Discussion of Future STP Project Application Process Ms. McMillan explained that in 2010 the Board of Directors adopted an STP application process that selected the Jefferson Street/Stadium Boulevard project. Mr. Morasch explained that the application for the Jefferson Street/Stadium Boulevard project would need to be revised to meet MoDOT's current standards. He stated the City of Jefferson would be applying for additional funds for that same project. Mr. Morasch agreed that 60 days would be sufficient. Mr. Knipp explained that CAMPO's current balance is $586,856. He stated a future allocation of $200,851 is anticipated October 1, 2013 for a total allocation of $787,707. In response to a question from Mr. Crane, Mr. Morasch clarified he plans to request $787,707 in STP funds for this project, and fund the remainder of the project with local funds. He explained that the total project cost is approximately $3 million. Mr. Crane suggested that the Board of Directors be asked if the City would move forward with the Jefferson Street/Stadium Boulevard project rather than call for projects. He explained that he would recommend 90 days for future application processes. Mr. Crane stated that the Board should consider this project since it is a priority project. Mr. Morrison inquired of the timeline. In response, Mr. Morasch explained that MoDOT would prefer the project be obligated for construction within two (2) years. He stated that this project could be done in phases so as not to interfere with the Lafayette Street interchange project. Mr. Sanders inquired whether there is a danger of losing funding given it has been six (6) years and funds have not been obligated. Mr. Knipp explained that the program is only funded through FY2014 and would take Commission action to fund it beyond that point. He stated that CAMPO would have to accrue $1.2 million before they would be in jeopardy of losing funds. Mr. Knipp explained that their reasonable progress program is two (2) years from programming to construction award. He stated that MoDOT will work with the City especially if this project is done in phases. Minutes/Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization June 6, 2013 Technical Committee Page 3 Mr. Crane commented that he would support this if the current allocation is committed to the Jefferson Street/Stadium Boulevard project and any future allocations would go towards future projects. He stated that he does not want to keep letting the funds accumulate to $1.2 million and then move the project forward. Mr. Crane moved and Mr. Morasch seconded to (1) allow a 60-90 day application process for future calls for projects and (2) recommend allocating $787,707 to the Jefferson Street/Stadium Boulevard project. The motion passed unanimously. B. Mr, Engelbrecht announced that the Federal Highway Administration awarded $150,000 to Missouri for the Highways for Life Grant. He explained that these funds are allocated to the districts to put high friction surface treatments on roadways to prevent slide offs. Mr. Engelbrecht stated that the treatments will be used on Highway 179 near Route C and on Highway 54 at Madison Street. C. Mr. Lynch gave an update on "MO On The Move", MoDOT's 20 Year Transportation Plan.
