The RLRTP is the CCC’s primary means for coordination. It identifies transportation improvements that agencies in the region will plan for, design and construct over the next 25 years and beyond. These maps are consistent with the MPOs’ Long Range Transportation Plans and will become part of the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority Master Plan.

II. ADDITION TO THE WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA REGIONAL ROAD NETWORK The purpose of the public hearing is to afford the public the opportunity to comment on the addition of Forest Lakes Boulevard (from Tampa Road to Racetrack Road) and Racetrack Road (from Tampa Road to Forest Lakes Boulevard) to the regional road network. The West Central Florida regional road network includes four types of roadways, including existing and

III. 2015 FDOT DISTRICT 7 REGIONAL MULTI-USE TRAILS (MUT) ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM AND TRANSPORTATION REGIONAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM (TRIP) The purpose of the public hearing is to afford the public the opportunity to comment on the 2015 Regional Multi-Use Trails (MUT) Enhancement Program and 2015 Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) for FDOT District 7. Each year the CCC updates its list of Regional Priorities for its Multi-Use Trails Element. An extensive set of criteria were used to select and rank regional project priorities. The priority list is used to guide the allocation of new funds intended for the construction of regional trails and enhancement projects. State funds are made available through the TRIP Program to help local governments and others pay for transportation projects that benefit regional travel. To be eligible for TRIP funding, projects must be regionally significant, identified on the CCC’s Regional Long Range Transportation Plan, and appear in local governments’ Capital Improvements Elements (CIE). Also, there must be a commitment for the remaining matching funds.

PUBLIC HEARING 2014 FDOT DISTRICT 1 AND FDOT DISTRICT 7 REGIONAL MULTI-USE TRAILS (MUT) ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM PRIORITY LIST

Hugh Pascoe, Pascoe Planning, gave an overview of the MUT selection process.

Steve Diez, Chairman of the Multi-Use Trails Committee, reviewed changes to District One’s list:

o Perico Island Preserve Multi-Use Trail: design change o Coon Key Bridge Bike/Pedestrian Improvements: design and cost change

2

Mr. Diez noted that 2a and 2b on District Seven’s list are part of the Coast-to-Coast Connector that recently received $15 million of funding.

Michael Howe, Sarasota/Manatee MPO, inquired about the change from Transportation Enhancements (TE) to Transportation Alternatives (TA), which reduced the amount of funding available.

Lee Royal, FDOT D7, clarified that TA funding does not require projects be on state facilities, unlike TE funding, which makes it applicable to more projects. Laura Lockwood, FDOT D1, commented that FDOT is stressing the importance of regionalism when funding projects.

Motion to approve the 2014 Regional MUT Priority lists, pending ratification by the Sarasota/Manatee MPO, was made by Commissioner Crozier; seconded by Commissioner Lindsey; passed unanimously.

2014 FDOT DISTRICT 1 AND FDOT DISTRICT 7 TRANSPORTATION REGIONAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM (TRIP) PRIORITY LIST

Mr. Pascoe gave an overview of the TRIP selection process.

Mr. Kordek and Mr. Howe reviewed District One’s TRIP list. o Two highway widening projects o Three intersection improvement projects (two with roundabouts) o Five projects total $13.27 million in TRIP requests.

Mr. Pascoe reviewed District Seven’s TRIP list. o Thirteen highway projects o Three transit projects o Thirteen ITS/ATMS projects o Twenty nine projects total $180.9 million in TRIP requests.

Upon call for public comment, Vik Bhide from the City of Tampa provided additional information about the City’s TRIP funding request to upgrade the extremely outdated traffic signal system that no longer meets federal standards and is no longer being manufactured. The City of Tampa ATMS project is listed at #2 on District Seven’s list.

Councilman Jim Bennett, Sarasota/Manatee MPO, noted a light in Westshore that needs to be retimed. Mr. Bhide explained that the outdated system does not allow dynamic light timing based on time of day and congestion; the new system would have that function.

Summary

2040 Regional Projects and Longer Range Needs of the Region Maps The Regional LRTP is the CCC’s primary means for coordination. It identifies transportation improvements that agencies in the region will plan for, design and construct over the next 25 years and beyond. These maps are consistent with the MPOs’ Long Range Transportation Plans and will become part of the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority Master Plan. Addition to the West Central Florida Regional Road Network It was requested that Forest Lakes Boulevard (from Tampa Road to Racetrack Road) and Racetrack Road (from Tampa Road to Forest Lakes Boulevard) be added to the regional road network. The West Central Florida regional road network includes four types of roadways, including existing and future SIS designated facilities and other existing or future roads determined to be of regional significance but not designated as part of the SIS. Regional Multi-Use Trails (MUT) Element Each year the CCC updates its list of Regional Priorities for its Multi-Use Trails Element. A list of the Multi-Use Trail and Enhancement Projects for the MPOs/TPOs in FDOT Districts 1 and 7 are attached, along with a map depicting the locations of the priority projects. Priority recommendations were initially developed by the Multi-Use Trails Committee and reviewed by the MPO Staff Directors. An extensive set of criteria were used to select and rank regional project priorities. The priority list is used to guide the allocation of new funds intended for the construction of regional trails and enhancement projects.

Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Annually the CCC updates is list of eligible projects for the Transportation Regional Incentives Program (TRIP). As seen on the attached spreadsheet, TRIP funding requests are prioritized for the MPOs/TPOs in both FDOT Districts 1 and 7. The TRIP program was created through Growth Management Legislation to help improve regionally significant transportation facilities. By means of the TRIP program, State funds are made available to help local governments and others pay for transportation projects that benefit regional travel. To be eligible for TRIP funding, projects must be regionally significant, identified on the CCC’s Regional Long Range Transportation Plan, and appear in local governments’ Capital Improvements Elements (CIE). Also, there must be a commitment for the remaining matching funds. For other public transportation facilities or services not maintained/operated by local governments, specific requirements may apply regarding the verification of matching funds. The attached spreadsheet was developed in accordance with the requirements for TRIP fund eligibility. As required for TRIP funding, the projects have been placed into relative priority order. Separate rankings were developed for project submittals in FDOT Districts 1 and 7 since TRIP project selection does not compete across district boundaries. The following criteria were applied when developing project rankings:

- Congestion - Constrained Facility - Encourages/Supports Growth in Desired Area - Trip Length/Transit Desire Lines - Supports Facilities that Serve National, Statewide, or Regional Function - Functional/Service Classification - Continuation of previously TRIP Funded Project - Local match

Recommended Action

It is recommended that the Board approve the 2040 Regional Projects and Longer Range Needs of the Region Maps, the additions to the West Central Florida Regional Road Network, and the 2015 Multi-Use Trails (MUT) and Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Priorities.

procedural rules adopted by the CCC, then finally to the most recent edition of Robert’s

Rules of Order.

As an alternative to the provisions of this Section, a Party or Parties may enter into an

agreement with TBARTA to provide professional services and organizational and

meeting support that is at a minimum consistent with this Section. In such an event, a

lead Party shall be designated each year to administer such an agreement with TBARTA.

Section 6. Staffing, Professional Services and Financial Support of Entity – The

Parties agree that the Directors and Managers of the CCC members will be responsible

for carrying out the regional work programs and coordinating process as directed by the

CCC, provided, however, that should a direction of the CCC directly conflict with the

officially-adopted policy direction of a CCC member, staff of that member may ask that

the work in question be performed by staff of some other member . Expenses concerning

projects assigned to a lead CCC member may be paid by the regional set-aside as

specified in its Unified Planning Work Program. The provision of professional services to

the administrative entity, including legal review, shall be as agreed by the CCC members

from time to time, with the exception that no legal counsel shall be required to render

advice to the entity or representation to the members thereof absent each individual

member's waiver of any conflict and authorization of joint representation, as provided for

by Florida Bar Rule 4-1.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CCC members do not

authorize this administrative entity to incur for itself any cost or expense, nor to obtain or

retain funds from any source. The entity created by this Agreement is not authorized to

conduct any banking or other financial transactions of any kind, nor to receive or disburse

any funds. Instead, all financial support for this entity, including the payment of costs and

expenses related to its operation, shall be borne by CCC members, on an equitable basis

taking into account the relative size of the member as measured by budget and

population. The voting Members of the CCC may, as authorized by each member or

agencies’ governing board, adopt more specific financial support allocation methods as

may be deemed necessary, and may appoint a lead member to receive and administer

funds for the entity. Specifically, one member or partner agency of the CCC may take the

lead on a portion of any projects and programs of the CCC and be reimbursed by another

member or partner agency of the CCC without creation and execution of a new Interlocal

Agreement consistent with approval by each respective member or agencies governing

board and MPOs Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) authorization. Such

governing board approval shall be deemed an addendum to this agreement, which shall

be a financial obligation of the member enforceable by the lead member. The CCC

members agree to work together to seek new sources of funding to assist the members

with the added costs and expenses associated with the operations of this new

administrative entity.

Section 7. Record Keeping – Staff of the host CCC member or TBARTA, as applicable,

shall provide a recording secretary for public meetings. Record keeping and other clerical

responsibilities shall be the duty of the host member staff consistent with the rotation for

hosting the meeting or TBARTA as applicable. All minutes shall be distributed to

Page 5 of 12

members prior to the next quarter. Records shall be maintained in accordance with the

public records law, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes.

Section 8. Conflict Resolution – A conflict resolution process is adopted which will be

used to resolve disagreements regarding interpretation of the interlocal agreement or

disputes relating to the development or content of the regional plan. If the Parties to this

Agreement fail to resolve any conflicts related to issues covered in the Agreement, such

dispute will be resolved in accordance with the "West Central Florida Metropolitan

Planning Organizations Memorandum of Understanding for a Conflict Resolution

Process (June 2001)."

Section 9. Risk of Loss - The Parties acknowledge that as a mere administrative entity,

the CCC cannot sue, be sued, nor bear any legal liability. Therefore, the Parties agree that

each shall continue to maintain such insurance coverage as may be required to cover the

additional risks associated with membership and participation in the CCC entity.

Members covered by a self-insurance program shall notify their respective covering-

entities of this agreement so that any added risk may be factored. The Parties further

agree that under no circumstances shall any member of the CCC seek to recover against

any other member for any loss associated with this Agreement or the work of the CCC.

Section 10. Duration of Agreement – This Agreement shall have a term of five years

from the effective date and shall automatically renew at the end of said five years for

another five-year term and every five years thereafter. At the end of the five-year term

and at least every five years thereafter, the Parties hereto shall examine the terms hereof

and agree to amend provisions or reaffirm the same. However, the failure to amend or to

reaffirm the terms of this Agreement shall not invalidate or otherwise terminate this

Agreement.

Section 11. Termination – This Agreement shall continue in force until terminated with

or without cause by a unanimous vote of the MPOs.

Section 12. Modification – This Agreement may only be modified by a unanimous vote

of the MPOs. Amendments or modifications to the Agreement shall not become effective

until executed and recorded in the public records of the counties of each participating

MPO.

Section 13. Rescission – Any MPO may terminate its participation in this Agreement

upon thirty (30) days written notice. Notice of intent to terminate shall be given to the

other member agencies. Said notice shall be transmitted to the official office of the

member agencies by certified mail, return receipt requested. The 30-day notice

requirement shall commence upon giving of the notice.

Section 14. Filing and Recording –As required by §163.01(11), Florida Statutes, this

Interlocal Agreement shall be filed with the Clerks of the Circuit Courts of Hernando,

Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sarasota and Citrus Counties, Florida.

This Third Amended and Restated Agreement does not become effective until recorded

in each county and shall continue to be effective thereafter in accordance with Section 10

of this Agreement. Until the Third Amended and Restated Agreement becomes effective,

the Second Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement shall remain in effect.
