8. Other Business
A. Ms. McMillan announced that Mr. Sanders was appointed Senior Transportation Planner for the
MPO.
B. Mr. Crane inquired whether the MPO could utilize economic development funds for the US
Highway 54 and Stadium Boulevard project. Mr. Bange explained that they intend to, however
the applications are due in November and we have not received the Governor's approval on the
TIP amendment.
Mr. Sanders explained that a traffic study is yet to be completed for that area as part of the
grant application.
Mr. Bange commented that time is an issue. He explained that it is an extensive process to
select a consultant for the traffic study.
Mr. Crane inquired whether that money will roll over to next year. Mr. Bange explained that will
cut into the two year time frame to spend the STP funds. He reiterated that timing is an issue.
Mr. Hoelscher inquired whether we could start the traffic study without having the Governor's
approval on the TIP Amendment. Mr. Bange explained that if we want to use federal dollars at
a future date we have to follow federal guidelines.
Mr. Sanders commented that the only money to be spent in FY2013 is the one-half cent sales
tax. He inquired of MoDOT whether they can start the design work to get the traffic study done
and apply for the grant while using STP money as well. Ms. Hoecker explained that OneDOT
requires the Governor's approval before they obligate funds.
Mr. Silvester explained that there are two types of cost share programs: (1) economic
development which are tied to job creation; and (2) cost share funds where an entity comes to
MoDOT with half the money to participate. He stated that there is $20 to $30 million in our cost
share program every year. Mr. Silvester explained that this pot of money is spent through
FY2015. He stated that you can borrow against that money using a state infrastructure bank
loan, which is a low interest loan.
