7. New Business
A. Transportation Improvement Plan
a) Change CAMPO TIP Year to coincide with MoDOT STIP Year
b) Change TIP from 4 years to 5 years
Mr. Sanders is proposing to have CAMPO's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) coincide with
MoDOT's State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) since they are on different Fiscal Years.
He stated that MoDOT's STIP is updated annually and covers a five (5) year period whereas CAMPO's
TIP is updated every two (2) years and covers a four (4) year period. Mr. Sanders explained that the Cape
Girardeau and St. Joseph MPO's are on a five (5) year TIP schedule.
Mr. Engelbrecht explained that this would eliminate splitting funds since the TIP and STIP overlap.
Mr. Benz moved and Mr. Sanders seconded to (1) change CAMPO's TIP year to coincide with
MoDOT's STIP year; and (2) change CAMPO's TIP from four (4) years to five (5) years. The motion
passed unanimously.
c) Revised TIP Application Form
Mr. Sanders explained that he simplified the TIP application form. He encouraged the project sponsors
to add a brief description of the project in lieu of staff drafting a TIP summary sheet. Mr. Sanders
explained that this form will be used for new projects and amendments. He stated that a written
explanation would suffice for administrative modifications.
B. Review and Discussion of FY2014 Upcoming Tasks
Mr. Sanders discussed the following tasks for FY2014:
• Review and evaluate the MTP development process and propose improvements to the process and
the plan;
• Assist jurisdictions in the production of comprehensive and transportation plans;
• Update the following plans: (1) Limited English Proficiency Plan, March 2014; (2) Public
Participation Plan, April 2014; (3) Memorandum of Understanding, May 2014; (4) Procedure and
Bylaw Manual, July 2014; and (5) Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, August 2014.
Mr. Latuszek inquired whether there is anything on the horizon for freight planning. Mr. Sanders explained
that he would like to be more proactive on soliciting information on how the transportation system is
working.
Mr. Crane inquired whether the update of the Bylaws and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) would
be by committee. Mr. Sanders explained that would be up to the Board of Directors discretion.
