ITEM NUMBER

[4. Report from the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Chair]

DO WE HAVE A REPORT TODAY? OH, CHAD, YOU'RE GONNA, YES.

GO.

I'LL COVER THAT CHAIR.

UM, SO THERE WAS A MEETING OF THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE LAST MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH.

UH, FOLLOWING APPROVAL OF THE MEETING SUMMARY, WE HAD JUST TWO ACTION ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

THE FIRST OF THESE WAS DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION ON THE 10 YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

RYAN COLLINS WILL BE PRESENTING THIS ITEM LATER IN TODAY'S AGENDA AS WELL.

AND THE TECH, UH, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED BOARD APPROVAL OF THE 10 YEAR PLAN.

THE NEXT ITEM WAS DISCUSSION AND AMENDMENTS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

UM, AS WITH THE TENURE PLAN, RYAN WILL ALSO BE PROVIDING THE SAME, UH, PRESENTATION TO THIS BOARD.

UM, AND AS WELL, THE TECH UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED BOARD APPROVAL OF THE TIP.

UM, WE ALSO HAD AN UPDATE FROM OUR GENERAL ENGINEERING CONSULTANT TEAM ON THE CORRIDOR READINESS SEGMENTATION EFFORTS, UM, SINCE THE PREVIOUS TECH MEETING, THE AD HOC SUB COMMITTEE HAD MET ONCE TO PROVIDE THEIR FEEDBACK ON THAT.

SO THEY'RE REALLY JUST GETTING GOING ON THAT PROCESS AND DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO, UM, UH, PRESENT ON THAT AT THIS TIME.

THEY'RE JUST NOW GETTING INTO THE DATA ON THAT.

UM, WE DID HAVE, UH, NEW COMMITMENT.

WE DID FIND OUT DURING THAT PROCESS THAT WE HAVE NEW COMMITMENTS TO FUND SOME OF THE STUDIES THAT ARE PART OF THE CORRIDOR READINESS PROGRAM.

UM, WHICH SUPPLEMENTS THE FUNDING THAT THIS BOARD APPROVED LAST YEAR.

SO THIS INCLUDES TEXT DOT COMMITTING TO FUND STUDIES ON, UH, FM 7 34 OR PARMER LANE FROM 1431 TO MOPAC, UH, AS WELL AS FM 9 73 FROM US TWO 90 TO FM 1660.

AND THEN WILLIAMSON COUNTY, UH, COMMITTED TO FUNDING THE REMAINING PORTION OF 9 73 WITHIN WILLIAMSON COUNTY FROM 1660 TO USS 79.

UM, SO THAT WAS ALL FROM THE TAC MEETING, BUT I WOULD JUST ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE ONE YEAR TERM FOR TECH UMAC MEMBERS EXPIRES AT THE END OF JANUARY AND A NOTIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT PROCESS WITH APPOINTMENT FORMS AND, UH, INSTRUCTIONS FOR 2023 TAC MEMBERSHIP WILL BE SENT TO BOARD MEMBERS AND TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES, UM, WITH A DEADLINE FOR THOSE APPOINTMENTS, UH, FOR DECEMBER 16TH OF THIS YEAR.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE CHAIR.

THANKS.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHAD? CHAD, IF A, IF A TECH MEMBER LEAVES THEIR, UH, MUNICIPAL TEAM BEFORE END OF THE TERM, DO THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED OR WILL THEY JUST REPLACE 'EM IN JANUARY? UM, SO YOU'RE SAYING FOR THE REST OF THIS YEAR YEAH.

UM, THEY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THIS YEAR, YES.

OF HAS THEIRS IS LENI.

JUST WANTED TO, UM, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM NOT MAY PRETEND ALLISON ALTER.

YES.

UM, HI EVERYONE.

I AM, UH, COUNCILMAN VANESSA FUENTES, AND I WAS JUST ADDED AS AN ALTERNATE, UH, TO THE CITY OF AUSTIN'S APPOINTEE, UH, FOR CAMPO.

AND SO I'M FILLING IN AS A PROXY FOR MAYOR PERIM.

AL, THANK YOU.

AND I ALSO WANTED TO WELCOME COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENS THAT IS HERE FOR, UH, MAYOR MORGAN.

ITEM NUMBER FIVE, PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TIP CHAIR.

UM,

[5. Public Hearing and Presentation of Amendments to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)]

YES.

VERY QUICKLY, SORRY, THIS IS COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS.

I JUST WANTED TO, UM, ANNOUNCE I HAVE THE PROXY OF NATASHA HARPER MADISON.

WE ANNOUNCED THAT EARLIER, SO YOU'RE GOOD.

PERFECT.

UM, SO WE WILL, UM, OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 2 0 4.

IS THERE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AT THE PUBLIC HEARING? NO, NOBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AT THAT.

SO LET'S, UH, DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION RIDE? YEP.

UH, THANK YOU.

SO THIS WILL JUST BE A QUICK PRESENTATION.

UH, THIS IS THE FALL REGULAR AMENDMENT CYCLE, UH, FOR THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AS LONG AS WELL AS THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

UM, AGAIN, WE DO REGULARLY AMEND, UH, THESE DOCUMENTS AND ESPECIALLY THE TIP PROGRAM TO REFLECT ANY CHANGES THAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

UM, AND REGULAR AMENDMENTS ARE THOSE MAJOR CHANGES TO THE PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT.

UM, SO, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S CRITICAL REALLY FOR THE REGIONAL, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR THE TRANSPORTATION POLICY BOARD TO, UH, MAKE THESE APPROVALS CUZ THIS DOES

[00:05:01]

INVOLVE FEDERAL FUNDING.

UM, SO ANY NEW CHANGES TO FEDERAL FUNDING SOURCES, UM, THAT ARE MAJOR CHANGES, UH, DO HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE REGIONAL BODY, UM, WHICH IS WHY WE DO THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

UM, SO WE DO, UH, WE'VE TAKEN THIS TO THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY, UH, COMMITTEE AS CHAD MENTIONED, UH, LAST WEEK.

UM, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO COMMENT ON THE CHANGES TO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IN RTP.

UM, WE DID A PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE, UH, THIS MORNING HERE, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE HOLDING ANOTHER ONE IN LOCKHART ON THURSDAY FROM FOUR TO SEVEN, UH, AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY THERE IN DOWNTOWN LOCKHART.

UM, AFTER THIS PUBLIC, UH, HEARING, WE HAVE AN ONLINE OPEN HOUSE THAT'LL LAST UNTIL NOVEMBER 3RD.

THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO SUBMIT ANY KIND OF ELECTRONIC COMMENTS.

WE WILL PACKAGE ALL THOSE UP AND BRING THOSE BACK TO YOU IN, UH, NOVEMBER, UM, FOR, UH, A, A POTENTIAL ADOPTION OF THE CHANGES TO THE, THE PLAN IN THE PROGRAM.

WE'LL ALSO BE TAKING IT BACK TO THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, UM, FOR A RECOMMENDATION.

SO THE CHANGES, UH, WE, THERE WE GO.

UM, SO THIS IS A LIST OF THE CHANGES.

UH, THESE ARE ALL FOR THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

UH, TWO OF THE, OR THREE OF THE PROJECTS, EXCUSE ME, ARE ROLLING OVER FROM A PREVIOUS TIP AND ARE NOT NEW PROJECTS.

UM, BUT WE DO HAVE TWO, UH, PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING, UH, ADDED TO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

WE HAVE THE CAPITAL METRO DEMAND RESPONSE FACILITY.

UH, THEY DID RECEIVE A GRANT FROM FTA FOR APPROXIMATELY $76 MILLION.

AND SO THAT WILL NEED TO GO INTO THE TIP, UM, AND BE APPROVED BY THE POLICY BOARD BEFORE THOSE FUNDS CAN BE RELEASED.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, THE TECHO, UH, UH, PROGRAM, UH, THE COMMISSION HAS, UH, COMMITTED FUNDING TO, UH, 27 20, UH, DOWN THERE IN CALDWELL COUNTY.

THIS IS IN RELATION TO AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEAL IN THAT AREA.

SO THIS IS POISED TO BE, UH, FUNDED FOR CONSTRUCTION, UM, APPROXIMATELY $50 MILLION.

AND SO, UH, THESE ARE THE TWO NEW PROJECTS THAT DO, DO NEED THAT INITIAL APPROVAL BY THE POLICY BOARD IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND AS I MENTIONED, THE OTHER TWO ARE ROLLOVERS.

UM, AND I DO WANNA JUST POINT OUT, ANYTIME WE MAKE A CHANGE TO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, WE AUTOMATICALLY MAKE THOSE CHANGES IN THE RTP, UM, PURSUANT TO, TO FEDERAL LAW.

THEY DO HAVE TO, UH, BE CONSISTENT WITH ONE ANOTHER.

SO ANY CHANGES IN THE ZIP ARE AUTOMATICALLY REFLECTED.

SO, UM, THAT'S IT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE THE CHANGES, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

UM, SO UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER

[6. Discussion and Take Appropriate Action on September 12, 2022 Meeting Minutes]

SIX.

UH, ACTION.

ON THE MINUTES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 12TH MEETING, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO, OKAY, I THINK THAT CAME FROM COUNCIL MEMBER SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN.

UM, ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT.

SEVEN, DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION ON THE, UM, U P W P AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE.

UM, ITEM NUMBER

[7. Discussion and Take Appropriate Action on FY 2022 & 2023 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Amendment #3]

GOOD AFTERNOON.

UM, I'M TERESA HERNANDEZ, THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION MANAGER.

UM, TODAY WE ARE PROPOSING, OH, LET'S GO OVER THE U P W P.

SO, UM, THE, UH, U P W P IS A FEDERALLY REQUIRED DOCUMENT THAT IDENTIFIES OUR PLANNING, UM, PRIORITIES AND ACTIVITIES.

UM, USUALLY WE AMEND THIS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AND SO TODAY, UM, WE ARE PROPOSING, UM, AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE.

UM, AND THIS ITEM IS TO CARRY OVER, UM, UNENDED FUNDS FROM FISCAL YEAR 2022 TO FISCAL YEAR 2023 ON, UM, SEVERAL OF OUR, UM, PROGRAM ACTIVITIES.

UM, AND THOSE ARE LISTED IN YOUR BACKGROUND PAPER.

UM, THERE IS, UM, AN ERROR ON, UM, SUBTASK 5.2 POINT 10, AND 5.2 POINT 11.

UM, THAT IS THE CHESTNUT STREET CORRIDOR STUDY AND THE AUSTIN AVENUE CORRIDOR STUDY.

UM, IN YOUR GRA BACKGROUND PAPER, IT LISTS, UH, TBG FUNDING, AND THAT IS PL FUNDING.

UM, AND WE ARE ALSO ADDING, UH, $20,000, UH, LOCAL FUNDS FROM THE, UH, CITY OF GEORGETOWN FOR THE AUSTIN AVENUE CORRIDOR STUDY.

UM, ON SEPTEMBER 12TH, THE POLICY BOARD APPROVED CAMPO TO ENTER INTO AN ILA WITH THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN FOR THE AUSTIN AVENUE CORRIDOR STUDY IN WHICH THE CITY WOULD PROVIDE $60,000 OF, UH, LOCAL MATCH AND 40,000 OF IT WAS PREVIOUSLY COMMITTED, AND, UM, WAS LISTED IN THE U P W P.

UM, SO STAFF REQUESTS THAT THE TB, UH, APPROVE THE FISCAL YEAR 20 22, 20 23 U P W P AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE, AND IT'S ACCOMPANYING RESOLUTION 2022 DASH 10 DASH SEVEN.

AND I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS

[00:10:01]

FOR TERESA ON, ARE THERE ANY FINANCIAL RAMIFICATIONS FOR US TO CARRY THIS OVER, OR THIS IS JUST BEING GOOD, JUDICIOUS USAGE OF TAXPAYER FUNDS? UM, WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS IS, UM, USUALLY WE PUT MOST OF THE FUNDING IN, IN THE FIRST FISCAL YEAR, AND IF THOSE FUNDS ARE NOT USED, WE CARRY THEM OVER TO FISCAL 2023 SO THAT WE'RE NOT IN THE NEGATIVE CHAIR.

WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE, UM, CORRECT FUNDING SOURCES, THE PL, IS THAT, WHAT IS THAT, AND IS THAT THE SAME AS, UM, THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING FUNDS? THAT IS CORRECT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

IS THERE A MOTION, UH, TO APPROVE THIS AMENDMENT? MAYOR TRA AND THEN, UM, COMMISSIONER JONES.

I WAS ABOUT TO CALL YOU JUDGE JONES.

MM-HMM.

, I LIKE THEM.

UM, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT.

UH, DISCUSS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON THE CHESTNUT STREET, UM, MULTIMODAL CORRIDOR STUDY.

ITEM NUMBER EIGHT,

[8. Discussion and Take Appropriate Action on Chestnut Street/SL 150 Multimodal Corridor Study Interlocal Agreement (ILA)]

GOOD AFTERNOON.

I'M WILL LISKA, REGIONAL PLANNING MANAGER FOR CAMPO THE CHESTNUT STREET, UH, STATE LOOP ONE 50 MULTIMODAL CORRIDOR STUDY IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CAMPO AND THE CITY OF BASTROP.

CAMPO WILL LEAD A CORRIDOR STUDY ON CHESTNUT STREET AND BASTROP BETWEEN SH 71 AT CHILDERS'S DRIVE TO SH 71 AT DE HEIAN DRIVE.

THIS SECTION OF ROADWAY IS ALSO SIGNED AS STATE LOOP ONE 50.

THIS STUDY WILL IDENTIFY, UM, SAFETY AND MOBILITY NEEDS AND DEVELOP A CONTEXT SENSITIVE TRANSPORTATION VISION AND, UH, AND PLACE MAKING VISION WITHIN KEY FOCUS AREAS ALONG THE CORRIDOR, INCLUDING THROUGH DOWNTOWN BASTROP.

THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WILL FORMALIZE THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CAMPO AND BASTROP, UH, ON THE STUDY, AND ALSO ALLOW FOR THE TRANSFER OF LOCAL MATCH FUNDS FROM THE CITY OF BASTROP.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM, UH, IS TO TAKE ACTION ON THE ILA, BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE NOTE THAT CAMPO HAS ISSUED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR PLANNING SERVICES FOR THIS STUDY WITH A DUE DATE OF FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7TH.

CAMPO STAFF WILL BE RETURNING TO THE POLICY BOARD AT A FEATURE MEETING TO ASK FOR AUTHORIZATION, NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH A TOP RANKED CONSULTANT FIRM FROM THE RFP PROCESS.

NEXT SLIDE.

UH, WITH THAT STAFF REQUESTS THE TRANSFORMATION POLICY BOARD, AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF BASTROP FOR THE CHESTNUT STREET STATE LOOP ONE 50 MULTI-MODAL CORRIDOR STUDY.

SO ON BEHALF OF COMMISSIONER BECKETT, I WILL MAKE THE MOTION, UH, FOR APPROVAL OF THIS .

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN MATEO, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? JUST A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE RFP.

UH, YOU'RE GONNA BE ISSUING AN RFP.

IS THAT FOR ADVISEMENT OR EXECUTION OF THE PROJECT ITSELF? FOR EXECUTION.

LEVELS.

MY QUESTION'S QUITE SIMILAR TO THAT.

UM, I NOTICED THE USE OF THE PL FUNDS AND JUST WONDERED WITH THE RFP PROCESS, HOW FAR THE PL FUNDS WERE GONNA TAKE US.

UM, CUZ I, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE CONSTRUCTION WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING UNDER PL FUNDS.

THIS ISN'T CONSTRUCTION.

IT'S A CORRIDOR STUDY.

SO IT'S, IT'S KIND OF HIGH LEVEL ENGINEERING, RIGHT? CORRECT.

THIS IS A STUDY.

AND ARE THE PL FUNDS THE ONLY BUCKET THAT CORRIDOR STUDIES CAN BE USED UNDER? OR IS THAT JUST THE MOST APPROPRIATE ONE FOR THIS PARTICULAR WORK? IF NOT THE ONLY, UH, CATEGORY COUNCIL MEMBER? UM, SO, UM, CATEGORY SEVEN, THE SURFACE TRANS TRANSPORTATION BLOCK GRANT CAN ALSO BE USED FOR THAT.

BUT THAT'S GENERALLY PROJECT MONEY THAT THE BOARD USES, UH, FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

UM, BUT PLANNING FUND IS, IS PART OF WHAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO UNDER, UNDER FEDERAL RULES.

OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING THE, UM, THE TPG MONEY CAN BE USED MORE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION.

SO YOU'RE TRYING TO HOLD THE PL FUNDS FOR THE CORRIDOR PLANNING PART OF IT? YES.

SO, UM, THE, WHAT'S CALLED PL ONE 12 CAN ONLY BE USED FOR, FOR PLANNING AND PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND, UM, THE CAT CATEGORY SEVEN CAN BE USED FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.

UM, OKAY.

THEM OR, YOU KNOW, PRESERVE THEM.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? AND A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE RFP AS WELL.

UM, SLIGHTLY ONE 50 GOES OVER THE HISTORIC BRIDGE OVER THE COLORADO RIVER.

WILL THAT BE ONE OF THE CRITERIA IN EVALUATING CONSULTANTS FOR THE PRO FOR THE STUDY? CAUSE THEY'RE FAMILIARITY WITH HISTORIC STRUCTURES AND, AND HOW TO PRESERVE AND, AND AUGMENT

[00:15:01]

I GUESS THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE, IN THE SCOPE AS AN ELEMENT, UH, OF CONSIDERATION, UM, HOW THAT WILL BE TREATED, UH, AS, AS PART OF THE OVERALL PLAN FOR THE CORRIDOR.

UM, GREAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

ITEM NUMBER 10, UH

[9. Discussion and Take Appropriate Action on 10 Year Transportation Plan]

OH, I'M SORRY.

NINE.

I'M, I'M CRUISING ON HERE.

ITEM NUMBER 10, THE 10 YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

NINE.

I KEEP NINE .

IT'S 10 YEAR PLAN, BUT IT'S NUMBER NINE.

THANK YOU, .

UM, SO YEAH, THE 10 YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN, UM, WE BROUGHT THIS, UH, TO THE POLICY BOARD LAST, UH, LAST MONTH.

UM, SO WE ARE BRINGING THIS BACK FOR APPROVAL TODAY.

UM, THIS IS THE 10 YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

THIS IS A STATE REQUIREMENT.

UM, AND REALLY WHAT THIS PLAN'S FUNCTION IS, IS REALLY JUST TO PROVIDE SUPPORT, UM, FOR THOSE REGIONAL PRODUCTS THAT ARE AUTHORIZED IN THE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION PLAN OR PROGRAM, EXCUSE ME.

UM, THE UTP IS, UH, WHAT TECHO USES TO SLOT PRODUCTS OVER A 10 YEAR TIME SPAN USING THE, UH, AN UPDATED 10 YEAR FORECASTING, UH, TOOL.

SO, UM, BUT WE DO WORK AND COLLABORATE WITH THE DISTRICT AND, UH, HEADQUARTERS ON THE SELECTION OF PRODUCTS, FOUR CATEGORIES TO FOUR AND 12.

UH, THESE ARE THE ROADWAY PROJECTS THAT ARE LISTED, UH, INDIVIDUALLY IN THE UTP.

AND SO OUR TENURE PLAN IS ESSENTIALLY GOING TO MIMIC THAT JUST TO, TO SHOW THAT SUPPORT FOR THOSE PRODUCTS.

UM, AND BECAUSE THE TENURE PLAN OR UTP IS, UH, UPDATED, UH, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO, UH, TO, UM, SHOW THOSE UPDATED, UH, FINANCIAL NUMBERS, WE ARE GONNA BE UPDATING OUR TENURE TRANSPORTATION PLAN AS WELL.

UM, AND SO JUST TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT WHERE IT SLOTS IN, WE DO HAVE OUR LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WHICH IS A FEDERAL REQUIREMENT, UM, THAT LOOKS OVER 20 YEARS.

UM, THAT DOES, UH, PROVIDE THAT FEDERAL FUNDING ELIGIBILITY, UH, FOR DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS AND STG FUNDING, THINGS LIKE THAT.

UM, AND CRITICALLY THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE IN NPA, SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LISTED THERE.

BOTH THE TENURE PLAN AND THE UTP ARE GONNA JUST REALLY, UM, ON OUR SIDE, IT'LL BE US COORDINATING OUR PROJECT SELECTION WITH THE DISTRICT, UH, FOR THOSE THAT ARE SUBMITTED FOR THE UTP.

AND THEN IT OF COURSE, THE UTP, UH, AUTHORIZES DEVELOPED AUTHORITY AND CONSTRUCT AUTHORITY FOR, UH, MAJOR, UH, ROADWAY PROJECTS.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE TIP, OF COURSE, UM, WHICH IS ACTUALLY DOES THE FUNDING ALLOCATION AND THE LETTING CERTIFICATION.

SO IT'S, WE'RE GONNA SLOT THAT IN, UM, PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

SO IF YOU HAVE, IF YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT YOUR BACKGROUND MATERIALS, IT IS, UH, VERBATIM THE UTP PICKED UP AND PUT INTO OUR TENURE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO, UH, THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.

WE DID TAKE THIS, UH, TO THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, UH, DIDN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND THEY DID, DID RECOMMEND, UM, THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH IT AS IS.

AND SO WITH THAT STAFF AND THE TECH ARE RECOMMENDING THE POLICY BOARD ADOPT THE 10 YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN AS IT'S LISTED IN THE RESOLUTION 20 22, 10 DASH NINE.

AND I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. COLLINS? UH, YES.

A LOT OF IMPORTANT PROJECTS.

YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER.

DID STAFF, AS PART OF THE 10 YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WERE THERE ANY UPDATES OR REVISIONS OR ADJUSTMENTS MADE, UH, CONSIDERING THE ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING THAT WE WOULD BE RECEIVING? OR TO WHAT EXTENT WERE CHANGES MADE ON THE, ON THE PLAN IN THE LIST OF PRIORITIZATION OF PROJECTS? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

UM, YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR THEY UPDATE THE, THE TENURE FORECASTING, UH, LEVELS, AND THEY USE THAT TO SCHEDULE OUT PROJECTS.

AND SO THAT WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE SELECTION OF PROJECTS FOR THE 23 UTP AND BY EXTENSION, OUR TENURE PLAN.

SO THE, THE IJA, UM, YOU KNOW, THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS HAVE BEEN SLOTTED TO THOSE PRODUCTS IN THERE.

UM, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S REALLY ANSWERING THE QUESTION, BUT COUNCIL MEMBER, UM, THE, THE FORECAST, THE REVENUE FORECAST THAT TECH DOT USES FOR THIS DOCUMENT AND THAT WE ALSO USE AS WELL ANTICIPATES THE FORMULA MONEY MM-HMM.

THAT WE RECEIVE, UH, EVERY YEAR BECAUSE, UM, US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION GIVES US A SCHEDULE OF HOW MUCH WE CAN EXPECT TO GET EVERY YEAR SO THAT THAT IS TAKEN TO ACCOUNT.

BUT THE, THE CURRENT FEDERAL BILL WE'RE UNDER HAS A LOT OF NEW DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS IN MM-HMM.

AND, AND THAT MONEY WE DON'T HAVE IN THEM.

CAUSE WE JUST DON'T KNOW UNTIL WE, UNTIL WE RECEIVE IT MM-HMM.

AND SO WHEN WE RECEIVE THE, THAT DISCRETIONARY FUNDING AS PART OF THE, THE INFRASTRUCTURE LAW, WILL THERE BE ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE PRIORITY? YES.

AND WHEN WILL THAT PROCESS OCCUR? SO WHEN WE, WHEN WE RECEIVE, IF WE RECEIVE GRANTS, UH, FOR THAT, YOU'LL SEE IT IN TWO FORMS. ONE WILL BE WE'LL HAVE TO IN, UH, MAKE AMENDMENTS TO OUR LONG RANGE PLAN AND TO OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO INCLUDE THOSE ITEMS, UH, IF THEY AREN'T ALREADY IN THERE.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE FUNDING SHOW UP THERE.

YOU'LL ALSO SEE, SEE THE FUNDING SHOW UP IN A UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM AMENDMENT.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A CHANGE PROBABLY IN TEXTILES UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM.

SO YOU'LL SEE IT IN THREE DIFFERENT SPOTS.

SO IT, IT WILL, DEPENDING ON WHEN WE RECEIVE OR, OR RECEIVE NOTICE THAT WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE.

[00:20:01]

CORRECT.

ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.

ON ITEM NUMBER NINE, , IS THERE A MOTION? COMMISSIONER JONES? MAYOR SCHRADER.

UM, ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY.

NUMBER 10, UM, AUTHORIZE, UH, MR. JOHNSON TO BEGIN NEGOTIATION WITH THE NORTHEAST BURNETT COUNTY CORRIDOR STUDY CONTRACT.

NOW, ITEM

[10. Discussion and Take Appropriate Action to Authorize CAMPO Executive Director to Begin Negotiation on Northeast Burnet County Corridors Study Contract]

GOOD AFTERNOON.

THIS ITEM IS FOR, UM, CONTRACT FOR THE NORTHEAST BURNETT COUNTY CORRIDOR STUDY.

SO THIS WILL ALSO BE A STUDY, UM, WITHIN THE NORTHEAST SECTION OF BURNETT COUNTY.

YOU'LL SEE THE STUDY AREA INCLUDES TO THE NORTH OF STATE HIGHWAY 29, UM, TO THE EAST OF FM 9 63.

AND THEN OVER ON THE EASTERN SIDE, THAT'S THE BURN WILLIAMSON COUNTY LINE AND TO THE NORTH HIGHWAY 180 3, AND ALSO THE BELL BURNETT COUNTY LINE.

SO WE WILL PRIORITIZE LOOKING AT EXISTING ALIGNMENTS AND EXISTING FACILITIES TO SEE WHAT TYPES OF IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE, UM, IDENTIFYING CURRENT AND FUTURE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS, AND THEN ADVANCING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR, UM, FUTURE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PHASES.

SO THIS WILL BE A HIGH LEVEL FEASIBILITY STUDY.

UM, IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, RYAN.

UM, SO WE DO NOT HAVE AN EVALUATION MATRIX IN HERE.

THIS RFP WAS PUT OUT TWICE.

THE FIRST TIME WAS IN JUNE.

WE RECEIVED ONE, UM, PROPOSAL FOR THE, UM, FOR THIS STUDY.

UM, AND SINCE THERE WAS ONLY ONE PROPOSAL, WE WANTED TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE, WE PUT OUT, UM, AN RFP THE SECOND TIME.

WE KEPT THE BUDGET THE SAME, BUT TOOK OUT THE ENGINEERING TASK, WHICH CAN BE, UM, QUITE EXPENSIVE AND QUITE LENGTHY.

AND THEN WE ALSO REDUCED THE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES PHASE.

SO RATHER THAN THIS GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND CHOOSING A PREFERRED ALIGNMENT AND GOING INTO LIKE A 30% DESIGN STAGE, UM, WE ARE GOING INTO A FEASIBILITY STUDY THAT WILL STOP AROUND THE, THE PHASE OF IDENTIFYING SOME, UM, ALTERNATIVE, UM, ROUTES OR ALIGNMENTS.

SO, UM, WE REDUCED THAT SCOPE, UM, WHILE KEEPING THE BUDGET THE SAME.

UH, THE SECOND TIME WE ISSUED THE PROPOSAL, WE RECEIVED THE SAME CONSULTING FIRM WAS THE ONLY ONE TO SUBMIT.

UM, SO WE FEEL WE'VE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE HERE.

UM, WE EVALUATED THE PROPOSAL AND FOUND, FOUND IT QUITE RESPONSIVE TO THE RFP.

SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE BOARD AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE A CONTRACT FOR THE NORTHEAST BURNETT COUNTY STUDY.

ANY QUESTIONS OR IS THERE A MOTION? I, I GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

MADAM CHAIR.

UH, JUST GIVING HOW INTERESTING IT WAS LIKE READING THE BACKGROUND MATERIAL.

IT'S LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, CAN YOU PUT IT OUT ONCE ONLY ONE PERSON RESPONDED, PUT IT OUT AGAIN.

SAME PERSON RESPONDED.

AND NOW YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES YOU MADE, UM, BETWEEN THE TWO DIFFERENT RFPS.

I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION WOULD BE, ONE, CAN WE GO BACK TO THE FIRST SCOPE WITH THE SAME PRICE? IS THAT YOUR QUESTION? UH, .

YOU KNEW WHERE I WAS GOING.

SO QUESTION TWO AFTER THAT IS THIS.

SO WHAT DO YOU, WHAT DO YOU, UH, ATTRIBUTE THAT TO? IS THERE SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR THAT, UM, REGARDING THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, SPECIALTY OR SOME ASPECT THAT WASN'T NECESSARILY AS APPEALING OR, UM, ENTICED TO THE MARKET? OR MAYBE IT WAS JUST THAT, JUST LIKE YOU SAID, YOU HAVE A TOP RANK AND I DIDN'T SEE WHO IT WAS CAUSE I DIDN'T SEE IT IN THE BACKGROUND MATERIAL, BUT, UM, TOP RANK CONSULTANT WHO DID RESPOND, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS PROJECT THAT, THAT WE DIDN'T GET THE RESPONSES WE NECESSARILY ANTICIPATED? SO COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, I'LL, I'LL TELL YOU, AFTER WE ONLY GOT ONE THE FIRST TIME, UM, I REACHED OUT TO DIFFERENT FIRMS TO TRY TO GET SOME FEEDBACK.

AND WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS THEY THOUGHT THE, THE INITIAL SCOPE WAS WAY TOO BIG FOR THE BUDGET.

SO THAT'S WHEN WE WENT BACK AND WE REVISED IT.

UM, NOW BY THE TIME WE ISSUED AGAIN, WE ALSO HAD TWO OTHER THINGS THAT WERE EITHER OUT ON THE STREET OR ABOUT TO COME OUT ON THE STREET.

AND SO THE OTHER FIRMS WERE TELLING ME THEY WERE TRYING TO DECIDE WHICH THING THEY WERE GOING TO APPLY FOR.

MM.

UM, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T, THEY DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE GONNA GET TWO OR THREE CAMPO CONTRACTS AT ONCE.

SO THEY WERE HAVING TO PICK AND CHOOSE AND A LOT OF THEM CHOSE TO GO EITHER WITH THE GEORGETOWN OR THE BASH PROP.

WORK.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

IS IT PUBLIC? WHICH FIRM IT IS? IT'S COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS? YES.

IT'S W S P.

WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES HERE ON HERE.

AUDIENCE.

NOW I HAVE NO QUESTIONS, JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE KNEW WHO IT WAS IN CASE THERE WERE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONFLICTS BEYOND THAT.

MM-HMM.

, JUST TO CLARIFY, IT'S WSB AS IN BOY.

I KEEP SAYING PARSON SPRINKLER HALL.

SO,

[00:25:03]

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IS THERE A MOTION? ALL RIGHT.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JONES.

ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT.

NUMBER 11, UH, FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION FOR BREAKER LANE EXTENSION.

NOW.

ITEM

[11. Discussion and Take Appropriate Action on Functional Classification for Braker Lane Extension Projects]

UH, THANK YOU.

SO THIS IS JUST A QUICK ITEM.

THIS IS A FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION CHANGE.

AND, UH, IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR, UH, WE DO HAVE TO MAKE FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION CHANGES TO THE ROADWAY NETWORK, UM, TYPICALLY TO, UH, REFLECT CHANGES SUCH AS CONNECTIVITY, TRAFFIC, AND CAPACITY CHANGES THAT HAPPEN OVER TIME.

UH, ONE OF THE CRITICAL THINGS THAT FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION DOES IS THAT AUTHORIZED, UH, FEDERAL FUNDING HAS TO BE SPENT ON A FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF A MINOR COLLECTOR OR ABOVE.

UM, SO WE HAVE TWO PROJECTS, UM, BREAKER LANE AND BREAKER, LANE NORTH.

UM, THESE ARE SPONSORS.

CITY OF AUSTIN IS, UH, SPONSORING BREAKER LANE, UH, FROM DOS TO SAMSUNG BOULEVARD.

AND THEN, UH, TRAVIS COUNTY IS DOING BREAKER LANE NORTH, WHICH IS FROM, UH, SAMSUNG BOULEVARD, I THINK, TO HARRIS BRANCH PARKWAY.

UM, SO THEY'RE DOING THOSE IN PARTNERSHIP, BUT IN ORDER FOR THOSE TO RECEIVE FEDERAL FUNDING, THEY DO HAVE TO BE FUNCTIONALLY CLASSIFIED.

UM, THEY'RE CURRENTLY UNCLASSIFIED.

THIS IS AN EXTENSION OF THE, UH, THE CURRENT BREAKER LANE, UH, ROADWAY.

UM, AND THESE WERE FUNDED BACK IN 2018 DURING THE, UH, PROJECT CALL.

SO THE, UH, CITY OF AUSTIN PORTION FOR BREAKER LAND IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD, I BELIEVE IN MARCH OF 23 IS WHERE IT'S CURRENTLY SCHEDULED TO LET, UM, BUT IN ORDER FOR THAT TO, UH, MOVE FORWARD, WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION.

SO, UM, WE ARE RECOMMENDING, SINCE IT'S UNCLASSIFIED NOW, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THESE BE, UH, CLASSIFIED AS A MINOR ARTERIAL.

UM, AND THAT'S BECAUSE BREAKER LANE IS, UH, THE EXISTING BREAKER LANE IS CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED AS A MINOR ARTERIAL.

SO WE'LL JUST BE EXTENDING THAT CLASSIFICATION, UH, TO THESE NEW, UH, UH, ROADWAY SECTIONS.

UM, AND SO WITH THAT, UM, I'LL BE ASKING THE POLICY BOARD TO APPROVE THOSE CHANGES.

UM, AGAIN, THE POLICY BOARD DOES HAVE TO APPROVE ALL FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION CHANGES.

UM, AND THEN THAT'S PUT TOGETHER IN AN APPLICATION THAT GOES TO THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION.

NOW, THEY DO MAKE THE FINAL DETERMINATION, REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE DECIDE TO DO HERE, BUT IT DOES HAVE TO BE APPROVED, UM, BEFORE THAT APPLICATION PROCESS CAN START.

UM, IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE POLICY BOARD.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY.

UH, PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, UM, BUT LOOKING FORWARD TO GET THESE PRODUCTS, UH, MOVING FORWARD.

SO, UM, WITH THAT, UH, I'LL BE ASKING THAT THE POLICY BOARD, UH, APPROVE THE, UH, REQUESTED CLASSIFICATION.

I'LL MOVE APPROVAL.

IS THERE A SECOND? COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN.

ANY QUESTIONS? THIS IS A FAIRLY ROUTINE THING.

MM-HMM.

NO QUESTIONS.

UM,

[12. Executive Director’s Report on Transportation Planning Activities a. 2023 Transportation Policy Board Meeting Schedule b. Update on Corridor Readiness Segment Prioritization Efforts]

ITEM NUMBER 12.

UH, THANK YOU MADAME CHAIR.

UM, SO I'M JUST GONNA COVER THE MEETING.

SCHEDULE 12 B WAS COVERED IN CHAD'S REPORT WHEN HE DID THE TECH UPDATE.

SO, UM, IN YOUR PACKAGE, YOU'LL SEE THE, THE MEETING SCHEDULE FOR THIS BODY FOR NEXT YEAR.

AND I'LL JUST POINT OUT, UM, THAT YOU'LL SEE MEETING DATES FOR, UM, MARCH AND JULY, UH, AND DECEMBER, THOUGH WE KNOW THAT THIS BODY, IF POSSIBLE, LIKES TO NOT MEET DURING THOSE TIMES.

SO WHAT WE SCHEDULE THEM JUST IN CASE WE NEED THEM, AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL, UH, CANCEL, UH, AS WE GET CLOSER, AS ONCE WE CONFIRM THAT WE DON'T NEED THOSE MEETINGS.

I'LL ALSO POINT OUT THAT, UM, YOU'LL SEE THAT NEXT OCTOBER'S MEETING IS ALSO A WEEK EARLY INSTEAD OF THE SECOND MONDAY.

IT'S THE FIRST MONDAY AGAIN, UH, TO AVOID THE HOLIDAY.

SO, UM, WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE, RYAN, JIM.
