Mr. Morrison explained that MoDOT has announced the availability of Transportation Enhancement and
Safe Routes to School funding. He stated that applications are due November 5, 2012 with project selection to
be announced by January 7, 2013.
Mr. Engelbrecht added that there are $3.1 million available in Transportation Enhancement funds for the
Central District and $4.1 million in Safe Routes to School funds statewide.
C. Future land use and roadways (update & discussions)
Mr. Sanders explained that the next step will be to send the following layers to the consultant for the Travel
Demand Model: (1) zoning layer; (2) land suitability layer; (3) future road layer for the years 2020 and 2035;
and (4) anticipated future land use for the years 2020 and 2035. He stated that MoDOT is in the process of
revising the adjusted urban area which may impact our planning area.
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.

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.
