Call to Order: Meeting called to order at 10:10 a.m. by Mr. Pete Peterson representing Mayor Van Brocklin. A sign-in sheet was passed to each person.

Agenda Item 1: The minutes from the December 19, 2013 meeting were reviewed.

Mr. Qualls made a motion for the board to approve the document. Mr. Hartman seconded the motion. All approved. Motion carried.

Agenda Item 2: Consider re-approval and re-adoption of FY 2014-2015 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) (Resolution 2014-01).

Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Glenn Berry to give an overview of the UPWP. Mr. Berry stated that an Executive Board vote was required to re-approve and re-adopt the FY 2014-2015 UPWP. Mr. Berry explained that additional federal initiatives were added to the UPWP and that another federal review process was required. Mr. Berry explained that the UPWP describes the tasks to be conducted by the MTPO and funding to complete these tasks. He stated this included required tasks such as the maintenance on the Long Range Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program, along with studies that would be beneficial but not required, such as a regional bicycle and pedestrian plan. Mr. Berry made note of the local funding issues and that non-required studies or plans would be difficult to fund due to Johnson City’s tight budget and that the local match would be an issue in completing nonessential task. Mr. Berry pointed out that there was good regional cooperation and financial support for studies on sub areas of the MTPO. Specifically, he noted local match has been provided by Washington County, Elizabethton and Jonesborough for studies in their respective subareas of the MTPO.

Mr. Berry stated the UPWP covered a two-year period but in actuality it was treated as a one-year UPWP, which required state and federal review on the same cycle as the one-year UPWP. Mr. Peterson asked if it would not be financially prudent to adopt a two-year UPWP to protect federal funds. Mr. Qualls stated this was a misconception and that the UPWP did not protect federal funds from being rescinded by Congress. Mr. Berry then stated the MTPO received comments from FHWA on the current approved UPWP for the current year (2014). In light of the federal review process and that federal funds were not protected, Mr. Berry stated there was no real gain in submitting a two-year UPWP at this point unless some of these issues could be streamlined. In response to Mr. Peterson’s question regarding financial planning, Mr. Berry stated they would continue to plan for future years but most likely only submit a one-year UPWP in the future since they were still required through the one-year process. Mr. Browning stated there did not seem to be any real benefit in submitting a two-year UPWP if it was going to go through the same review process yearly.

Mr. Browning made a motion for the board to approve the 2014-2015 UPWP as submitted. Mr. Humphrey seconded the motion. All approved. Motion carried.

Agenda Item 3: Status of the Highway Trust Fund and Transportation Act.

Mr. Glenn Berry informed the Board of the recent passage of H.R. 5201 “Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014,” which extended and funded the current transportation act, MAP-21, until May of 2015. Mr. Berry explained the act did not truly address transportation funding and merely postponed the inevitable issue of finding an equitable and fiscally responsible way of funding the transportation system in the United States. He stated it is hard to plan for projects with no long term transportation authorization.

Mr. Peterson initiated a discussion with Mr. Jack Qualls regarding transportation funding and all the federal requirements, or red tape, with projects, specifically the Right of Way and environmental process. Mr. Peterson stated we know it is not you personally that is holding up the process; however, it seems there are a lot of delays when dealing through TDOT and federal law. Mr. Qualls responded that TDOT was aware of the issues and TDOT is working to improve this process. Mr. Berry said he would work with local members and TDOT to improve this process. Mr. Berry informed the Board of one initiative TDOT was implementing to improve this process called Accelerated Delivery Pilot Program. He further stated he had only heard about the announcement from TDOT but there was an upcoming webinar on August 27 by TDOT introducing the new Local Programs Accelerated Delivery Pilot Program.

Agenda Item 4: Update from the MTPO Transportation Coordinator – Metropolitan Planning Area.

Mr. Berry conducted a review of the Urbanized Area and Metropolitan Planning Area boundary using a new tool called ArcGIS Online. Mr. Berry stated that ArcGIS Online allowed the MTPO to share information and maps easily through a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and mobile devices such as the iPad or smart phones, without the end user having to install or purchase special software. He pointed out this would be an extremely useful tool for the MTPO in providing information to local government officials, state officials and the general public. He stated this was part of the overall strategy for the City of Johnson City in conducting the GIS Strategic Plan, to provide people with better access and transparency to useful information.

With that in mind, Mr. Berry began the presentation using ArcGIS Online interactively to demonstrate the relationship of the three MPOs in the Tri-Cities, the three Urbanized Areas as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, the respective city limits of jurisdictions in the region, and the Metropolitan Planning Area boundaries. After turning on each map layer on the display screen he stated “as you can see this gets very complicated and confusing very quick.” Next he went on to illustrate how previously Bluff City and Piney Flats had been in the Bristol MPO Planning Boundary (MPA); however, recently they (Bristol MPO) had retracted their boundary, removing Bluff City and Piney Flats. This, in conjunction with the U.S. Census Bureau redefining the Johnson City Urbanized Area to include Bluff City and Piney Flats, now made these areas part of the Johnson City MPO. Mr. Berry stated Bluff City and Piney Flats could have remained in the Bristol MPO under federal law. He explained that any area inside an Urbanized Area with a population of 50,000 or more must in a MPO, but federal law does not state what MPO it must be in.

Page 5 of 6

Case in point, he continued, is the Kingsport Urbanized Area. A section of the Kingsport Urbanized Area extends into Washington County and Johnson City and has for years. The Johnson City MPO has included this section of the Kingsport Urbanized Area in Johnson City MTPO’s Planning Area. This was done because it was always considered the Johnson City MTPO understood this area’s transportation needs better. This area had a closer relationship to the Johnson City MTPO and Kingsport agreed. The end result is Johnson City MTPO strongly supported the upgrade of Exit 13 on I-26, included the funding for the Gray Fossil site in the MTPO’s previous TIPs for funding, and recently funded the Washington County Transportation study that included this area. Mr. Berry stated while bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. have the responsibility of defining what is rural and urban, they do not necessarily know what is best for the local communities. Fortunately, federal law allows the Johnson City MTPO and Kingsport MTPO to work through issues like this locally.

Mr. Berry also recognized Ms. Ambre Torbett, Planner for Sullivan County. Ms. Torbett stated she was on the Boards of both the Kingsport MTPO and Bristol MPO. She was welcomed by the Board and at this point the discussion opened up to the floor. The question was asked if Johnson City MTPO would consider taking in additional rural areas of Sullivan County that were not in any MPO. Mr. Berry stated the major concern to the Johnson City MTPO was the impact of air quality designation and the possibility of Sullivan County being designated as “non-attainment” and could not recommend taking any addition areas in Sullivan County; however, he noted that the Kingsport MTPO could take these areas in the Planning Boundary.

At this point, Mr. Peterson suggested Johnson City and Washington County be included on the Kingsport MTPO Board. Mr. Berry stated he could draft a letter to that respect if the Board desired. Then Mr. Hartman stated it would be better if Johnson City and Washington County write individual letters representing their respective jurisdictions only to ask to be included in the Kingsport MTPO Executive Board and not the Johnson City MTPO, as it was only these two jurisdictions that were affected. Everyone agreed this was best.

Then Mr. Peterson also stated he would like a letter written to the Bristol MPO requesting they extend their MTPO planning boundary back to take Bluff City and Piney Flats into the Bristol MPO. Mr. Berry stated he would draft a letter. He also stated there was some additional work to be completed on the Johnson City MTPO MPA Boundary due to this discussion and he would be working on this over the next few weeks.

In conclusion of this discussion Mr. Berry stated, “as you can see, these are issues we have to deal with as our region grows together along transportation corridors.” He explained the Tri-Cities do not have a central core city. In fact the “geographic central core” is near the Tri-Cities Airport with little growth around that region. In fact, that area is classified as rural by the U.S. Census Bureau, but it is in the Kingsport MTPO Planning area.

Mr. Berry stated we need to start planning now for the next U.S. Census classification of “rural” and “urban” that will occur approximately in 6 to 8 years after the next decennial census. In 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau could define the region as one urbanized area, say the Tri-Cities Urbanized Area. This

Page 6 of 6

would make us one large MPO, with a large MPO being defined by the federal government as an urbanized area with a population of 200,000 or more. At this size, several of the rules change as it relates to MPOs and Transit.

Mr. Berry concluded the discussion on this topic by stating this information was presented to keep board members aware of what could happen and that the MTPO needs to start planning for “What If Scenarios” along these lines and there would be future discussions on this topic.

Agenda Item 5: Other Business Update / Citizens Concerns

No citizens’ concerns were raised and Mr. Berry thanked everyone for attending the meeting. Agenda Item 6:

Mr. Browning, designated by Mr. Peterson to chair the remainder of the meeting, stated the meeting was adjourned at approximately 11:28 a.m.

ITEM 2 Resolution 2014-02: Consider a resolution reaffirming the “Self Certifications and Federal Certifications” for the Johnson City MTPO that must accompany amendments to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The Johnson City MTPO is required to comply with federal law to “Self Certify” they are following all regulations as identified in U.S. CFR 23 Section 450.334 and an approved certification must be sent with the entire proposed TIP or when it is amended. It is recommended this item be approved by MTPO Executive Board by vote and accompanying resolution.

ITEM 3 Resolution 2014-03: Consider approval of amending the FY 2014-2017 TIP to add the following projects:

• Veterans Affairs Hospital Connector project; and • Dawn of Hope Minivan Purchase Project.

The Veterans Affairs Hospital Connector project was included in the past TIP; however, the lack of funding prevented it from being added as a project in the FY 2014-2017 TIP, which must be fiscally constrained. Now that funding has been identified for construction from the Federal Lands Access Program, this project must be amended into the current TIP. The total project cost for the construction phase for FY 2014 is $765,000. Federal funding for construction will be provided by the Federal Lands Access Program in the amount of $600,000 and $12,000 for project management. The local share of the project is $153,000. The Dawn of Hope Minivan Purchase project will provide for the purchase of two (2) lowered floor minivans, which includes $52,758.40 in Federal Section 5310 funding, $6,594.80 in State funding and $6,594.80 in Local Share, for a total project cost of $65,948.00. The MTPO has reviewed the current TIP and it is fiscally constrained. The MTPO recommends amending the TIP as specified to add the projects.

ITEM 4 Resolution 2014-04: Consider approval of the Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) Boundary As you know, there has been much discussion regarding the Johnson City Urbanized Area and its relationship to the Johnson City Metropolitan Transportation Planning Area. The Urbanized Area is established by the U.S. Census Bureau and any Urbanized Area with a population over 50,000 must be in an MPO Planning Area by federal law. Earlier this year, the Kingsport MPO adopted its MPA Boundary and was approved by the Governor with his signature. On April 16, 2014 the Bristol MPO Board passed resolution 14-05 and retracted their MPA boundary northward to remove the portion of the Johnson City Urbanized Area, locally known as the Bluff City and Piney Flats, from the Bristol MPA Boundary. Subsequently, the retracted Bristol MPA Boundary, along with other modifications, was approved by the Governor of Tennessee. Since the Kingsport and Bristol MPOs have an adopted and approved MPA by the Governor of Tennessee, the Johnson City MTPO is now recommending for your consideration the MPA Boundary shown on the following page. Please note it does include the portion of the Johnson City Urbanized Area in Sullivan County. Included in this item is a reference map along with an adopting resolution.
