Ms. Ange stated it comes to together in the end for the establishment of the regional goals and regional prioritization procedures. The three counties have come together with the interlocal which states that the counties will agree on how the regional dollars are to be spent. For the three counties it is the TRIP dollars, for the two (St. Lucie and Martin) counties it is the TMA funds. Two separate sets.of regional prioritization procedures should not be created. It is making sure that Indian River County has a"seat at the table", the vision exercise that has been gone through, the adopted plan is factored in and a three county modal is being used. The data associated does factor in Indian River County's information. It is making sure that as the scenario planning and the regional goal setting is being done, that Indian River County is a part of that process. Mr. Brillhart stated the additional dollars will be approximately$25 thousand that will be shared between Martin and St. Lucie counties.

AGENDA ITEM#6: CONSIDERATION OF REGIONAL CANDIDATE PROJECTS FOR TRANSPORTATION REGIONAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM (TRIP) FUNDING Mr. Brillhart stated when the growth management bill was passed last year; one of the components was the TRIP. The stated purpose of the program is to encourage regional planning by providing state matching funds for improvements to regionally significant transportation facilities identified and prioritized by regional partners. Staff from the St.Lucie, Martin and Indian River MPOs and FDOT met regularly for the purpose of developing a three county travel demand model. The resulting three county model, known as the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Model (TCRPM), formed the technical basis for both the Martin/St. Lucie 2030 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan and the Indian River.County 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan. Between March and April TCTC Meeting minutes 05.18.06 Page 3 of 9 of 2006, a three party interlocal agreement was entered into by the three MPOs. The Treasure Coast Transportation Council (TCTC) was created through this agreement. Execution of this agreement and creation of the TCTC fulfilled the second threshold requirement of TRIP eligible groups. The priorities endorsed by staff are as follows: Project FDOT Priority Activi Martin County MPO 1. Western Palm City Corridor-PSL Blvd. to SR714/CR76A 152, 3 Construction 2. Monterey Road-CR A-1-A to Monterey Commons 1, 2, 3 Construction 3. Green River Parkway-Jensen Beach Blvd. to SR707 1, 2, 3 Construction St. Lucie MPO 1.

Design Indian River County MPO 1. Oslo,Road-10th Avenue SW to 27t1'Ave. 1, 2, 3 Construction 2. CR512-Interstate 95 to Sebastian Middle School 1, 2 Construction Inter-county Regional Project Future Research Highway-CR609 extension from SR710 in Martin County to Indian River County 1, 2 PD&E Study Commissioner Neuberger asked for the name of CR 609. Commissioner DiTerlizzi stated Allapattah Road in Martin County out of Indiantown. Mr. Brillhart stated it goes to Rangeline Road in St. Lucie County to Old FFA Road then curves over. Mr. Matson's statements are inaudible. Showed where CR609 goes into Indian River County on the map which was 82nd Ave. Mr. Brillhart stated that Mr. Wolfe, District four secretary has comments to add. Mr. Wolfe's comments are inaudible. Ms. Miller's comments are inaudible. Ms. Perrotta's comments are inaudible. Commissioner DiTerlizzi asked how long the money can be carried over. Is there a limit? TCTC Meeting minutes 05.18.06 Page 4 of 9 i Mr. YVolfe's comments are inaudible. Mr. Drummond asked as part of the interlocal agreement, it would be determined how the matched dollars are shared. Ms. Miller's comments are inaudible. Commissioner DiTerlizzi asked about the requirements of the TRIP dollars regional significance. Mr. Wolfe's comments are inaudible. Commissioner DiTerlizzi asked if the requirements for the TRIP dollars are that they are of regional significance. dr. Wolfe's response was inaudible. Commissioner DiTerlizzi asked would it be interconnections. If projects were given that are not intercounty connected, would the projects be dropped off the list versus inter-county projects? Mr. Wolfe's response was inaudible. Commissioner DiTerlizzi stated his.concern would'be if a road was widen east/west in individual communities and was capacity related it may not meet the criteria but if it was agreed to be put on the list,FDOT would not deny it. Mr. Wolfe's response was inaudible. Commissioner DiTerlizzi asked if the projects the three counties have listed meet the criteria. Mr. Wolfe's response was inaudible. Commissioner DiTerlizzi stated good, great. Mr. Drummond asked if the Future Research Highway was staff's recommendation. Ms. Perrotta's response was inaudible. Commissioner Craft stated his concern regarding the Future Research Highway. He does not think the St. Lucie MPO Board has had a lot of discussion regarding it and nor has the St. Lucie County Board of County Commission really looked at this. Actually, the discussion of the St. Lucie BOCC had been kind of in a reverse direction. The Board is not fond of this particular highway; because it encourages more sprawls that what is being experienced. If this is something that has made a list,it needs to go back to the respective Boards and be discussed in detail. Mr. Matson'response was inaudible. TCTC Meeting minutes 05.18.06 Page 5 of 9 Commissioner Craft stated that it concerns him that it has been put on a list and it has not been discussed by the St. Lucie MPO. Commissioner Smith stated as a thought, a few years ago when the regional planning council took the three counties and lined up the DRI's; he was thinking how were all the people going to get to I-95 and to this section of the region. It would be encouraging to recognize the DRI that will be happening between the three counties that somehow the people in the capacity of the turnpike and I- 95 as it exists today through the region is going to need a western edge. A question to Mr. Wolfe, the district's funding as a total, assuming all the projects are under the same usage criteria,use or lose it by the end of 2007. If for some reason.there is a project that is anticipated outside of this portion of the district that is in another portion of the district; what happens to that money when there is no conceivable way it is going to get built? Does that money get re-allocated to other parts of the district? Mr. Wolfe's response was inaudible. Ms. Miller.stated the monies come to district four; the funds were sub-divided between the southern and northern regions on an 85/15 split based on the normal statutory distribution. At this point, because of rolling forward FY 05/06 money into FY 06/07, much of that is needed to get underway in FY 06/07 as possible. The southern region has not approached the district yet, stating they won't _ be able to utilize all of their.funding. That scenario will have to be worked through whether those funds would be rolled forward to FY 07/08 or re-distributed within the district for potential use from the northern region. Commissioner Smith stated he wanted to set the stage, if there is any consideration that the district is eight months away from the end 1 of that period and there is are three proj ectsthat are active and there is a way to say, if FDOT is going to take that money back and re-distribute through the state system can there be a recognition of how to re-distribute it within the entire district four versus the south region. Mr. Wolfe's comments were inaudible. Commissioner Smith asked if transit will be a part of the discussion. Mr. Wolfe's comments were inaudible. Commissioner Craft stated that he appreciated the comments and look forward to having a conversation with the St. Lucie MPO but that is what concerns him. It is important that it is looked at and it is something that is being moved ahead and it has not been discussed on the St. Lucie MPO. -It is important to have that discussion before considering moving forward with the PD&E study. A presentation to St. Lucie MPO regarding the issue so a formal discussion could be addressed would be important moving to the next step. Mr. Drummond asked what the time line was for the TCTC to make a recommendation. TCTC Meeting minutes 05.18.06 Page 6 of 9 Mr. Wolfe's comments were inaudible. Mr. Drummond stated the TCTC is supposed to adopt the projects that are a part of each county's MPO that have already endorsed them. Commissioner Neuberger made a motion to endorse the TRIP projects of each county. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion was approved'unanimously. Commissioner DiTerlizzi asked if these projects were ready-to-go projects for construction. Ms. Perrotta s comments were inaudible. Commissioner DiTerlizzi stated the three projects in St. Lucie and Martin and the two projects in Indian River; if one falls off will.they go to the next one; project three or to the other one in the other county. Ms. Perrotta's comments inaudible. Ms. Miller stated it depends on how the Boards would like FDOT to approach the list. If the list is designated on a per.county basis with in the region, if number one was dropped off in a county, it would go the number two in that county. Or if they were presented as a combined list negating where the physical county boundary was; FDOT would gothrough the list as the projects were being ineligible. It depends on how the TCTC want FDOT to approach the grouping. Mr. Drummond stated that he did not get a sense that the motion was going to create one priority list; itis by county. Commissioner DiTerlizzi stated he assumed it is the way it is presented to the TCTC. He does not mind the individual order that each county has presented them in but if full funding was gotten it would be a total of a million five plus a million one for Martin County. So then that could be put . towards Martin County's projects. The eight million dollars for St. Lucie would go to their three and the same thing for Indian River in the amount of two to three million dollars. It is new to him that Indian River is sitting at the table, they are in a different MPO region, are there separate TRIP funds in their region outside of these TRIP funds? Ms. Miller stated Indian River County is not in a separate region. They are a member of the TCTC, there are two regions within district four; while there are three MPOs that make up and comprise that region. Commissioner DiTerlizzi asked if Indian River County was part of a regional MPO,part of Brevard County. . Ms. Miller stated no, they are a stand alone MPO. Commissioner DiTerlizzi stated Indian River County's funds are the three percent total like Martin County's three percent funding total. TCTC Meeting minutes 05.18.06 Page 7 of 9 Ms. Miller stated that was correct. f AGENDA ITEM#7: DISCUSSION OF ITEMS/HOST/TIMEFRAME FOR NEXT MEETING Mr. Drummond stated he saw something regarding June 28, does the TCTC need to meet ahead of that. Commissioner DiTerlizzi stated June 28 is the Florida Associations of Counties annual conference. Mr. Drummond asked what was the intent of how often the TCTC should meet, as needed, quarterly or what? Mr. Brillhart's comments were inaudible. Ms. Perrotta's comments were inaudible.
