    Public Comment – Jim Nowacki, Gary resident, commented on the sinkhole on State Route 51 in Hobart and potholes on the US Highway 12-20 and State Route 53 projects. He conveyed his disappointment in the RDA once again holding their board meeting at the same date and time as NIRPC’s board meeting.


    Minutes – On a motion by Jim Ton and a second by George Topoll, the minutes of the March 15, 2018 Executive Board meeting were approved as presented.


    Report of the Executive Director – Ty Warner introduced Dominique Edwards, NIRPC’s Public Participation Planner, and announced the Brownfields Education Panel on April 25 from 8 am to 11:30 am at the NIRPC- Forum Offices in Portage. The schedule of public meetings for the 2050 Plan was available. Mr. Warner also directed attention to the Local Trax Program for rail overpasses, as there is hardly a community in Northwest Indiana unaffected by rail crossing issues. He thanked INDOT for the program and offered NIRPC staff’s assistance if communities need help with the application.


    Trey Wadsworth presented on the 2050 Plan. Ten public meetings, nine of which are accessible by public transit, will be held around the three-county region. Engagement will also be solicited through internet surveys and NIRPC’s committee meetings. Plan adoption is scheduled for May 2019. Ty Warner commented that the Northwest Indiana Forum kicked off their regional economic development strategy project in which we are also involved and this process will be in sync.


    In response to a request for information several months ago by Ed Soliday, a joint presentation was given by INDOT and NIRPC staff on Vehicular Traffic Planning for South Lake County. Matt Deitchley and Lyndsay Quist outlined a plan stemming from HEA 1002, a 20-year funding plan for state and local highway investment. The South Lake County plan calls for $5.1 billion to repair existing infrastructure in the first five years with a Next Level Roads initiative for larger projects down the road. For more information go to NextLevelRoads.INDOT.in.gov. Trey Wadsworth and Scott Weber discussed congestion management

    in the region through the performance-based planning process. Congestion measures and targets will be set by INDOT later this year. For more information, email Trey at twadsworth@nirpc.org.


    Report of the Chair – Geof Benson said he and Ty Warner were invited to Las Vegas next month to attend a project demonstration event on Hyperloop development. Mr. Warner and Benson explained it was a sealed tube or system of tubes through which a pod may travel free of air resistance or friction conveying people at high speeds while being very efficient, similar to the bank deposit tubes at a drive-through. In a global competition, the Chicago-Columbus-Pittsburgh corridor was selected for further exploration, and they will join colleagues from this corridor in the trip arranged by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission in Columbus


    Finance & Personnel Committee – George Topoll said the committee met this morning to review the financial status, reconciliation of expenses, and approve the claims register. No action was required by the Commission today.


    Legislative Committee – Mary Tanis said the Times ran a story this morning on the support of the South Shore by Congressman Visclosky. The General Assembly will meet in a special session on May 14. Kathy Luther described the need for support for ongoing funding for coastal programs. Contact Mary Tanis or Tom McDermott for more information.


    Environmental Management Policy Committee – Bill Emerson, Jr. said the committee held a joint semi- annual meeting earlier in April with Urban Waters. DNR presented on the Indiana Stream and Wetland Mitigation Program. This program will fulfill mitigation permits as required by the Army Corps of Engineers, Indiana Department of Environmental Management, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water. The next meeting is May 3 at 9 a.m. The committee is looking for presenters on issues like chromium, lead, Kankakee River issues, etc.


    Technical Planning Committee – Kevin Breitzke reported that the Technical Planning Committee met last Tuesday and heard updates and a presentation on the 2050 Plan Development. A 30-day public comment period was held from March 5 to April 4 on the draft FY 2019-2020 Unified Planning Work Program with no public comments received. INDOT had several technical comments which did not result in any significant changes. Trey Wadsworth overviewed Resolution 18-08, the draft FY 2019-2020 Unified Planning Work Program consisting of $2,514,629 in planning activities just in 2019 and $2,527,445 in 2020. On a motion by Kevin Breitzke and a second by Michael Griffin, the Commission voted to adopt Resolution 18-08, the draft FY 2019-2020 Unified Planning Work Program.


    James Winters explained the 7-day public comment report on Amendment #12 to the FY 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program went from April 3 to April 10. No comments were received. The amendment lists several funding increases and well as decreases. On a motion by Kevin Breitzke and a second by Andrew Kyres, the Commission voted to adopt Resolution 18-09, Amendment #12 to the FY 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program. In other reports, Mitch Barloga said the TIGER grant is doing another round in June and we will be submitting another application.

Meetings will be held on May 11 in La Porte, May 12 and May 15 at NIRPC. The next meeting of the Technical Planning Committee is scheduled for May 8, 2018 at 9 a.m. at NIRPC.

Approval of Minutes

The minutes of the April 19, 2018 meeting were approved as presented on motion by Jim Ton and second by Richard Hardaway.


Review of Financial Status – April 2018

  1. Daria Sztaba presented the April bank reconciliations for the NIRPC general fund account, the LaPorte County Revolving Loan fund and the Sequestered Revolving Loan Fund. Kathy Luther gave a brief history of the LaPorte County Revolving Loan Fund (RLF). Roughly one or two people apply for loans per year.

  2. Daria Sztaba presented the Budget to Actual Expenditures Report for January through April 2018. Salaries, fringe benefits, maintenance, contractual and capital outlays categories are all currently under budget. Daria noted line items Workers Compensation and Unemployment Compensation reflect an over budget variance due to staff additions. The occupancy category is 1% over budget due to the utilities line item and may need a budget amendment as the year progresses. The departmental category is 11% over budget, but there is enough money left for the year. Total expenditures of the NIRPC general fund are at

$89,604 for the year, which is 7% under budget.


Review of Financial Status – May 2018

  1. Daria Sztaba presented the May bank reconciliations for the NIRPC general fund account, the LaPorte County Revolving Loan fund and the Sequestered Revolving Loan Fund.

    $75,000 was transferred from the Sequestered Revolving Loan Fund to the Revolving Loan Fund for disbursement to an approved RLF loan borrower.

  2. Daria Sztaba presented the Budget to Actual Expenditures Report for January through May 2018. The salaries, fringe benefits, maintenance, contractual and capital outlays categories are all currently under budget. The occupancy category remains 1% over budget due to the utilities line item, but may even out as the year progresses. A brief discussion was held regarding utilities. The departmental category is 12% over budget and discussions to address spending will need to be held with department directors. Total expenditures for the NIRPC general fund are at $185,089 for the year, which is 12% under budget.


    Approval of Claims Register – April 2018

    Daria Sztaba presented the April 2018 claims register to the Committee for approval. A check was issued to South Shore Clean Cities for the first quarter payment on their $100,000 contract

    which is paid though the CMAQ grant. NIRPC paid subrecipients their first quarter payments using Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds. NIRPC draws down FTA funds and once the funds are received, payment is made to the subrecipients. On motion by Jim Ton and second by Richard Hardaway, the Committee approved the claims register.


    Approval of Claims Register – May 2018

    Daria Sztaba presented the May 2018 claims register. A payment to Walmart for Partners for Clean Air purchase of bikes was questioned. Kathy Luther explained that while the money is part of the NIRPC account, Partners for Clean Air money is funds from outside partners. A question was raised regarding a payment to Adams Radio Group. Kathy Luther explained that Adams Radio Group owns four different radio stations and was procured for air quality public education. Not only do they own a van that allows for mobile on-site radio remotes but they also provide a good deal of in-kind match with no cost air quality messages and promos. On motion by Christine Cid and second by Justin Kiel, the Committee approved the claims register.


    Procurement Recommendations – Procurement #18-11

    Daria Sztaba reported procurement 18-11 is for two propane replacement vehicles for LaPorte TransPorte which will be purchased using a Federal Transit Administration grant. The transit support vehicles will replace two gas powered vehicles which have reached their federal useful life at a cost not to exceed $140,800 in federal funds. On motion by Richard Hardaway and second by Justin Kiel, the Committee approved the procurement for recommendation to the Executive Board.


    Other Business – Internal Control Procedures

    Daria Sztaba presented an update to NIRPCs Internal Control Overview Documenting Segregation of Duties. Organizational and staff changes have been made resulting in the need for an update. Discussion was held regarding the Family Express gas card and check deposits. In reference to the gas card, a suggestion was made to record the NIRPC van mileage when the card is checked out for usage. Daria will also check to clarify if the card can only be used for gas purchases and nothing else. In reference to the check deposit discussion, while procedures for check handling were addressed in the mail section of the document, there will be a separate section for check handling added. The updates will be made and presented at the next Finance and Personnel meeting in July.


    Adjournment

    There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m.

Public Comment Report

Amendments #13 and #14 to the FY 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission

July 2, 2018


Amendments #13 and #14 of the 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program were released for a 30-day public comment period which began on June 1, 2018 and ended July 1, 2018. The amendments were made available at www.nirpc.org. One comment was received.

The comment and staff response follow.


Comment Received

Manner Considered by Staff

Significant?

Need to Modify?

If it is planned to leave big potholes in residential roads like Forest Dr. Then classes should be held to teach us how to fix our own streets.

A reply email was sent out asking for further clarification. No response was returned.

No

No


The projects that were part of Amendments #13 were already part of the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). Per the NIRPC Public Participation Plan (PPP) an amendment must undergo a 7-day (for minor amendments) or a 30-day (for major amendments) comment period. NIRPC decided to put this project on a 30-day comment period to match Amendment #14 (for INDOT projects being added to the TIP). This comment period lasted from June 1 to July 1, 2018. No public meeting is required for these amendments.

These amendments were created with the input of both the Lake - Porter and the LaPorte Transportation Resources Oversight Committee (TROC). The membership of these committees consists of representatives of the local public agencies (LPAs) that are located within the Lake, Porter and LaPorte Counties urbanized areas. As outlined in the NIRPC committee structure, this is the first step in the approval of an amendment. Following the TROC meeting, the amendment and any comments received are presented to the Technical Planning Committee (TPC) for a vote on whether or not to recommend adoption of the amendment to the NIRPC Commission. The NIRPC Commission is provided with the amendment and any comments received are provided to the Commission as part of the agenda packet. The Executive Board (or Commission, if it is a full commission meeting) then votes on whether or not to adopt the amendment.

NIRPC always appreciates constructive suggestions in how it can continue to improve its outreach activities. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Hopefully the above information helps to shed light on the process of creating and approving TIP amendments. This comment and any others received will be provided in a public comment report to the TPC as well as the NIRPC Commission prior to any action by those bodies. This comment report will also be made publicly available on our website at www.nirpc.org.
