Jefferson City Education Safety Campaign Mr. Bange explained that the Department of Public Works is developing an education campaign to coincide with bicycle lanes being installed in Jefferson City this summer. He is requesting that the Board approve the use of planning funds for an educational campaign. Mr. Bange explained that educational materials would include pamphlets, wayfinding signs and an educational video. Mr. Sanders explained that CAMPO would request a letter from MoDOT for approval to add this item to the work program.

Mr. Silvester left at 1:33 p.m. Mr. Smith moved and Mr. Morasch seconded to direct staff to request through MoDOT approval of the addition of an Education Safety Campaign in the FY2016 Unified Planning Work Program. The motion passed 7 to 1 with the following roll call vote: Aye: Bange, Benz, Kritzer, McMillan, Morasch, Reece, Smith Nay: Hoelscher Pavement Management System Mr. Sanders explained that the Jefferson City, Cole County and Holts Summit met with the Midwest Transportation Center regarding a pavement management system for the CAMPO region. He stated that this is something CAMPO should be doing in terms of planning for operations and management. Mr. Sanders explained that CAMPO proposes to contribute $10,000 towards this project. Mr. Smith explained that pavement management is a rating system where you are not only determining what your pavements condition is today, but in the future as well. He stated that Jefferson City, Cole County and Holts Summit have started this with the idea that it could be a regional project to where anyone in the MPO could join at any time. Mr. Smith explained that the Midwest Transportation Center is offering a 50150 grant which would involve rating pavements for the first year, as well as, help us evaluate and develop our own system. He stated that the grant excludes the cost of the software that we would use for this project. Mr. Smith explained that the total cost of the project is $110,000 which would include helping us from the beginning of the project to the end of the first rating. He stated that this project would rate the paved roads in Cole County, Jefferson City and Holts Summit. Mr. Smith explained that each of these jurisdictions will contribute to the cost of the project. He stated that other jurisdictions can participate but it would be an added cost for that jurisdiction. Mr. Sanders explained that CAMPO would request a letter from MoDOT for approval to add this item to the work program. He stated that if the system resides in CAMPO we can run reports for you, especially for the smaller jurisdictions that it may not be feasible to own their own software. Mr. Sanders explained that the MPO could purchase something that is not in the contract such as software. He stated that users do not have to be within the MPO boundary to participate. Mr. Benz explained that it would benefit Cole County if the software resided in CAMPO. He stated this system will help Cole County choose which roads to overlay and give an explanation why. Mr. Benz explained that the system would require the same person to rate each road so that you have the same rating across your area. Minutes/Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Board of Directors April 20, 2096 Page 4 Mr. Reece commented that if this project is a benefit to Cole County I would support it. He explained that St. Martins has very few road miles. Mr. Smith moved and Mr. Bange seconded to modify the FY2016 Unified Planning Work Program to use CPG funds to purchase accessory items for the pavement management project. The motion passed 7-1 with the following roll call vote: Aye: Bange, Benz, Hoelscher, McMillan, Morasch, Reece, Smith Nay: Kritzer 7. Other Business A.
