    motions. To please use “raise hand” for each action item to vote on and if you have a question or

    comment.

    APPROVAL OF OCTOBER 6, 2020 MINUTES Mr. John Gardocki, Chair, asked if there were any corrections or amendments to the October 6, 2020

    minutes. Mr. James Foster moved to approve the minutes as presented. Mr. Tom Voss seconded the

    motion, motion carried.

    OCTOBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS ACTIONS Mr. John Gardocki, Chair, asked the members to review the minutes of the October Board of Directors

    meeting.

    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

    Ms. Lorrie Platt, OKI Staff, said that the first thing she wanted to cover is the continuing resolution on

    The FAST Act, which is the current transportation bill that technically ended at the end of September.

    Congress provided a continuing resolution, meaning it was extended for another year starting on

    October 1, 2020. This will carry us through the next year and hopefully that a multi-year transportation

    bill will replace the FAST Act in the fall of 2021. The bill authorized the same level of funding as FY 2020,

    which is about a billion dollars.

    She mentioned that the Senate control is up in the air until the two runoff races that take place in

    Georgia. Currently Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the US Senate, there are two pending Senate

    races in North Carolina and Alaska that mostly likely will go to the Republicans. Democrats retained

    their majority in the House of Representatives but have a smaller margin. (D215, R198)

    Ms. Platt said the latest from Washington is that there will be dramatic shifts in policy and programs

    in the Biden administration. Ranging from health and social issues, to the economy, infrastructure and

    climate change. The first priority is addressing the pandemic and economic downturn -- widely

    expected is to implement mandatory mask mandate for transportation including airlines and public

    transit.

    During Biden’s campaign a $2 trillion plan outlined to rebuild infrastructure and transportation

    investments, particularly those that would help contribute to a cleaner environment and dramatically

    increase the number of high skilled and high paying jobs.

    UPDATE ON THE MITIGATION MODEL

    Ms. Margaret Minzner, OKI Staff, gave an update on the mitigation model. She said one outcome of

    the Environmental Consultations was a discussion on regional mitigation needs. Identified a need to

    help identify potential areas for conservation and mitigation. This in part is due to the geography of

    the service areas as shown in the map she presented. As you can see, the service areas are very large

    and extend all the way to neighboring cities but much of the environmental impact occurs within the

    OKI Region.

    OKI has conducted ongoing consultation with greenspace experts, to ensure that the tool developed

    would address required needs. Considerable time working with members of the Green Umbrella

    Greenspace Impact Team with Cardinal Land Conservancy and Cincinnati Nature Center and members

  • 3 | P a g e

    of the Northern Kentucky Stream Restoration Advisory Committee enables OKI tools and data to

    remain at the forefront of related discussions and planning efforts.

    FEDERAL CERTIFICATION REVIEW

    Mr. Bob Koehler, OKI Staff, presented this item. He explained that every four years, staff is subject to

    a Federal Certification Review by FHWA and FTA to evaluate the procedures and results of the OKI

    metropolitan planning process. On November 18, OKI will be hosting (via video conferencing) our

    partners at USDOT. He said that this is a performance audit of OKI’s metropolitan planning process

    that allows the agency to remain eligible for federal funding. A notice was posted on OKI’s website

    about the public meeting portion of the review, which will be at 4 PM on November 18. Lorrie Platt

    sent an email highlighting the meeting and including a link to a very short and simple survey.

    TITLE VI

    Ms. Florence Parker, OKI Staff, reported at the recent ICC meeting that in addition to ensuring that we

    here at OKI identify various outreach activities to encourage civic engagement and public participation,

    Environmental Justice activities and OKI’s DBE Program are important. She reported since OKI accepts

    federal financial assistance, OKI responsibility is to implement and comply with Title VI of the Civil

    Rights Act of 1964. Bottom line, if OKI receives or accept federal funding for any of our programs,

    projects or activities OKI can’t exclude, deny, discriminate against any individual on the grounds of

    race, color or national origin.

    She mentioned OKI’s Title VI Plan is posted on the website with the Complaint Form in both English

    and Spanish. The website is set up so that visitors to our website can choose their language of choice

    when browsing our website. The top seven languages available on our website include Arabic, Chinese,

    English, French, Hindi, Nepali and Spanish.

    As the Liaison Officer for our DBE Program, the Disadvantage Business Enterprise Program, she

    reported that vendors on OKI’s DBE Certified Bid List are informed of any contracting opportunities

    that OKI has available and are beneficial from the city of Cincinnati, the Urban League, the various

    Chambers, FTA, FHWA, industry organizations, etc.

    She mentioned the Title VI Plan is updated annually. The Public Participation Plan and DBE Program

    can also be found on our website and that the Participation Plan is updated every four years, next

    update will be by January 31, 2021. The DBE Program, which is updated every three years, must have

    a new DBE Goal posted by August 1, 2021.

    The essence of my remarks this morning are to stress that you must have a Title VI Plan in order to

    apply for federal financial funding. If you do not have a Title VI Plan, OKI staff can help by referring

    you to the right person or entity to draft a Plan.

    OKI CMAQ PERFORMACE PLAN MODIFICATION FOR THE STATES OF OHIO, KENTUCKY & INDIANA

    Mr. Brett Porter, OKI Staff, I’m presenting a modification to the CMAQ Performance Plan and the

    performance targets table found in Chapter 2 of the TIP. He provided some background, the CMAQ

    Performance Plan is an element of ODOTs, KYTCs, and INDOTs statewide CMAQ performance reports

    for the mid-performance period. Congestion Performance Management Measures regulations require

  • 4 | P a g e

    State DOTs and MPOs to assess the progress of two (2018 & 2019) and four-year (2018 – 2021) targets.

    During the mid-performance period for annual peak hours of excessive delay per capita (PHED),

    percent of non-single occupancy vehicle urbanized area travel (Non-SOV) , and emissions reductions

    of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Nitrous Oxide (NOx) and Particulate Matter having a diameter

    of less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) from CMAQ projects. I presented these measures and the

    performance plan back in September.

    This is a modification to KYTC’s 4-year Nitrous Oxide (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)

    emissions reduction targets, revising the daily emissions reductions for Nitrous Oxide from 200 kg/day

    to 36 kg/day and for Volatile Organic Compounds from 200 kg/day to 48 kg/day. Each year, OKI elects

    to adopt the statewide performance targets set by ODOT, KYTC, and INDOT, including on-road mobile

    source emissions. This modification does not change any of the other statewide performance targets.

    Mr. James Foster moved to recommend approval of CMAQ Performance Plan Modification and TIP

    Modification. Ms. Mary Huller seconded the motion, motion carried.

    FY21-24 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM/ADMINISTRATIVE MODIFICATION #5

    Mr. Andy Reser, OKI Staff, presented modification #5 included in the meeting packet. In Ohio, the

    Modification updates schedules and funding amounts for 8 projects. ODOT District 8 is undergoing

    their annual lockdown review to see what projects and phases are ready to go in FY2022. Phases of

    the Western Hills Viaduct will probably not be ready next year, so Phases 2, 3 and 5 are being pushed

    back one year. A request from Great Parks for additional OKI-CMAQ funds to complete the Little Miami

    Scenic Trail Beechmont Connector was received. After consultation with the Statewide CMAQ

    Committee, OKI was able to add 10% more CMAQ funds. The current schedule has the trail connector

    being sold in December. PID 110352 is OKI’s household travel pattern data survey. This project is still

    going forward, it’s a bookkeeping move to remove the PID from the TIP, and instead have the amount

    directly debited from OKI STBG allocation. Three additional Ohio projects, 113600, 113601 and 113603

    were recently added to the TIP with TRAC funds, but the PE work is being pushed out to next year.

    In Kentucky, two Boone County projects are adjusted; for the Burlington Multi-use Path, unused right-

    of-way and utility TAP funds are being moved to Construction. For the Camp Ernst Road and

    Longbranch Road intersection improvement project, the description is changed to allow for the

    consideration of alternatives, such as a roundabout.

    In Indiana, Des #1802970 is being added to a Grouped Project, and funding amounts are being

    corrected for Des # 2002035.

    Mr. Kevin Costello moved to recommend approval of TIP Administrative Modification #5. Mr. Todd

    Listerman seconded the motion, motion carried.

    FY-21-24 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM/AMENDMENT #3 Mr. Andy Reser, OKI Staff, said TIP Amendment #3 involves two projects in Ohio; it adds a TRAC funded

    project that is part of the Brent Spence Bridge corridor. The detailed design for replacing the Linn Street

  • 5 | P a g e

    overpass and connections in the area between Freeman and US50. The second Ohio project is

    adjustments to funding and timing for PID 25349, a bridge removal project on Glenway Avenue.

    In Indiana, the Amendment moves Des #1800349 beyond the TIP, adds a slide correction project on

    US 52, west of SR 46; and adds an intersection improvement project on SR 1 and Schuman Road. The

    amendment was posted on OKI’s website since October 27th and a draft was sent to the Interagency

    Consultation Group. No comments were received.

    Mr. Tom Voss moved to recommend to Executive Committee approval of Resolution 2020-34

    Concerning Amendment #3 of the FY2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Ms. Mary

    Huller seconded the motion, motion carried.

    OTHER BUSINESS None.

    NEXT MEETING

    Mr. James Foster moved to cancel the December 8, 2020 ICC Meeting. Mr. Todd Listerman seconded the motion, motion carried.

    The next ICC meeting scheduled virtually for Tuesday, January 12, 2021 at 9:30 a.m.

    ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Ms. Debbie Conrad and seconded by Mr. Frank Busofsky to adjourn the meeting

    at 10:09 a.m., motion carried.

    ITEM #1: ADMINISTRATIVE

    A. Announcements

    B. Approval of October 8, 2020 Board of Director’s Meeting Minutes

    President Knochelmann called for corrections and/or additions to the October 8, 2020 minutes of the Board of Director’s Meeting. There being none, Mr. Weidman moved that the minutes be approved as mailed. Mr. Reed seconded the motion; motion carried.

    C. Executive Director’s Report

    Mr. Mark Policinski, CEO, began discussing the Brent Spence Bridge accident that happened on Wednesday, November 10th, early in the morning on the North Bound underpass heading from Covington to Cincinnati. Mr. Policinski said he was interviewed that morning by WLW. He summarized his interview for the board. He said this is the second time this region has dodged a rather large bullet. A few years ago a car fell from the upper deck of the bridge to the lower deck. Fortunately, it happened at noon on a Sunday and more fortunately nobody was seriously injured. He said, if you look at what happened during this incident with a 1500 degree fireball, yielding a 1500 foot plume of black smoke, engulfing that $2.6 billion bridge; think about what would have happened to this region, what would have happened to lives, if that had occurred not at 3 a.m. but at 3 p.m. The damages and secondary explosions that could have happened would have been a catastrophe of international importance. Mr. Policinski said the disruption that is taking place is already being downplayed by some people. It is going to be a great disruption to the region. He said it is not going to last a few days, but probably a few weeks, maybe even months. We know the disruption is going to be great because if you look at our region, 60% of the 2 million people that live in this region live within 5 miles of the I-75, Brent Spence Bridge corridor and 70% of the 1 million jobs in this region are within 5 miles of that corridor. He said this is going to be a massive disruption for our region. Mr. Policinski stated that the other thing he made mention of in his interview with WLW is that we have not made progress on the Brent Spence Bridge and it is a mess and this mess is on us as a region; it is not the federal governments fault. He said this bridge project is going to cost $2.6 billion and a large part of that financing will come from the federal government. But, not one penny is going to come from the federal government until us as a region has put together a sound financing plan. Not a plan that will just pass our friends at the political rally, but a plan that is going to have to pass muster of the bound houses of the United States. We are going to have to get our house in order. We have to do something because we just may not miss the third bullet that is coming our way.

  • 4

    Mr. Policinski said that real leaders lead when the challenges are most difficult and that is what we need now. We need to come together. We need to solve problems that are surrounding the bridge, most notably what’s happening in Covington. There are issues with the current plan that have a negative impact on Covington in their minds and we have to address those issues. At the end of the day, reasonable men and women have to come together and find a solution that is going to last because, again, we don’t want to just depend on being lucky. Mr. Policinski mentioned that OKI’s Metropolitan Transportation Planning Process would be undergoing a Certification Revie6yggvppy6vyw on November 18 and 19. He said that this review is under the direction of Bob Koehler, but, involves every member of OKI’s staff. He mentioned that staff has spent thousands of hours preparing for this review. He also mentioned that the board can do its part by filling out a survey regarding OKI’s planning process. He urged board members to take the survey which was about 3 minutes long; responses are highly valued by the Federal Highway Administration. Mr. Policinski discussed how Board nominations for 2021 were sent to the jurisdictions the first week of November and asked that everyone please fill them out and return to Marilyn Osborne by December 4th. He thanked everyone for their service to OKI now and in the future. Mr. Policinski discussed the impact of the virus on all of and how immense it has been. He said at OKI we have to measure the impact on traffic. He said, using the work of Dr. Liren Zhou, who runs OKI’s traffic demand model, we have been monitoring traffic volumes since the inception of the virus. The virus’ impact on traffic that Dr. Zhou observed months ago continue. Mr. Policinski shared several images as examples of the traffic in our region. Figure 1 showed that Daily traffic, as measured by permanent ODOT traffic counters, remained at 11% below volumes prior to virus. Figure 2 showed that A.M. rush hour, between 7-9 a.m., traffic was down 18%. There has been very little deviation from this decline in rush hour traffic since August. He said, it is clear that all traffic is not the same and the most deleterious impacts are at rush hour, at pinch points. In this region, the Ohio River bridges are the largest pinch points. To measure these most severe impacts, Dr. Zhou concentrated on OKI data on the Daniel Beard Bridge. Figure 3 showed traffic at the a.m. rush hour on the Daniel Beard was down 30%. Figure 4 showed the average speed at rush hour was almost 60% faster; that is a difference of 24 miles per hour faster. Mr. Policinski said, the take-a-ways are that with a 10% reduction in traffic volumes, rush hour congestion is gone. Congestion is relegated to construction or accidents. He said if remote work affects only 10% of trips, the lack of congestion on the region’s roads could become normal. Mr. Policinski stated that Candace McGraw, CVG’s CEO, invited OKI to view its work with driverless vehicles. Mr. Policinski and David Shuey, OKI’s Director of Information Systems and Analytics, were treated to an amazing demonstration of this technology. As OKI has been saying for a few years, driverless vehicles are coming and their adoption by the US will be faster than expected.

  • 5

    Mr. Policinski said that the driverless vehicle they road in at CVG was completely under the control of the technology, though there was a driver in the car. The car traveled on the CVG loop near and around their HQ building. The vehicle maneuvered with traffic, traffic signs and traveled over 30 MPH. Mr. Policinski believes the vehicle can reach 50 miles an hour. Mr. Policinski continued by discussing ThorDrive, which is the company that CVG is using for driverless technology. ThorDrive has placed several people in the region to live and work on the rollout of the technology at CVG. As OKI has maintained for a long time, the first utilization of driverless vehicles is going to be commercial and the advance at CVG bears this out. Mr. Policinski discussed that OKI launched its Fiscal Impact Model 2.0. For the past decade, OKI provided a model for estimating fiscal impact related to changes in land use to inform local government decisions on development. At the time of its inception, OKI’s Fiscal Impact Model was one of only five in the country. I might add that the University of Cincinnati was a partner in building the model. Mr. Policinski said the original model didn’t prove to be as successful as they hoped. Two key reasons were that it required an immense amount of work by localities before they could use the model and two OKI charged jurisdictions to use the model. The new Fiscal Impact Model is far more powerful and informative. Additionally, there is only a modicum of work needed by jurisdictions to access the model. Best of all, this powerful tool is free of charge to your communities. Mr. Policinski said he encourages board members to reach out to Andy Meyer to learn about how you can incorporate fiscal impact analysis into your planning efforts. Simply go to the OKI website, oki.org, and click on the FIAM banner. If you have questions, please contact Andy Meyer of our staff. Andy built this latest version of the model for OKI. Mr. Policinski discussed that OKI is renewing a partnership with the US Department of Energy through their SolSmart program. He said we will be one of the first regional organizations to receive the SolSmart designation. This designation recognizes OKI’s work in developing the Go Solar Ready initiate, which produced the OKI’s award-winning interactive Solar Map and several tools and best practice guides for local planning, zoning and building departments. Mr. Policinski said by participating in this program, we will have direct access to the US Department of Energy’s SolSmart team for technical support as OKI develops tools for local communities. IMPORTANTLY, we’ll be able to provide SolSmart Advisory services any local community in the region interested in promoting or investing in solar energy. Mr. Policinski stated that we will be providing more information about this exciting program in the coming weeks and months. You can find more information about Go Solar Ready and SolSmart on our website (under programs) or contact Travis Miller for details in the meantime.

    Mr. Policinski provided the board with a couple of announcements about the OKI staff. Ms. Robyn Bancroft has been asked to serve on the ODOT Freight Advisory Committee. She already serves on the Commonwealth of Kentucky Freight Advisory Committee. Melissa Jones has been asked to serve on the City of Cincinnati Internal Audit Committee. And finally, Margaret Minzner, of OKI’s Regional Planning staff, has completed defending her dissertation and will receive her doctorate in Educational Leadership from Northern Kentucky University, this December.

    i. OKI Rail Infrastructure Grant Awards - Robyn Bancroft, Strategic Initiatives Manager

    Ms. Robyn Bancroft, OKI Staff, shared that two weeks ago, OKI learned that our two FRA CRISI grants had been awarded. This represents over $2.3M in new federal funding for the OKI region. Both projects are located in the City of Cincinnati along the Ohio River. The first CRISI grant is in partnership with Benchmark River and Rail Terminals, located at 4820 US 50 or River Road. With this grant, Benchmark will install active grade crossing devices and a new traffic signal with railroad preemption at the intersection of US 50 and their Gate 2-Southern Intermodal Yard’s access drive. No safety devices currently exist and Benchmark projects the number of tank-trucks carrying hazardous materials crossing the two active CIND and CSX rail tracks to more than double (12,000+ annual crossings) by 2025. This project has multimodal safety impacts as the US 50 corridor serves as an FHWA Critical Urban Freight Corridor, an NHS Intermodal Connector, a MARAD Marine Highway (M-70), Class I and II railroads lines, a fixed public transit route, and bicycle/pedestrian facilities. This project supports a larger, comprehensive, public/private strategy to improve safety, freight flow and economic vitality along the entire US 50 corridor since at-grade private and public crossings like exist this up and down the US 50 corridor. She mentioned that OKI had awarded funding to the City of Cincinnati for similar safety at-grade and intersection improvements at Thornton Drive located to the west of this area which is underway currently. This project at Benchmark will continue safety enhancements along the US 50 corridor. The second CRISI grant is in partnership with Cincinnati Bulk Terminals, LLC (CBT) located at 895 Mehring. With this CRISI grant, CBT will construct an overhead, bi-directional, enclosed-tube, conveyor system spanning Mehring for the transport of heavy bulk materials between CBT’s Ohio River port facility and CIND’s Class II rail line. Benefits of the new conveyor include; Increased Safety: the overhead conveyor will remove approximately 40,000 annual truck trips of bulk materials from crossing Mehring, Enhanced Efficiency: the project will facilitate more reliable, seamless and faster freight transport regardless of time of day, commuter traffic or other Mehring roadway conditions, Economic Growth: the versatility of the conveyor to move materials in both directions offers CBT greater opportunities for adding rail-to-river customers, thereby spurring new rail freight growth, Environmental Improvements: the conveyor will employ state of the art, electrically-powered technology – a much cleaner and quieter method than traditional, diesel engine trucks. The cumulative effect of CBT replacing three trucks with a bi-directional conveyor system will contribute greatly to the area’s air quality over the conveyors 40+ year life span, and, Reduced Maintenance: Mehring has an International Roughness Index

  • 7

    (IRI) of 215.3 which is a high value indicative of poor pavement conditions. Removal of 40,000 truck crossings annually can only help improve road conditions and decrease maintenance-related costs. She invited those with further questions or wanting to discuss freight challenges for possible new Federal funding applications to contact her. She closed by saying that she hoped these CRISI grants would serve as only the first of many more sources of new funding to the OKI region.

    D. Finance Officer's Report

    Ms. Purcy Nance, OKI staff, reported that the Finance Officer’s Report was distributed via Constant Contact. She explained that the report contains September financial statements and includes the current cash information. Ms. Nance referred members to page 2 for the current information. As of November 6, OKI had $504,526 in the PNC checking account, $18,712 in the HSA/FSA checking account and $512,356 in the STAR Ohio money market mutual fund. She reported that there has been no recent activity on OKI’s line of credit and there is no outstanding balance at report date. Ms. Nance stated that page 3 contains the balance sheet as of September 30. She reported that Cash and Investments are down 44% from this time last year. Receivables are up 46% from this time last year due to the timing of year-end invoicing and invoice payments. At September 30, there were $1,284,000 in receivables, $747,000 associated with August and September invoices and $537,000 outstanding from July and earlier. Payables are down 57%, or $126,000, from this time last year due to completion of the boardroom sound system installation and lower expenses for the Clean Air outreach campaign due to COVID-19 Ms. Nance stated that Revenue information is located on page 4. She reported that as of September 30, OKI is 25% of the way through the budgeted year. Overall, revenues are at 21%, which is under budget. She noted the following items: Federal revenue is under budget due to the timing of FTA 5310 Pass Through project activities; State revenue is under budget due to timing of OEPA contract execution and Transportation PL project activities; Local revenue is ahead of budget due to the timing of County funding payments; Miscellaneous revenue is under budget due to the cancellation of OKI’s annual meeting, and Contributed Services is under budget due to timing of 5310 Pass Through activities. Ms. Nance stated that page 5 contains Expense information. She reported that Overall Expenses are at 20%, which is under budget. Ms. Nance noted the following items: Category 1, Salaries, is under budget due to an open staff position at the beginning of the year; Category 3, Travel, Subsistence and Professional Development is under budget: due to the COVID related cancellation of staff and Board activities requiring travel combined with timing of agency membership renewals; Category 4, Printing, Marketing and Contractual is under budget: due to timing of FTA 5310 project activities, and timing of traffic counts off-set by the seasonal nature of the Clean Air outreach campaign; Category 5, Other Expenditures is slightly ahead of budget:

  • 8

    due to timing of software subscriptions and maintenance contracts and Category 6, Contributed Services is under budget due to timing of 5310 Pass Through activities; offset by the seasonal nature of the Clean Air outreach campaign. Ms. Nance stated that page 6 contains the General Fund Balance information. She reported that the General Fund Balance has had a net increase of approximately $25,000 year to date. She explained that the two components of this increase are timing differences and year to date activities. The timing differences include a $151,000 increase due to timing of county funding payments and a $159,000 decrease due to application of negotiated fringe and indirect rates. The remaining $33,000 increase is associated with year-to-date operations and timing of active projects, resulting in a year to date fund balance of $1,525,000; of this amount, $410,000 is committed to active projects. There being no discussion, Mr. Reed moved that the Executive Committee accept and file the Finance Officer’s Report dated November 12, 2020. Mr. Humphrey seconded the motion; motion carried.

    was,”; reminded attendees that “the 21st century transportation system needs to be built on the

    foundation of a 21st century public involvement strategy” and that in the planner’s essential toolbox and
