I Ic recon)p)cndccl Icaving a placcholdcr for I`Y201 1 and FY2012 but take it out 1161- FY2013 and FY2014. Mr. Robinett explained that a note should be included I'01- Section orSection 5309 funding that it is subject to carn)arks. Ile stated that Missouri is not getting scar as n)uch as it used to and with Senator Bond retiring this year it could be even less in the future. Mr. Robinett recommended the Section 5307 MoDO Y banding be shown as State fransportatiot] Funding, with the an)ount for FY201 I shown as $10.000. Mr. Morrison said staff will recommend to the Board of Directors that the TIP be released for public comment at their July 21, 2010 meeting. C. Funding of Transportation Studies Mr. Morrison explained that staff is seeking $200,000 ill S'1 P funding for a t)<u)sportation planning study to be incorporated into the Long Range fransportation Plan, as well as $50,000 for the local match. Ilc stated that we arc envisioning that this plan will be similar to the 2003 Cour)ty-Wide Transportation Study and will consist of travel demand modeling and recommendations for in)hroven)ents. Mr. Motrison requested that CAMPO members contribute toward the local n)atch. Ile explained the time franc is to start the study in 2012 with the plan completed by 2013. Ms. McMillan pointed out that numerous projects identified in the 2003 County -Wide Fransportation Plan have been conpletcd. She strggcstcd programming this project for the FY2012 work program. Mr. Benz pointed out that the 2003 County -Wide Iransportation Plan was Iunded by Cole County. Mr. Morrison explained that staff is recommending three proposals: Proposal 1: CAMPO employs consultants to u>ncfuct a study 01' the eptire metropolitan arca; use Slrl JaCe Transportation Program (STP) funding which requires a local match of 2W(', (estimated at $50,000); and establish a committee of local jurisdiction representatives to ovcrsec the project. Proposal 2: Cole County and .lefferson City hire consultants and pay Jot a h'ansportation study of Colc County; Callaway County and Monts Summit hire consultants apd pay for a transportation study 1161- Callaway County; and CAMPO integrates the studies into a single Long Range Transportation Plan. Proposal 3: MODOT hires consultants to develop transportation studies for the Metropolitan Planning ;area. does travel demand 161-ccasting, uses MoDOT and local resources such as land use ill lormatlon.. traflic counts, and accident data, in addition to public participation activities; apd use in-kind services for local match to leverage STP lands. Ile stated that advantages to this proposal include: (I) MoDO F has in-house Modeling capability and cxperieucc; (2) it becomes a resource for MoDO I: (3) it makes use of") 11) funding: (4) it provides a foundation for a future MoDOT prograril such as the Virginia DOT Small Urban Area Transportation Plans progran). Mr. Dusenberg commented that Alternate Proposal Three would be n)orc of a statev-vide implementation and would affect not only CAMPO but all small MPO's. Ile explained that with the curtcnt funding 1Cl CS he cannot imagine that District 5 would be amenable to something like this because they need all of the fundip.( just to maintain the roads they have. "Vinulc', C'upitul . freu /1lciro/wliton Plcmnin C)r,uni�ulio�r Tcc lmic of ( olllmillcc Ath, I, 20/0 /NYc -1 Mr. Robinett explained that (here was a Federal Register announcement for I lGFR 11 Plannntcr and Community Challenge Funds from iIUD for an 80 percent federal and 20 percent local grant program. Mr. Duscnberg suggested avoiding having Callaway County and halts Summit hire a consultant aml pay for a Transportation study, likewise fior Cole (hunty and Jcfferson City. IIc stated that the first proposal would be the ideal one to where a consultant conducts the study of the entire mcinTohmn area and each entity in the planuing arca would pdrtrcipafc, in funding. Mr. Robinett commented that there could be combined programs which will give addithmal Funding, sotreces outside oFwhat we have been used to Ior the, last 10 to I5 years. Mr. I rampe commented that MoD0yr is going to take care of what Mey have unless adclitiolml Ponds come in. I le stated that the local match may be better spent on Taking (are or we System needs such as ovellys or whatever needs to be done. Mr. l..andwehr commented that in this economy it would be difficult to commit to a study at this timc. Mr. Sanders commented that we are required to have a plan in place by April 201 3, Mr. Trampe suggested looking at what is required and go with the minimum Rw now. IN explained that as revenues turn around at that time conduct a traffic study to see what we need and where we need it. Mr. Duscnberg pointed out that the new census data could change the dynamics of the MI') and possibly bring new members to be incorporated into this study that could also bring money to the table. I N suggested waiting until ager the Census data is available before implementing something. Mr. Barron commented that our assumption on future funding may have too much of an impact on the need for a transportation plan. Ile stated that the reality is we have a very old transportation plan that is rapidly going out of date. Ms. McMillan suggested including this plan in the FY201 I work program and not wait until IY20 Q Mr. Dusenberg commented that he does not have a prublem with including this study in the TIP in order to make everyone aware of it. IN stated that you do not want to include the study in the TIP then put Jefferson City or (`ole County on the hook Por funding when there is no confirmation that they will do that. Mr. Chrscnbery pointed out that based on discussions in the past it is likely that Ilohs Summit and Callaway County will not fund it either. Mr. Robinett suggested indicating that ,you are preparing a preliminary work in and at some point in 2011 you may have a better feel for where you are headed. Mr. Robinett explained that he is under the; impression that they are not going to change the urbanized area definitions very much. Mr. Morrison inquired of the Committee's preference whcthcr to leave the study in the TIP or rcnimc it. Ms. McMillan expressed concerns that if the study is not in the TIP people will be unaware of our timeline. Mr. Robinett commented that this is just a component of rmr LRTP He suggested discussing with the Committee the whale sequence of how you see this and don't put a specific date but a timeline ofsomc sort. Mr. Dusenbmy commented that this definitely needs to be done. Ile stated that CAM P0 does not want to be caught wit not having the study done and some sort of ARRA funding or some big pot of Funding comes along and we have nothing to work off of. Ms. McMillan suggested including the study on the illustrative list.
