One requirement of the county's coordinated transportation disadvantaged development plan is that °the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) shall evaluate the performance of the Community Transportation Coordinator and provide a recommendation to the DOPA for continuation or replacement of the Community Transportation Coordinator°. To facilitate this evaluation process, the TDLCB developed a set of criteria for the coordinator evaluation. On September 11, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners, acting as the county's Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA), approved the CTC's evaluation procedures and standards. To conduct the CTC evaluation, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) established a subcommittee, whose purpose was to meet with the coordinator and evaluate the coordinator's performance. Using the criteria established by the TDLCB, as well as evaluation criteria established by the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD), the subcommittee assessed the performance of the Community Transportation Coordinator and prepared a report addressing the coordinator's performance in relation to each of the evaluation criteria. A copy of that report is attached. Based upon its assessment, the evaluation sub -committee gave good marks to the Indian River County Council on Aging as the county's CTC. However, due to the fact that Council on Aging has given its notice of resignation as the CTC, the sub -committee recommended that a new CTC be designated as soon as possible. At its regular meeting on July 31, 1997, the TDLCB approved the CTC annual evaluation report submitted by the evaluation subcommittee. The TDLCB also directed staff to forward the evaluation report to the Board of County Commissioners/DOPA for review and approval. The Indian River County Council on Aging has been the County's Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) since October 1990. In each of the past five years, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) recommended that the BCC/DOPA retain the Council on Aging as the county's CTC. Subsequently, the BCC/DOPA approved the TDLCB's recommendation and retained the Indian River County Council on Aging as the coordinator. This year, evaluation of the CTC was performed by an evaluation subcommittee of the Local Coordinating Board. This evaluation was conducted according to the CTC evaluation procedures and criteria approved by the TDLCB and the BCC/DOPA and the CTD's evaluation criteria. Since the Council on Aging submitted its notice of resignation as the CTC, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board recommended that a new CTC be designated as soon as possible. The Board of County Commissioners, acting as the Transportation Disadvantaged Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA), has two alternatives. The first alternative is to approve the CTC annual evaluation report. A second alternative would be to reject the CTC annual evaluation report and direct the TDLCB to re-evaluate the coordinator. The TDLCB and staff recommend that BCC/DOPA approve the attached CTC annual evaluation report, designate a new CTC as soon as possible, and direct staff to forward the evaluation report to the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board (by a 4-0 vote, Commissioner Ginn absent) unanimously approved the Annual Evaluation Report for 1996-97 and directed staff to forward the Evaluation Report to the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD), as recommended by staff.
