Ms. McMillan explained that MPO staff will be talking with Wardsville and Taos about whether they want to be included in our planning area. D. Roadway Functional Classification Update Mr. Morrison explained that MoDOT is updating the urban area boundaries and the functional classification of roadways to account for the changes in urban area boundaries. He stated that CAMPO was offered an option to change Route J to a minor collector. After additional discussion, the Technical Committee concurred with that recommendation. E. Surface Transportation Program (STP) FY2012 Allocation Mr. Morrison explained that MoDOT has announced that CAMPO has an FY2012 allocation of $200,851.70 with a total balance of $386,005.05 Mr. Crane added that last year the Board of Directors awarded STP funds to the City of Jefferson for engineering and right-of-way acquisition for the Jefferson Street and Stadium Boulevard project. He stated that since there was uncertainty of the availability of future STP funds the Board elected to spend the funds rather than let them accumulate. Mr. Bange explained that at the present time the project has not moved forward and those STP funds have not been obligated. Mr. Crane commented that if those funds are not going to be used for that project then they need to be put back in the pot and have a call for projects. Mr. Engelbrecht explained that it is possible that there will be a future allocation of STP funds under the new transportation bill, MAP -21. Mr. Bange explained that MoDOT does not obligate funds until the project has been awarded to a contractor. Mr. Morasch explained that the Jefferson Street and Stadium Boulevard project is on hold until certain issues can be addressed. He stated that the Board should be informed that this project has been delayed and that there are other worthy projects that need to be addressed. Minutes/Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization September 6, 2012 Technical Committee Page 3 Mr. Robinett explained that several MPOs adopted a policy on reasonable progress because there were difficulties with STP funds not being spent. He stated that municipalities adopted policies on how long those sub -allocations can remain with that jurisdiction before such time that those funds go back in the pot. Ms. McMillan explained that staff will research the Board's decision and report back. Mr. Engelbrecht explained that Dion Knipp will attend the October 4, 2012 meeting to discuss the STP program. 9.
