6.Old Business
A.Proposed Amendment to the 2017-2021 TIP (Transportation Improvement Program):Functional
Classification Revision for an Extension of Mission Drive.(Continued from October 6,2016).
Mr. Sanders introduced the project and gave an overview of the process leading up to the application for
TIP amendment. He stated that the project is a request for a functional classification of a 1400 foot proposed
extension of Mission Drive. Mr. Sanders explained that CAMPO staff, city staff, MoDOT, and FHWA have
discussed the project and believe that the project does not meet requirements of fiscal constraint as stated in
US DOT guidance.
Mr.Kersten stated that he believes the project does meet guidance for fiscal constraint and that the section
of proposed roadway should be eligible to be put into the TIP and classified as a collector.
Mr. Sanders explained that the project can only be given a functional classification if it is shown in the TIP,
and by reference in the STIP,as being fiscally constrained before classification can occur. He also stated that
this project is seeking Missouri Transportation Finance Corporation funds and the requirements state that a
federal aid highway must be documented as having fiscal constraint before application for those funds.
Mr.Henderson explained that the letter from Hawthorne Bank does not show a commitment to funding. He
stated that when projects are added to the TIP it is a fiscal commitment to be built.
Mr. Kersten agreed, but stated that he felt the project met the MoDOT guidance of a "reasonable
expectation"of funding support.
Mr. Morasch stated that there is currently no funding commitment from the City of Jefferson to complete
this project and that it is not currently fiscally constrained.
Mr. Smith asked if the committee believes the project meets fiscal constraint and whether the project
should be recommended to the Board of Directors for approval.
Mr. Morasch moved and Mr. Smith seconded to recommend approval of the proposed TIP amendment to
the Board of Directors. The motion failed 0-8, with 4 abstaining, with the following roll call vote:
Aye:
Nay:Bange,Benz, Elliott,Gates,McMillan,Morasch,Sanders,Smith
