4 TCC MEETING SUMMARY February 24, 2016 Page 2 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES JANUARY 27, 2016 The minutes of the January 27, 2016 TCC meeting were approved as provided. 3. FY 2015/16 FY 2019/20 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) AMENDMENT(S) Mr. Beaty indicated that there were no Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) amendments this month. 4. FISCAL YEARS 2016/17 AND 2017/18 UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM (UPWP) Sarah Perch, MPO staff, provided an overview regarding the FY 2016/17 and 2017/18 draft UPWP. She noted that the UPWP is required by state and federal law and identifies federal, state and local planning funds allocated per task in the MPO planning program. Ms. Perch noted that changes will continue to be made and the TCC members could any comments to her or Ms. Favero. Ms. Perch noted that the UPWP details all of the transportation and planning activities and funding from the MPOs, FDOT and PSTA. Local governments are also asked to provide their transportation planning projects. It was noted by Ms. Perch that a list of local, state and federal priorities were included in the document. The MPO s Pinellas SPOTlight priorities are also detailed in the document. With respect to funding, the MPO is primarily funded through the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration funding and FDOT. Ms. Perch also noted that major agreements are also listed. Ms. Perch directed the Committee s attention to the graphic regarding the UPWP schedule. She said that comments received from the Technical Coordinating Committee and Citizens Advisory Committee would be incorporated into the UPWP draft. Upon MPO approval on March 9th, the draft will transmitted to regional, state and federal review agencies (FHWA, FTA and FDFOT). Following their review, Ms. Perch said the final UPWP will be presented to the MPO in May and, hopefully, in June we will receive FHWA, FTA and FDOT final approval. It was noted by Ms. Perch that, in the past, there were a large number of Work Program Areas; however, that number has been reduced to eight through consolidation of tasks as follows: 1. Program Development and General Administration - grants management, the audit, invoicing as well as Title V and DBE programs. 2. Public Participation - involves the public participation plan, outreach activities, website and social media. 3. Monitoring Activities land use and socio economic data, level of service report and crash data report 4. Systems Planning congestions management operations and safety; public transportation planning; the Transportation Disadvantaged Program; bicycle and pedestrian planning; local government technical assistance and complete streets 5. Transportation Improvement Program Priority lists, Transportation Alternatives Program and Safe Routes to School 6. Long Range Planning and Environmental Sustainability development of 2045 LRTP; performance metrics and air quality. 7. Statewide and Regional Planning and Coordination Activities Tampa Bay TMA Leadership Group, Chair s Coordinating Committee, Regional studies including Tri-County Premium Transit Study (HART) 8. Special Projects New task category includes Emphasis Areas - Vision for U.S. 19 Corridor, Master Plan for the Gateway/Mid-County area and Enhancing Safe and Convenient Beach Community access. This category will include all work that is not recurring on an annual or set basis. Mr. Burke, Pinellas County Schools, said that that State passed legislation last year with regard to hazardous walk review for elementary schools. He said that they will need a representative from the MPO, FDOT, local police agencies, and local governments. Ms. Ward said that school related safety measures are included under the Congestion Management

5 TCC MEETING SUMMARY February 24, 2016 Page 3 Program. She noted the staff involved includes Mr. Chatman and Ms. Cuddington. Ms. Ward said that this has been discussed internally and there should be feedback coming with regard to representatives. Mr. Burke noted that he would forward their schedule to Mr. Chatman. Mr. Swearengen said that the County will be preparing an infrastructure vulnerability assessment of various areas throughout the County with respect to sea level rise and disastrous storms. He noted that the Gateway area will likely be designated as one of the studies areas. Ms. Favero noted that she met with Chris Moore of the Long Range Planning Division regarding that a couple of weeks ago. Ms. Ward said that a number of these efforts will be referenced in the UPWP write up. Requests were ed to the local governments for input on any related efforts to show that we are looking at the subjects comprehensively and will be added where appropriate. In response to Ms. Stacks asking if there are references to coordination with land use planning, Ms. Ward said that there is language in the introductory text of the draft document regarding coordination with the Planning Council as a partner agency for many of the tasks. Ms. Ward asked Ms. Perch to forward the modified draft to the TCC members and highlight any changes that are made to the draft the members received in the packet. A motion was made and seconded to approve the draft of the UPWP. The motion carried unanimously. 5. CLEARWATER FERRY Ms. Favero noted that, with recent discussions regarding ferry service in the Tampa Bay area, representatives from Clearwater Ferry were invited to talk about the work they are doing in the Clearwater area. Trish Rodriguez introduced herself and also Camille Hebting, both with Clearwater Ferry. Ms. Rodriguez noted that, within the last two weeks, the City of Clearwater formally agreed to partner with Clearwater Ferry in a 61-day campaign that starts as of March 1st through April 30th. During that timeframe, Clearwater Ferry will lower their one way ticket to $3, and Clearwater will pay $1; therefore, patrons will pay $2.00 each way from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., Monday through Sunday. Ms. Hebting added that they were asked to develop a plan to relieve congestion during Spring Break With respect to the history behind the service, Ms. Rodriguez noted that the 2003 Feasibility of Waterborne Transportation Report prepared by the Pinellas County MPO concluded that waterborne transportation is feasible for Pinellas County given a minimum level of public investment to initiate and support that service. She noted that she and her husband Dennis have been owners of Tropic Boat Tours since March She became involved with the Clearwater Beach Parking, Traffic and Infrastructure Committee (PTI). Through that committee, research and surveys showed there were over 7,700 employees on Clearwater Beach with 94% of them driving to the beach in season with no company provided parking. Based on that research and other studies, Ms. Hebting noted that the pilot program was established to meet their goals for the ferry. Currently, they have two vessels with four stops including downtown Clearwater, the Clearwater Beach Marina and also the north Clearwater Beach Rec Center, as well as excursions to Caladesi Island for tourists on weekends. The current schedule for the Pilot Program Route A has departures from Downtown Clearwater and Clearwater Beach Marina every hour on the hour. Ms. Hebting noted that they currently run two pontoon boats, including a 42 passenger capacity vessel and a 23 passenger boat. Pontoon boats are necessary because of the low bridge between the Causeway and the beach (13.5 feet high). Phase I will add additional vessels with seven stops and increase through 2018 with a total of ten stops.

6 TCC MEETING SUMMARY February 24, 2016 Page 4 Continuing, Ms. Hebting noted that the Clearwater Beach Employer Partnership Plan was started based on the data that Ms. Rodriguez previously referred to. She said that most employers do not have parking for their employees, but want to help them. There are two options for the employers 1) purchase discounted employee monthly passes for $35 each, or 2) a tiered monthly employer sponsorship that allows employees to purchase the Preferred Annual Ferry Pass for only $60. Ms. Hebting also reviewed available parking, noting that there are approximately 908 parking spaces in the downtown area. She said that discussion is taking place to determine if the City of Clearwater will open parking that is not used on weekends in the downtown area. Ms. Hebting also noted that customer service and safety are top priorities. The crew has cell phones to communicate with guests directly. They have also asked for higher police presence during peak employee hours and are implementing escorted service for late nights. Ms. Hebting said that bad weather is the only reason operations would be cancelled. It was also noted by Ms. Hebting that funding of Clearwater Ferry is critical to its success. She said that a large part of their funding comes from passenger rides, employee partnerships and advertising. Their hope for the future includes sheltered waiting areas at all stops, a downtown waiting area and ramp, and pay as well as boarding ticket kiosks. In response to a question regarding bikes on the vessels, she said that they do allow them. Ms. Hebting indicated that they have transported just over 32,000 riders since they started. During the busiest days of the year, they transport between 500 and 800 people and have the ability to transport 100 people per hour using their two current vessels. The partnership plan now in place will help them to increase this more quickly. She also noted that passage of the upcoming referendum would open the waterfront area to them and allow them to have restrooms, sell tickets on the dock and also add the kiosks. Mr. Blanton thanked the Clearwater Ferry visitors for the presentation and leading the way on waterborne transportation in the area. He said that there is a lot of interest in this subject and it will be important to identify the public actions needed to support this and break down any barriers that would allow this to operate more effectively in Pinellas County. Staff has been asked to bring some independent data and analysis to waterborne transportation. In a previous study about 12 years ago, Mr. Blanton said the Board at the time felt it was a private sector matter and there was not an appetite for expenditure of public dollars; however, that appears to be changing and there is much more interest at this time. Mr. Blanton welcomed any feedback from the TCC members. Several of the members provided very favorable comments regarding waterborne transportation in the area. In response to Ms. Stacks asking if the 2003 study would be updated, Mr. Blanton indicated that would be a good place to start. Vice Chair Sobush thanked Ms. Rodriguez and Ms. Hebting for their presentation. Those present provided a round of applause for the presenters. 6. IMPACT FEE USES Mr. Swearengen noted that the attachment provided with this item shows the currently adopted Section , Disposition of Funds, language of the Pinellas County Land Development Code, with changes shown in strike through/underline. He noted that the modification is intended to allow for impact fee revenue to be used on plans or studies associated with transportation improvement projects. Mr. Swearengen said that it was determined by the MPO and County Planning staff as well as the County Attorney s Office that allowing impact fee funds to be used for this purpose was consistent with established precedent in other areas of the State. It was also felt to be consistent with previous actions by the MPO and BCC to allow greater flexibility as to how impact fee monies are expended, particularly as it applies to encouraging transportation modes that provide an alternative to the automobile. Mr. Swearengen also indicated that other minor changes were made to the text since distributed to the municipalities earlier this month. No action was required for this item.

7 TCC MEETING SUMMARY February 24, 2016 Page 5 7. SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL UPDATE Mr. Feigel, MPO staff, explained that Stephen Benson of FDOT had planned to provide a detailed PowerPoint presentation regarding Safe Routes to School (SRTS) but was unable to attend the meeting. He said that Mr. Benson would provide his presentation at the next TCC meeting. In his absence, Mr. Fiegel provided a brief update regarding the changes occurring with regard to Safe Routes to School. It was noted by Mr. Feigel that, in December 2015, FDOT announced major changes to the SRTS program. At that time, there was a call for applications with a due date to the local FDOT district by March 31, Mr. Feigel indicated that the SRTS process is now going back to what it was prior to MAP-21 with applications going directly to FDOT. He said that SRTS projects will no longer be prioritized with TA projects. Mr. Feigel noted that if the municipalities have projects on the current TA list and want to see the project funded, they can also put them through as SRTS projects. He asked that courtesy copies of any SRTS applications be sent to him rfeigel@pinellascounty.org as soon as possible in the process to allow a required MPO signature for the project applications. Ms. Stacks asked if there will be a call for applications again next year because this year the hazardous walk conditions will not be known until after the applications are due this year. Ms. Stacks also wanted to know what the prioritization criteria looked like as well. Ms. Favero said that she would check with Mr. Benson and get the information back to the members. Vice Chair Sobush thanked Mr. Feigel for his report. 8. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS A. SPOTLight Emphasis Area Updates Mr. Blanton said that the development of work plans for each of the three emphasis areas is continuing. He noted that staff is also close to identifying a third date for a listening tour the Board requested to meet with the business community in each of the three emphasis areas. For U.S. 19, two meetings in one day are being planned with one in the north part of the county and another in south county. He also said that staff will be working with Visit St. Pete Clearwater, Pinellas County Economic Development, and Chambers of Commerce, to invite business groups that have transportation and land use interests and concerns to identify needs and issues. He said that the meetings already planned are on April 11th and May 16 th. Mr. Blanton said that there has been good dialogue with the FDOT, the County, cities and PSTA in helping to form the related scopes of work. B. TMA Leadership Group Update Ms. Ward said that it was previously noted that HART will be leading the Tri County Premium Transit Study. She indicated that the Executive Directors of the MPOs have met with HART s Executive Director to start discussing the scope. Meetings with the elected officials of the MPOs that comprise the TMA Leadership Group are being scheduled. Ms. Ward said that the study will get underway some time later this year. At the most recent meeting on Feb 5th, the group received a presentation from the Hillsborough Expressway Authority regarding their overall strategic plan. Of interest to Pinellas County and some of the local governments were the improvements to Gandy on the Hillsborough side. Mrs. Ward indicated that the Authority is getting ready to move forward with a design contract and, later this year, with a design/build project. She said that a presentation will be made to the Pinellas County MPO Board regarding this project as it relates to priorities on the Pinellas side. Ms. Ward also noted that there has been ongoing discussion with regard to the TMA Leadership Group s purpose, organization and priorities for Vice Chair Sobush thanked Ms. Ward for her report. C. U.S.19 Corridor Study Update Ms. Perch noted that staff continues to work through several items with Tindale Oliver and FDOT with respect to information that will be provided to the U.S. 19 Advisory Committee for further review.

8 TCC ITEM 3. FY 2015/16 FY 2019/20 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) AMENDMENTS There are no proposed TIP amendments scheduled for this meeting. However, if the need for a TIP amendment(s) arises following the mailing of the agenda packet, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will present the proposed amendment(s) under this agenda item. ATTACHMENT: Any proposed TIP amendment forms will be provided at the meeting ACTION: TCC to recommend approval of TIP amendments (if any) TCC: 3/23/16

9 TCC ITEM 4. MODIFICATION TO THE 2040 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN The MPO s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) includes transportation projects to serve all modes, including roadway projects, transit service and bicycle and pedestrian projects. While covering most major modes of transportation in Pinellas County, the LRTP does not currently address waterborne transportation. There are currently a few ferry operators serving tourist and leisure trips, but there is only one that caters to commuters, as well as beach visitors from Clearwater to Clearwater Beach. Discussions are currently underway in several communities to establish additional ferry services in other parts of the county. In order to recognize the increasing relevance of this mode in Pinellas County, MPO staff is recommending a modification to the LRTP to add language to address waterborne transportation. MPO staff is seeking a recommendation of approval of these modifications to the 2040 LRTP. These modifications will not impact the cost feasibility of the 2040 LRTP.

10 05 Plan Improvements and Implementa on Transit Needs Con nuing to look toward the future transporta on system for Pinellas County, the MPO evaluated how growth over the next years could be impacted by transporta on investments in fixed-guideway transit such as light rail and/or bus rapid transit (BRT). Through a series of itera ve evalua ons, a growth scenario was developed that iden fied a premium transit system connec ng major employment centers in Pinellas County and a future possible connec on with Hillsborough County across the Howard Frankland Bridge. Iden fied transit needs also included a system of new local and express bus routes, circulator routes and regional connec ons with Hillsborough and Pasco coun es, and increased headways and hours of service for exis ng PSTA transit routes. The vision for the future of transit in Pinellas involves connec ng the major ac vity centers and increasing frequencies and hours of service to provide choices and viable op ons for those who either cannot or choose not to drive their own vehicles. The transit vision iden fied for the Policy Plan is included as Map 5-4. It includes conceptual transit sta ons that reflect the poten al for infill and redevelopment. A separate Technical Report has been prepared that outlines the detailed analysis for developing the transit needs included in the Policy Plan. Figure 5-1 illustrates the concepts that were envisioned at future transit sta ons. Performance of transit can be measured in number of passengers as well as the accessibility of the transit system. Table 5-3 highlights the expected ridership resul ng from the Policy Plan as compared to the exis ng (2010) data. Ridership is projected to grow by nearly 200% if all of the transit service improvements included in the vision were in place. Accessibility, measured in the number of people, based on residence, and jobs that are within 1/4 mile of a transit route changes significantly under the Policy Plan. The transit system envisioned for Pinellas County provides transit service to a greater por on of the county than current service provides. With the increased accessibility to transit, comes an increase in expected daily ridership. With nearly twice as many people and jobs within 1/4 of a mile of transit, the ridership is projected to nearly triple by 2040 if the Policy Plan were in place. In addi on to BRT and light rail, the MPO is working with local jurisdic ons, regional partners and the private sector to evaluate the expansion of waterborne transit services, while exploring the feasibility of other transit op ons, such as aerial propelled transit. The MPO will provide technical support, including data collec on, to evaluate exis ng and emerging transit technologies to support enhanced mobility throughout Pinellas County and the Tampa Bay region.

11 STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM (SIS) MULTIMODAL UNFUNDED NEEDS PLAN UPDATE TCC ITEM 5. The Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Multi-Modal Unfunded Needs Plan (MMNP) is being updated by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The MMNP will identify needed capacity projects on the SIS, including airports, transit, highways, railroads, seaports, and spaceports. The MMNP will serve as an FDOT document essential to the development of Long Range Cost Feasible Plans, 2 nd 5 Years Plans, and the Department s Adopted Work Program. Coordination with partners will occur throughout the development of the MMNP. Projects identified in the SIS 2045 MMNP are recommended transportation improvements required to help meet travel demand. This plan does not imply a commitment to fund or build, but rather, is an identification and recognition of the transportation need. Projects selected from this plan for inclusion in the future updates of the SIS Long-Range Cost Feasible Plan will be prioritized for funding, and move forward as recommended solutions for increasing mobility and meeting the Florida Transportation Plan (FTP) goals, and SIS objectives. FDOT staff will give a presentation on the SIS 2045 MMNP. ATTACHMENT: None ACTION: None required; informational item TCC: 3/23/16

12 TCC ITEM 6. SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL (SRTS) PROGRAM UPDATE In December 2015, MPO staff sent local governments the attached announcement of changes to the SRTS Program and a call for new SRTS applications. The FDOT is now handling all SRTS applications throughout the state. In Pinellas County, all SRTS applications should be submitted to the FDOT District Seven Office. Although the MPO will no longer include SRTS projects on the Transportation Alternatives (TA) Program priority list, FDOT will be requiring an MPO signature on all applications. This is intended to indicate that the MPO is aware of and supports the projects as described in the applications. Project sponsors are asked to send a copy of their applications to the MPO prior to FDOT submittal and allow at least one week for review. Copies of SRTS applications should be sent to Robert Feigel at rgfeigel@pinellascounty.org. Electronic copies are acceptable. An FDOT representative will provide an overview of the new changes to the SRTS Program and, along with MPO staff, will respond to any questions. ATTACHMENT: Safe Routes to School Call for Applications ACTION: None required; informational item TCC: 3/23/16

13 December, 2015 Florida SRTS in Action What is the Goal of SRTS? The goal of SRTS program is to get more students walking and bicycling where it is safe and to fix the conditions where it is not safe. The opportunity to bike and walk to school offers a solution to an array of concerns about traffic safety, traffic congestion, transportation costs and lack of physical activity. At the same times, walking and bicycling to school provides an opportunity for students to build independence. Our goal is based on making that solution into a reality. Call for Applications December 1, 2015 opens the call for applications for Safe Routes to School Applications in Florida. Florida is seeking applications to plan, develop, implement and evaluate eligible Safe Routes to School (SRTS) infrastructure projects. The application is available at the following link. Eligible recipients of these funds to be used for SRTS projects are limited to state, local and regional transportation maintaining agencies, including schools and school districts. Schools and School Districts will need to partner with a maintaining agencies to complete the projects. Applications will be accepted only from these entities. Recipients of SRTS funds will be responsible for all aspects of project implementation. Eligible SRTS projects shall directly support increased safety and convenience for students in grades K-high school to walk and/or bicycle to/from school. In addition, all projects that use SRTS funds shall comply with applicable federal, state and local provisions.

15 TCC ITEM 7. A. B. TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES (TA) PROGRAM CHANGES Transportation Alternatives (TA) Program funding is allocated under the Moving Ahead for Progress for the 21st Century (MAP-21) legislation passed in 2012 for non-road building projects such as pedestrian and bicycle facilities and safety programs. Funding received under this program by Pinellas County is allocated to projects identified on an adopted priority list included in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The adopted TA Program priority list will be updated in September to remove completed and withdrawn projects. MPO advisory committees are scheduled to review priority lists in August and the MPO is scheduled to adopt it on September 07, The FDOT will then utilize the adopted priority list in the development of their five-year work program for the next fiscal year. Discussion of changes to the TA Program is provided below. A. New TA Program Application Addendum Due May 1, 2016 FDOT recently made a number of changes to the TA Program incorporated in a new TA Program Application Addendum (attached). For all projects on the TA Program priority list that have not been funded / programmed, project sponsors must complete the new addendum by close of business on May 1, The addendum requires that project sponsors agree to: bear all expenses in excess of the approved project phase cost as shown in the LAP agreement; enter into a maintenance agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation, as necessary, prior to the design phase; comply with the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Acquisition Policies Act (The Uniform Act) for any rightof-way actions required for the project; comply with NEPA process prior to construction which may require involvement with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and other State and/or Federal agencies, prior to construction; and enter into a LAP Agreement (if local agency is certified) with the FDOT for each project phase of this project. Only complete application addendums will be considered for funding, and incomplete applications will not be processed until all information has been received. The addendum includes a TA Checklist that project sponsors can use to help ensure that that the addendum is complete. The checklist of information required includes documentation of public involvement, design plans (if underway or completed) or conceptual rendering and a proposed typical section. FDOT recently hired a staff member to help local governments in the region provide all of the information required by the new addendum. FDOT staff will give a presentation to the TCC regarding the changes to the TA Program and answer questions about the new addendum.

16 TCC ITEM 7. A. B. (Continued) TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES (TA) PROGRAM CHANGES B. Transportation Alternatives Program Prioritization Criteria Update New TA Program applications are not currently being accepted by the MPO. The current focus is on processing new TA Program application addendums for unfunded projects on the existing TA Program priority list. Concurrently, MPO staff will be continuing the process of updating the draft prioritization criteria that began in In 2015, the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) formed a TA Program subcommittee to update the TA project ranking criteria. At their meeting on April 6, the subcommittee recommended modifications to the criteria. Each of the advisory committees subsequently reviewed and provided comment on the updated criteria recommended by the TCC subcommittee. Following the subcommittee meeting, additional changes were recommended by MPO, Pinellas Planning Council and City of St. Petersburg staff that were reviewed by the MPO advisory committees between May and August. Following the hiring of its new MPO Executive Director, the MPO has not taken any formal steps to change the criteria beyond the revisions developed through the TA Program subcommittee and advisory committees in MPO staff will be meeting internally to discuss additional revisions to the criteria that take into consideration the Complete Streets program, changes to other priority lists and funding sources, FDOT changes to TA applications and a performancebased/outcome-driven planning process. Robert Feigel, MPO Staff, will provide a brief update regarding changes to the TA Program prioritization criteria. ATTACHMENT: None ACTION: None required; informational item TCC: 3/23/16

22 TCC ITEM 8. GENERAL PLANNING CONSULTANT SELECTION On January 6, 2016, the Pinellas Planning Council (PPC) and Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) released a Request for Proposals (RFP) #16-01 to request that qualified consultants submit proposals for consideration in the competitive selection of professional planning services for fiscal years (FYs) 2016/17 and 2017/18. Professional planning services were sought for five general planning sub areas, including multimodal transportation planning and analysis, economic analysis, communications and public involvement, urban design, and land use/redevelopment. These sub areas were created in order to support not only the mandated land use and transportation planning functions, but also the three Pinellas Strategic Planning and Operations and Topics (SPOTlight) for : US 19 Corridor, Beach Access and the Gateway/Mid-County area. Local governments will also be able to use the PPC/MPO s consultants for services that fall within any of the sub areas by making a request through the PPC/MPO. The firms were allowed to bid on one or more of the five sub areas. A selection committee composed of the MPO, PPC and Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) staff reviewed and scored the proposals that were submitted. On February 11, the GPC selection committee agreed on a shortlist of consultant firms based on an evaluation and scoring of proposals submitted by 19 firms. The PPC/MPO notified the eight shortlisted firms and required each firm to provide a presentation. On February 26, the GPC selection committee ranked the presentations of the eight firms based on individual evaluations of the request for proposal (RFP) submittals and oral presentations of each firm. These scores were combined to determine final rankings. In consideration of the rankings, the selection committee chose the firms that were recommended for contracts. These six recommended firms, and the corresponding work areas for which they were evaluated, are shown below, and were approved by the Board at their meeting on March 9 th. Since these firms will be available to support local government planning activities, MPO staff will give a brief overview of the firms chosen and examples of their relevant work.
