Electronic Meeting via Zoom May 21, 2020 Minutes
Chairman, Michael Griffin, called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance.
This meeting was convened as an electronic meeting, pursuant to Governor Holcomb’s Executive Order 20-04 and 20-09, and extended by Executive Order 20-25, allowing such meetings pursuant to
IC 5-14-1.5-3.6 for the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency. All persons were meeting remotely on a Zoom platform that allowed for real time interaction, and supported the public’s ability to observe and record the proceedings. When the agenda item provided for public comment, this was supported as well.
The 29 Commissioners present included Janet Beck (Pottawattomie Park), Geof Benson (Beverly Shores), Kevin Breitzke (Porter County Surveyor), Charlie Brown (Lake County Council), Bill Carroll (Lake Station), Robert Carnahan (Cedar Lake), Daina Dumbrys (Michiana Shores), Bill Emerson (Lake County Surveyor), Michael Griffin (Highland), Richard Hardaway (Merrillville), Eric Hull (Burns Harbor), Tim Jones (Kouts), Justin Kiel (La Crosse), Robert Lemay (Long Beach), Sue Lynch (Portage), Sheila Matias (LaPorte County Commissioner), Wendy Mis (Munster), Diane Noll (Wanatah), Duane Parry (Michigan City), Jerome Prince (Gary), Carolyn Saxton (Ogden Dunes), Tom Schmitt (Schererville), Brian Snedecor (Hobart), Ed Soliday (Governor Appointee), Joseph Stahura (Whiting), Greg Stinson (Porter), Gerald Swets (St. John), Mary Tanis (Dyer), and George Topoll (Union Township). Also present was Adam Parkerhouse representing INDOT.
The 21 Commissioners absent included Kyle Allen (Lake County Commissioner), David Anderson (Winfield), Duane Arndt (Kingsford Heights), Jeanette Bapst (Dune Acres), Jim Biggs (Porter County Commissioner), Anthony Copeland (East Chicago), Joshleen Denham (Trail Creek), Tom Dermody
(La Porte), Tony Hendricks (LaPorte County), Jack Jeralds (Schneider), Andrew Kyres (Crown Point), Jeff Larson (Porter County Council), Lori Mercer (Westville), Tom McDermott (Hammond), Edward Morales (Porter Township), Matt Murphy (Valparaiso), David Peeler (Hebron), Michael Rosenbaum (LaPorte County), Rick Ryfa (Griffith), Sharon Szwedo (New Chicago), and James Ton (Chesterton).
Kingsbury, Lowell, and The Pines have appointed no representatives to NIRPC.
Staff present included Ty Warner, Kathy Luther, Charles Bradsky, Scott Weber, James Winters, Mitch Barloga, Flor Baum, Candice Eklund, and attorney Dave Hollenbeck.
There were no public comments.
The minutes of the January 16, 2020 Full Commission meeting were approved on a motion by Geof Benson and second by Robert Carnahan.
Michael Griffin discussed the vacancy on NIRPC’s Executive Board caused by the resignation of Will Farrellbegg from the Town Council of Lowell. Michael, out of the powers of the Chair, created an ad hoc nominating committee consisting of NIRPC’s officers and the Immediate Past Chair. The nominating committee met on May 8, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. via Zoom platform. After consultation of the members, they recommended the consideration in favor of Mary Tanis with the Town of Dyer. Ms. Tanis accepted the nomination. On motion by Richard Hardaway and second by Geof Benson, the Chair received a motion to approve the appointment of Mary Tanis to the unexpired term of vacancy on the Executive Board. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Carolyn Saxton, Tom Schmitt, Brian Snedecor, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed.
Ty Warner said it was great to see the faces of those attending the meeting. Ty recognized there were many backlogged items on the agenda because a Commission meeting had not been held since January due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An update was provided on NIRPC staff successfully working remotely since mid March and will continue to do so based on Governor Holcomb’s phased approach. During this time, all NIRPC committee meetings have been cancelled with the exception of the virtual Technical Planning Committee (TPC) meeting held on May 12, and Finance & Personnel Committee and the Full Commission meetings being held virtually today.
Mr. Warner noted NIRPC’s desire to revise the committee meeting structure by further streamlining of NIRPC’s subcommittees. The Commissioner interest survey sent out last week for committee participation has been revamped to now gather information for the Commissioners general interest rather than preferences for specific committees. The survey also includes demographic questions for Title VI and NIRPC’s Economic Development District (EDD). Ty expressed his appreciation to the federal partners who have been very accommodating during the pandemic amidst the challenges of working and meeting remotely.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed on March 27, and NIRPC is directly involved with two of the programs in two agencies. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) relieved $25 billion to urbanized areas at 100% federal funding with no local match needed. NIRPC negotiated with the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) in Chicago, who NIRPC shares funding with, to d receive $75 million for the Northwest Indiana transit operators. The funds have already been dispersed to the transit operators, with the bulk of the funding being awarded to the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD), who had a significant loss in ridership and to also ensure the West Lake and Double Track projects can still proceed. Ty acknowledged NIRPC staff for their quick turnaround and follow-through with these funding opportunities.
Ty pointed out that the Economic Development District (EDD) designation was awarded to NIRPC last fall just in time to be able to receive funding from the $1.5 billion released nationwide by the Economic Development Administration (EDA). NIRPC will receive an institutional grant to develop programs to help with the economic recovery and will work with the EDA to develop a strategy. There is $225 million in funding available for the Chicago Area Region 5, with one half of that funding available for competitive projects. Communities can apply for these funds for economic development recovery due to the pandemic. While EDA grants typically require a 50% local match, these funds from the CARES Act are at 80% federal/20% local, and in some cases the federal share may be 90% or even 100%. Gabrielle Biciunas is NIRPC’s contact person for assisting communities with their applications to the EDA.
Communities are encouraged to act quickly, as it is a competitive situation. Funding for competitive funded grants are available until September 2022.
Michael Griffin thanked Ty for his leadership and his report to the Commission.
Michael Griffin referenced the Sense of the Commission letter composed on behalf of the Commission, and sent as a cover letter pursuant to the instruction the Commission approved to prepare a resolution with regard to the Lake Michigan erosion remediation. The resolution and cover letter sent to Governor Holcomb generated the interest that the governor had asked for. The governor did not declare a state of emergency for Lake Michigan but he did take many steps requested in the resolution. The Director of Homeland Security as well as a representative from our state Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), contacted Mr. Griffin to discuss the implications of the resolution. They explained why they did not feel they were ready to proceed with the declaration of emergency, stating specific dates, times, and dollar amounts are desirable. As a result of this information, a survey was sent to the riparian communities for additional information. The results of the survey will be directed to the Governor’s office, copying the Director of Homeland Security, to provide additional facts and data in hopes they will take steps to inform the governor. Without acquiring a state declaration, a federal declaration cannot be obtained, which is necessary to receive any federal assistance. Geof Benson added that without assistance from the state, county, or federal levels, the communities affected by the erosion are battling the high lake levels alone. Carolyn Saxton noted the financial impact for the Town of Ogden dunes had been submitted and asked Mr. Warner if there was a total financial impact from all of the communities along the shoreline. Mr. Warner will provide the information to Carolyn Saxton after the meeting.
Richard Hardaway reported the Finance & Personnel (F & P) Committee met this morning to review the financial reports for December 31, 2019 and February 2020 as well as the bank reconciliations for 2020. Mr. Hardaway stated there were five actions for consideration today.
Richard Hardaway said Procurement 20-08 was for two South Shore shuttle connect buses for the City of Valparaiso and comes with a favorable recommendation from the F & P Committee. On motion by Robert Carnahan and second by George Topoll, the Full Commission voted to approve the purchase of two South Shore shuttle connect buses. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Carolyn Saxton, Tom Schmitt, Brian Snedecor, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed.
Richard Hardaway said the purpose of the Brownfield Coalition Assessment Contract is to combine eligible environmental protective services. NIRPC has already received a $600,000 Brownfield Assessment Coalition Grant which will cover the amount of this contract for $499,800. The approval of the Brownfield Coalition Assessment contract comes with a favorable recommendation from the F & P Committee. On motion by Geof Benson and second by Kevin Breitzke, the Full Commission voted to approve the Brownfield Coalition Assessment contract for $499,800. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Carolyn Saxton, Tom Schmitt, Brian Snedecor, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed.
Richard Hardaway said the contract with South Shore Clean Cities (SSCC) for professional services is not to exceed $350,640. The purpose of the contract is for air quality and public education through social media for FY 2021 and comes with a favorable recommendation from the F & P Committee. On motion by Geof Benson and second by George Topoll, the Full Commission voted to approve the SSCC contract for $350,640. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Carolyn Saxton, Tom Schmitt, Brian Snedecor, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed.
Richard Hardaway said NIRPC’s last title VI program was written in 2017. The updated program for 2020 includes all of the new requirements put forth and comes with a favorable recommendation from the F & P Committee. On motion by Robert Carhanan and second by Diane Noll, the Full Commission voted to approve Resolution 20-05, Title VI program for 2020. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Carolyn Saxton, Tom Schmitt, Brian Snedecor, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed. The resolution was adopted.
Ty Warner presented Resolution 20-09 Economic Development Administration FY 2020. Ty informed the Committee that the application has already been submitted to the Economic Development Administration (EDA) and is directly tied to NIRPC’s EDD prior to the CARES Act, as part of the normal designation. NIRPC will receive $70,000 in federal dollars for the EDD, which must be matched 50/50 with local funds. The EDA has accepted the draft resolution with the understanding that due to COVID-19 the resolution would not be formally approved by the Commission until its meeting today. Resolution
authorizes the submittal of the application and the use of $70,000 for local match. On motion by Greg Stinson and second by Robert Carnahan, Resolution 20-09 was formally endorsed by the Full Commission. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Carolyn Saxton, Tom Schmitt, Brian Snedecor, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed. The resolution was adopted.
The Technical Planning Committee (TPC) met virtually on May 12, representing the first virtual meeting ever held by NIRPC. Kevin Breitzke stated there were six actions for consideration today.
Kathy Luther presented the Living Streets Policy, stating staff had presented the policy to the committees over the last several months. This policy expands the Complete Streets policy, which requires transportation projects consideration, pedestrians and project design, stormwater management, healthy street design, and universal design. This policy will be brought before the Full Commission meeting for adoption in July.
Kathy Luther presented on Resolution 20-10 conformity planning. The public comment report was released and made available on March 6th and there were no comments received in the 30 days it was posted. The air quality conformity requirements that NIRPC must demonstrate in order to advance certain major projects in accordance with our planning and programming processes are required because Northwest Indiana has been designated as nonattainment for ozone. The purpose of this
resolution is to first, adopt the changes to the conformity plan, which have been modeled and demonstrated they meet the air quality budget, followed by the adoption of the plan amendment, and lastly adopt the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) with the project change. The fundamental purpose of this resolution is to approve the air conformity modeling report results. On motion by Richard Hardaway and second by Geof Benson, the Full Commission voted to approve Resolution 20-10, conformity planning. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Tom Schmitt, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, two not voting, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed. The resolution was adopted.
Kathy Luther presented on Resolution 20-13, NWI 2050 Amendment #1. The public comment report was released and made available on March 6th, and in the 30 days that it was posted, one comment report was received. The comment received was determined to not be significant and not require any modifications. The three changes to NWI 2050 are as follows: 45th Street added a center turn lane from Colfax Street to Chase Street, remove the Kennedy Ave expansion project from completion by 2025 and combine into the projects to be completed by 2030, and Kennedy Ave added travel lanes from Main Street to Route US 30 to be completed by 2030. On motion by Geof Benson and second by Bill Carroll, the Full Commission voted to approve Resolution 20-13, NWI 2050 Amendment #1. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Tom Schmitt, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, three not voting, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed. The resolution was adopted.
Charles Bradsky presented on Resolution 20-11, Amendments #5, #6, and #7 to the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) in FY 2020-2024. The public comment report included all three amendments to make it easier for the public to make comments in one step. No public comments were received on any of the three amendments. Technical comments were received from the Interagency Consultation Group (ICG) on amendments #5 and #7, with NIRPC’s responses included in the meeting packet. The function of the ICG is to review technical aspects of amendments to ensure any projects being amended are following technical protocol. Amendment #5 consists of 48 projects for FY 2020-2024, with 33 being INDOT projects. On motion by Tim Jones and second by Geof Benson, the Full Commission approved Resolution 20-11 Amendment #5. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Tom Schmitt, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, two not voting, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed. The resolution was adopted.
James Winters presented on Resolution 20-12 Amendment #6 to the TIP FY 2020-2024. The one amendment, for the City of East Chicago, requires transferring $200,000 from the preventative maintenance line item to the operating systems line item. Currently RTIP does not have the functionality to demonstrate a project will be paid with existing in-grant funds, so a placeholder in the maintenance project was left in RTIP for $1. On motion by Geof Benson and second by Bill Carroll, the Full Commission approved Resolution 20-12 Amendment #6 to the FY 2020-2024 TIP. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Tom Schmitt, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura,
Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, two not voting, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed. The resolution was adopted.
Charles Bradsky presented on Resolution 20-14 Amendment #7 to the TIP in FY 2020-2024. The amendment is for Phase 1 for the Town of Schererville on the Kennedy Avenue project. The project is being moved out of the TIP from FY 2021 to beyond FY 2024. This project is on a separate amendment because it affects NIRPC’s long range plan for conformity in the NWI 2050 Plan. The Town of Schererville intends to submit this project at the next Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), and plans to be constructed between 2025-2027. On motion by Geof Benson and second by Tom Schmitt, the Full Commission approved Resolution 20-14 Amendment #7 to the FY 2020-2024 TIP. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Robert Lemay, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Duane Parry, Jerome Prince, Tom Schmitt, Ed Soliday, Joseph Stahura, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, two not voting, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed. The resolution was adopted.
Kathy Luther presented on Resolution 20-15 the 2021-2022 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), Plan NWI. Plan NWI is a core document required of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and it functions as the scope of work for the annual planning grant for the transportation planning area. Plan NWI outlines the transparency and accountability to stakeholders and the public in how NIRPC uses federal funding, as well as local county tax dollars for transportation. Revenue represented in this plan is 75% of NIRPC’s annual operating budget matched with 82% of the county appropriation revenues received. Plan NWI is a two year planning document and will have an amendment change in 2021 to adjust for the funding changes in 2022. A link was provided in the meeting packet and on NIRPC’s website for the complete Unified Planning Work Program document. On Motion by Geof Benson and second by Sue Lynch, the Full Commission approved Resolution 20-15 the 2021-2022 Unified Planning Work Program. With Janet Beck, Geof Benson, Kevin Breitzke, Charlie Brown, Bill Carroll, Robert Carnahan, Daina Dumbrys, Bill Emerson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Eric Hull, Tim Jones, Justin Kiel, Sue Lynch, Sheila Matias, Wendy Mis, Diane Noll, Jerome Prince, Tom Schmitt, Greg Stinson, Gerald Swets, Mary Tanis, and George Topoll voting in the affirmative, five not voting, and no one voting in the negative, the motion passed. The resolution was adopted.
Kevin Breitzke thanked Kathy Luther for presenting the resolutions while technical difficulties were being experienced. Kevin also informed the group that with people driving less due to COVID-19, he noted the impacts are unknown at this time on how projects funded by the Indiana gas taxes will be affected. The next TPC meeting is scheduled for June 9, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. The means of the meeting will be communicated closer to the meeting date, depending on whether Governor Holcomb’s provision to hold virtual meetings will have been extended to include that date.
Adam Parkhouse presented for Matt Deitchley who was unable to attend the meeting. Adam reported that INDOT is focused on essential work to maintain the roadways. INDOT currently has 1,100 projects statewide, totalling over $2 billion. The maintenance teams are working and practicing social distancing procedures. As a result of decreased traffic, INDOT has taken many opportunities to accelerate some road projects, noting the patching work on I-65 between U.S. Route 231 to U.S. Route 30 and bridge painting on Cline Avenue. Lake County will see a lot of work on I-94 during the summer months in 2020 and 2021, with bridge deck overlays taking place on I-65 between April and November this year.
Charlie Brown acknowledged and welcomed Jerome Prince, Mayor for the City of Gary, to his first Commission meeting as a NIRPC Commissioner.
Ed Soliday addressed the concerns Kevin Breitzke raised on the issue of possible impacts to Indiana’s gas tax funding. While the direction of re-opening is uncertain, traffic is picking up. Some had started advocating for greater flexibility in the use of Local Motor Highway Vehicle (MVH) funding even prior to the pandemic, but the 50% distribution minimum for construction, reconstruction and preservation use from the State was to ensure the funds would not be used for other purposes, and altering this would erode support for it. Essentially 100% of Community Crossings comes from the sales tax on gasoline; what is available for next year will not be known before the state’s forecast in September.
Rep. Soliday restated the original priorities for INDOT to first “take care of what we’ve got” by doing preventative maintenance, then secondly to finish projects that were started, and lastly to start new things. Rep. Soliday contrasted this with advocacy for making U.S. 30 a limited access highway and other such projects costing billions of dollars of questionable value. Holding to the original priorities will make for good advocacy downstate to keep funding flowing.
On the Federal level, Rep. Soliday said he had spoken with Congressman Visclosky at length, and Congressman Visclosky is very doubtful that the current Congress will pass an infrastructure bill for relief.
Robert Carnahan noted he received an email from the Lake County representative for the 2020 U.S. Census. Responses to the U.S. Census questionnaires can now be taken on-line, by phone, or by U.S. mail until October 31, 2020. Responses are not meeting expectations.
Michael Griffin thanked the Commissioners for doing an excellent job today and for their patience because the size of the Commission being what it is by law, and the statute that we’re operating under, was the only way the Governor approved an electronic meeting, which included a roll call vote.
Adjournment
Hearing no other business, Michael Griffin adjourned the meeting at 10:56 a.m. The Full Commission will meet on July 16, 2020 at 9:00 a.m.
The livestream video recording of this meeting is available on NIRPC’s YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/NIRPCPlanning.

Resolution 20-09 Authorizing the Submittal of the EDD FY 2020 Partnership Planning Grant Application to Administer the EDD

The submission to the Economic Development Administration (EDA) was completed, but because of COVID-19 and the inability to have a March Commission meeting, the required formal approval of the resolution from the governing board authorizing the submission of the application was not submitted. EDA accepted the draft resolution, and this approved resolution will be the follow-up.
$70,000 was received from the EDA and NIRPC must provide a $70,000 local match. This resolution also authorizes the use of the local fund share to pay the local match.

Staff present were Mitch Barloga, Candice Eklund, James Winters, Scott Weber, Kevin Polette, Charles Bradsky, Dominique Edwards, Kathy Luther, Ty Warner, Peter Kimball, and Flor Baum.
The minutes of the March 3, 2020 meeting were approved on motion by Dean Button and a second by David Wright.
Kevin Breitzke shared with the committee on the Covid-19 impact on gas tax projects, and how it is affecting all communities. On April 30, 2020, LTAP released the effects of motor vehicle highway, road and street accounts, and the local bridge. The Road Bridge Match Grant Fund that is known as Community Crossings is also being affected. There will be substantial reductions this summer on the amount of funding received because of the reduction gas tax.
Mitch Barloga presented on the Living Streets Resolution draft policy that is merging the Complete and Green Streets elements into one policy. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the approval process has been delayed. The draft policy will be presented and reviewed at the July Technical Planning Committee (TPC), for a vote to be recommended to the Commission in July. If approved, the policy will be used for the next Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
Scott Weber presented on the draft Conformity Planning document. The air quality conformity requirements that Northwestern Indiana Planning Commision (NIRPC) must demonstrate in order to advance certain major projects in accordance with our planning and programming processes are required because Northwest Indiana has been designated as nonattainment for ozone. It is one of the criteria pollutants by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of the Clean Air Act. These items deal with the Air Quality Conformity requirements triggered by the NWI 2050 Amendment #1, as well as 2020-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) amendment #7. The major projects in particular that these actions will deal with, pertain to the 45th Ave added center turning lane in unincorporated Lake County, as well as the Kennedy Avenue expansion project in the Town
of Schererville. The public comment report was released and made available on March 6th and there were no comments received in the 30 days that it was posted. Roll call was announced and the following present members voted to recommend the Resolution: Kevin Breitzke, George Topoll, Dean Button, David Wright, Blossom Mabon, Robin Barzoni-Tillman, Kelly Wegner, and Kay Nelson. There were no members who opposed. On motion by Dean Button and a second by Kay Nelson, the Technical Planning Committee unanimously voted to recommend Resolution 20-10 to the NIRPC Full Commission for adoption.
Scott Weber presented on the draft changes included in Amendment #1 to the NWI 2050 Plan. Nearly one year ago, NIRPC adopted a long range plan for the entire Region, and the implementation portion of the plan is recently getting started. The public comment report was released and made available on March 6th, and in the 30 days that it was posted, one comment report was received. However, the report was determined to not be significant and not require any modifications. The three changes to the NWI 2050 Plan are as follows: 45th St Added Center Turn Lane from Colfax St to Chase St., costing $9,928,142.00 in federal funds and $2,482,036.00 in local funds. Remove the Kennedy Ave Expansion project from Complete by 2025 projects, and combine into the Complete by 2030 projects. Kennedy Ave Added Travel Lanes from Main St to Route US 30 Complete by 2030 costing
$17,401,579.00 in federal funds and $4,350,395.00 in local funds. Roll call was announced and the following present members voted to recommend the Resolution: Kevin Breitzke, George Topoll, Dean Button, David Wright, Blossom Mabon, Robin Barzoni-Tillman, Kelly Wegner, and Kay Nelson. There were no members who opposed. On motion by Dean Button and a second by George Topoll, the Technical Planning Committee voted to recommend Resolution 20-13 to the NIRPC Full Commission for adoption.
Kathy Luther presented on the draft 2021-2022 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The UPWP is a core document required of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and it functions as the scope of work for the annual planning grant. The UPWP offers transparency and accountability to stakeholders and the public in how NIRPC is using Federal funding, as well as local county tax dollars for transportation. A link was provided to the committee of the complete Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The committee discussed that the CARES Act funding (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) is currently not in the UPWP because the grant has not yet been received. Staff indicated that when NIRPC does receive the grant, the UPWP will go through the amendment process. Roll call was announced and the following present members voted to recommend the Resolution: Kevin Breitzke, George Topoll, Dean Button, David Wright, Blossom Mabon, Robin Barzoni-Tillman, Kelly Wegner, and Kay Nelson. There were no members who opposed. On motion by Kay Nelson and a second by David Wright, the Technical Planning Committee voted to recommend Resolution 20-15 to the NIRPC Full Commission for adoption.
Charles Bradsky presented on the draft changes included in Amendment #5 to the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) in FY 2020-2024. The public comment report included amendments #5, #6, and #7 to make it easier for the public to make any comments in one step. However, no public comments were received on any of the three amendments. A technical comment was received from The Interagency Consultation Group (ICG) on amendments #5 and #7. Federal Highway Association (FHWA) had asked for a better description of several INDOT and local projects; and had asked if the scope on any of the bridge work on I-65 included widening (INDOT responded the bridge work is based on need, and currently there are no plans to widen these bridges.)
Amendment #5 comprises 48 different projects for FY20-24, and a copy was provided to the committee. The projects include the following: Additional funds towards the Burns Harbor trail project, additional funds towards two roadways in Crown Point, Hammond received an addition of a new roadway project, additional funds towards a roundabout in Hobart. The City of La Porte eliminated two projects (one pedestrian and one roadway). LaPorte County had additional funds to one trail project and two bridge projects. Portage had additional funds towards two
roadway projects, an additional phase for one trail project, and the elimination of a bridge project. INDOT had the addition of 33 new projects. Lake County has additional funds for one roadway project. Charles inadvertently included a road project in Merrillville (hasn't been discussed or approved at TROC) that was not included in the amendment. That project will be addressed in TROC’s August meeting. (Note: Upon further review, a technical correction is not required for Resolution 20-11 to approve a recommendation to The Commission.) Roll call was announced and the following present members voted to recommend the Resolution: Kevin Breitzke, George Topoll, Dean Button, David Wright, Blossom Mabon, Robin Barzoni-Tillman, Kelly Wegner, and Kay Nelson. There were no members who opposed. On motion by Dean Button and a second by George Topoll, the Technical Planning Committee voted to recommend Resolution 20-11 Amendment #5 to the NIRPC Full Commission for adoption.
James Winters presented on the draft changes included in Amendment #6 to the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) in FY 2020-2024. $200,000 was taken from East Chicago’s preventative maintenance line item, and applied it to the operating systems line, (where there could be a budget shortfall). Currently RTIP doesn’t have the functionality to demonstrate a project will be paid with existing in-grant funds, so a placeholder maintenance project was left in RTIP for $1. Roll call was announced and the following present members voted to recommend the Resolution: Kevin Breitzke, George Topoll, Dean Button, David Wright, Blossom Mabon, Robin
Barzoni-Tillman, Kelly Wegner, and Kay Nelson. There were no members who opposed. On motion by George Topoll and a second by Dean Button, the Technical Planning Committee voted to recommend Resolution 20-12 to the NIRPC Full Commission for adoption.
Charles Bradsky presented on the draft changes included in TIP Amendment #7 to the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) in FY 2020-2024. The amendment is for Schererville’s Phase 1 project of Kennedy Ave. The project is being moved out of the TIP from FY-2021 to beyond FY-2024. This project is on a separate amendment because it affects NIRPC’s long range plan for conformity in the NWI 2050. It is Shererville’s intent to submit this project to NIRPC at the Next Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), and to be constructed between 2025 and 2027. Roll call was announced and the following present members voted to recommend the Resolution: Kevin Breitzke, George Topoll, Dean Button, David Wright, Blossom Mabon, Robin Barzoni-Tillman, Kelly Wegner, and Kay Nelson. There were no members who opposed. On motion by Dean Button and a second by Kay Nelson, the Technical Planning Committee voted to recommend Resolution 20-14 Amendment #7 to the NIRPC Full Commission for adoption.
There were no committee reports for May.
Announcements and upcoming dates were shared with the committee. The next Transportation Resources Oversight Committee (TROC) will be on August 25th, which will include the Merrillville project. Laurie Keagle announced that grant funding assistance information can be found on the South Shore Clean Cities website:
www.southshorecleancities.org .
The next Technical Planning Committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 9, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. in the Lake Michigan Room at NIRPC offices.
The meeting concluded at 11:18 am.
Duly adopted by the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission on this sixteenth day of July, 2020.

Other Significant Regional Planning Activities
The planning activities listed below highlight transportation planning initiatives throughout the region.
Gary Public Transportation Corporation
Short and long-range transit planning activities designed to enhance and expand service delivery of transit for GPTC patrons. Items being explored are Broadway transit expansion, Lakeshore service expansion, regional transit expansion, outreach and marketing, transit-oriented facilities and development, planning for a relief facility, ITS, and civil rights planning.
WHEREAS, the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) promotes an equitable and effective multimodal, regional land use/transportation system that is safe, as well as energy, environmentally and fiscally efficient, maximizes regional connectivity, serves the mobility needs of all citizens, utilizes stormwater runoff mitigation best practices, improves the health of the general public, and is environmentally sensitive; and
WHEREAS, Complete Streets principles have been, and continue to be, adopted nationwide at state, regional, and municipal levels in the interest of adherence to federal regulations that promote multimodal transportation options and accessibility for all users, including NIRPC’s 2010 Complete Streets Policy & Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, NIRPC is responsible for planning and programming transportation projects that utilize federal grants which adhere to goals and objectives from previously adopted documents such as the NWI 2050 Plan, Creating Livable Communities, Greenways+Blueways 2020 Plan, the Marquette Action Plan, and other applicable documents; and
practicable Living Streets facilities, in the planning and design of all proposed transportation projects;
Duly adopted by the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission on this sixteenth day of July, 2020.

Below are planning and design guidelines to assist project sponsors in the accommodation of all users (bicyclists, pedestrians, transit users, motorists and people with disabilities, hereafter referred to as “Living Streets” facilities). Project sponsors shall use these guidelines in planning for and designing their projects. The Guidelines will be used by NIRPC staff and relevant committees as the proposed project is processed through current project selection and planning review.
Living Streets facilities shall be established on rehabilitation, restoration, and resurfacing (3R), partial 3R, and new construction and reconstruction (4R) projects unless one or more of the following conditions are met (entities will be required to provide evidence for justification of exemption(s):
Where non-motorized users are prohibited by law from using the roadway. In this instance, the applicant should accommodate Living Streets facilities as practicable within the right of way or within the same transportation corridor. Such projects shall still be inclined to incorporate green infrastructure improvements referenced in the above document.
The cost of establishing Living Streets facilities that meet applicable standards would exceed 15% of the cost of the larger transportation project. Eligible costs may include additional right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, utility replacement by way of natural infrastructure, vegetative additions, and other construction costs with the establishment of said facilities.
Where the project consists of minor maintenance or repair (reconstruction is not included). Minor projects include, but are not limited to, emergency and periodic/preventative maintenance.
Where the project consists primarily of the installation of traffic control or safety devices and little or no additional right-of-way is to be acquired.
There are topographic or natural resource constraints.
Where factors indicate an absence of need.
Where existing Living Streets facilities currently exists or are scheduled for construction within or near the corridor.
On proposed 3R and 4R projects that do not increase vehicular capacity, Living Streets facilities shall be incorporated where applicable and as proposed by the project sponsor including in the following ways:
Resurfacing including striping for additional shoulder width and/or crosswalks, as well as bike lanes where feasible in urban settings.
Signalization including installation of pedestrian activated signals, and/or review of proper operation and timing of pedestrian phases.
Restriping sufficiently wide pavements and bridge decks for additional shoulder width in accordance with applicable federal guidelines.
Bridge deck replacement with extension of bridge deck (or other means) to accommodate all users.
In cases where an adopted regional or local plan proposes a bikeway, rolling or pedestrian way that would pass under or over a bridge that is to be reconstructed, the bridge shall be reconstructed to accommodate intended users.
Intersection upgrades including crosswalks and pedestrian actuated signals.
In rural areas, paved shoulders should be included in all new construction and reconstruction projects on roadways used by more than 1,000 vehicles per day (ADT). Shoulders with a minimum of five-foot paved asphalt width preferred, accompanied by
bicycle-friendly rumble strips. Paved shoulders have safety and operational advantages for all road users in addition to providing a place for bicyclists and pedestrians to operate.
Right-of-way flooding.
In places where additional vegetation can lead to improved pollinator habitat, heating/cooling cost savings, and increased public health.
The design and development of the transportation infrastructure shall improve conditions for all users by:
Planning projects for the long-term. The design and construction of new transportation facilities should presume demand for all users, aim to improve health and increase ecological resilience, and not preclude the
provision of future improvements. In particular, where development is projected to change the character of an area from rural to suburban to urban over the long-term, it is encouraged that adequate right-of-way and infrastructure be established as part of a near-term project to accommodate future facilities where applicable. Every project should be planned and designed with the ultimate, long- term goal of creating, over time, Living Streets facilities.
Connecting Living Streets facilities across jurisdictional boundaries. As the metropolitan planning organization, NIRPC has a vantage point from which to recommend to the jurisdictions the connection and continuity of facilities for all users for the purpose of qualifying for federal funding. One way which NIRPC does this is through the Comprehensive Regional Plan which is updated every five years.
Designing context-appropriate facilities to the best currently available standards and guidelines. The design of said facilities shall be in accordance with applicable federal guidelines.
Addressing the need for bicyclists, rollers and pedestrians to cross corridors as well as travel along them. Even where bicyclists, rollers and pedestrians may not commonly travel along a corridor that is being improved or constructed, they will likely need to be able to cross that corridor safely and conveniently. For instance, a roadway project that does not contain a bike facility (interstate highway) should address bridge crossings that are hostile for bicycles, rollers and pedestrians. Therefore, the design of intersections and interchanges shall accommodate cyclists, rollers and pedestrians in a manner that is safe, accessible and convenient.
Creating a more connected, renewed, united and vibrant Northwest Indiana. Living Streets projects support NIRPC’s planning initiatives including those that address climate change and its potential impacts.
