6. AGENCY UPDATES
6.A. FDOT
Mr. Gaither reported that FDOT had conducted its Draft Tentative Work Program public hearing
from October 20-24, 2025, with a public meeting held on October 24th. He also mentioned that FDOT had
received the Collier MPO’s letter and was preparing a response based on the comments from the previous
meeting. In addition to drafting a formal reply, staff were actively working on several of the items raised in
the letter. He stated that FDOT had already met with Collier County staff regarding the SR 29 Loop and
expected additional discussions as they worked toward a solution acceptable to all parties. There was
Page 7 of 125

ongoing coordination with Collier County staff on I‑75 improvements at Pine Ridge Road, as well as
upcoming discussions related to Immokalee.
6.B. MPO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Ms. McLaughlin said the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) survey for the Collier
and Lee MPO consolidation study was open for one more day.
7. CHAIR REPORTS
7.A. CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CAC)
7.A.1. Citizens Advisory Committee Chair Report
The report was presented in writing.
7.B. TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE (TAC)
7.B.1. Technical Advisory Committee Chair Report
The report was presented in writing.
7.C. BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN COMMITTEE (BPAC)
7.C.1. Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee Chair Report
Ms. Sproviero said that Gene McPherson of Cape Coral attended the Bicycle & Pedestrian
Advisory Committee (BPAC) meeting to present an off‑road trail he mapped from Florida City to
Fort Myers. While BPAC members were familiar with portions of the route, Mr. McPherson had
connected the full corridor. The BPAC Chair Report references the City of Naples, although the
trail segment is in Lee County, so it wasn't included in the report. Mr. McPherson had been referred
to the BPAC by The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Office of
Greenways and Trails (OGT) following the Florida Bicycle Meeting in November 2025. As BPAC
is not a regulatory body for authorizing public access, committee members advised Mr. McPherson
to work directly with the appropriate land management agencies, as many of the roads involved are
gated, similar to several off‑road and gravel corridors in Collier County.
Ms. Sproviero also reported that the committee is very supportive of the new bicycle and
pedestrian safety ordinance related to e‑bikes adopted by the Collier County Board of
Commissioners (BCC). She said that at the November meeting, BPAC voted to recommend
expanding the ordinance to include Class 2 e‑bikes, commonly known as throttle bikes, due to
safety concerns. These bikes do not require pedal assist, are frequently encountered by bicyclists,
and can be easily modified through an app to exceed the 20‑mph limit, sometimes reaching speeds
of up to 50 mph.
Page 8 of 125

Chair Kowal said that as the author of the ordinance, Class 2 e‑bikes were considered
during the original drafting, but that the elderly community in Collier County strongly supports
their use. The BCC chose not to place additional restrictions on Class 2 e‑bikes for that reason. He
added that Collier County’s approach remains consistent with state regulations.
Commissioner LoCastro said the BCC understood the ordinance was not fully
comprehensive when it was adopted, but it was important to put something in place that addressed
most issues. He added that some elements of the ordinance cannot be revised as they fall under
state authority, but that he had been collecting feedback worthy of consideration for fine tuning.
7.D. CONGESTION MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (CMC)
7.D.1. Congestion Management Committee Chair Report
The report was presented in writing.
7.E. LOCAL COORDINATING BOARD FOR THE TRANSPORTATION
DISADVANTAGED (LCB)
7.E.1. Local Coordinating Board Chair Report
Vice-Chair Pernas said the LCB approved the annual update to the LCB Grievance
Policy/Procedures at the December 3, 2025 LCB meeting, adding language to the proposed update
to specify that the number of days to take action excludes weekends and Collier County
Government holidays, passing unanimously. The LCB also approved the Community
Transportation Coordinator’s (CTC) Final Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged
(CTD), approved the FY 2024-25 Annual Operating Report and endorsed the submittal of Federal
Transit Administration Sections 5310, 5311 and 5339 Grant Applications to Support the CTC.
8. REGULAR BOARD ACTION (ROLL CALL REQUIRED)
8.A. Approve the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)
Ms. Mclaughlin reported that the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) unanimously endorsed
the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), and the Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) endorsed
it by a vote of 7–1. If the Board approves the plan, staff and the consultant, Jacobs Engineering, would
complete a final review to address any scrivener’s errors or minor corrections before submitting it to FDOT,
for a 90-day comment period.
Since the Board last reviewed the 2050 LRTP, several updates were made during the committee
review process. The public comment period on the interactive map remained open, and Jacobs Engineering
updated the public involvement section to include the most recent feedback. Comments received were
minor and came from FDOT’s Multimodal Division and County Transportation Planning, helping to clarify
Page 9 of 125
5
and clean up the document. All revisions had been incorporated. Jacobs Engineering staff were present to
answer questions.
Ms. Thomas spoke on behalf of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, stating that the
Conservancy reviews road projects for environmental impacts during the LRTP process, and focuses on
those posing the greatest ecological risk. She noted that many of the most concerning segments were not
included in the Cost Feasible Plan. One such project is the proposed I‑75 interchange near Everglades Blvd.
Although described as being “in the vicinity,” it may be intended to serve large developments awaiting
federal permits. She emphasized that FDOT rejected an interchange at this location in 2012 because
short‑distance local trips conflict with state and federal policies for interstate use and that the County should
instead pursue realistic alternatives to improve traffic flow within Golden Gate Estates and between the
Estates and western Collier County.
There is also concern about Big Cypress Parkway, as it would destroy and fragment primary
panther habitat and could isolate more than 4,000 acres of critical land. Its proximity to major public lands
raises additional concerns about runoff and watershed impacts. Although the road is required for several
planned villages, she noted that Collier County taxpayers would bear nearly all associated costs. She
thanked the Board for its work on the LRTP and for considering the Conservancy’s comments.
Commissioner McDaniel moved to approve the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)
and Council Member Schwan seconded.

MPO Executive Director position to be invited to interview for the position. All 3 candidates accepted the
invitation and were present: Vinod Sandanasamy, Carmen Monroy, and Nicholas Danu. The 3 applicants

OBJECTIVE: For the Board to approve the proposed Employment Agreement for Carmen T. Monroy as Executive

national search for a new MPO Director was completed by the Collier County Human Resources Department.
Following the national search, applicants were narrowed to three candidates to interview. Interviews of the three
candidates took place at the Board’s December 11, 2025, meeting, and the Board selected Carmen Monroy as the
candidate they wished to appoint as the new MPO Director. The County Attorney’s Office was directed to work with
Ms. Monroy and the MPO Chairman to negotiate an acceptable employment agreement.
Ms. Monroy’s Employment Agreement is included as Attachment 1.
Collier MPO staff provided the proposed Agreement to FHWA and FDOT for review and concurrence. FDOT
responded that it does not provide review or concurrence on employment at the MPO. FHWA responded that it does not
provide concurrence for Executive Director appointments.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: N/A

without cause, by a majority vote of the MPO.
In the event this Employment Agreement is terminated by the MPO before expiration of the

lump sum cash payment within ten (10) working days after the effective date of termination, as
follows:
A. An amount equal to four (a) weeks of Employee's annual base salary at the rate effective

CAO
B.
Page 3 of8
Page 40 of 125
a merit adjustment upon the successful completion of measurable goals and
objectives to be completed or attained by the Employee during each fiscal year of
this Agreement. The percentage of any annual performance-based merit adjustment
to the Employee's base pay or such one-time lump sum amount shall be set by the
MPO Board but no such award is guaranteed and is also subject to available funding.
The MPO Board may also choose to adopt any merit pay adjustment policy offered
by Collier County Government to its employees.
On the date that general wage adjustments (i.e., cost of living adjustments, special
study pay adjustments, etc.) are granted generally to Collier County Government
employees, the Employee's base salary shall likewise be modified to reflect such
general wage adjustments. The timing of any such wage adjustments is for
administrative purposes only as the Employee is not a County Employee but rather
reports directly to the MPO and there is no guarantee that the Employee will receive
such general wage adjustments.

The MPO shall review and evaluate the perforrnance of the Employee in accordance with
the approved evaluatiorVperformance-based merit plan as provided in Section 7. Written evaluations

which shall take place during the MPO's regular October meeting. A summary of all evaluations
will be prepared by the MPO Board Chair and Employee including any recorlmended merit wage
adjustment consistent with the procedure stated in Section 7. If the MPO Board approves a merit
wage adjustment, it will become effective upon the date the MPO Board approves the merit wage
adjustment amount and will be processed with the Employee's next regular scheduled paycheck. An
updated performance evaluation plan for Employee will be developed in good faith between the
MPO and Employee and adopted by the MPO no later than its first regular meeting in December of
each year of the Agreement.
Section 9: Hours of Work
All duties required hereunder shall be performed by the Employee personally, or through the
assistance of such MPO employees as may be made available from time-to-time, which the
Employee shall assume full responsibility; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed
to absolve the Employee of personal responsibility for the duties set forth herein. The Employee
shall be available to perform said duties while working a minimum of a forty (40) hour work week
and shall be available to accomplish such duties, as needed, during said period of employment
consistent with the duties of an "exempt" employee under the Fair Labor Standards Acq29 U.S.C.
$$ 201, et seq., as amended. Except as otherwise directed by the MPO, the manner and means of
performance of the duties herein shall be determined by the Employee. All acts performed by the
Employee, explicitly or implicitly, on behalf of the MPO, within the scope of this employment, shall
be deemed authorized by the MPO as its agent, except that any act which constitutes willful
misconduct or which may be unlawful shall be deemed to be an individual act of the Employee

Executive Summary
Adopt Florida Department of Transportation Target Zero Safety Performance Targets for Calendar Year 2026
OBJECTIVE: For the Board to adopt the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Safety Performance Targets
for calendar year 2026.
CONSIDERATIONS: Safety Targets are the only federal Transportation Performance Measure that must be adopted
annually. FDOT establishes the State’s safety targets in the Highway Safety Improvement Plan. FDOT is maintaining its
Target Zero safety performance targets for 2026: zero fatalities and zero serious injuries on Florida roadways. MPOs
have the option to either adopt the Statewide safety targets or establish their own quantifiable safety targets. (The “hard”
deadline for the MPO Board to adopt annual safety targets is February 2026.)
Collier MPO has consistently elected to adopt the FDOT statewide targets. (This is not to be confused with the MPO
having identified a performance target of reducing serious injuries and fatalities by 25% by 2050 as an interim measure
to meet the requirements of the Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Program.)
By supporting FDOT’s Target Zero Statewide safety targets, the MPO is making a commitment to support FDOT’s
investments in safety improvements and to making safety a priority in the development of the Long-Range
Transportation Plan and the Transportation Improvement Program. Statewide and Collier County performance metrics
are shown in the following tables taken from the 2050 LRTP System Performance Report, Appendix F. The original
data source is the FDOT online Source Book.

STATEWIDE TARGETS
FDOT establishes statewide safety targets for the follow-
ing calendar year as part of the HSIP Annual Report, which
must be submitted by August 31 each year.
Given FDOT’s firm belief that every life counts, the target
set for all safety performance measures is ZERO.
MPO TARGETS
MPOs must set targets by February 27 of each year (within
180 days after FDOT sets targets). MPOs have the option of
supporting the statewide targets or establishing their own
targets for the MPO planning area.
MPOs must include the most recent reported performance
and targets with each TIP update. The TIP must describe how
the investments contribute to achieving the performance tar-
gets. The LRTP must include a System Performance Report
that discusses the performance of the transportation system
and progress achieved in meeting the targets over time.
ASSESSMENT OF SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS
FHWA considers a state to have met or made significant
progress when at least four of the five safety targets are met
or the actual outcome is better than baseline performance.
Florida is making progress towards achieving the targets
established for serious injuries but not yet for fatalities or
non-motorized users.
As requested by FHWA, FDOT annually develops an HSIP
Implementation Plan to highlight strategies it will undertake
in support of these targets. MPOs are encouraged to review
this Plan each year to identify strategies appropriate for
their planning area.
FHWA will not assess MPO target achievement. However,
FHWA will review MPO adherence to performance man-
agement requirements as part of periodic transportation
planning process reviews.

RE: ln Support of Neal Gelfand for the GNL Distinguished Leadership Award
Dear Mr. Trachtenberg,
I have had the pleasure of working with Neal Gelfand over the past eight yearc that he has been on the
Collier MPO's Citizens Advisory Committee. Mr. Gelfand served as Chair or Vice Chair for most of
those years and set the tone for civility and reasoned debate.
Mr. Gelfand exemplifies leadership by encouraging fellow committee members to speak up, ask
questions and respectfully challenge the accuracy of reports and presentations. He frequently elevates
the discussion by asking thought provoking questions that have no easy answers.
The community benefits greatly when exceptional leaders such as Mr. Gelfand play an active role in
local govemment. Chairing boards and committees is heavy work that too often goes unrecognized. I
am happy to have the opportunity to support his nomination for GNL's Distinguished Leadership
Award.
