOTAL BY FUNDING SOURCE. THE TOP FUNDING SOURCE IS THE STATE. THE CHART ON THE RIGHT DISPLAYS FUNDING AMOUNT AND THE RESPECTIVE PERCENTAGE IN TOTAL FOR EACH TRANSPORTATION MODE. THIS TIP INVITES $143 MILLION OF BROWARD MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS TO SUPPORT 36 PROJECTS. ABOUT $64 MILLION IS INVESTED IN 29 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PROJECTS. LET'S TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT THE MAJOR PRODUCTS AND THE PROGRAMS IN THE TIP. BASED ON THE PRODUCT COST THIS SLIDE SUMMARIZES THREE MAJOR PRODUCTS. ONE IS THE WIDENING SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY. THE SECOND ONE IS INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG I-95. THE THIRD ONE IS INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENT ON F TURNPIKE AT COCONUT CREEK. THIS SLIDE PRESENTS OVERALL FUNDING FOR MTP FUNDING PROGRAMS. THE TIP INVESTS $4.4 BILLION TO SUPPORT 328 PROJECTS FROM MTP FUNDING PROGRAMS. THE BROWARD MPO STAFF ALSO MONITORS PROJECT PROGRESS. THIS SLIDE PRESENTS A NUMBER OF PROJECTS GRADUATED FROM THE TIP. ALL THE FUNDS HAVE BEEN SECURED BEFORE OR ON 2026. WE CALL THE PROJECT GRADUATED. NO ADDITIONAL FUNDS NEEDED. THERE ARE 28 PROJECTS GRADUATED FROM THE TIP, WORTH ABOUT $476 MILLION. AFTER THE BROWARD STARTED PUBLIC COMMENTS PERIOD, WE RECEIVED REQUESTS TO MAKE A CHANGE TO THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS. TURNPIKE REQUESTS TO ADD ONE GUARDRAIL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS TO THE TIP, AND FDOT ALSO REQUESTS TO CHANGE PROJECT LIMITS FOR TWO PROJECTS. THIS SLIDE PRESENTS THE CHANGE REQUESTED. TO ACCESS THE TIP ONE IS THE PDF FILE, ONE IS THE INTERACTIVE TIP TWO. SO YOU INTERACT. YOU CAN SEE THE MUNICIPAL REPORT ON YOUR DESK. WE PRINT IT FROM THE INTERACTIVE TIP TWO. YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS THE INTERACTIVE TIP TWO THROUGH THIS LINK AND ALSO ON THE BROWARD MPO'S WEBSITE. SO YOU CAN DOWNLOAD YOUR MUNICIPAL REPORT THERE. YOU CAN SEARCH THE PRODUCTS YOU WANT TO LOOK. SO TODAY WE ARE LOOKING FOR MOTION TO APPROVE THE TIP. WITH THAT, MPO STAFF AND FDOT STAFF ARE HERE IS READY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I DO HAVE ONE. SPEAKER MEMBER JAFFE. THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU, DR. FOR THAT PRESENTATION. I APPRECIATE IT. AND I ALSO WANT TO COMMEND THE ENTIRE STAFF OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS WITH THE INTERACTIVE ONLINE TOOL THAT YOU'VE IMPLEMENTED. IT'S REALLY USABLE. AND I GO TO IT A LOT BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS, THERE'S A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS GOING ON IN ALL THE DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES. AND IN WESTON, I GET A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKING ME WHY, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? [00:15:04] WHY ARE WE DOING THIS PROJECT? THEY SEE IT WHEN THEY'RE DRIVING EVERY DAY. AND THEN I TRY TO ALSO TOUCH ON THE POINT THAT A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS ARE NOT BEING PAID FROM LOCAL GENERAL FUND DOLLARS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY OR LOCAL PROJECTS. SO IT DOESN'T IT'S NOT BEING IT'S NOT IMPACTING THE GENERAL FUND OF THE CITY OF WESTON PER SE IN EACH INDIVIDUAL MUNICIPALITY. AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO GIVE TO THE RESIDENTS THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE MAJORITY OF FUNDING ARE NOT COMING OUT OF GENERAL FUND. AND ONE OF THE WAYS I CAN ACCESS THAT IS UTILIZE THE INTERACTIVE TOOL AND SEND IT DIRECTLY TO THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE ASKING ALL THESE QUESTIONS. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A $4.7 BILLION PROJECTION BALANCE FUNDING. AND SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THESE TOOLS AND THIS RESOURCE IS OUT THERE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE AND GIVE TO OUR CONSTITUENTS. AND THANK YOU AGAIN. THANK YOU. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION IN THE MUNICIPAL REPORT, THE SECOND PAGE OF THE REPORT THERE HAVE THE INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE MUNICIPAL REPORT SO YOU CAN START FROM THERE. THANK YOU, MEMBER JAFFE FOR YOUR COMMENTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. CERTAINLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT HAVE BEEN PUT INTO BRINGING THIS FORWARD TODAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS. SO IF WE CAN HAVE A VOTE ON THIS, WE DO NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. HARDIN AND LONERGAN, PLEASE VOTE. AND WE ARE GOOD. MOTION PASSES. OKAY, SO ON TO COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR. [7. Comments from the Chair] SO I DO WANT TO SHARE A COUPLE OF THINGS WITH YOU. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO OFFER CONDOLENCES TO COMMISSIONER ROGERS, WHO IS HERE TODAY. WHO HAS LOST HER MOM ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO AGO. SO OUR SINCERE CONDOLENCES, OUR LOVE AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THANK YOU. ALSO, I DO WANT TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD THAT THIS MORNING. THE EXECUTIVE BOARD MET AND WE DISCUSSED MOVING FORWARD WITH WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I SHOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, AS WE ALL KNOW GREG STUART IS RETIRING AND WE DO HAVE TO REPLACE HIM. WE KNOW THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE, IT COULD BE FAIRLY EASY. SO WE HAD A DISCUSSION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE EXECUTIVE BOARD WAS INTERESTED IN MOVING FORWARD WITH A NATIONAL SEARCH OR TO WORK ON I SHOULD SAY SPEAK WITH BRYAN CALETKA AND SEE IF HE IS INTERESTED IN ASSUMING THE POSITION THAT HE HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR ALL ALONG. HE HAS INDICATED THAT HE IS INTERESTED AND THE EXECUTIVE BOARD DOES NOT WANT TO DO A NATIONAL SEARCH AND WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEXT STEPS IN ORDER TO CONSIDER MR. CALETKA. SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. THE SIMILAR DISCUSSION WILL BE PLACED ON NEXT ON THE NEXT MEETING AGENDA FOR THE FULL BOARD TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AS WELL. OKAY. IN THE MEANTIME, I DO KNOW THAT MR. CALETKA WILL BE SPEAKING TO SOME OF THE MEMBERS FROM THE EXECUTIVE TEAM AND ANYONE FROM THE FULL BOARD AS WELL WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO HIM. YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH HIM IN ANTICIPATION OF THE DISCUSSION ITEM ON OUR NEXT MEETING IN SEPTEMBER. OKAY THAT'S IT FOR MY COMMENTS. NEXT WE HAVE. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMMENTS. NO MEMBER COMMENTS. [8. Member Comments Click here to submit a comment to go before the Board.] AND I DO HAVE A MEMBER WELCH. YOU'RE GOOD. THANK YOU CHAIR. I SENT YESTERDAY MEMBER COMMENTS REGARDING AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT IN THE TIP PRESENTATION THAT 29 OF THE 4.7 BILLION [00:20:03] PROJECTS ARE DEDICATED TO BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN. SO IT'S VERY TIMELY THAT WE TALK ABOUT THIS TODAY. AND WHEN I SUBMITTED MY REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION REGARDING STAFF HAD BROUGHT UP THAT THE E-BIKE AND E-SCOOTER AND ETC. TYPES OF CRASHES, WHETHER THEY ARE OF AN INJURY TYPE OR, GOD FORBID, A FATALITY TYPE, ARE BEING UNDERREPORTED BECAUSE EVIDENTLY THERE'S NO BOX IF THEY'RE REPORTED AS EITHER BICYCLES OR PEDESTRIANS. AND IN ORDER FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD AND HOPEFULLY GARNER SOME STATE LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT THIS NEXT SESSION, NEXT YEAR'S SESSION WE WOULD HOPE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET SOME ACCURATE DATA TO NOT ONLY PLAN AND STRATEGICALLY ADDRESS THESE AREAS IN WHICH THESE CRASHES ARE OCCURRING WITHIN OUR CITY AND OUR COUNTY AND OUR STATE, BUT ALSO TO REAP SOME REWARDS IN THE WAY OF GRANTS TO FUND THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS. AND OUR CURRENT DIRECTOR CAME BACK ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY. I WAS SHOCKED BEFORE I COULD EVEN CLOSE OUT MY WINDOW. HE SAID HE HAD ASSIGNED JAMES TO FURTHER LOOK INTO THAT, AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I THINK THE AFFORDABILITY OF THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES, YOU KNOW, PUTS ALL AGES, MOST ALL AGES, NOT MINE, BUT IN THE WAY TO GET AROUND. SO WE HAVE TO, AS A GROUP PLAN FOR THIS. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ANY COMMENTS YOU MIGHT HAVE. THANK YOU. MR.. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? CAN I BRING UP MR. CROMAR, PLEASE? OKAY. MR. CROMAR. GOOD MORNING. JAMES CROMAR WITH THE BROWARD MPO. SO I APPRECIATED THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THERE'S SOME NEW INFORMATION ABOUT TRACKING MICRO MOBILITY CRASHES. I BELIEVE FAZEL LAST MONTH PRESENTED THE SAFETY DASHBOARD AND IT SHOWED THAT AT THE STATE LEVEL THROUGH SIGNAL FOR THE SYSTEM TRACKS CRASHES THAT ARE BASED ON MOTOR VEHICLE, MOTORCYCLE, PEDESTRIAN OR BICYCLE. AND SO THE QUESTION COMES UP WHAT IS A SCOOTER? WHAT IS AN, YOU KNOW, AN E-BIKE? IS THAT A MOTORCYCLE OR BICYCLE? AND SO THERE'S NO GOOD WAY CURRENTLY TO TRACK THAT. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF PUSH OUR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE PART OF OUR COMMITTEE FOR THE SAFETY ACTION PLAN TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY TRACK CRASHES BASED ON THE TYPE OF SOURCE, BUT THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE CONSISTENT COUNTY WIDE INFORMATION. AND SO THERE WAS AN EFFORT TO GET A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND THEN BE ABLE TO ANALYZE AND COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS. AT THE STATE LEVEL THERE WAS A BILL THAT WENT THROUGH, AND I BELIEVE, RECEIVED UNANIMOUS SUPPORT THAT WAS TARGETING SOME OF THE MICRO MOBILITY AND E-BIKES, AND IT WOULD HAVE INCLUDED PROVISIONS FOR THE TRACKING OF MICRO MOBILITY CRASHES AS PART OF THESE CRASH REPORTS. AGAIN, IT RECEIVED UNANIMOUS SUPPORT AND THE GOVERNOR VETOED IT. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE FUTURE? SO AS THE COMMISSIONER WAS SAYING, IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION, IT COULD MOVE FORWARD AGAIN. IT ALSO OPENED UP THE POSSIBILITY FOR TAKING LOCAL ACTION, CREATING LOCAL TASK FORCES AND LOCAL INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS THIS. I THINK WE DO HAVE SOME OF THAT GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE CAN BE INCONSISTENCIES FROM ONE CITY TO ANOTHER AND A QUESTION OF ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE LOCAL INITIATIVES. SO WE LAY THAT OUT FOR YOU AS INFORMATION AND CAN TAKE GUIDANCE AND SOME OF IT IS IN OUR HANDS AT THIS LEVEL, SOME OF IT'S AT A HIGHER LEVEL, AT A STATE LEVEL. OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. IF I DO HAVE ONE MORE COMMENT, I'LL SEND THE LINK THROUGH THE DIRECTOR THAT STAFF DID PROVIDE LEGISLATION THAT WAS ENACTED IN NEW JERSEY LAST YEAR THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD MODEL FROM WHICH WE MIGHT BEGIN. AND I'M GOING TO BEGIN WORKING THROUGH OUR CURRENT STATE REPRESENTATIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHO OUR SENATOR IS GOING TO BE, BUT ANYWAY, TO TRY TO GET THE BALL ROLLING, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I'LL SEND IT THROUGH THE DIRECTOR. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT YOU WILL SHARE THAT WITH US. THANK YOU. MEMBER COOPER. YES, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I COMMITTED TO GET OUR ORDINANCE, AND IT HAD NOT BEEN FINALIZED YET BECAUSE IT WAS BEING VETTED THROUGH LEGAL. I'M CURIOUS THOUGH, 911 MAYBE WE COULD PARTNER WITH THE BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE OR THE CALL CENTER TO SEE WHAT KIND OF CALLS ARE COMING THROUGH AS FAR AS CRASHES AND SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, YOU KNOW, WITH THOSE CALLS, IF THEY HAVE THAT CAPABILITY TO SEE WHAT CALLS ARE SERVICE, [00:25:05] TO SEE WHAT WOULD TRIGGER THAT, BECAUSE IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE AN EMS CALL IF SOMEBODY WAS INJURED. JAMES CROMAR AGAIN, SOME OF THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE. THE CRASH REPORTS HAVE CERTAIN BOXES THAT THE REPORTING OFFICERS CAN CHECK OFF, AND THEN THEY CAN ALSO PROVIDE A NARRATIVE. SO THE BOXES THAT THEY CHECK OFF DON'T NECESSARILY CALL OUT THE MICRO MOBILITY. AND IT'S A JUDGMENT CALL OF, AGAIN, AS A SCOOTER OR AN E-BIKE. IS THAT A MOTORCYCLE OR BICYCLE? HOWEVER IT GOES, THE CRASH REPORTS CAN HAVE MORE INFORMATION. AND AGAIN, AT THE TRAUMA CENTERS, THEY ARE RECORDING SOME OF THAT INFORMATION. IT'S JUST NOT CURRENTLY IN A CONSISTENT BASIS COUNTY WIDE. AND SO WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD, ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOK AT IS WE TRY TO ANALYZE DATA IS A CONSISTENT, REPLICABLE DATA SET THAT'S RELIABLE. AND WE HAVE PIECES OF IT, BUT IT'S NOT THERE YET. SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE STATE THE LEGISLATIVE EFFORT WOULD HAVE PROVIDED FOR THAT. AND IT STILL CAN IN THE FUTURE. BUT IT DOESN'T NOW. BUT BUT WE'RE STILL EXPLORING THOUGH, THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW, WHAT THOSE CRASHES ARE. IT'S AND I'LL GET YOU GUYS. THERE'S A LOT OF DATA. IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF HOW DO WE MAKE SENSE OF IT? THANK YOU, MEMBER ROGERS. THANK YOU MADAM. YOU SHOULD BE ON. SHOULD BE ON. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, YES. BEAUTIFUL. OKAY. I'M ALWAYS A LEADER. SO I'M THINKING THAT THE BROWARD LEAGUE OF CITIES COULD MAKE THIS AN AGENDA ITEM AND TAKE THE LEAD ON BEHALF OF ALL OF THE CITIES. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT IS MY SUGGESTION. THOSE OF US WHO SERVE ON THE. YES, THEY CAN MAKE IT PART OF THEIR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA. WE CAN GET INFORMATION FROM THE CURRENT DOCUMENT THAT WAS NOT SIGNED BY OUR GOVERNOR. WE CAN TAKE INFORMATION FROM THAT BECAUSE WE KNOW OUR REPRESENTATIVES WANTED IT. SO WE HAVE INFORMATION AND WE CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE. RIGHT. THAT'S MY SUGGESTION. THANK YOU. CAN WE GET CONSENSUS TO TO DO THAT OR DO WE NEED ANYTHING ELSE? YOU DON'T NEED ANY IF THAT'S YOUR DIRECTION. YEAH. WELL WE'D LIKE FOR THE DIRECTOR STUART TO GO AHEAD AND REACH OUT TO THE LEAGUE AND. HAPPY TO TALK TO THEM. TO SHARE THAT WITH THEM. TRY AND GET IT ON THE AGENDA. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENT. I HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO TRY THIS AND SEE HOW THIS WORKS. [9. Executive Director’s Report] ARE WE READY? IT'S GOING TO WORK. WE HAVE A VIDEO WITH AUDIO. YEAH. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO DANCE. WELL [LAUGHTER]. PARKS, BUSINESSES, AND THE PLACES THAT MATTER MOST. BEHIND MANY OF THOSE JOURNEYS IS A VISION DECADES IN THE MAKING. FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS, THE BROWARD MPO HAS WORKED WITH PARTNERS ACROSS THE REGION TO PLAN, FUND AND ADVANCE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS THAT KEEP BROWARD MOVING FORWARD. THROUGH THE ROADS FOR FAMILIES PROGRAM THE BROWARD MPO IS IMPROVING TRANSPORTATION FROM BIKE LANES AND SIDEWALKS TO MULTI-USE PATHS AND RAISED INTERSECTIONS. THESE INVESTMENTS CREATE SAFER, MORE CONNECTED COMMUNITIES. TRANSPORTATION IS ABOUT MORE THAN ROADS. IT'S ABOUT CONNECTING PEOPLE TO OPPORTUNITY AND IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES. OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, THAT VISION HAS BECOME REALITY. THE BROWARD MPO HELPED DELIVER 46 ROADS FOR FAMILIES PROJECTS THROUGHOUT BROWARD COUNTY, TOTALING MORE THAN $964 MILLION IN TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS AND MORE THAN 112 MILES OF MOBILITY, SAFETY AND CONNECTIVITY IMPROVEMENTS. BUILDING RESULTS AND DELIVERING IMPACT FOR RESIDENTS ACROSS THE REGION. AND THE WORK CONTINUES OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. 35 ADDITIONAL PROJECTS ARE PROGRAMMED, REPRESENTING $89 MILLION IN FUTURE TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS. FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS ALONG NORTHWEST 27TH AVENUE, THE C 13 CANAL MULTI-USE PATH AND MIRAMAR PARKWAY WILL CONTINUE EXPANDING THE BROWARD MPO VISION OF THE ROADS FOR FAMILIES PROGRAM. LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD, THE BROWARD MPOS VISION EXTENDS TO 2050. BEYOND THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THE BROWARD MPO PLANS TO INVEST OVER HALF $1 BILLION IN 60 IDENTIFIED ROADS FOR FAMILIES PROJECTS, CREATING SAFER TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS, STRONGER CONNECTIONS AND GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. IN 1977, THE BROWARD METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION STARTED TO PLAN AND FUND TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY. [00:30:08] IT'S MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES, BUT THAT DIFFERENCE CONTINUES ON FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS AS WE PLAN, PROGRAM, AND BUILD THE NEXT SET OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL LEAD YOU TO THE 21ST CENTURY. YAY! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WEREN'T HERE LAST MONTH, WE HAD ANOTHER VIDEO THAT WAS THERE THAT WAS NO SOUND WHATSOEVER. AND BRYAN AND I WERE GOING TO DO A DUET, BUT LUCKILY WE DIDN'T DO THAT EITHER. JUST LIKE DANCING, THAT'S NOT GOING TO PROBABLY WORK WELL. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. WE COULD DO DANCING WITH THE STARS WITH ALAN. GOT TO BRING THE ATTORNEY IN. THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, TODAY YOU JUST DID SOMETHING PRETTY AMAZING AND I DIDN'T THERE WASN'T A LOT OF COMMENT. YOU KNOW, IT'S ALMOST $5 BILLION THAT YOU PASSED. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. AND EVERY YEAR IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE AND A LITTLE BIT MORE AND A LITTLE BIT MORE, EVEN THROUGH THE HARD TIMES THAT WE'VE HAD. WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO DO A LOT OF PROJECTS, AND YOU DON'T REALIZE IT BECAUSE YOU SEE INCREMENTALLY WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN ONE OF YOUR COMMUNITIES. BUT ACTUALLY THE OVERALL LAYOUT OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH IS AMAZING. THAT SAID, WE ALSO WENT FROM NUMBER TWO IN THE NATION AS FAR AS THE NUMBER OF PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FATALITIES AND CRASHES THAT WE HAD HERE IN FLORIDA, AND PARTICULARLY MIAMI DADE, BROWARD AND PALM BEACH, AND NOW WE RANK AT 17. WE'RE NOW RANKED DOWN AT 17TH. WHEN I STARTED WE WERE TWO. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF EFFORT THAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER. I CAN TELL YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DRAGGED ON EITHER SIDE WITH, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON IN MIAMI. HOWEVER, THAT SAID, WE DID A LOT OF WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ACTUALLY LOWERED OUR NUMBER BECAUSE STATISTICALLY YOU DON'T WANT TO BE NUMBER ONE, NUMBER TWO, NUMBER THREE, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE NUMBER FIVE. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE 17. IT'D BE NICE TO BE 50TH. BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE. AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF BUDGETS THAT YOU JUST PASSED WITH THE PROJECTS THAT WE KEEP DOING TO IMPROVE SAFETY IN OUR COMMUNITIES. AND THAT TO ME IS SUPER IMPORTANT. IT'S A LEGACY FOR ME TO LEAVE THIS PLACE BETTER THAN I FOUND IT. AND I THINK THAT ALL OF YOU, WE'RE DOING THAT. AND THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE CAN CARRY FORWARD FOR THAT NEXT GENERATION. BRYAN. OH, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY. BRYAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HOW MUCH IS IT? 17 MILLION. RIGHT? YUP. WE HAVE THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR A $17 MILLION GRANT FOR OUR AI SYSTEMS AND OPERATIONS. ALSO CALLED SMART METRO. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE LIKELY MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT. WE'VE LOOKED TO PARTNER WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO DO THE 20% MATCH, AND WE MAY ALSO PARTNER WITH THE STATE DEPENDING ON YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE GOVERNOR'S RACE. BUT THAT SAID, I THINK WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON TO BE VERY PROUD OF AS AN AGENCY INTO THE FUTURE. AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE INNOVATION AS WE GO FORWARD. MOST IMPORTANTLY, ON OUR SIDE OF THE TABLE, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AI, IT IS NOT TO REPLACE HUMAN BEINGS. IT IS TO ENHANCE THEIR ABILITIES AND ACTUALLY MAKE SURE THAT THINGS MOVE FORWARD. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE A DOG SITTER AND PHENOMENAL GUY, LIVES UP IN NORTH CAROLINA, COMES DOWN TO TAKE CARE OF MY THREE PUPPIES WHEN I'M OUT OF STATE. AND HE AND HIS WIFE ENDED UP LOSING THEIR JOBS TO AI. WHICH IS NOT THE INTENTION THAT WE EVER WANT TO MAKE SURE. SO IF SOMEBODY TALKS TO YOU ABOUT AI, MAKE SURE YOU ASK THEM, HOW ARE YOU HANDLING THE HUMAN FACTOR? BECAUSE THE HUMAN FACTOR ISN'T TO BE ELIMINATED. THEY NEED TO BE THERE BECAUSE IT'S WHAT KEEPS EVERYTHING BALANCED. THE COMPUTER CAN'T BE RELIED TO DO EVERYTHING. AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO BE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. NEXT WEEK PRESENTING OUR SMART METRO PROGRAM AT US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WITH OUR PARTNERS AT AMPO, WHICH IS THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS WELL AS DELOITTE, WHO WAS OUR PRIMARY PARTNER IN BUILDING THE STRUCTURE. WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF GOOD CONVERSATIONS WITH MPOS AROUND THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE FIVE PRINCIPAL MPOS THAT ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH ADOPTING OUR SMART METRO PLATFORM IN ITS CURRENT CONFIGURATION, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE AGENDA ITEMS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING. GOD BLESS YOU. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS, BRINGING FORWARD AGREEMENTS WITH AMPO BECAUSE THE PROJECT ITSELF, WHEN WE DEVELOPED THE SMART METRO PLATFORM, WE DEVELOPED IT BROWARD SPECIFIC. IT GREW TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS NO LONGER BROWARD SPECIFIC. IT IS A NATIONAL INFLUENCE. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING THE PROGRAMING OF MAINTAINING EVERYTHING UP TO THE ASSOCIATION [00:35:03] LEVEL IN WASHINGTON, D.C. SO THAT WAY ALL MPOS AROUND THE COUNTRY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE PLATFORMS THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED HERE. I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR ALLOWING ME AND THIS AGENCY TO DEVELOP THIS. AND ACTUALLY, THERE'S A NATIONAL BEST PRACTICE. BUT NOW, AS A NATIONAL DESIRE FOR ALL THESE OTHER MPOS AROUND THE COUNTRY TO UTILIZE THE PLATFORM IS, YOU KNOW, A GREAT HONOR. AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED. THE CHAIR AND I, AS WELL AS A COUPLE OTHER MEMBERS, ARE ALSO GOING TO BE HOPEFULLY GOING DOWN TO PANAMA NEXT MONTH TO MEET WITH PANAMA CITY ON THEIR PEDESTRIAN PROGRAM THAT THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING IN PLACE TO BRING THAT BACK SOME BEST PRACTICES OUT OF CENTRAL AMERICA TO SAY THIS IS STUFF THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO HERE IN FLORIDA. SIMILAR CLIMATE, NOT NECESSARILY THE TOPOGRAPHY, BUT SIMILAR CLIMATES TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH AND TRY TO HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS MOVING FORWARD WITH DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WE CAN BUILD IN THE NEXT 15, 20 YEARS. AND WITH THAT, I THANK YOU AGAIN. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME CONSIDERATIONS TO DEAL WITH. YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM BRYAN. HE'S GOING TO SET UP APPOINTMENTS, HOPEFULLY WITH ALL OF YOU. AND IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN TALKING TO BRYAN, JUST LET HIM KNOW. THAT'LL BE FINE TOO. I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED IN TALKING TO BRYAN. I FIND HIM VERY HUMOROUS. HE HAS DRY SENSE OF HUMOR. AND BY THE WAY, COMMISSIONER WELCH YOU KNOW, WHEN I DID PICK, YOU KNOW, IMMEDIATELY I WAS ACTUALLY WORKING ON A PET PROJECT AT THAT VERY MOMENT. SO IT WAS PERFECTLY TIMED YOUR EMAIL. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AS WELL. BUT I'D BE SURPRISED. SOMETIMES I RESPOND VERY QUICKLY GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE BUDGET AND WHAT WE DO. WITH THAT, THANK YOU. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON WHERE WHAT IS GOING ON OR WHERE WE'RE HEADED OR ANY TYPE OF PROJECTS LET ME KNOW. WE CAN DO THAT NOW OR PRIVATELY. AND THEN ALSO CELEBRATE TWO GRANT WINS, ONE AT PORT EVERGLADES, WHICH IS ACTUALLY TO STUDY AN ENTRANCE INTO PORT EVERGLADES OFF OF GRIFFIN ROAD. IT'S A PLANNING STUDY. YOU KNOW, I LIKE CAPITAL PROJECTS. I LIKE BUILDING THINGS WITH FEDERAL DOLLARS. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN GET THAT STUDY DONE QUICKLY. AND THEN THE OTHER IS ACTUALLY FOR THE CITY OF PLANTATION. CONGRATULATIONS. YOU GOT THE BUILD GRANT FOR $7 MILLION. THAT WAS TO CONNECT 595 AND MIDTOWN TOGETHER. SO THERE'LL BE ANOTHER ENTRANCE EXIT OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS HEADING EAST OR WESTBOUND OUT OF THE MIDTOWN AREA. AND THAT AREA BACKS UP TERRIBLY, HAVING PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN THAT ALMOST WEEKLY. SO YES, REALLY, CONGRATULATIONS TO THAT. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THAT PROJECT MAYBE UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN A WITHIN A YEAR THAT WOULD BE NICE. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF MEMBERS HERE. TRANTALIS. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING GREG. GOOD MORNING. SO A COUPLE THINGS SINCE YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT WHETHER WHAT THE STATUS ON SOME PROJECTS ARE, WHERE ARE WE WITH? THERE ARE A COUPLE QUESTIONS I HAVE. WHERE ARE WE WITH REGARD TO THE UNDERPASS PROJECT THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING WITH REGARD TO? IS JAMES HERE? YES, HE STILL IS. THAT'S GOOD. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THE, WHEN OUR FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A REPORT AS TO THE FEASIBILITY OF THAT TYPE OF PROJECT. GOOD MORNING, JAMES CROMAR. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MAYOR. WE HAD A MEETING YESTERDAY AND OUR REVIEWING THE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES FOR EACH OF THE FIVE CROSSING AREAS. WE HAD PUBLIC MEETINGS OVER THE THE EARLIER PART OF THE YEAR ONE MEETING FOR EACH OF THE FIVE CROSSINGS. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR, IT'S LOOKING AT THE CROSSINGS AT DAVIE BOULEVARD, BROWARD BOULEVARD, SISTRUNK BOULEVARD, ANDREWS AVENUE AND SUNRISE BOULEVARD, AND EXPLORING THE OPTIONS FOR A GRADE SEPARATION OF THE AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC TO GO UNDER THE RAILROAD TRACKS, BUT THEN ALSO SOME NEAR-TERM IMPROVEMENTS THAT MIGHT ENCOURAGE DIFFERENT CONNECTIVITY IN THAT AREA. SO WE'VE DEVELOPED THOSE ALTERNATIVES TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITIES ARE NOW CURRENTLY DOING THE ANALYSIS OF THOSE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH OF THE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES FOR EACH CROSSING. WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE FORWARD TO RECOMMEND FOR MOVING FORWARD. WE WANT TO COORDINATE WITH THE AGENCIES AT FDOT, BROWARD COUNTY TALK TO OUR PARTNERS THAT THE OWNERS OF THE FEC RAIL CORRIDOR, AND THEN ARRANGE SOME MEETINGS WITH THE YOU AS THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSIONER.

LIKE BY JUNE OR BEFORE THAT MARCH. BEFORE THAT. OKAY. YEAH. SO, SO SO THESE MEETINGS THAT ARE COMING UP IN THE LATE SUMMER, EARLY FALL ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY MUCH HAVING THE GIST OF THE INFORMATION. IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF GOING THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE REVIEWS AND GETTING FEEDBACK. AND WILL THIS INCLUDE A COST ANALYSIS AS WELL? YES. OKAY. TIMING MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC DURING CONSTRUCTION. THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION WE'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU. OKAY, GREAT. GREAT. THANK YOU.

THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE TO THE CONTRACT. IT WAS OKAY, WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. WE HAVE SOME PRELIMINARY WORK THAT WAS DONE. WE SENT IT BACK. IT'S BEEN REVIEWED. IT WAS REDONE. THEY HAVE SOME MORE WORK TO COME AND FINISH A POLISH UP, BUT IT'S MOVING A LITTLE FASTER THAN PROBABLY THE UNDERPASS STUDY, BUT NO, IT'S. I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED BY NOW. NO, THEY ACTUALLY. OVER A YEAR. THAT CONTRACT ACTUALLY EXPIRES IN JULY OF THIS NEXT YEAR WE'RE IN. JULY OF WHAT YEAR. OF 20TH MARCH. MARCH OF NEXT YEAR. SORRY, MARCH OF NEXT YEAR. YES. OKAY. ALRIGHT. GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? WE HAVE ONE MORE MEMBER, MEMBER ROGERS. I'M GOING TO JUST ASSUME THAT YOU GUYS CAN HEAR ME. I'M ACCUSTOMED TO SOME FUNNY LIGHTS POPPING UP ON THESE INSTRUMENTS. THERE'S NO LIGHTS HERE TO TELL ME. WE CAN HEAR YOU. YOU CAN HEAR ME. COMMISSIONER JUST TO SHARE WITH YOU, I WAS VOTED DOWN BY STAFF, BUT ORIGINALLY I ACTUALLY WANTED THE LIGHT TO COME DOWN ON YOU WHEN YOU'RE. [LAUGHTER] SO THEY SAID, THAT'S TOO MUCH LIKE A GAME SHOW. BRYAN DON'T LISTEN, DON'T LISTEN. ALRIGHT. DON'T FORGET, I HAVE A VOTE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I RECALL CONVERSATION ABOUT WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ROCK ISLAND AND WHETHER OR NOT THE TURNPIKE AND WHATEVER IMPROVEMENTS WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING OR ENCOURAGING. AND JUST WANTED TO SEE THE STATUS ON THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THE CITIES IN THAT AREA, THEY'RE VERY ACTIVE IN HOW THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND REZONING AND ALL OF THAT. SO THERE'S, THERE'S EXPECTATION THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME TRAFFIC ISSUES. JUST WONDERING WHERE WE WERE ON THAT. GOING TO SEE. WE HAVE TURNPIKE PEOPLE HERE, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ABLE TO BE PUT ON THE SPOT. CAN YOU? OH YES. THEY'RE ALWAYS PREPARED. WHEN THEY'RE HERE. OH YEAH. OH THEY'RE HERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GREAT QUESTION. VICTORIA WILLIAMS, THE MPO LIAISON ADMINISTRATOR. OUR PROJECT MANAGERS ARE THE ONES THAT WILL HAVE THOSE KIND OF DETAILS. I APOLOGIZE. I WANT TO GIVE YOU THAT INFO RIGHT THIS SECOND, BUT I'D LIKE TO GET BACK WITH YOU THROUGH THE CHAIR IF POSSIBLE. AND WE'LL BRING THAT THROUGH WITH THE MPO AND TALK MORE ABOUT THE FULL IMPACT OF WHAT'S BEING PLANNED THERE. OKAY. SO ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO THAT WILL BE ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING, MADAM CHAIR. YES, WE CAN DO THAT. PUT IT ON THE SEPTEMBER MEETING. YEP. WE CAN PUT IT ON THE SEPTEMBER MEETING. AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET THEM TO WRITE SOMETHING UP SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING A LITTLE SOONER. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT OVERPASS ON THERE WERE CONSIDERATION. THERE WAS SOMETHING BEING DISCUSSED ABOUT OAKLAND PARK AND 441 AND HOW THAT LEFT TURN GOING WEST. MEMORIES HERE. OKAY? I'M TRYING NOT TO RELY ON THAT ALONE. SO WHERE ARE WE WITH THAT? IS THAT NO MORE? WHAT CAN WE SAY TO OUR CITY? I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S STILL SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING WITH THE STATE AND FDOT TO DEAL WITH. YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD SOME BUDGETARY ISSUES AT THE STATE LEVEL WITH WHAT THE DOT HAS AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT. HOWEVER THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK OUR WAY AROUND THAT. IT MAY BE ANOTHER 4 OR 5 YEARS BEFORE THEY. OKAY. THE MONEY PUT TOGETHER TO KIND OF ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT WE ALL SHARE ON THAT ONE. [00:45:06] ALL RIGHT. OKAY. I WAS JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHERE THE CITY STANDS. IS IT GOING FORWARD? ARE THEY STILL? THERE'S A LOT OF PROJECTS AND A LOT OF APPROVALS GOING ON IN THAT CORRIDOR AS WELL. RIGHT. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO BALANCE EVERYTHING TOGETHER. OKAY. SO THERE WILL BE DISCUSSIONS THIS NEXT BUDGET HERE. YEAH. IT'LL BE CONVERSATION. SO THE CITY AND THE RESIDENTS THAT TRAVERSED THAT ROADWAY KNOW WHAT IS PLANNED FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. WE'RE JUST NOT IN THE KNOW. WELL, NO, IT'S ACTUALLY EVERYTHING IS IN THE DOCUMENT THAT DOCTOR CHEN PROVIDED. IT SHOULD BE ON YOUR CHAIR OR IT WAS ON YOUR CHAIR. IS ACTUALLY IT'S ACTUALLY LISTED ALL THE PLANNING PROJECTS EVEN AND ALL THE REST FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA. SO THAT'LL BE ON THAT LISTING FOR YOU. AND I THINK THEY BROKE YOURS UP BY COMMISSION DISTRICT. YES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. STUART. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. PLEASE DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO KEEP US INFORMED AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON, ESPECIALLY THAT $17 MILLION GRANT FOR THE SMART METRO. THAT IS EXCITING. DEFINITELY WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT. AND NOW WE'RE ON TO MONTHLY LEGISLATIVE REPORTS. [10. Monthly Legislative Reports] CALVARESI. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. SO WE HAVE BOTH YOUR STATE AND FEDERAL ADVOCATES PRESENT, OR AT LEAST ONE VIRTUALLY PRESENT, ONE IN THE ROOM. I'D LIKE TO START OFF WITH OUR FEDERAL ADVOCATES AT BECKER OR SORRY, YOUR FEDERAL ADVOCATES AT BECKER. OKAY. SO, PERRY, IF YOU'RE ON. GOOD MORNING. HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING? THIS IS PERRY ADAIR AT BECKER AND POLIAKOFF. SO BEGINNING WITH THE FEDERAL UPDATE, I GUESS I'LL START WITH WHAT GREG TOUCHED ON, THE RECENT BUILD AWARDS COMING OUT. WE REFERENCED THE CITY OF PLANTATION AWARD 7.5 MILLION THAT'S A GREAT DEVELOPMENT. ALSO, BROWARD COUNTY RECEIVED AN AWARD, A BUILD AWARD FOR $3,080,000 FOR THE SOUTHPORT ENTRANCE MCINTOSH ROAD REALIGNMENT STUDY. SO THAT AS A PLANNING GRANT. SO THAT IS REALLY POSITIVE NEWS. IT'S A PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT STUDY TO EXPAND THE SOUTHPORT ENTRANCE OF PORT EVERGLADES. SO THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. AND HOPEFULLY THERE'LL BE A GRANT AGREEMENT COMING DOWN THE PIKE PRETTY SOON AND HAPPY TO HELP WITH THAT IF WE CAN. ON THE CONGRESSIONAL SIDE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE OUT THIS WEEK CELEBRATING THE 4TH OF JULY RECESS. BUT TO DATE, I BELIEVE IN A PRIOR MEETING, AT LEAST AT THE EXECUTIVE LEVEL, WE'VE DISCUSSED CONGRESS'S EFFORTS TO REAUTHORIZE THE EXPIRING BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW OF 2021. THIS LATEST ROUND OF SURFACE TRANSPORTATION REAUTHORIZATION. THE HOUSE HAS PRETTY MUCH LED THIS PROCESS EFFECTIVELY OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH THE BUILD AMERICA 250 ACT, THE LATEST ITERATION OF THE STR. IT'S A $580 BILLION PACKAGE. BUT LONG STORY SHORT, WE DON'T EXPECT THAT BILL TO GO ANYWHERE. BECAUSE THE SENATE DELAYS. SENATE'S REALLY NOT PICKED UP THE BALL ON THAT. THE HOUSE MIGHT VOTE ON IT. THE FULL HOUSE MIGHT VOTE ON THEIR VERSION OF THE BILL BY THE END OF THIS MONTH BEFORE THEY BREAK FOR THE FULL RECESS FOR AUGUST. BUT WE'RE MONITORING THAT CLOSELY. AGAIN, IT'S A $580 BILLION BILL, WHICH IS LESS THAN THE $1.2 TRILLION BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE BILL THAT PASSED IN 2021 THAT'S SET TO EXPIRE THIS SEPTEMBER, BUT WE'RE MONITORING THAT VERY CLOSELY. IN GENERAL, IT'S A VERY FORMULA HEAVY BILL WITH SOME REORIENTATION TO SOME CERTAIN FORMULA PROGRAMS. A PROVISION THAT USDOT CONDUCT A PROGRAM TO CONDUCT A STUDY TO ALLOW FOR MORE DIRECT LOCAL MPO FUNDING RECEIPTS RATHER THAN GOING THROUGH STATE DOT. SO THAT'S A POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT. BUT AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THE SENATE DELAYS, WE DON'T EXPECT A COMPREHENSIVE BILL BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, LIKELY AN EXTENSION INTO NEXT YEAR. REGARDING APPROPRIATIONS. THE HOUSE AGAIN IS LEADING THE SENATE ON THAT. THERE ARE SOME SENATE MARKUPS SCHEDULED, BUT THE HOUSE HAS REALLY TAKEN THE LEAD ON THIS, ADVANCING SEVERAL BILLS OUT OF COMMITTEE, INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION AND HUD, BUT AWAITING FULL FLOOR VOTES. NOW, WE STILL EXPECT SIMILAR TO THE REAUTHORIZATION. WELL, UNLIKE THE AUTHORIZATION, SOME SORT OF DEAL BY THE END OF THE YEAR. SEPTEMBER 30TH IS THE FISCAL YEAR DEADLINE. YOU REMEMBER LAST YEAR, THE LONG SHUTDOWN THAT IS TIMING NOTWITHSTANDING A SHUTDOWN AND COULD BE A POSSIBILITY. BUT WE EXPECT SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION OR STOPGAP TO GET US PAST THAT DATE, AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHAT THE MIDTERM RESULTS HAVE AN IMPACT ON THAT GOING FORWARD. THAT IS THE UPDATE THAT WE HAVE ON OUR END REGARDING THE RECENT BUILD AWARDS REAUTHORIZATION PENDING AND THEN THE APPROPRIATIONS, BUT HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL HAVE. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MEMBER JAFFE. THANK YOU, CHAIR. I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ON THE BUILD AWARD FOR PLANTATION IN THE MIDTOWN. AND IN MY MUNICIPALITY, A LOT OF PEOPLE GO TO PLANTATION AND TO PEMBROKE PINES FOR COMMERCIAL RETAIL, [00:50:02] WHICH WE DON'T REALLY HAVE OUT WEST. WHERE EXACTLY IS THAT AWARD FOR? IS THAT ALONG UNIVERSITY? COULD YOU BRIEF US ON THAT? SO THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION THAT YOU AND I APOLOGIZE, I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT MY COLLEAGUES CLARENCE WILLIAMS AND ANTHONY BEDELL FROM BECKER AND POLIAKOFF ARE ALSO ON THE LINE. BUT THE PROJECT UPDATE, IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A MEMBER FROM PLANTATION HERE WHO IS PROBABLY INTIMATELY AWARE OF EVERY SQUARE INCH. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I'M HAPPY TO DEFER. NO. ONE MORE TIME. AS IT'S ON. YEAH. THERE YOU GO. OKAY. IT IS OFF 84 BETWEEN UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND PINE ISLAND, AND IT'S GOING TO RELIEVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF PRESSURE. PETERS AND UNIVERSITY AND THEN 84 AND UNIVERSITY AND PINE ISLAND AND 84. AND IT'S. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF STUDYING TO MAKE A SPINAL ROAD THAT'LL GO RIGHT THROUGH THE ENTIRE DISTRICT. SO HOPEFULLY IT'LL RELIEVE A LOT OF PRESSURE OFF UNIVERSITY AND PINE ISLAND. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO BASICALLY. NOW IT'S JUST GOING TO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT. IT'S IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO LIKE COMMODORE. CORRECT. YES. LIKE A SLIP RAMP. WELL, THIS THING GOES BACK ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO. AND, THE COUNCIL WAS HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE, THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION THERE. AND IT WAS MY DAD THAT SAID, WHY DON'T WE BUILD A BRIDGE? AND EVERYONE STARTED LAUGHING AT HIM, TELLING HIM IT WAS RIDICULOUS. AND THEN 15 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, WE GET $7.5 MILLION. SO THANK YOU, TIM. THAT'S SO RIDICULOUS. [LAUGHTER] OKAY. OKAY. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE STATE? YES WE DO. THANK YOU BECKER. AND I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE LAUREN JACKSON FROM YOUR ADVOCATES AT TRIPP, SCOTT ERICKSON. THANK YOU. HI. GOOD MORNING. I'M JOINED WITH CHERYL SEINFELD AS WELL FROM THE TEAM. AND CANDACE REGRETS THAT SHE WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND TODAY. SHE DID, UNFORTUNATELY LOSE HER FATHER THIS PAST WEEKEND. SO SHE IS UP WITH HER FAMILY RIGHT NOW. OUR CONDOLENCES. THANK YOU. SO SINCE THE LAST TIME, AND I'LL BE AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE SINCE THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, WE CONCLUDED A SPECIAL SESSION F. SO WE HAD FOUR SESSIONS THIS YEAR SO FAR IN 2026, THE REGULAR SESSION AND THEN THREE SPECIAL SESSIONS, ONE ON REDISTRICTING, ONE ON THE BUDGET AND THEN ONE ON PROPERTY TAXES. JUST TO QUICKLY TOUCH ON THE REGULAR SESSION THERE WERE SOME MAJOR TRANSPORTATION BILLS AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT BILLS, BUT THE MAIN ONES THAT JUST ACTUALLY PASSED WERE DEALING WITH VERTIPORTS AND THE ONE ON MICRO-MOBILITY THAT WE WERE ALREADY DISCUSSING. AND I BELIEVE YOU'LL BE DISCUSSING LATER AS WELL TODAY. WE DO EXPECT THAT BILL TO RETURN. IT WAS AN IMPORTANT BILL TO THE SHERIFFS. SO WE ABSOLUTELY EXPECT THAT TO COME BACK NEXT SESSION. A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT DIDN'T PASS AS WELL. HAD TO DEAL WITH RED LIGHT SPEEDING CAMERAS SCHOOL ZONE CAMERAS, AND ALSO THE PERSONAL DELIVERY DEVICES THAT MAYOR COOPER RAISED AT THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. THOSE WERE ALL INCLUDED IN THE TRANSPORTATION PACKAGES THAT DID NOT PASS. SO WE ALSO EXPECT THOSE ISSUES TO RETURN NEXT SESSION AS WELL. AND THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ISSUES, WE EXPECT NEXT SESSION TO BE A VERY BIG GROWTH MANAGEMENT SESSION. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY BUSY IN THE UPCOMING SESSION IN 2027. AND THAT'S ALONG WITH THE GOVERNOR'S TRANSITION. WE'RE EXPECTING TO HAVE NEW FACES AT FDOT. IT'S GOING TO BE A PRETTY BUSY YEAR IN THE NEXT COMING SESSION. THEN TO QUICKLY GO INTO THE BUDGET. THEY PASSED A $114 BILLION BUDGET THAT WAS ABOUT A BILLION LESS THAN THE CURRENT YEAR. AND THEN THE GOVERNOR VETOED ABOUT 1.6 BILLION FROM THAT. THE WORK PROGRAM WAS FUNDED AT 11.56 BILLION THAT FULLY FUNDED THE SECOND YEAR OF THE 2027-2031 WORK PROGRAM. ALSO AND THEN INCLUDED IN THAT WERE AROUND 7.5 MILLION. IT WAS ABOUT EIGHT PROJECTS THAT WERE LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS IN BROWARD THAT SUBVERT THE PLANNING PROCESS, THE TRADITIONAL PLANNING PROCESS. AFTER THE GOVERNOR'S VETO, ONLY ABOUT FOUR OF THOSE ACTUALLY PASSED. AND I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE UNDER 3 MILLION TOTAL IN THOSE LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS. THE GOVERNOR ALSO VETOED RESILIENCY PLANNING GRANTS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. SO THAT WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE VETO AS WELL. THE LEGISLATURE ALSO PASSED DURING THE BUDGET SESSION A PRETTY MILD TAX PACKAGE THAN WHAT WE'RE TYPICALLY USED TO. [00:55:02] BUT WITHIN THAT TAX PACKAGE, THEY DID CREATE A NEW DISTRICT REVENUE DISTRIBUTION FROM THE DOC STAMP TAXES TO THE FLORIDA RAIL ENTERPRISE, AND THAT WAS INTENDED TO RESTORE FUNDING LEVELS, STATE FUNDING LEVELS FOR TRI-RAIL. THAT IS NOW IN BETWEEN NEGOTIATIONS WITH FDOT AND THE THREE COUNTIES AS TO SEE WHAT LEVEL THE STATE WILL BE WILLING TO RESTORE THE FUNDING AT. BUT, BUT IT WAS AROUND 60 MILLION THAT THEY DISTRIBUTED TO THE FLORIDA RAIL ENTERPRISE WITH THAT INTENTION. THEN I BELIEVE EVERYBODY'S VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROPERTY TAX PROPOSAL THAT WILL BE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER. IT WILL BE AMENDMENT THREE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH DETAILS YOU WANT ME TO COVER IN THIS, BUT JUST REAL QUICKLY, IT WOULD RAISE THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FROM $50,000 TO $150,000 IN 2027, AND THEN $250,000 IN 2028. IT WOULD REQUIRE THE LEGISLATURE TO CREATE A UNIFORM PROCESS TO HAVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FURTHER REDUCE THAT OR FURTHER INCREASE THAT EXEMPTION UP TO THE FULL AMOUNT. IT'S JUST A UNIFORM PROCESS. IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY SAY A SCHEDULE, WHICH IS WHAT WAS PROPOSED ORIGINALLY. IT ALSO ENUMERATES WHAT A LIST OF WHAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN SPEND AD VALOREM TAXES ON. BUT THAT LIST WAS REALLY OPENED UP BY THE LEGISLATURE. ORIGINALLY, IT WAS PROPOSED BY THE GOVERNOR AS A VERY RESTRICTIVE LIST. BUT THE LEGISLATURE PRETTY MUCH OPENED THAT UP TO BASICALLY ANYTHING THAT YOUR BOARD APPROVES THAT ISN'T CONTRARY TO GENERAL LAW. SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE'S STILL A LIST IN THERE, BUT THE LIST IS STILL IN THERE. AND THEN IT ALSO FURTHER CAPS THE ASSESSMENT ON NON-HOMESTEAD PROPERTIES. SO CURRENTLY IT'S CAPPED AT 10%. IT WOULD CAP THAT AT 5% FOR THAT ASSESSED VALUE, WHAT THAT CAN BE INCREASED TO. IT ALSO ADJUSTS THE EXEMPTION FOR CPI AS WELL. THERE ARE THREE LEGAL CHALLENGES I BELIEVE RIGHT NOW MOSTLY DEALING WITH THE BALLOT SUMMARY. SO WE DON'T EXPECT THAT THAT WOULD NECESSARILY TAKE IT OFF OF THE BALLOT, BUT IT WOULD MAYBE CORRECT SOME MISLEADING STATEMENTS IN THE BALLOT SUMMARY. AND THOSE ARE GOING FORWARD AT THE MOMENT. AND JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND THAT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THIS AMENDMENT WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PARTNERS. IF IT DOESN'T PASS NEXT YEAR, THEY'RE GOING TO BE CONVENING THE TAX AND BUDGET REVISION COMMISSION. IT IS A BODY THAT MEETS EVERY 20 YEARS SIMILAR TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION COMMISSION IN FLORIDA. AND SO THAT WILL BE CONVENING IN 2027 TO PROPOSE AMENDMENTS TO THE 2028 BALLOT THAT DEAL EXCLUSIVELY WITH TAXATION AND BUDGET ISSUES. SO EVEN IF THIS BALLOT AMENDMENT FAILS IN NOVEMBER, WE MAY SEE SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR RETURN IN NOVEMBER 2028. SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO BE PREPARED FOR AS WELL. SO ON TOP OF THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE'LL BE DEALING WITH NEXT SESSION. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THAT BODY AS WELL. AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. QUICK QUESTION ON IF IT DOES PASSES THEY STILL CONVENE THAT BODY STILL CONVENED. SO THEY STILL CAN BE ADDITIONAL TAXES TAXATION. AND YOU SAID EVERY 20 YEARS, SO THE LAST 20 YEARS THEY MET WAS THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT ACTION THAT WAS TAKEN THAT WE CAN, THAT'S AFFECTING US TODAY? YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GREAT, THAT'S A GREAT RESEARCH PROJECT. I CAN WORK ON I THINK THAT WAS JUST BEFORE I ACTUALLY STARTED IN THIS PROCESS. SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN 2006. MY FIRST SESSION WAS 2008. SO I WILL I WILL LOOK INTO THAT. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. AND ON THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT, WHAT WHAT CAN WE EXPECT WITH THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT? SO THE BILLS THAT THERE WERE A COUPLE GROWTH MANAGEMENT BILLS THAT DID PASS DEALING WITH INFILL DEVELOPMENT AND THE LIVE LOCAL 4.0. BUT OF THE BILLS THAT DIDN'T PASS THAT WE EXPECT TO RETURN. THERE WAS A TOD BILL AND THEN ALSO ONE THAT HAD TO DO WITH STARTER HOMES. THEY CALLED IT THE STARTER HOMES ACT, AND THEY'RE REALLY BEING PROPOSED BY SORT OF THE SAME HOUSING ADVOCATES. BOTH BILLS ARE BEING PROPOSED BY THE SAME HOUSING ADVOCATES. AND WE, THEY MIGHT EVEN BE COMBINED, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO, THEY ARE PLANNING A FULL REWRITE OF CHAPTER 163. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT THAT'S INCLUDED IN THAT, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE DONE IS IT REALLY PREEMPTED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. AS THERE ARE A LOT OF ISSUES DEALING WITH THAT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE DID ELIMINATE DRI'S. WE ELIMINATED A LOT OF THE STATE REGULATIONS, PUT IT BACK TO THE LOCALS. SO THERE'S A LOT OF CONFLICTS THAT HAPPEN AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, BUT IT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED BASICALLY PUT ARBITRARY ZONING IN PLACE FOR TRANSPORTATION [01:00:08] DEVELOPMENT ZONES. WHAT IT WAS A LOT BIGGER WHEN IT FIRST WAS PROPOSED, IT WOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, IMPACTED EVERY LITTLE BUS STOP, BUT THEN BY THE TIME IT WAS AMENDED, IT WOULD HAVE IMPACTED REALLY TRAIN STATIONS AND BUS RAPID TRANSIT STATIONS. BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE UPCOMING SESSION. FOR THE STARTER HOME BILL, IT WOULD HAVE MANDATED THAT BASICALLY YOU SPLIT THE LOTS DOWN, YOU MINIMUM LOT SIZES WOULD BE MUCH SMALLER AND YOU WOULD SPLIT THAT DOWN. THERE WAS ALSO THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT BILL THAT ALSO RETURNED BUT DID NOT PASS THAT ENDED UP IN A SIMILAR BATTLE AS IT DID THE YEAR BEFORE DEALING WITH SHORT TERM RENTALS, WHETHER OR NOT YOU COULD ALLOW THEM TO BE RENTED FOR A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME. SO THOSE ARE ALL SOME OF THE SAME ISSUES THAT WE EXPECT TO RETURN. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. I DO BELIEVE THAT THE SPONSOR OF THE BILL, WHO I BELIEVE IS GOING TO BE BRINGING IT BACK AGAIN NEXT SESSION. I BELIEVE HE IS PLANNING ON ATTENDING THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN HOLLYWOOD NEXT MONTH. SO THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. THANK YOU. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF MEMBERS. MEMBER TRANTALIS. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. SO IN TERMS OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT, JUST TO CONTINUE WITH THAT DIALOG. SO WHEN WE SAY GROWTH MANAGEMENT FROM THE LEGISLATURE'S POINT OF VIEW, IT'S TO ENCOURAGE MORE GROWTH, RIGHT? AND TAKE AWAY THE MUNICIPALITIES ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH IN TERMS OF TRYING TO CONSTRICT IT, TO NOT IMPOSE YOU KNOW A, NOT TO IMPOSE NEW REGULATIONS THAT WILL COMPROMISE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS. SO, SO GROWTH MANAGEMENT IS KIND OF A TRICKY PHRASE BECAUSE WE AT THE CITY LEVEL ARE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, MANAGE GROWTH IN A WAY THAT IT DOESN'T IMPOSE THESE QUALITY OF LIFE COMPROMISES, WHEREAS THE STATE IS LOOKING AT IT FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF HOW CAN WE SQUEEZE MORE HOUSES AND HOW CAN WE SQUEEZE MORE PEOPLE INTO A SMALLER AREA? IS THAT WHAT IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH, THAT THAT ACTUALLY, I THINK HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO. I MEAN, THEY ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE NOT GROWING, YOU'RE DYING. SO GROWTH IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING. BUT IN TERMS OF THEY DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE MORE DENSITY IN THE URBAN CORE AREAS, WHICH IS OF COURSE BROWARD. SO THAT IS PRECISELY IT'S A KIND OF A BATTLE BETWEEN PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS AS WELL AS SORT OF THE RIGHT TO SHAPE WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY LOOKS LIKE. OKAY. THANK YOU. I WAS AFRAID THAT WAS IT, THAT WAS. CONFIRMED. [LAUGHTER] HAVE TO PAY SOME VISITS UP TO TALLAHASSEE, I GUESS, NEXT YEAR. MEMBER COOPER? YEAH. OH MY GOSH. I'M TRYING TO THINK BACK IN 20 YEARS AGO BECAUSE I'VE BEEN AROUND THAT LONG. AND IRONICALLY, SENATOR LATVALA. LATVALA JUST PASSED AWAY. AND I REMEMBER HIM AND CONSTANTINE AND ALL THE BATTLES THAT THEY USED TO HAVE UP THERE. GOING UP. BUT MY QUESTION IS MORE GERMANE TO THE OTHER COMMITTEE, WHICH I DON'T REMEMBER MEETING. IS THAT LIKE A SESSION MEETING OR DO THEY HAVE A TIME PERIOD TO ROLL OUT RECOMMENDATIONS? IS IT WHAT'S THE TIME FRAME ON IT? IT'S A SEPARATE CALENDAR ENTIRELY. SO AT SOME POINT THEY'RE APPOINTED BY THE SENATE PRESIDENT, THE HOUSE SPEAKER, AND THE GOVERNOR. I BELIEVE THEY JUST CAN'T BE CURRENT LEGISLATORS. AND SO THOSE AFTER THE GOVERNOR TRANSITIONS AND WE TRANSITION TO THE NEW SENATE PRESIDENT, THE NEW HOUSE SPEAKER, THEN THEY WILL MAKE THOSE APPOINTMENTS. SO THE BODY WILL BE APPOINTED IN 2027. I IMAGINE THEY'LL THEY MIGHT HAVE A MEETING OR 2 IN 2027. AND THEN THEY JUST HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROPOSE AMENDMENTS IN TIME FOR THE 2028 BALLOT. OKAY. THANKS. OKAY. THANK YOU, MEMBER ROGERS. THANK YOU AGAIN, MADAM CHAIR. OKAY. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GROWTH, RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND, ARE YOU SEEING A CHANGE IN THE GROWTH PATTERN FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA, HENCE BROWARD COUNTY? ARE WE ARE FOLKS STILL COMING TO BROWARD COUNTY? ARE WE WHERE ARE WE WHEN YOU'RE PLANNING? BECAUSE I THINK OF MY SCHOOLS, I'M SAYING, OKAY, IF THERE'S GROWTH, THEN THERE'S GROWTH IN MY SCHOOLS. IF THERE'S GROWTH, THERE IS TRANSPORTATION NEED. IF THERE'S GROWTH, ALL OF THESE FACTORS THAT WE BRING INTO PLAY, WHAT IS THE VISION? WHERE ARE WE AS AN MPO AND THE TRANSIT FOLKS? WHAT DO WE LOOK AT? ARE WE STILL SAYING THERE'S A HOUSING SHORTAGE? AND THEN THAT MEANS THERE IS A NEED TO ADDRESS ALL THESE SCOOTERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. [01:05:03] BUT JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU THINK OF GROWTH. SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS IN TERMS OF WHAT THE ACTUAL DATA IS AND WHAT THE GROWTH LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW, THAT'S ABOVE MY PAY GRADE. I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW THAT. BUT WHAT THE STATE BELIEVES IS THEY JUST THEY BELIEVE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE GROWTH, THAT PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO COME DOWN HERE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER, THE ECONOMY, ETC.. THAT THAT IS WHAT THE STATE LEVEL THE LEGISLATURE IS OF THAT BELIEF, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. I DON'T. SEE YOU HAVE HELP. WELL, SO SORRY. SO I CAN AND I MIGHT ASK PETER GIES TO HELP ME ON THIS ONE. SO OUR GROWTH STATISTICS FROM THE 2050 MTP SHOWED, IF I RECALL RIGHT, PETER, ABOUT 150 PEOPLE A DAY MOVING TO BROWARD WAS OUR PROJECTION. YEAH, THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. AND THAT'S THE AVERAGE BETWEEN FOUR YEARS, THREE YEARS AGO AND 2050. SO THAT WAS AN AVERAGE. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE IT GOES UP AND UP AND DOWN. THAT WAS ALSO WITH SOME COVID DATA IN THERE. AS WE GO INTO OUR 2055, WHICH WILL BE STARTING IN ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF WE'LL GET MORE SPECIFIC DATA ON NOT JUST WHO WOULD BE MOVING INTO BROWARD, BUT NOT JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE, BUT WHO WERE THE AGE GROUPS AND WHATNOT. BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT DIFFERENT PARTS OF FLORIDA ATTRACT DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS. AND BROWARD IS MORE OF A WORKING CLASS OR MORE DIVERSE AREA THAN YOU MIGHT FIND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. OKAY. I GATHER WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT DATA HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LEAVING BROWARD. DO WE HAVE SOMETHING ON THAT? I'LL ANSWER PETER GIES ON BEHALF OF BROWARD MPO. WE'RE NOT SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT WHO'S LEAVING, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE NET GROWTH OVERALL AND THE NET GROWTH BETWEEN 2050. AND EVEN OUR VISION 2100 PLAN IS SHOWING POSITIVE GROWTH FOR THE NEXT. YEAH. OKAY. BUT THAT DATA POINT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE CAN SCOPE IN THE NEXT 2055. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. THANK YOU FOR THE RESPONSE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE REPORT. NOW WE HAVE OUR GENERAL COUNSEL REPORT. AND AS TYPICAL, MY REPORT IS BEFORE YOU. [11. General Counsel's Report] IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS RELATING TO THAT, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME. AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE ALL THE CONTRACTS AND OTHER INFORMATION THAT WILL BE COMING BEFORE YOU IN THE NEXT MEETING AS WELL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE YOUR REPORT. WE HAVE NON ACTION ITEMS. BROWARD MPO PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD. [1. Broward MPO Performance Measures Dashboard & State of the System Report] AND THAT WOULD BE. MR. FLAVIEN. OH GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. GOOD MORNING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. GOOD MORNING, PAUL FLAVIEN AS YOU SAID DATA SERVICE MANAGER HERE FOR THE BROWARD MPO. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED AND I'M NOT GOING TO RUSH YOU. JUST FOR THE RECORD. MADAM CHAIR. JUST FOR THE RECORD, MADAM CHAIR, YOU NEVER RUSH ME. I JUST NEVER WANT TO BE THE GUY THAT'S BETWEEN THE BOARD AND LUNCH, THAT'S ALL. YOU'RE NOT. OKAY. THAT'S AWESOME. ANYWAY, SO LET ME GET TO WHERE WE'RE AT. OKAY, SO THE MPO PROUDLY PRODUCES PRODUCTS, RIGHT? ONE OF THE TWO OF THOSE PRODUCTS WE STARTED PRODUCING IN 2018, WHICH IS OUR PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD AND OUR STATE OF THE SYSTEMS REPORT. NOW, I NEED TO GIVE OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MR. GREG STUART, HERE CREDIT BECAUSE AGAIN, ONCE WE STARTED TO DO PERFORMANCE MEASURES, WE STARTED AROUND 2017. HE WAS LIKE, HEY, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO LIKE MAKE THESE THINGS MORE PUBLIC FACING. SO HE TASKED US, HE CHALLENGED US. AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAME UP WITH STARTING IN 2018. NOW, THE STATE OF THE DASHBOARD PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD THAT LIVES ON OUR WEBSITE. NOW, THIS IS OUR, THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WEBSITE. YOU WILL GO TO RESOURCES, YOU WILL CLICK ON PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN AND YOU WILL SEE THIS WONDERFUL PICTURE HERE. AND YOU WOULD CLICK ON THAT PICTURE AND IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE DASHBOARD. NOW THERE'S SEVERAL PAGES ON THIS DASHBOARD AND THE WAY YOU NAVIGATE IT AGAIN, YOU GO TO THE LEFT SIDE HERE WHERE YOU SEE ABOUT THE BROWARD MPO. NOW THIS PART HERE ESPECIALLY SPEAKS TO WHAT ARE WE AS AN MPO. IT HAS EVEN A LITTLE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN CLICK AND FIND OUT WHO OUR BOARD MEMBERS ARE. AND YOU KNOW, YOUR PICTURES ARE ALL THERE AND EVERYTHING. AGAIN, IT GIVES SOME STATISTICS ABOUT WHAT AGAIN, WHAT PERFORMANCE MEASURES ARE, STATISTICS ABOUT THE BROWARD MPO POPULATION, THE NUMBER OF JOBS THAT WE HAVE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN. ONE OF THE COOL THINGS WITH EVERY PAGE ON THIS DASHBOARD IS IF YOU SEE THESE THREE LITTLE DOTS THERE, [01:10:02] RIGHT? IF YOU CLICK ON THEM, IT'LL TELL YOU HOW YOU CAN ACCESS THAT INFORMATION. YOU COULD ACCESS IT AS A CSV, WHICH IS LIKE AN EXCEL FILE. YOU COULD TAKE THIS MAP AND EXPORT IT AS A PICTURE, WHICH IS THE PNG. OR, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD SEND IT PACKAGES AS PART OF AN EMAIL, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE. SO MOST OF THE INFORMATION HERE HAS THAT ABILITY. YOU COULD DOWNLOAD IT AS AGAIN AS EXCEL FILE AS A PICTURE OR SO YOU COULD DO WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE WITH IT. NOW GOING BACK TO THE NAVIGATION BOARD RIGHT HERE, YOU GO TO ANOTHER STATE OF THE SYSTEM SORT OF THING HERE. ESSENTIALLY THIS IS GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT'LL TAKE YOU TO OUR LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WHICH IS ROUTE TO 2050, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE. YOU CAN CLICK ON THAT. IT WILL TAKE YOU THERE. AGAIN, IT GOES DOWN HERE, IT GIVES YOU SOME MORE STATISTICS ABOUT BROWARD, ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. ZERO VEHICLE HOUSEHOLDS. IT TALKS ABOUT JOB ACCESS. I MEAN, JUST A NUMBER OF STATISTICS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU MAY BE WONDERING ABOUT. AND AGAIN, YOU GO OVER HERE, EVERYTHING CAN BE DOWNLOADED OR EXPORTED AS A CSV AS A PICTURE, OR YOU COULD ACTUALLY POST IT TO SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL. SO AGAIN, NOW PERFORMANCE MEASURES, THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR PERFORMANCE MEASURES, RIGHT? AND AS YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR I COME TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO ADOPT SAFETY TARGETS AND OTHER OTHER TARGETS THAT ARE MANDATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. NOW, EVERY PERFORMANCE MEASURE AREA HAS ITS OWN PAGE, RIGHT. BUT WE HAVE AN OVERALL SCORECARD. YOU CAN CLICK ON THE SCORECARD. IT'LL LIST THEM ALL OUT. AND IT TELLS YOU HOW WE'RE DOING AT THAT TIME. FOR THAT PERFORMANCE MEASURE AREA. NOW FOR SAFETY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A VISION ZERO TARGET. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'RE NOT MEETING THAT TARGET. AND THEN IF YOU GO ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT, IT SHOWS YOU THE TREND. WHETHER IT'S GOING WELL, IT'S GOING BAD. IF IT'S RED IT'S NOT GOING WELL. IF IT'S GREEN, IT MEANS IT'S GOING WELL. NOW, THE OTHER PERFORMANCE MEASURE AREAS THAT WE HAVE ARE INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITION ESSENTIALLY, WHICH IS OUR PAVEMENT CONDITIONS AND OUR BRIDGE CONDITIONS. WHAT KIND OF CONDITION ARE THEY IN. NOW WE'RE DOING WELL ON THAT SYSTEM RELIABILITY WHICH IS TRAVEL TIME RELIABILITY. HOW ARE WE DOING IN TERMS OF THE INTERSTATES AND IN TERMS OF THE ROADWAYS THAT WE ALL TRAVEL. SO AGAIN, RED IS BAD. GREEN IS GOOD. THAT'S WHAT THE SCORECARD IS ESSENTIALLY TELLING YOU. AND WE ALSO HAVE THE TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURE AREA AGAIN, THAT'S THERE AGAIN, GOING, GOING TO IT, IT'S RED IS GOOD. GREEN IS BAD. SO AND WE ALSO HAVE TRANSIT SAFETY. SO ALL THESE THINGS ARE LISTED IN THE SCORECARD. NOW EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE AREAS ALSO HAS ITS OWN PAGE. SO LIKE FOR SAFETY FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CLICK ON THERE AND YOU SCROLL DOWN. THIS IS SORT OF A MAP OF CRASH AREAS FOR ALL CRASHES. AND THIS IS BETWEEN 2020 AND 2024. NOW ONE THING I DO NEED TO TELL YOU I KNOW LAST MONTH YOU WERE PRESENTED WITH THAT THAT DASHBOARD THAT THE SAFETY ACTION TEAM CAME UP WITH. NOW THIS IS SPECIFICALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT CRASHES THAT ARE SERIOUS INJURY CRASHES AN FATALITY CRASHES. SO IT DOESN'T GO ANY DEEPER THAN THAT. IF YOU WANT, YOU KNOW, MORE MEANINGFUL AND DEEPER INFORMATION ABOUT ALL CRASHES, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE WEBSITE THAT THE BSAP HAS. AGAIN, WHAT WE DO, WE SORT OF LIKE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO SAFETY, WE COMPARE OURSELVES WITH THE TWO MPOS TO THE NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH OF US, PALM BEACH AND MIAMI-DADE. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU SEE HERE ARE THOSE THREE LINES REPRESENT THOSE THREE MPOS. AND WHAT YOU CAN ALSO DO IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE BROWARD, BROWARD IS IN BLACK, YOU JUST CLICK ON THESE. AND THEN THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THIS IS A FIVE YEAR AVERAGE INFORMATION. SO EVERY DOT HERE YOU SEE IS LIKE BETWEEN LET'S SAY ONE, LIKE 2014, FOR EXAMPLE, TO 2019, THE LAST DOT WOULD BE FROM 2020 TO 2024. NOW IF YOU WANTED TO SEE THE ACTUAL YEAR OVER YEAR INFORMATION, THIS IS RIGHT HERE. SO WHAT THIS IS TELLING YOU IS THE NUMBER OF FATALITIES PER YEAR GOING BACK ALL THE WAY. I THINK IT'S LIKE 2006 ACTUALLY. SO NOW AGAIN. OOPS. HANG ON. AS THE CRASH RATE, WHICH ARE REQUIRED TO MONITOR BY FEDERAL LAW, IT HAS A SERIOUS INJURY CRASHES AGAIN, SAME THING FIVE YEAR AVERAGE. AND IT ALSO HAS THE YEARLY DATA RIGHT HERE. OH. [01:15:02] YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS I DON'T. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS, MR. MAYOR I DON'T HAVE A MOUSE SO I'M HAVING TO SCROLL. YEAH. I'M OF A CERTAIN AGE WHERE I NEED A MOUSE, SO, YOU KNOW. OKAY. SO IS THAT, IS THAT SCROLLING BETTER? [LAUGHTER] SO AGAIN, IT'S ALL OF THE DATA REQUIRED FOR PERFORMANCE MEASURES IN REGARDS TO SAFETY THAT WE HAVE IT ALL HERE. AND AGAIN SAY IT AGAIN. YOU CAN CLICK ON HERE. YOU CAN EXPORT EVERYTHING AS A PICTURE AS AN EXCEL FILE AND CSV IS ALSO A GIS SORT OF THING AS WELL. NOW AGAIN, I'LL JUST, LEAVE IT THERE BECAUSE AGAIN, EVERY PAGE HAS THE SAME INFORMATION, PRETTY MUCH THE SAME INFORMATION. AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND YOU CAN DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS WITH IT. NOW THIS ONE ACTUALLY HERE IS THE BRIDGE CONDITIONS FOR BROWARD. GREEN IS GOOD. YELLOW IS OKAY. RED IS BAD AS YOU CAN SEE IN BROWARD BRIDGES ARE PRETTY MUCH IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, WHICH IS BORNE OUT BY THE FACT THAT OUR GOAL IS 50% OF THE BRIDGES SHOULD BE IN GOOD CONDITION. WE'RE ACTUALLY AT 61.9%, AND ONLY LESS THAN 1% OF OUR BRIDGES ARE IN BAD CONDITION. SO THAT'S THAT'S GOOD. ANYWAY, I WILL LEAVE IT THERE AND I WILL GO BACK TO OUR WEBSITE. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE STATE OF THE SYSTEM REPORT. NOW IF YOU LOOK ON YOUR TABLE, THERE SHOULD BE ONE OF THESE WONDERFUL REPORTS SITTING THERE. NOW, THIS REPORT AGAIN, WE STARTED BACK IN 2018 AND IT LIVES ON THE WEBSITE, BUT WE ALSO PRODUCE A LOT OF THESE BECAUSE AGAIN, WE HAVE A WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE A VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD GRAPHIC DESIGNER. AND HE'S CREATED A PRODUCT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE REALLY, WE'RE REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF. AND WHAT THIS IS THE SYSTEM, IT HAS TWO COMPONENTS TO IT. IT'S OVERVIEW OF THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IS LAND USE INFORMATION, HOUSING INFORMATION, POPULATION INFORMATION. AND THEN THE SECOND PART IS THE ACTUAL STATE OF THE SYSTEM. SO WHEN WE SAY SYSTEM, WE MEAN THE ENTIRE THING. WE MEAN ROADWAYS. WE MEAN AIR, PORT, SEAPORT, AIRPORT, ALL OF THAT. ALL THAT INFORMATION IS IN THERE. RAIL. IT'S ALL IN THERE. FACTOIDS ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THERE. AND AGAIN, IT'S PRESENTED IN A WAY. IT'S NOT OVERLY TEXT. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TEXT IN IT. IT'S JUST ESSENTIALLY PRESENTING THE INFORMATION AS GRAPHICALLY PLEASANT AS POSSIBLE. AND AGAIN, I PROVIDED EACH ONE OF YOU WITH THIS SO YOU COULD TAKE IT, YOU KNOW, GREAT COFFEE TABLE BOOK. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COME TO YOUR HOUSE, YOU SIT, SIT. ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY. NOW AGAIN, YOU COULD ALSO GO IN HERE AND YOU COULD CLICK ON THIS BUTTON AND YOU COULD GET THE WEB VERSION OF IT. AGAIN, IT STARTS OFF WITH I'LL, SCROLL SLOWLY. MR. MAYOR. IT STARTS OFF WITH ESSENTIALLY A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR AND OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. AND THEN IT GOES INTO, YOU KNOW, CONTENTS. AND LIKE I SAID, IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THERE. YEAH. WELL, IT'S WE HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THERE, BUT THE WAY WE PRESENT IT, WE THINK IT'S VERY EASY TO CONSUME. SO AGAIN, IT TALKS ABOUT A POPULATION TALKS ABOUT EMPLOYMENT. IT TALKS ABOUT HOUSING. YOU KNOW GIVES YOU THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME FOR BROWARD. SO AGAIN IT'S A LOT OF COOL THINGS IN THERE THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BROWARD. YOU COULD JUST LOOK IN THERE AND FIND OUT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ROADWAY MILES THAT WE HAVE IN BROWARD. WE HAVE OUR SAFETY ROADWAY SAFETY PROFILES IN THERE. ONE OF THE WE PROBABLY ALL KNOW THIS, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE MEASURE A VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED IN THIS AS PART OF WHAT WE DO IN MPO. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE AFTER COVID HAPPENED, VEHICLE MILES TRAVELS WENT DOWN. BUT AT THIS POINT, AT LEAST FOR 2024, WE'RE ACTUALLY EXCEEDED. YOU KNOW, THE VMT THAT WAS BEFORE COVID. SO PEOPLE ARE DRIVING A LOT, WHICH PROBABLY SPEAKS TO THE NEED THAT WE ACTUALLY NEED A LOT MORE TRANSIT. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE COOL THINGS YOU'LL SEE IN HERE WITH THIS FACTOID THERE AGAIN TALKS ABOUT SYSTEM CONDITIONS AND FACTS. AND IT ALSO WEAVES IN OUR PERFORMANCE MEASURES. RIGHT. WE HAVE AN INFORMATION HERE ABOUT BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT ALSO ABOUT TRI-RAIL. AGAIN SOME PERFORMANCE MEASURE INFORMATION BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN THINGS, FATALITIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. [01:20:01] AGAIN, RAIL. AND LIKE I SAID, IT WEAVES IN EVERYTHING. IT HAS INTACT INFORMATION ABOUT NOT ONLY FORT LAUDERDALE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. IT ALSO HAS INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE AIRPORT THAT YOU HAVE OVER HERE, MR. MAYOR. AND AGAIN, IT'S A COOL WELL PACKAGED AND CONCISE DOCUMENT THAT YOU KNOW, I'M SURE IT WOULD BE SHOULD BE OF USE TO YOU. SO ANYWAY, WITH THAT, I'M DONE. STOP RAMBLING AND GOOD JOB. THANK YOU. SURE. I HAVE ONE COMMENT FOR YOU. DON'T GO ANYWHERE YET. I'M RIGHT HERE. MEMBER JAFFE. OH, JUST QUICKLY. THANK YOU PAUL. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION IN HERE, AND I APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, WE GET ACCUSED OF YOU KNOW, I'LL SPEAK FOR ME. YOU'RE OVERSPENDING, YOU'RE OVER BUDGET. BUT THIS TYPE OF DOCUMENT GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK AND PULL EXACT DATA AND SHOW PEOPLE TO EXACTLY WHAT THE MONEY IS BEING SPENT ON AND HOW THE DATA SHOWS THAT IT'S VIABLE. THANK YOU PAUL. WELCOME, SIR. I AGREE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. GREAT PRESENTATION. AND IF YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT NEEDS ANY MORE, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A FEW EXTRAS, SO FEEL FREE TO ASK. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A FEW TO PANAMA. YES. YOU'RE RIGHT. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE ONE OTHER NON ACTION ITEM. [2. Introduction to Micromobility] INTRODUCTION OF MICRO MOBILITY BY JENNIPHER TUCY. COME ON DOWN. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. NOW I AM THE ONLY THING STANDING BETWEEN YOU AND LUNCH. OKAY. I DIDN'T SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO RUSH YOU. OKAY, OKAY. NO. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU, I'M JENNIPHER TUCY, BROWARD MPO. AND I'M HERE TO GIVE A BASELINE OF MICRO MOBILITY. IT'S A LITTLE INTERACTIVE, BUT I LOVE IT ALREADY. ALL RIGHT. BY SHOW OF HANDS. JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS. IS YOUR CITY HAVING ISSUES WITH MICRO MOBILITY? OKAY. IS IT A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION WITHIN YOUR CITY. OKAY, EXCELLENT. AND IN THE LAST SIX PLUS MONTHS, HAS YOUR CITY TAKEN STEPS TO ADDRESS MICRO MOBILITY? EXCELLENT. AND YES, I DO KNOW A FEW OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN DOING, I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ON EVERYBODY'S ORDINANCES OF WHAT YOU HAVE, WHAT'S GOING ON, WHO'S DOING SAFETY CAMPAIGNS AND WHATNOT. LEADER. YEAH. AND YES, YOU'VE LED THE WAY IN A LOT OF THINGS. OKAY. SO WHAT IS MICRO MOBILITY AS DEFINED BY FLORIDA STATUTE 316.003, A MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION DEVICE DESIGNED FOR INDIVIDUAL USE, WHICH IS TYPICALLY 20 TO 36 INCHES IN WIDTH AND 50 POUNDS OR LESS IN WEIGHT, AND WHICH OPERATES AT A SPEED OF TYPICALLY LESS THAN 15MPH, BUT NO MORE THAN 28MPH. THIS TERM INCLUDES BOTH HUMAN POWERED AND NON-HUMAN POWERED DEVICES SUCH AS BICYCLE, ELECTRIC BICYCLE, MOTORIZED SCOOTER, OR ANY OTHER DEVICE THAT IS OWNED BY AN INDIVIDUAL OR PART OF A SHARED FLEET. WE HAVE THE DEFINITION. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? LET'S APPLY IT. WHICH OF THESE FITS THE TERM WE HAVE? ELECTRIC BICYCLE. MOTORIZED SCOOTER. ONE WHEEL BICYCLE. MOPED. MOTOR SCOOTER, LOW SPEED VEHICLE, AND AN ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC BICYCLE. SO THE BOTTOM ROW ARE NOT MICROMOBILITY THEMSELVES. THE ELECTRIC BIKE ON THE FAR END IT EXCEEDS 30 MILES AN HOUR. SO THEREFORE IT'S OUTSIDE THE DEFINITION. OKAY. BASE ALL CLASSES OF E-BIKES ALSO LOOK SIMILAR BECAUSE THERE IS DIFFERENT THREE DIFFERENT CLASSES OF E-BIKES AND POSE AN ISSUE OF BEING IDENTIFIED. MICROMOBILITY ALSO DOES NOT REQUIRE A LICENSE OR HAVE TO BE HAVE THE DEVICE REGISTERED. WHEREAS MOPEDS, MOTORCYCLES, LOW SPEED VEHICLES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A LICENSE PLATE. POP QUIZ. WHAT IS THIS? ELECTRIC BIKE. WELL. IT IS A MOTORIZED SCOOTER. THAT'S A MOTORIZED. MOTORIZED. IT'S A MOTORIZED SCOOTER BECAUSE I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELECTRIC BIKE. WHEN I WAS CREATING THIS DECK FOR YOU ALL I HAD PUT IT UP. I WAS LIKE, YES, ABSOLUTELY, AN ELECTRIC BIKE. AND THEN I STARTED LOOKING AT A LITTLE MORE AND GOING THROUGH AND I'M LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, IT DOESN'T HAVE PEDALS LIKE A TRADITIONAL BIKE. SO IT IS ACTUALLY FALLS INTO THE MOTORIZED SCOOTER CATEGORY. [01:25:01] SO WHY DOES THIS MATTER? WELL, BECAUSE THE DETAILS ARE GOING TO MATTER IN THIS. AND SO ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I'VE BEEN STUDYING THIS FOR THE PAST YEAR, I SEE ALL SORTS OF THINGS EVERYWHERE. IT'S SO INTERESTING. SO SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE OR THAT SEEM TO HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP, YOU KNOW, SAFETY AND EDUCATION, HOW DO THESE OPERATE IN A PREDICTABLE MANNER? THE USER, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO SEE HOW THE USERS WILL INFORM SAFETY CAMPAIGNS, INCONSISTENCY OF LAWS, ORDINANCES, DEFINITIONS. EACH MODE SEEMS TO HAVE A SPECIFIC DEFINITION WHICH ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE YET. ALSO THERE'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS FOR CERTAIN THINGS. YOU KNOW, POLICE OFFICERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCING THE LAWS. MEANING THERE NEEDS TO BE AS LITTLE GRAY AREA AS POSSIBLE WITH THESE. AND ALSO WITH INFRASTRUCTURE, WHERE DO THEY OPERATE? WHAT'S THE SAFEST FOR THE USERS. AND LACK OF MAINTENANCE OF SIDEWALKS COULD POTENTIALLY BE AN ISSUE AS WELL. POSING PROBLEMS IF THEY'RE UTILIZING THE SIDEWALKS. SO WHAT'S DOWN THE ROAD? WELL, WHEN I FIRST CREATED THIS, WE WERE WAITING TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE SB 3D2. AND NOW I'M HERE PRESENTING TO YOU. IT HAS BEEN VETOED, AS BEEN MENTIONED EARLIER BY MY COLLEAGUES. AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR FROM LAUREN THAT HOPEFULLY, I'M GLAD TO HEAR FROM LAUREN THAT THERE SHOULD BE A PUSH WITH IT FOR THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION, WHICH IS GREAT. LOCALLY, AS I SAID, I'VE NOTICED, YOU KNOW, MANY OF THE MUNICIPALITIES HAVE BEEN MAKING CHANGES AND WE'RE ALIGNING WITH THE POTENTIAL STATE LAWS AND OR EVEN THE SURROUNDING MUNICIPALITIES, AS WELL AS SAFETY CAMPAIGNS TO YOUNG RIDERS AND THEIR GUARDIANS. SOME LOCAL ACTIONS THAT WERE INFORMED TO ME FROM THE TAC THAT WAS HAD VOLUNTEERED INFORMATION COOPER CITY, CORAL SPRINGS, DAVIE, FORT LAUDERDALE, HALLANDALE BEACH, HOLLYWOOD, PARKLAND AND WESTON HAVE ALL SEEM TO. AND I KNOW THAT ALL OF IT HAS BEEN IMPORTANT TO ALL OF YOU SO. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. COMMENT FROM MEMBER ROGERS. OKAY. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. OKAY. LET ME ASK TWO QUESTIONS. IF WE HAVE IDENTIFIED WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD BE CARRYING INSURANCE AS WE CONTINUE THAT CONVERSATION. OKAY. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ON THE SIDEWALKS, THE MOTORIZED THAT YOU JUST CLARIFIED THERE ON OUR SIDEWALKS CURRENTLY. AND SOME OF OUR SIDEWALKS ARE TINY. NOT LIKE SOME CITIES WHO HAVE, YOU KNOW, WIDER SIDEWALKS. SO SHOULD THAT BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION? I THINK WE THE GOLF CARTS GOT AWAY FROM US. SO THEY'RE ALSO ON THE ROADWAY. SO DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD BE CARRYING INSURANCE. BUT HOW DO YOU CLASSIFY GOLF CART. THEY'RE NO DIFFERENT. AND THEY'RE TRANSPORTING PEOPLE. YES. ALSO. SO WHENEVER WE TALK, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT REALITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY AT THIS TIME. WHERE DO AN EDUCATION IS THE KEY? WHEN WE DECIDE WHAT IT IS AND DEFINE WHAT IT IS, KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO TRAVEL BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING IN BIKE LANES WHICH ONE OF THE LANES ARE THEY GOING TO BE THE LANE THAT IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM, OR IT'S GOING TO BE MY SIDEWALK THAT I THOUGHT WAS FOR WALKERS. RIGHT. AND OUR CHILDREN AND OUR FAMILY. NOW WE HAVE TO SOMETIMES DON'T EVEN HEAR THESE THINGS PULLING UP BEHIND YOU FOR WHATEVER REASON. YOU MIGHT BE WALKING WITH FAMILY AND HAVING A CONVERSATION, AND THEY'RE RIGHT THERE IN YOUR BACK. SO WE HAVE TO DEFINE THAT. AND WHERE SHOULD THEY OPERATE, I THINK IS ONE OF MY KEY QUESTIONS. BIKE LANES IS SAFER FOR ME IF THEY'RE IN THE BIKE LANES, NOT ON THE SIDEWALKS. THESE ARE EXCELLENT QUESTIONS, ALL OF WHICH NEED TO BE DISCUSSED. YOU KNOW, IT CERTAINLY YES, NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED AMONG. OKAY. CONVERSATION CONTINUES. YES, YES. TO LET YOU KNOW, GOLF CARTS THEY ARE A MOTOR VEHICLE THAT IS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED FOR OPERATION ON A GOLF COURSE FOR SPORTING AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES, AND THAT IS NOT CAPABLE OF EXCEEDING SPEEDS OF 20MPH. [01:30:03] AND NO, THEY SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. TO MY KNOWLEDGE OF. BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ON THE ROAD, RIGHT? SO WHAT WE SHOULD AND WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHAT IS OUR REALITY SOMETIMES MUST BE ADDRESSED BY THE APPROPRIATE AGENCIES. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AS WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION. CAN WE, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE A CONSISTENT MESSAGE THAT WE WANT TO GET OUT THERE OR RECOMMENDATION CAN WE GET SOMETHING TO OUR LEGISLATORS? ARE THEY THE ONES WHO IN TALLAHASSEE WHO WILL, WHO CAN ACTUALLY MAKE SOME DECISIONS FOR THE ROADWAYS? OR ARE WE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS LOCALLY? I MEAN. ANYONE THAT IS. YES I'M GOING TO REFER TO GREG, PLEASE. YEAH. I'M GOING TO JUMP IN. BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, IT'S CATCH AS CATCH CAN RIGHT NOW. SO YES, YOU COULD CREATE REGULATIONS AND IT'S THE ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE REGULATIONS THAT ARE BECOMING, YOU KNOW, MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT. I WOULD IMAGINE THE STATE LEGISLATURE WILL EVENTUALLY COME BACK AND SAY BAD. AND WE'RE GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ON YOUR ROADWAYS. AND SO THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL ADDRESS IT. SO IT DEPENDS ON THE DIRECT LINE. YOU KNOW, IF WE GO WITH THE LEAGUE OF CITIES AND LOOK FOR A TYPE OF LEGISLATION TO PUT UP THERE, I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE BEST ROUTE BECAUSE THEN IT'S A STATEWIDE. AND IT'S ALL EVEN EVERYWHERE. BUT THAT ALSO COMES WITH A LOT OF NEGATIVES TOO, BECAUSE YOU LOSE YOUR LOCAL CONTROL OVER THAT. OUR ISSUE HERE IN BROWARD, MIAMI DADE, PALM BEACH IS THE DENSITY OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS. IF YOU HAD 3 OR 4 YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE IMPACT. BUT YOU KNOW, THE MEANDERING SHAPES OF OUR CITIES MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR ENFORCEMENT, BECAUSE WHAT MAY BE OKAY IN FORT LAUDERDALE MIGHT NOT BE OKAY IN OAKLAND PARK IN VIS A VIS THE REVERSE. SO HAVING THAT TYPE OF CONVERSATION, IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF YOU WANTED TO PULL TOGETHER REGIONALLY. WE HAVE FIVE DISTRICTS AT THE MPO. IF THE DISTRICTS GOT TOGETHER AND SAID, THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY REGULATE THE MICROMOBILITY IN OUR AREAS AND SHARE THAT EACH OF THOSE MUNICIPALITIES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER, THEN ENFORCEMENT BECOMES A LOT EASIER AND CONSISTENCY FOR THE USERS ARE ALSO PROVIDED. SO THAT'S KIND OF A QUICK WAY OF SAYING, YEAH, WE CAN KIND OF DO SOMETHING. THE QUESTION IS, IS DO YOU WANT TO DO IT? YOU KNOW, WE'LL LOOK TO BRYAN TO AND SAY, IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO GO DOWN THAT PATH, THEN WE CAN SET UP WORKSHOPS, WE CAN SET UP MEETINGS, WE CAN SET UP WORK PROGRAM TO ACTUALLY DELIVER PRODUCTS TO YOU THAT YOU COULD UTILIZE FOR EACH OF YOUR CITIES. COCONUT CREEK SHARES BORDERS WITH MULTIPLE LOCATIONS TOO. SO HAVING, YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE OF YOU HAVE A BUILT IN BARRIER BEING THE TURNPIKE, WHICH IS A BENEFIT IN THIS CASE. SO IT'S JUST YOUR CITIES TO THE WEST AND NORTH AND SOUTH THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER. SAME THING WITH THE CITIES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT FACILITY. SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THERE'S REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY IF YOU WANT TO DO IT, BUT YOU NEED TO DO IT TOGETHER BECAUSE IF YOU DO IT INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER, THAT BECOMES, YOU KNOW, THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ENFORCEMENT IS VERY DIFFICULT. YOU KNOW, THE HOCKEY PLAYERS THAT LIVE IN MY BUILDING AND HAVE GOLF CARTS THAT GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE PARK ACROSS THE STREET. YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T CARE. THEY'RE JUST DOING WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO WHENEVER THEY WANT TO DO IT. AND THEY GET A LEGALIZED VEHICLE. THE GOLF CART THAT APPARENTLY ISN'T ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE ROAD, AND THEY JUST GO AROUND AND JUST GET INTO TRAFFIC. AND IT'S AN INTERESTING CONUNDRUM. SO I REALLY ACTUALLY HOPE THAT YOU COME UP WITH A PLAN TO MOVE TOGETHER TO ENFORCE SOME TYPE OF REGULATION. IF YOU JUST GO TO THE STATE, THE STATE'S GOING TO COME BACK AND IT'S GOING TO BE WHATEVER THE STATE PLEASES. AND WE'RE DIFFERENT THAN THE REST OF THE STATE. WE REALLY ARE. YEAH, I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO SEE THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MOVE TOGETHER ON WHEN IT COMES TO THIS. OKAY. SO THE NEXT STEP THEN WOULD BE TO DO WHAT? WELL, THE NEXT STEP FROM HERE, HEARING THAT DIRECTION IT WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE BOARD WITH PROBABLY A WORKSHOP TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION OF WHAT TYPE OF POLICIES COULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN AREAS. AND WE'LL PROBABLY USE THE CRASH DATA THAT JAMES AND FAZEL'S BEEN WORKING ON TO ACTUALLY SAY, HERE'S WHERE WE'RE SEEING THESE TYPE OF MOTORIZED VEHICLE CRASHES BASED ON THE DATA THAT WE HAVE. ONCE IT'S GONE THROUGH, AND THEN YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO BUILD A PLAN TO DO DIRECT IMPLEMENTATION. YOU KNOW, AND WE'LL PROVIDE THE POLICIES. YOU HAVE THE DISCUSSION, YOU'LL HAVE TO BRING THEM BACK TO EACH INDIVIDUAL CITY COMMISSION FOR ADOPTION AND, [01:35:06] YOU KNOW, AND TO MOVE FORWARD THAT WAY. LOTS OF LEGAL WORK. YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S, YEAH, I, LET'S SAY WE DO THAT NOVEMBER, OCTOBER THROUGH NOVEMBER SOMETIME THE FIRST TYPE OF CONVERSATION. AND THEN YOU'D PROBABLY BE ABLE TO HAVE SOMETHING IN FRONT OF YOUR COMMISSIONS THE FOLLOWING YEAR. YOU KNOW, JUST KNOWING TIME BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO, IF WE HAVE WORKSHOPS HERE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WORKSHOP EACH CITY. CITY STAFF IS GOING TO HAVE TO. THE CITY MANAGER IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET INVOLVED IN UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE BRINGING ITEMS FORWARD. SO THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS TO THAT DECISION TO GO TOGETHER, BUT IT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO IT. OKAY. MEMBER WELCH. THANK YOU. YES. I'LL JUST I'LL JUST REITERATE A COUPLE OF THINGS, AND I, I, I REALLY LIKE YOUR LEAD, CHAIR. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE MIGHT CONSIDER IN MOVING FORWARD AS A GROUP OR AS A, AS A COUNTY WOULD BE TO THE CONTROL OF THE SIDEWALKS IN, WITHIN OUR CITY PARKS. LIKE I THINK MAYOR FROM PARKLAND HAS DONE. AND THEN THE REGULATION OF THE PUBLIC SIDEWALKS AND ROADWAYS WOULD BE A SEPARATE, A SEPARATE POCKET. BUT A COUPLE OF THINGS TO CONSIDER IN YOUR PRESENTATION IS VERY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT WAS VERY INSIGHTFUL. I GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS WRONG AND IT MAKES ME ANGRY, IS THE DEALING WITH THE HELMETS WHERE AND WHEN AND AT WHAT AGES, AND THEN ALSO ABOUT THE SIDEWALK ACCOMMODATIONS, WHETHER IT'S IN OUR CITY PARKS OR PUBLIC IS THE IGNORING THE BREAKS AND THE SIDEWALKS. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU COME TO AN ADJOINING STREET OR BECAUSE THERE IS NO STOPPING THE THE ELECTRIC BIKES AND ELECTRIC SCOOTERS DON'T STOP. AND SO IF THE DRIVER IS NOT LOOKING CAREFULLY IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, OF WHICH THEY'RE NOT EXPECTING SOMEBODY TO COME 20, 28 MILES AN HOUR, THEY WILL GET HIT. SO ANYWAY, VERY TIMELY AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I APPRECIATE IT. LOOK FORWARD TO, BUT I WOULD TALK ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS, IF THERE COULD BE SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE A TIME CERTAIN BEFORE SESSION, WHENEVER IT MIGHT BEGIN NEXT YEAR, SO THAT WE HAVE SOME ALIGNMENT TO TAKE FORWARD AND BE PREPARED. I ALSO JUST REALLY QUICK BECAUSE I'D BE REMISS NOW THAT WE'RE IN THE SUBJECT AREA. MY A FRIEND OF MINE THAT RUNS THE MPO UP IN JACKSONVILLE HAS FOUND THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT ACTUALLY PROVIDES SATELLITE IMAGERY AND THEN CAN KIND OF TAKE THE CANOPY AND DECIDE IF THERE'S A SIDEWALK UNDERNEATH IT. IT'S ABLE TO TAKE OUT TREES AND BUILDINGS AND ALL THE REST OF IT TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE LOOKS LIKE. SO THOSE BREAKS AND THINGS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, WE COULD IDENTIFY AS AREAS TO DEAL WITH IN OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS. VERY COOL STUFF. AND IT'S CHEAP TOO, BY THE WAY. THANK YOU. MEMBER REISER. YES, I HAVE A QUESTION. THE MICRO MOBILITY YOU MENTIONED 30 MILES AN HOUR. WHAT'S THE STATE REQUIREMENT TO HAVE A LICENSE PLATE? YOU KNOW WHAT THE MINIMUM FIVE MILES PER HOUR WOULD BE FOR THE. I'M SORRY TO HAVE A LICENSE PLATE. YEAH. I KNOW SOME GOLF CARTS HAVE THEM AND THEY'RE ON THE ROAD. SOME DON'T. YEAH. BASED ON THE VEHICLE ITSELF AND WHAT? YEAH. IT'S THE TYPE OF VEHICLE JUST TO SHARE WITH YOU. YEARS AGO, I HAD A MOPED AND I USED TO GET AROUND ON MY LITTLE. IT HAD A LICENSE TAG AND I GOT A TICKET. YEAH. THANK YOU. OKAY. NO MORE COMMENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VERY INTERESTING PRESENTATION. OKAY. CONGRATULATIONS. FINAL REPORTS. ANYTHING ELSE? ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. ENJOY YOUR JULY AND AUGUST AND SEE EVERYONE BACK IN SEPTEMBER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
