So if there is any oh, yeah Thanks Nate 00:03:09.997 --> 00:03:17.139 - if there's any public comment, this is your opportunity of the meeting minutes I'm not seeing any here 00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:24.072 - anybody virtually. Just please raise your hand on zoom I'm not really seeing that I guess I can see 00:03:24.072 --> 00:03:29.758 - zoom there as well. So it does say that there's a couple chats in the in the zoom 00:03:31.458 --> 00:03:38.747 - The zoom chats are okay. It's okay. All right. So I guess we'll do that again.

Looks like we have it and I'll apologize again for me flumping flubbing 00:03:46.540 --> 00:03:53.973 - around but we'll get better as we move on. So next up is communications from the chair and vice chair. 00:03:53.973 --> 00:03:57.726 - Jane any communications. Nothing for me. Thank you. 00:03:58.210 --> 00:04:04.650 - Cool I don't have anything personally I do know that Lynette will have some stuff and Ben as we get 00:04:04.650 --> 00:04:11.219 - to the highway progress as well. I guess the one thing I do have is we all suffered a storm past this 00:04:11.219 --> 00:04:18.110 - past week on Thursday. We in Monroe County GIS we have updated our storm extreme storm weather events app. 00:04:18.434 --> 00:04:24.556 - And so that has the path of the tornado that came across Monroe County, as well as pictures of different 00:04:24.556 --> 00:04:30.795 - damage points. And those are available on our website. The data we pull from the National Weather Service, 00:04:30.795 --> 00:04:36.742 - and so it is pretty cool. It's dynamic, and it changes as the data changes. The one interesting thing 00:04:36.742 --> 00:04:42.689 - is that that was the earliest tornado we've experienced in Monroe County, dating back to the NWS data 00:04:42.689 --> 00:04:44.030 - I'm pulling, at least. 00:04:44.354 --> 00:04:54.082 - Typically we were seeing tornadoes in March, but this is a kind of an early mid February one So climate 00:04:54.082 --> 00:05:03.530 - change is affecting us and things of that nature So I guess reports from MPO staff is next Okay, the 00:05:03.530 --> 00:05:13.726 - first item is just a resource to share that that I learned about recently I had it up here. Hold on a second 00:05:13.986 --> 00:05:21.724 - Give me a minute. Okay. This is just a map that INDOT has made of their, they call it their innovative 00:05:21.724 --> 00:05:29.237 - intersection and interchange map. And this is what it looks like on the website. And they also show 00:05:29.237 --> 00:05:36.750 - some of the treatments that are mentioned in the map. And that is just a resource I wanted to share 00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:42.910 - with you all. We'll not go into detail, but I've provided the link in the agenda. 00:05:45.506 --> 00:05:56.248 - The second item is that in dot is currently redoing revamping their public their planning public involvement 00:05:56.248 --> 00:06:06.102 - plan which they last touched in two thousand twenty three. So they are taking comments. Feedback is 00:06:06.102 --> 00:06:15.070 - accepted by them on the plan by Friday March 13th. And this is what their page looks like. 00:06:16.002 --> 00:06:27.738 - There is a link to their draft plan and then you can submit comments about it So if anyone cares to 00:06:27.738 --> 00:06:40.061 - look into that I encourage you to do so And I'll stop after each item just in case there's any questions 00:06:40.061 --> 00:06:45.694 - that anyone has Item C on page 10 of the packet 00:06:47.842 --> 00:06:56.470 - So we have not yet reached the end of the federal fiscal year that doesn't happen until June 30th, but 00:06:56.470 --> 00:07:05.014 - every federal fiscal year the NPO receives federal funds and that Those get those must be used by the 00:07:05.014 --> 00:07:13.809 - end of the year by transportation projects and anything that's left over will get traded for other years 00:07:13.809 --> 00:07:17.662 - or flexed to Bloomington or rural transit and 00:07:18.754 --> 00:07:28.291 - And so we wanted to go ahead and give you guys a summary of this federal fiscal year, even though we 00:07:28.291 --> 00:07:37.829 - still have a few months left. We have reached zero. So all of our federal fund allocations have been 00:07:37.829 --> 00:07:47.838 - spent for this year. Sorry, transit. We don't get any this year. So this chart in the packet simply shows 00:07:51.042 --> 00:08:01.844 - kind of where we started here. The first line are the numbers that we had from NDOT when you guys approved 00:08:01.844 --> 00:08:12.444 - the TIP last March. So that was a total of $4.64 million coming to our urbanized area. Then they updated 00:08:12.444 --> 00:08:19.006 - the numbers in May of last year after you guys approved the TIP. 00:08:20.418 --> 00:08:36.290 - The amount was updated to 4.5. That was kind of balancing out amounts from the year before. And then 00:08:36.290 --> 00:08:48.862 - we did a trade last spring with another MPO which added another million dollars 00:08:49.250 --> 00:08:59.093 - to our total for this year. And so when you guys initially approved of the TIP last year, $4.6 million 00:08:59.093 --> 00:09:08.650 - was programmed. And then that amount increased to 5.6 later. And so this kind of shows the projects 00:09:08.650 --> 00:09:18.206 - that were awarded in the TIP to receive funding as of last March, and then what the actual spending 00:09:18.722 --> 00:09:29.207 - turned out to be this year. So that extra million dollars from the exchange that was added in spring 00:09:29.207 --> 00:09:40.108 - of last year, that ended up going towards West Second Street. And then every project except one received 00:09:40.108 --> 00:09:47.998 - the funds that were originally allocated to them. Except two, I should say. 00:09:48.130 --> 00:09:56.400 - High Street was originally programmed to receive funds, but was not able to use them, so those funds 00:09:56.400 --> 00:10:04.589 - were transferred elsewhere. West Second Street was programmed originally to receive funds, and they 00:10:04.589 --> 00:10:13.105 - have submitted their funding letters to INDOT and have to the total of five million. So those have been 00:10:13.105 --> 00:10:17.854 - used this year. And then Old SR 37 South and Dillman Road 00:10:18.402 --> 00:10:28.462 - were also planned to receive funds and they submitted their funding letter in November to NDOT. The 00:10:28.462 --> 00:10:38.925 - only project that was not able to receive funds as planned was downtown curb ramps phase five. And that 00:10:38.925 --> 00:10:48.382 - was essentially at the error of MPO staff because when we received updated numbers from NDOT, 00:10:48.514 --> 00:10:57.309 - Last June, we didn't update the allocations in the TIP to reflect that because it was a lower amount. 00:10:57.309 --> 00:11:06.277 - And so that's why, since Downtown Curb Ramps is the last one to request their funds from INDOT, because 00:11:06.277 --> 00:11:15.934 - we're now at zero balance, 100% obligated for this year, there's none left for the Downtown Curb Ramps project. 00:11:16.386 --> 00:11:26.005 - So that is noted in the footnotes below and we've talked to the city about that. Can I, can I comment 00:11:26.005 --> 00:11:35.436 - on that once you're, are you done with that piece of it? So first I want to say thank you Katie for 00:11:35.436 --> 00:11:43.358 - all the communication on this and for meeting with me and helping me understand and 00:11:43.490 --> 00:11:50.510 - I know there's some additional complications in there from the way that NDOT has been moving funding 00:11:50.510 --> 00:11:57.876 - around and understand that. It was a pretty unfortunate surprise to learn that your project isn't getting 00:11:57.876 --> 00:12:04.896 - the money that was allocated to it. And it's unfortunate to learn that the reason you're not getting 00:12:04.896 --> 00:12:11.915 - the money is simply because you came after another project within the fiscal year. So I just want to 00:12:11.915 --> 00:12:12.958 - emphasize that 00:12:13.314 --> 00:12:22.909 - I hope in future years we can have those conversations in advance and avoid the situation. Just to break 00:12:22.909 --> 00:12:32.322 - that down a little bit, was it because you said that the South Old State Road 37 Dillman intersection, 00:12:32.322 --> 00:12:40.638 - basically with the change in the funding allocated, that project ate up all the funds that 00:12:41.154 --> 00:12:49.666 - then the downtown project couldn't proceed? Okay, and then we didn't talk about it to reallocate, okay. 00:12:49.666 --> 00:12:57.933 - That's helpful. Would that be a matter for this advisory committee or is there like a side committee 00:12:57.933 --> 00:13:06.446 - to talk about some of the like reallocations and like, so I feel like sometimes we get projects or like 00:13:06.446 --> 00:13:08.574 - reports back that's like, 00:13:09.602 --> 00:13:16.330 - Basically this won't finish on time and then we're in a time crunch. Is there like another committee 00:13:16.330 --> 00:13:23.191 - or discussion that we could have between the different partners to say hey here's our progress update. 00:13:23.191 --> 00:13:30.119 - We're forecasting we might not meet this deadline and then like do some switching in that regard. Would 00:13:30.119 --> 00:13:34.782 - that be helpful. We have quarterly meetings every quarter to check on 00:13:35.202 --> 00:13:42.944 - the status of each project and whether or not it will be able to use the funding for that year. And 00:13:42.944 --> 00:13:50.299 - when we realize that it can't, then we take steps. And to fix that, whether it's doing a trade 00:13:50.299 --> 00:13:58.583 - or reallocating funding, we typically talk to Lisa and Neil about those, changing the funds around between 00:13:58.583 --> 00:14:00.286 - projects, and then we 00:14:00.578 --> 00:14:08.139 - Those always get brought to the committees in the form of proposed amendments and that's how you guys 00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:15.551 - see them. So if an outcome of that quarterly meeting is that there's not an agreement then we would 00:14:15.551 --> 00:14:23.186 - never see anything because it wouldn't be an amendment. Say that again like if if the conversation was 00:14:23.186 --> 00:14:25.854 - between the city and the county but 00:14:26.018 --> 00:14:33.521 - for the old state road 37 south and Dillman road and the downtown curb ramps. If there was not agreement 00:14:33.521 --> 00:14:40.667 - in those quarterly meetings to allocate money from the Dillman and 37 project to the curb ramps, we 00:14:40.667 --> 00:14:47.813 - would never be notified of that here because there wouldn't be an amendment to the tip basically. I 00:14:47.813 --> 00:14:55.102 - think that that's accurate. If I can jump in, I think that the bigger, I think what you're describing 00:14:55.426 --> 00:15:01.887 - does and should happen but the bigger issue here was the during those quarterly meetings we all thought 00:15:01.887 --> 00:15:08.287 - the same amount of money was still there. We thought this money existed and so we were just proceeding 00:15:08.287 --> 00:15:14.686 - as usual and then it turned out the money wasn't actually programmed to the MPO as a whole anymore and 00:15:14.686 --> 00:15:21.085 - so then the Dillman project, you know, used its money as it was expecting to and then the city project 00:15:21.085 --> 00:15:24.254 - came forward and the money was already gone and so 00:15:24.418 --> 00:15:34.217 - The surprise was just that the funding allocation was reduced to the MPO and we as a body never addressed 00:15:34.217 --> 00:15:43.646 - that. Yes, I think just communication is key moving forward. Thanks for comments, Neil and Jackie and 00:15:43.646 --> 00:15:46.142 - Katie for going over that. 00:15:58.882 --> 00:16:09.624 - Okay. Item D in pages 11 through 21 of the packet, there is some historical documentation for kind of 00:16:09.624 --> 00:16:20.365 - regarding the establishment or what we would say actually is designation of the MPO. And so the first 00:16:20.365 --> 00:16:28.158 - item is actually an MOU. And then the rest of them are the formal letters 00:16:29.378 --> 00:16:37.829 - sent to the governor and to Federal Highway, which essentially established the creation of the MPO. 00:16:37.829 --> 00:16:46.534 - And this is kind of mostly just FYI for you guys, but this is provided because of some discussion that 00:16:46.534 --> 00:16:55.070 - took place at the policy committee meeting last month. Some folks are wanting some information about 00:16:55.554 --> 00:17:04.730 - kind of the origin of the MPO and how it came to be situated in the city of Bloomington Planning Department. 00:17:04.730 --> 00:17:13.149 - And so you're welcome to read through that. I mean roughly the city is because their population was 00:17:13.149 --> 00:17:19.294 - approaching that federal population level that would then enable them to 00:17:19.458 --> 00:17:29.011 - become an MPO and get federal funds, the city initiated transportation studies a few years prior to 00:17:29.011 --> 00:17:38.754 - the MPO establishing. And there's a variety of other reasons why the MPO is situated where it is. But 00:17:38.754 --> 00:17:46.014 - this original MOU also clearly creates the grounds for an intergovernmental 00:17:46.370 --> 00:17:53.329 - multi-jurisdictional represented policy committee, technical advisory committee, and citizens advisory 00:17:53.329 --> 00:18:00.694 - committee. So nothing has really changed with regard to representation of folks from different jurisdictions 00:18:00.694 --> 00:18:08.126 - since the creation of the MPO. But feel free to let us know if you have any questions or comments about that. 00:18:09.026 --> 00:18:15.097 - Yeah, I thought these were just really interesting to look through and see, you know, the heavy hitters 00:18:15.097 --> 00:18:20.993 - in the past that were part of this and just kind of the creation. So yeah, thanks for including this 00:18:20.993 --> 00:18:27.122 - in the packet. One thing I might note too is we would welcome any documents the county may have. I mean, 00:18:27.122 --> 00:18:33.076 - this is the extent of what we have and we're lucky to have it for that matter. So anything the county 00:18:33.076 --> 00:18:38.622 - has in its archives, either the county plan commission or the commissioner's office, anywhere. 00:18:39.202 --> 00:18:47.112 - Anything that survived the paper to electronic. I will just say from my standpoint I did see this maybe 00:18:47.112 --> 00:18:54.717 - a few days ago and I did go looking and we talked to our legal department to our knowledge. This is 00:18:54.717 --> 00:19:02.323 - the only document that was created. I don't think that subsequent inter cooperatives as it's called 00:19:02.323 --> 00:19:07.038 - were made. We do have inner locals but those were subject for 00:19:07.746 --> 00:19:15.326 - planning and zoning jurisdiction only. They were very narrow in scope. They weren't associated to the 00:19:15.326 --> 00:19:22.979 - MPO. So our legal department and myself, we tried to rack our brains and look at different places, but 00:19:22.979 --> 00:19:30.485 - I don't think that there was anything beyond this. I'll keep looking. Okay. And we also went back to 00:19:30.485 --> 00:19:35.166 - 2008 work program, looked through it too. Nothing had changed. 00:19:36.002 --> 00:19:50.022 - at that time from 2008 up until now. So, okay. Okay, item E, some project updates regarding TIP projects 00:19:50.022 --> 00:20:03.774 - or projects receiving federal funds through the MPO. There's nothing really too much to add except for 00:20:06.434 --> 00:20:18.106 - One project, the project 2200619, that is some of these bridge deck overlay projects on I-69. One of 00:20:18.106 --> 00:20:30.588 - them is up there on the map. The project manager reached out to us and shared that construction is possible 00:20:30.588 --> 00:20:35.326 - during the fall of 2026 or spring of 27. 00:20:37.442 --> 00:20:45.444 - It's also anticipated that the construction at these locations will occur separately. So there's seven, 00:20:45.444 --> 00:20:53.369 - I think there's seven locations where they're doing bridge deck overlay on I-69. Five of the locations 00:20:53.369 --> 00:21:01.371 - will have shoulder and lane closures, but those will be less than seven days. And two of the locations, 00:21:01.371 --> 00:21:06.526 - West Arlington and Kinzer Pike will use temporary traffic signals. 00:21:06.882 --> 00:21:14.912 - The roads will remain open, but there may be some weight because of the temporary traffic signals. Other 00:21:14.912 --> 00:21:22.636 - than that, that's all the updates I have. If Neil or the county have any updates they want to share, 00:21:22.636 --> 00:21:30.360 - feel free to. I'll do a couple quick, just basic project updates. So first, the downtown curb around 00:21:30.360 --> 00:21:36.478 - space five project that we were mentioning earlier, it is still moving forward. 00:21:36.578 --> 00:21:44.605 - starting design. We're negotiating a design contract right now with an engineering firm. And then I 00:21:44.605 --> 00:21:52.874 - wanted to give a brief update on our High Street project. So we are wrapping up right away acquisition 00:21:52.874 --> 00:22:00.981 - on that. We are looking to do some tree clearing before the environmental bat window closes on April 00:22:00.981 --> 00:22:03.550 - 1st of this year. And then that 00:22:03.842 --> 00:22:09.613 - needs to happen in advance of utility relocations, which would occur generally throughout 2026. And 00:22:09.613 --> 00:22:15.441 - then looking at project construction, uh, during 2027, I think our, our letting date for the project 00:22:15.441 --> 00:22:21.212 - is actually in, uh, I want to say October of this year, September, October, somewhere in there. Um, 00:22:21.212 --> 00:22:27.502 - but getting ahead of it so that we can get the utilities out of the way so that the project can successfully 00:22:27.502 --> 00:22:32.926 - go to construction. Um, and be happy to update on any other projects if anyone has questions. 00:22:34.818 --> 00:22:41.341 - Can I ask a question about the high street one, just because it's a road I travel. Is that street going 00:22:41.341 --> 00:22:47.739 - to be detoured off then during that process? So during construction itself, we'll probably break into 00:22:47.739 --> 00:22:54.137 - phases, segments of the road, and it will most likely become a one-way street during those phases. So 00:22:54.137 --> 00:23:00.786 - there will still be access to everywhere along it, but not from both directions. And then in 2026, during 00:23:00.786 --> 00:23:03.358 - utility relocations, you'll probably see 00:23:03.586 --> 00:23:11.401 - Similar but shorter duration maybe flagging or maybe short one ways cool. Thanks mill Lynette I have 00:23:11.401 --> 00:23:19.138 - a number of project updates and hopefully just to establish a baseline of what you know and what we 00:23:19.138 --> 00:23:26.952 - know since paul saturday Retire between last meeting in this meeting So bear with me as I go through 00:23:26.952 --> 00:23:33.374 - this list The curry pike phase one project between state road 45 and state road 48 00:23:33.506 --> 00:23:39.274 - Letting was in February and was awarded to DC Construction. We're working with Indiana Railroad for 00:23:39.274 --> 00:23:44.350 - right of entry along the tracks and have a pre-construction meeting set for March 11th. 00:23:44.930 --> 00:23:52.816 - The Eagleson Bridge letting was in January and was awarded to Beatty Construction. We're working with 00:23:52.816 --> 00:24:00.547 - NDOT to set up a pre-construction meeting later in March or April. The inspector for the project is 00:24:00.547 --> 00:24:08.510 - Bob Rob Burkhart with BFS and construction is scheduled to start after move-in and open before move-in 00:24:08.510 --> 00:24:10.366 - in 2027. Rockport Ridge 00:24:10.530 --> 00:24:17.408 - Brockport Road Bridge 308, letting was in February and was awarded to CLR contractors. The inspector 00:24:17.408 --> 00:24:24.423 - will be Chris Stoner with EGS BLN. We'll be working with them to set up a pre-construction meeting for 00:24:24.423 --> 00:24:31.709 - this project in March and April also. Fairfax Road Safety Project, the high friction pavement installation 00:24:31.709 --> 00:24:38.792 - at various locations between mostly Shaq Road and Cleve Butcher Road. The pavement cores were completed 00:24:38.792 --> 00:24:40.222 - around January 30th. 00:24:40.514 --> 00:24:47.840 - Stage three plans will be completed after these core reports are completed and we should expect to see 00:24:47.840 --> 00:24:55.380 - those reports in June. That road bridge number 79 replacement, we're working on last parcel negotiations. 00:24:55.380 --> 00:25:02.848 - Letting is not until fiscal year 2029. The design is 100% completed. Old State Road 37 South and Dillman 00:25:02.848 --> 00:25:10.174 - Road intersection, early coordination letters for the phase of the section 106 review process went out 00:25:10.338 --> 00:25:19.196 - February 20th, 2026. Roar Road Bridge 75 replacement. Expect construction to begin in the spring. The 00:25:19.196 --> 00:25:28.054 - contractor is CLR and this is a locally funded project. The closure and detour will be established at 00:25:28.054 --> 00:25:37.694 - that pre-construction meeting. The Vernal Pike Connector on profile parkway between Loesch Road to Curry Pike. 00:25:37.890 --> 00:25:44.427 - There's a meeting scheduled this Friday with Simtra to bring up what was supposed to be completed by 00:25:44.427 --> 00:25:51.028 - the Cook Group as part of the approval of the old GE site. Not sure who the design consultant will be 00:25:51.028 --> 00:25:51.934 - at this time. 00:25:52.642 --> 00:25:59.436 - And then just one announcement, we will be having an on-site engineer starting in March until we find 00:25:59.436 --> 00:26:06.297 - a full-time replacement for Paul. The engineer is Brent Wenholt with BFS. He was a county engineer for 00:26:06.297 --> 00:26:13.157 - 12 years in Dubois County, so he has a lot of knowledge on federal aid projects, local rural projects, 00:26:13.157 --> 00:26:18.686 - plan reviews. He'll be in our office one day a week and attend meetings as needed. 00:26:20.834 --> 00:26:28.588 - If you have any questions or would like updates on other projects, I'm happy to answer those. Thanks, 00:26:28.588 --> 00:26:36.417 - Lynette. And just to clarify, not all the projects she mentioned are receiving federal funds. But I'll 00:26:36.417 --> 00:26:39.838 - talk to her about that later. Thank you. OK. 00:26:55.458 --> 00:27:04.565 - Okay, thanks Lynette and Neil. So are we moving on now to old business? Okay, moving on to old business. 00:27:04.565 --> 00:27:13.673 - Okay, the first item we have under old business is the Unified Planning Work Program. This is for fiscal 00:27:13.673 --> 00:27:22.780 - year 2027-2028. Copy that we have included in the packet is what we call the final draft. As of February 00:27:22.780 --> 00:27:24.862 - 20th, 2026, we received 00:27:25.218 --> 00:27:31.860 - Adjustments were made to the document itself after comments, review comments from Federal Highway 00:27:31.860 --> 00:27:38.773 - Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and the Indiana Department of Transportation. Federal 00:27:38.773 --> 00:27:45.957 - Highway comments, and I can send these to you afterwards. I apologize for not having these in the packet. 00:27:45.957 --> 00:27:48.126 - They're actually fairly simple. 00:27:48.418 --> 00:27:58.391 - Comments include remove all references to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act and rename those the IIJA. 00:27:58.391 --> 00:28:08.751 - It's no longer the bill, the BIL. It's the IIJA. So all of that has been replaced. All rescinded executive 00:28:08.751 --> 00:28:14.270 - orders were removed from the document. Any references to 00:28:14.370 --> 00:28:25.282 - planning emphasis areas under prior national administration were removed. Also, under active transportation, 00:28:25.282 --> 00:28:35.393 - page 40 of the document says remove any reference to the bipartisan infrastructure law, replace that 00:28:35.393 --> 00:28:43.902 - with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was done. Page 41, excuse me. 00:28:44.322 --> 00:28:51.719 - on active transportation, remove, again, the reference to the bipartisan infrastructure law, replace 00:28:51.719 --> 00:28:59.043 - that with the Infrastructure and Investment and Jobs Act. Federal Transit Administration's comments 00:28:59.043 --> 00:29:06.586 - were, please remove the FTA Region 5 from the reference planning emphasis areas, which we did, replace 00:29:06.586 --> 00:29:12.958 - the bipartisan infrastructure law with the Infrastructure and Investment and Jobs Act. 00:29:14.626 --> 00:29:22.976 - Remove references to rescinded executive orders which were done and that's in oh and then under discretionary 00:29:22.976 --> 00:29:31.174 - programs federal transit administration for planning. Please note that they may be awarded as a requirement 00:29:31.174 --> 00:29:39.220 - as selected planning projects must be included in the work program upon award and prior to being eligible 00:29:39.220 --> 00:29:41.118 - for pre award authority. 00:29:41.442 --> 00:29:48.871 - such as areas of poverty, transitory development, planning projects, et cetera. The Indiana Department 00:29:48.871 --> 00:29:56.156 - of Transportation's comments are recommended in addition to indirect endorsement letter. This is the 00:29:56.156 --> 00:30:03.369 - indirect cost endorsement letter, which is in the appendices. Please list that in the dialog box in 00:30:03.369 --> 00:30:10.654 - the introduction. It lists the approval of the indirect rate that will be used for the work program. 00:30:10.754 --> 00:30:18.158 - that we did the estimated unexpended work program balance on page 13. Please also include purchase orders 00:30:18.158 --> 00:30:25.282 - under that table. We added the purchase order numbers and then we're showing the carryover balance at 00:30:25.282 --> 00:30:32.336 - the end of this current fiscal year as being zero. The individual planning element budget table that 00:30:32.336 --> 00:30:37.854 - follows each planning element should be structured in a way and manner showing 00:30:38.274 --> 00:30:46.563 - federal matching funds and estimated carryover funds. We redid that table to show that there are no 00:30:46.563 --> 00:30:54.935 - carryover funds, period. Summary budget and planning sources, highly recommended the MPO restructure 00:30:54.935 --> 00:31:03.390 - the summary budget table, which we did, and that's included in the document. Furthermore, fiscal year 00:31:03.650 --> 00:31:13.564 - 27 MPO Consolidated Planning Grant Mark is $298,149. We've adjusted that according to that number. 00:31:13.564 --> 00:31:23.979 - On page 25, the fifth bullet, please reword the word equity considerations. We took out the word equity 00:31:23.979 --> 00:31:31.390 - and can't remember the word that we put in instead. Page 26, element 300, 00:31:31.810 --> 00:31:40.993 - Please include activities beginning for the next step tip update, which will be in 2029 fiscal year, 00:31:40.993 --> 00:31:50.359 - 2029 and 2033. We did element 306 performance measures. The eighth bullet suggested rewording the word 00:31:50.359 --> 00:32:00.542 - sustainability. So we reworded the word sustainability. Page 40, 501, health plan 501 on active transportation. 00:32:01.154 --> 00:32:10.366 - Fifth paragraph, please remove the word equity from ADA equity considerations. Now that's in the law, 00:32:10.366 --> 00:32:19.306 - but we did it anyway. Third bullet on page 40, please remove equity from ADA equity, which we did, 00:32:19.306 --> 00:32:25.086 - and again, that was in the law. Page 41, active transportation. 00:32:26.082 --> 00:32:34.660 - No, no, no. That's a duplication. That's a duplication there. Okay. And then on page 47, under the Title 00:32:34.660 --> 00:32:42.830 - VI and ADA compliance plans, identify the LPAs where the MPO will monitor the Title VI status going 00:32:42.830 --> 00:32:51.163 - forward and move toward limited funding to those entities not meeting the requirements as Federal-aid 00:32:51.163 --> 00:32:55.166 - recipients. We therefore reworded it to identify 00:32:55.266 --> 00:33:02.282 - That we would not only review or monitor the city of Bloomington but also Monroe County and also the 00:33:02.282 --> 00:33:09.368 - town of Ellisville. That's it. Well thanks for that overview Pat and I hope you guys got a lot of use 00:33:09.368 --> 00:33:16.524 - out of a thesaurus during this process of changing the words equity and sustainability. Yeah those are 00:33:16.524 --> 00:33:20.414 - bad words. Do we have to have a motion to approve this. 00:33:21.538 --> 00:33:29.009 - Yes, there's a request requested action to recommend approval by the by the TSE and the Policy Committee. 00:33:29.009 --> 00:33:36.058 - So I guess do we have a motion to approve? I just have maybe two questions really quick and I think 00:33:36.058 --> 00:33:43.106 - you addressed them last time, Pat. But I just want to make sure I'm on the right track. The overall 00:33:43.106 --> 00:33:50.718 - budget reduced due to the 2020 census and you went over that last time. But just for my own reminder. Sure. 00:33:50.882 --> 00:33:59.499 - Did you equally kind of reduce each itemized line item by that percent or was it more of a cooperative 00:33:59.499 --> 00:34:08.619 - discussion between because I know like I remember you saying asset management went down to zero or something 00:34:08.619 --> 00:34:16.734 - like that. Is it was there like a framework for which you decided on those reductions basically. 00:34:16.962 --> 00:34:26.543 - The current budget that we operate under is 325,000 or so in federal funds. This new one will be $298,000. 00:34:26.543 --> 00:34:35.944 - It's been a steady cut for three consecutive years, and that is a result of the 2020 census. The funding 00:34:35.944 --> 00:34:41.406 - we receive for planning is based on a per capita allocation. 00:34:41.570 --> 00:34:49.918 - And since Bloomington went down in the 2020 census, our students went home. They weren't counted vis-a-vis 00:34:49.918 --> 00:34:58.423 - other communities. Lafayette went down too, but vis-a-vis the other group two smaller communities, everybody 00:34:58.423 --> 00:35:06.225 - went down. In terms of the budget, what I had shown in the draft was I had shown a deficit and they 00:35:06.225 --> 00:35:09.502 - did not want us to show a deficit. So we, 00:35:09.794 --> 00:35:19.669 - took the deficit out, rebalanced hours, and what we did was reduced my hours, reduced Katie's hours, 00:35:19.669 --> 00:35:29.544 - and put those in what I would call the rank order of what we do. And the rank order of what we do is 00:35:29.544 --> 00:35:39.614 - element 100, meetings, meetings, minutes, discussions with outside groups and all of that. What is it? 00:35:39.874 --> 00:35:48.083 - go to that real quick. Yeah, the inter administration and public public participation. That's that's 00:35:48.083 --> 00:35:56.454 - our biggest expenditure in terms of hours. Historically, we balanced everything based on what our time 00:35:56.454 --> 00:36:04.744 - had been spent in previous years. After that, we go to the transportation improvement program. That's 00:36:04.744 --> 00:36:08.158 - the second largest user of our hour time. 00:36:09.026 --> 00:36:17.616 - After that, we went to task 500, which is the active transportation. There's a requirement there that 00:36:17.616 --> 00:36:26.796 - we spend a minimum of 2.5% of our federal funding in active transportation. And then the city of Bloomington 00:36:26.796 --> 00:36:35.302 - also received a $1.44 million grant from the US Department of Transportation. We will assist in that 00:36:35.302 --> 00:36:36.734 - in a modest way. 00:36:37.282 --> 00:36:44.167 - I'm not saying that we'll spend a lot of our time on that but because they have the forces to do that 00:36:44.167 --> 00:36:50.917 - but we will assist in a modest way task and then going from there the crash report crash report and 00:36:50.917 --> 00:36:57.937 - traffic counts what I'd call the traffic count data and the crash report data the crash reports consume 00:36:57.937 --> 00:37:04.350 - a considerable amount of time right now because we how do we how do I say it clean up the data 00:37:05.666 --> 00:37:14.727 - We received the data in a raw format from the database, the area's database. We cleaned that up. Usually 00:37:14.727 --> 00:37:23.356 - that's cleaned up somewhere around April, May, June. And then we posted on the crash dashboard. And 00:37:23.356 --> 00:37:32.331 - the crash dashboard was brand new as of this year, too, for that, well, this fiscal year, I should say. 00:37:32.331 --> 00:37:35.006 - Then after that, the task 600, 00:37:35.330 --> 00:37:42.346 - which is the Title VI, that's the one where we're spending the least. We took money out of that one. 00:37:42.346 --> 00:37:49.362 - That one has in it, I think, only nine hours of time, nine hours of billable time in the whole task. 00:37:49.362 --> 00:37:56.586 - And then going to your other question about contract service agreements, we zeroed out all the contract 00:37:56.586 --> 00:38:04.574 - service agreements. Previously we had two of those, $13,000 for the City of Bloomington asset management, $13,000. 00:38:05.442 --> 00:38:14.389 - county asset management given the cut we had to reduce those also. And then previously in pre prior 00:38:14.389 --> 00:38:23.962 - years we had also shared resources with Bloomington Transit. There's no resources with Bloomington Transit 00:38:23.962 --> 00:38:33.267 - either this year or the next year. Does that answer all of your questions. That so I could compare like 00:38:33.267 --> 00:38:34.430 - last month's 00:38:34.658 --> 00:38:42.470 - work program draft this program work draft. Okay. And then there just the discussion we just had about 00:38:42.470 --> 00:38:50.510 - the you know internal quarterly meetings between staff just to kind of do we don't have to put everything 00:38:50.510 --> 00:38:58.246 - in this work program that we do coordination wise like we do have some flexibility. Oh you do have to 00:38:58.246 --> 00:39:03.934 - over everything. Okay. So is that in there. I didn't. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 00:39:04.162 --> 00:39:11.332 - We'll conduct a minimum of four quarterly meetings. That's a requirement also. Preparation of that takes 00:39:11.332 --> 00:39:18.638 - an extensive amount of time too because the county and the city all are required to submit their quarterly 00:39:18.638 --> 00:39:25.535 - reports. Quarterly reports come to us first. We go through the quarterly reports, review those, look 00:39:25.535 --> 00:39:31.134 - for changes, look for key issues that may be evolving, and then we approve those. 00:39:31.234 --> 00:39:39.013 - Those go to the Department of Transportation, the Department of Transportation, and then we meet usually 00:39:39.013 --> 00:39:46.496 - a few weeks after that to discuss it. Uh, one project that came up recently was old state road 37 in 00:39:46.496 --> 00:39:53.904 - Dilman road. That project had originally been scheduled, I think for an October, October letting or 00:39:53.904 --> 00:39:58.942 - something like that in 20, 27. And then, uh, it was moved to March. 00:39:59.586 --> 00:40:08.714 - of 2027 and it's still only in the early coordination phase. We expressed concern to the county highway 00:40:08.714 --> 00:40:17.667 - director over the issue of a March letting is risky. I'll say that. And so as a result of that, we're 00:40:17.667 --> 00:40:26.707 - working behind the scenes to move that one to fiscal year 28 and to meet that obligation. We're in the 00:40:26.707 --> 00:40:28.638 - process of looking at 00:40:28.738 --> 00:40:35.511 - trades or loans. I shouldn't say trades trades. Yeah loans. I shouldn't say loans trades with other 00:40:35.511 --> 00:40:42.284 - MPOs so that way we can balance it out and we can have that project go to a contract letting it the 00:40:42.284 --> 00:40:49.057 - proper time. So yeah there's everything that's in here. It says responsible agency and end product. 00:40:49.057 --> 00:40:55.897 - That's what we do. Yeah. And I know we were starting the process maybe to I don't remember if it was 00:40:55.897 --> 00:40:57.726 - last year the year before. 00:40:57.826 --> 00:41:05.088 - regarding the complete streets which probably isn't allowed anymore under this current administration 00:41:05.088 --> 00:41:12.278 - but there was some discussion I thought was helpful about how do we like score or have a fair rubric 00:41:12.278 --> 00:41:19.540 - between all the different parties. I'd still like to see something like that in the future just to be 00:41:19.540 --> 00:41:25.662 - completely transparent amongst everyone to say this is how we evaluated that project. 00:41:25.762 --> 00:41:33.918 - And I also know Katie invited me to a training of you know there are other jurisdictions have a lot 00:41:33.918 --> 00:41:41.667 - more staff that they're able to incorporate other components of MPOs like prioritizing housing 00:41:41.667 --> 00:41:49.823 - and transportation or prioritizing other things with transportation. That could be something in the 00:41:49.823 --> 00:41:53.086 - rubric or just a discussion amongst us. 00:41:53.410 --> 00:42:01.051 - complete streets policy that we developed and adopted three, four years ago, something like that. I 00:42:01.051 --> 00:42:08.691 - think it was four years ago now. That was based on best practice at that time. And we adopted it, I 00:42:08.691 --> 00:42:16.332 - would call it holistically. And then after the adoption, we didn't realize that the scoring process 00:42:16.332 --> 00:42:22.750 - was biased against safety projects. It was actually prioritizing capacity expansion 00:42:23.106 --> 00:42:32.326 - or new facilities or things like that instead of safety. So we've talked internally extensively about 00:42:32.326 --> 00:42:41.726 - we wanna go through a new scoring process and that may come out of the cake in April of this year, this 00:42:41.726 --> 00:42:50.494 - calendar year or May or so. Yeah, Complete Streets is not fully supported on the national level. 00:42:51.042 --> 00:42:57.608 - What was the other question? Just the rubric and how we score things and if we can include other components. 00:42:57.608 --> 00:43:04.054 - Yeah, it'll be a complete rewrite is what we want to do. And that would come to this committee for review? 00:43:04.054 --> 00:43:10.139 - Oh, yes, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. We would hope to bring that to you in April or May. That depends on 00:43:10.139 --> 00:43:16.103 - our workload because they're just the two of us and we're being bombarded right now. I understand. 00:43:16.103 --> 00:43:20.862 - Thank you. All right, sure. Well, Jackie, to your point, I know it's something 00:43:20.962 --> 00:43:27.513 - John brought up at prior meetings too but we never really quite got it off the ground but I believe 00:43:27.513 --> 00:43:34.065 - we talked about even having a working group that very reason just helping. So it might be something 00:43:34.065 --> 00:43:40.682 - we could still include in the mix to be interested. Yeah the technical advisory committee be heavily 00:43:40.682 --> 00:43:47.430 - involved in whatever we do. It won't be just us giving you a presentation and then asking for support. 00:43:47.430 --> 00:43:49.854 - You know it'll be a working process. 00:43:54.626 --> 00:44:04.332 - Great. Thanks for the comments everybody. Any other comments. I guess this is a motion to approve the 00:44:04.332 --> 00:44:13.943 - old business the twenty twenty seven twenty twenty eight unified planning work program. So move each 00:44:13.943 --> 00:44:23.934 - a second. And I guess I should have said if there's a I forgot that the phrasing and unanimous approval. 00:44:25.314 --> 00:44:37.082 - Public comment yes, sorry if there's any public comment time is now I'm not seeing any Sorry Can you 00:44:37.082 --> 00:44:48.734 - hear oh yeah, I see we see you now Eric sorry about that That's okay. Yeah, I raised my hand during 00:44:49.186 --> 00:44:59.236 - presentation. My name is Eric Ost and I want to say thank you for all of your work on this this important 00:44:59.236 --> 00:45:09.096 - matter. During the Mr. Martin's presentation he mentioned the crash dashboard and I wasn't sure if that 00:45:09.096 --> 00:45:17.534 - was something that was going to be scaled back or continued and if it is being continued 00:45:18.242 --> 00:45:28.364 - I'm wondering if you could, I appreciate the efforts to clean up the data that's downloaded from the 00:45:28.364 --> 00:45:38.586 - ARIES system, but I'm wondering if you could publish the complete ARIES data set for Monroe County as 00:45:38.586 --> 00:45:46.302 - a separate file that could be accessed by the public as point of information 00:45:47.330 --> 00:45:57.930 - that used to be published by the state, as well as in a slightly modified form by the city of Bloomington 00:45:57.930 --> 00:46:08.130 - until 2023, I believe. But it would be very helpful for the analysis of traffic patterns, crashes, in 00:46:08.130 --> 00:46:15.230 - a fairly fine retail grain manner, if that complete data set could be. 00:46:16.098 --> 00:46:25.896 - published on a hopefully on a monthly basis that would be great. And just that I can send you documentation 00:46:25.896 --> 00:46:35.421 - on what that data set includes if that would be helpful. So I guess I'm asking to clarify that the crash 00:46:35.421 --> 00:46:44.765 - dashboard will still be maintained by staff despite the funding constraints and also that the complete 00:46:44.765 --> 00:46:45.854 - data set be 00:46:45.986 --> 00:46:54.235 - published just as a separate file. Thank you. In regard to the crash dashboard, absolutely. That was 00:46:54.235 --> 00:47:02.402 - the purpose of establishing the crash dashboard in the first place. And then we'll be refining that 00:47:02.402 --> 00:47:11.550 - further as we proceed. In terms of access to the area's database, there's a legal requirement that we have that 00:47:13.122 --> 00:47:20.834 - We, the staff, don't see the area's database. That's loaded, downloaded through the engineering department. 00:47:20.834 --> 00:47:28.190 - Do you know that? Okay. There's a legal requirement on that and confidentiality. And that's- I'm sorry 00:47:28.190 --> 00:47:35.402 - to interrupt. Could I ask for that contract to be provided? That actually, that restriction has been 00:47:35.402 --> 00:47:42.686 - mentioned before, but Indiana code declares that accident reports are public data and not classified. 00:47:43.106 --> 00:47:49.799 - So I'd like to follow up with someone about that so I can better understand what those restrictions 00:47:49.799 --> 00:47:56.625 - are. If they are a contract with a private provider, then that does not obviate the fact that Indiana 00:47:56.625 --> 00:48:03.452 - Code declares it as public record. And my understanding. Okay, yeah. Yeah, they are through a private 00:48:03.452 --> 00:48:10.278 - contractor, but I'm unfamiliar with exactly what the requirements are. I can research that and we can 00:48:10.278 --> 00:48:11.550 - send you an email. 00:48:12.258 --> 00:48:19.990 - Eric we discussed this last year and the answer is is the same as it was last year, which is that We 00:48:19.990 --> 00:48:27.722 - are not authorized to publish the in dot crash data Only in dot is authorized to publish it and then 00:48:27.722 --> 00:48:35.837 - they decide who they give access to the system internally and then the public is also welcome to purchase 00:48:35.837 --> 00:48:39.358 - the crash data through the in dot website and 00:48:40.482 --> 00:48:48.207 - All of the answers are still the same about that. With regards to your comment about the data being 00:48:48.207 --> 00:48:56.473 - published in the past, as I mentioned last year, that data publishing was a mistake and it was not legally 00:48:56.473 --> 00:49:04.739 - permitted. And when it was realized that that was not permitted, that data was taken down off the website. 00:49:04.739 --> 00:49:09.374 - Okay, I appreciate that. I'd like to follow up with someone 00:49:09.506 --> 00:49:19.318 - possibly in a conversation in regards to this, because I think what you're talking about is a restriction 00:49:19.318 --> 00:49:28.760 - of a contract with a private provider. You referenced NDOT, but prior, yeah, without getting into too 00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:38.942 - many details, I think there's some nuance here and MPOs can access the data. It's possible that the state has 00:49:39.138 --> 00:49:46.638 - moved this process to a private contractor. But that doesn't obviate the fact that Indiana code declares 00:49:46.638 --> 00:49:53.923 - it is public record and not classified. We recommend you reach out to in dot about that by submitting 00:49:53.923 --> 00:50:00.637 - a comment through in dot for you. I will. Sorry to interrupt. I will do that. But I need some 00:50:00.637 --> 00:50:07.422 - more information from perhaps engineering or the city in order to formulate that that request. 00:50:08.322 --> 00:50:17.369 - because it doesn't, and first thing I'd like to see is a copy of the contract that has this non-disclosure 00:50:17.369 --> 00:50:26.332 - language in it. Thank you, that's all I really have at this time. Thanks for your comment, Eric. I guess, 00:50:26.332 --> 00:50:35.379 - I'm not sure, MPO staff or engineering or city legal could maybe get in touch with Eric to kind of clarify 00:50:35.379 --> 00:50:36.478 - these things 00:50:37.858 --> 00:50:45.579 - Online I guess online but off off meeting. Yeah I mean two of us don't don't access don't download the 00:50:45.579 --> 00:50:53.224 - data that's actually through the engineering department we can we can research and get an answer back 00:50:53.224 --> 00:51:00.870 - to him in terms of an email. Yes. Awesome. Thanks Pat. Yeah. Any other public comment online. I'm not 00:51:00.870 --> 00:51:07.166 - seeing hands. It's hard to see on zoom here if there are hands but I don't see any. 00:51:07.778 --> 00:51:20.248 - So I wasn't able to expand it but he's all that's there yeah So it does not look like any so I guess 00:51:20.248 --> 00:51:32.595 - This is the motion for anonymous or not a total approval All in favor of Moving the old business FY 00:51:32.595 --> 00:51:37.534 - 2027 2028 unified planning work program 00:51:37.858 --> 00:52:01.050 - Say aye aye Any opposed say nay abstain Seems like we have it. Thank you page 91 to 92 is a proposed 00:52:01.050 --> 00:52:03.806 - amendment I 00:52:06.594 --> 00:52:15.274 - Indot and Federal Transit Administration requires that transit proposed budgets be placed in the local 00:52:15.274 --> 00:52:23.700 - TIP and voted on by the local committees. And so before you today is a request to add a new project 00:52:23.700 --> 00:52:27.998 - to the TIP entitled Purchase of Replacement Buses. 00:52:29.762 --> 00:52:38.453 - Uh, there, there is a project in the tip currently, but it's specific to electric buses. So this one 00:52:38.453 --> 00:52:47.058 - is more general, uh, just for buses in general. And the funding that you see added here is actually 00:52:47.058 --> 00:52:56.007 - a flex funding that came from previous NPO years, uh, where the, the annual allocations, the NPO wasn't 00:52:56.007 --> 00:52:57.470 - able to be used. 00:52:57.602 --> 00:53:07.763 - by the end of the year, and so these amounts, in fiscal year 22 is 69,000, in 23, 3 million, and 24, 00:53:07.763 --> 00:53:17.924 - 168,000. Those amounts were flexed to Bloomington Transit. And unlike the MPO, the Transit's able to 00:53:17.924 --> 00:53:27.582 - kind of bank that money and use it when they wish. However, they are, I believe, a bit worried. 00:53:27.970 --> 00:53:40.575 - Federal Transit Administration is advising everyone to use their funds that they have stored up prior 00:53:40.575 --> 00:53:54.046 - to the expiration of the IIJA in September of this year. And so this is a request for your approval to adopt 00:53:54.178 --> 00:54:05.193 - project called Purchase Replacement Buses to the Tip so that Bloomington Transit can use the funds that 00:54:05.193 --> 00:54:16.631 - were flexed to them in previous three years. And so we're just asking for your recommendation for approval. 00:54:16.631 --> 00:54:20.126 - I guess if there's any comments. 00:54:23.970 --> 00:54:35.669 - look like it. So I guess we'll seek a motion to approve new business BMC MPO FY 20 26 20 30 tip amendments 00:54:35.669 --> 00:54:46.712 - resolution FY 20 26 0 5 Bloomington Transit purchase new buses. All in favor say aye. I said there's 00:54:46.712 --> 00:54:53.054 - gonna be hiccups. Do we have a motion to to approve this. 00:54:54.722 --> 00:55:10.017 - So moved. I'll second. Thanks Neil and Nate. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any abstentions abstain abstain. 00:55:10.017 --> 00:55:23.710 - All opposed say nay. Seems like we have it. Thank you. John you can go to public comment now. 00:55:23.810 --> 00:55:31.616 - Sure. Yes. So now we're at the moment for public comment on matters not included on the agenda. These 00:55:31.616 --> 00:55:39.346 - will be limited to five minutes per speaker. So if anybody has any public comments I'd like to make. 00:55:39.346 --> 00:55:47.075 - Now's your time. Not seeing anybody. I have a public comment. This is as my role as a citizen not as 00:55:47.075 --> 00:55:50.366 - a city of Bloomington staff member and I'm 00:55:51.586 --> 00:55:58.896 - here as a university elementary school parent. There's been a lot of discussion about potentially adding 00:55:58.896 --> 00:56:06.068 - a crosswalk for that school. It is within it's between the schools in the city, the church parking lot 00:56:06.068 --> 00:56:13.100 - is in the county. And I just wanted to bring it up to this group. If anyone is interested in working 00:56:13.100 --> 00:56:20.062 - on this project, I am organizing parents to get together. And I'd love to just wanted to bring that 00:56:20.578 --> 00:56:33.072 - discussion. Thanks. Awesome. Thanks Megan. Any other public comments. I guess we move on. Go for it. 00:56:33.072 --> 00:56:46.060 - So communications from committee members on matters not included on the agenda. If anybody has any thing 00:56:46.060 --> 00:56:50.142 - they want to bring up. I do have 00:56:50.626 --> 00:57:01.231 - One thing here. Oh, actually, sorry. Those are for a different committee. I'm OK. Cool. Or topics for 00:57:01.231 --> 00:57:04.766 - future agendas, I guess, as well. 00:57:05.698 --> 00:57:12.129 - Seems like none. So we'll move on to our upcoming meetings. We have a policy committee meeting on Friday, 00:57:12.129 --> 00:57:18.257 - February 27th. That's at 10 30. It's a hybrid meeting. The next technical advisory committee will be 00:57:18.257 --> 00:57:24.506 - Wednesday, March 25th at 10. I'm assuming these are going to be back in this this room kind of for for 00:57:24.506 --> 00:57:30.573 - the near future. And then we also have the citizens advisory committee meeting that same day, March 00:57:30.573 --> 00:57:33.182 - 25th at 5 30 p.m. And I believe with that. 00:57:34.690 --> 00:57:41.332 - Do we need a motion to adjourn or do we just we just adjourn? Okay. Well, yeah, thanks for being here 00:57:41.332 --> 00:57:48.105 - today Thanks for sticking with me as we kind of had some little Roadblocks along the way, but uh, yeah, 00:57:48.105 --> 00:57:51.166 - we'll adjourn till next meeting. So, thank you
