6. Agency Updates
A. FDOT
Ms. Peters shared the following updates:
She contacted the work program to address the concern Ms. Lantz previously expressed
regarding the local TMC project being void of funding in FY25, as every year had approximately
$80,000. They advised it may have been an oversight, so she will put in a request and it will be
seen in the next tentative. She will also include FY26.
She spoke with Brent Setchell, District Drainage Design Engineer at FDOT District 1, about the 8
panther deaths along Owl Hammock Curve on SR 29. They may do a stand-alone project for
different shells and wildlife crosses in that area to alleviate some of the accidents and deaths
until the SR 29 construction project happens, in as many as 10 years.
B. MPO Executive Director
None
7. Committee Action
A. Endorse Amendment to FY 2020-2024 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP)
3
Mr. Ortman explained FDOT has asked to amend the current TIP to add a new transit project as
it is required in order to receive federal funds, which are programmed in FY 2020. The project
was selected during a competitive application process for 5310 funding. The protocol for public
involvement was followed, as public comment period started November 15, 2019 by sending
the amendment out to listeners for comment, posting it on the website, having it at the TAC
and CAC. To date, no public comments have been received.
Mr. Scott moved to endorse. Mr. Brock seconded it. Carried unanimously.
B. Endorse 2045 LRTP Zonal Data for Submission to FDOT

December 13, 2019 and submit data to FDOT by their January 15, 2020 deadline.
