2017/10/30 TAC Meeting Minutes
Call to Order
Sherlock called the meeting to order at 10:00 am. The Nebraska Open Meetings Act was
acknowledged.
Roll Call
Roll call was taken.
Approval of Minutes from the July 20, 2017 Technical Advisory Committee
Motion by Wahlgren to approve the minutes of the July 20, 2017 meeting, seconded by Ferguson.
Upon voice vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
Approval Recommendation of Final Draft TIP Amendment No. 1 to FY 2018-2022 TIP
Zafft informed the committee with the addition of the 5 Points Intersection Improvement project to
the City of Grand Island’s planned projects an amendment is required to the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP). The State has committed to providing up to $1.7M towards this project,
which is financially constrained and is consistent with the currently adopted Long Range
Transportation Plan. Zafft also stated per the Public Participation Plan a public comment period is
required for such amendment.
Motion by Collins to approve Recommendation of Final Draft TIP Amendment No. 1 to FY 2018-2022
TIP, seconded by Wahlgren. Upon voice vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
Approval Recommendation of Amendment No. 3 to the TAC Bylaws
Sherlock presented Amendment No. 3 to the TAC Bylaws, which adds two (2) entities as voting
members to the committee; City of Grand Island Transit Program Manager and Central Nebraska
Regional Airport. It was discussed to specify the Executive Director to serve as the voting member for
Central Nebraska Regional Airport. Consequently, the Amendment No. 3 will show Central Nebraska
Regional Airport Executive Director as one of the TAC voting members. Zafft mentioned that this
amendment will also change the Nebraska Department of Roads Highway Planning Manager to
Nebraska Department of Transportation Intermodal Planning Engineer or designee. Gavin also
requested the change for all Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) titles to Nebraska Department of
Transportation (NDOT) titles.
The City of Grand Island Transit Program Manager and Central Nebraska Regional Airport Executive
Director will not be official TAC voting members until the Policy Board approves Amendment No. 3 on
December 12, 2017 and the Governor of Nebraska approves the GIAMPO redesignation agreement
sometime in early 2018.
Motion by Wahlgren to approve Recommendation of Amendment No. 3 to the TAC Bylaws, seconded
by Schafer. Upon voice vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.

2017/10/30 TAC Meeting Minutes
Financial Update
Zafft provided a summary of the State FY 2017 budget and completed work highlights, as well as the
first quarter budget information for State FY 2018 with completed work for the same timeframe.
Bike/Ped Master Plan Update
Zafft informed the committee that three (3) neighborhood meetings were completed for the
Bike/Ped Master Plan, which were held at Gates Elementary School, Westridge Middle School, and
Walnut Middle School. The outcome of such meetings was that better connections at/near schools
are needed, gaps in the NE & S parts of the City need to be filled in, a route to the Vets ball field
needs to be established, and folks prefer trails and low volume streets to walk/bike on, as well as
separate facilities. A Community Workshop was held at the Grand Island Public Library and an online
community survey was conducted. Zafft also informed the committee of the website walkbikegi.com
as the source for information. A public comment period is the next step with a public meeting to be
held in January.
State Freight Plan
Zafft and Salac informed the committee that by having a freight plan the State is qualified to receive
up to $8M in transportation funds; opportunity for more grant programs (Tiger, Infa, etc.). Current
State administration is interested in economic development tied to manufacturing and agriculture
type business. A freight plan will identify bottlenecks in the transit system and develop projects to
provide relief. Luther confirmed this plan is not required; however the State is not eligible for
additional funds if no plan is in place. Olson questioned if there is a match/cost share on the grants,
to which both Zafft & Salac stated most often there is. Zafft noted roadways such as Highway 281,
Highway 30, Highway 34 and Interstate 80 that are identified as key freight corridors by this plan.
Zafft mentioned the State coordinated with the metropolitan planning organizations to designate
critical urban and rural freight corridors. For the GIAMPO region, sections of US 30 and the east
bypass were identified as critical urban freight corridors.
Approval Recommendation of Final Draft Summary Final Report for Regional Transit Study
Zafft introduced Nick Weander of Olsson Associates to present the final draft summary report for the
Regional Transit Study. Weander presented the different transit options that were developed from
the study and the financing required to implement each plan. A public comment period will be
necessary upon Policy Board approval.
Motion by Ferguson to Approve Recommendation of Final Draft Summary Final Report for Regional
Transit Study, seconded by Collins. Upon voice vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.

separate, with recommendation from TAC to Policy Board.
As of October 11, 2017 the Federal Highway Administration & Federal Transit Administration have
approved the STIP for FY 2018-2021.
Next Meeting Date
The next Meeting of the TAC will be on December 11, 2017 at 10:00 am.

ISSUE
VOTE: Amendment No. 3 to the Long Range Transportation Plan
BACKGROUND
In April 2016, the GIAMPO Policy Board approved the Journey 2040, the Grand Island
metropolitan region’s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). It is a blueprint that describes
how the region will invest in its multimodal transportation system over the next 25 years.
The GIAMPO amends the LRTP to accommodate changes to projects in the LRTP.
The proposed Amendment No. 3 to the LRTP adjusts the anticipated project costs for one (1)
Nebraska Department of Transportation project and adjusts the fiscal constraint of the plan
to include additional anticipated federal revenue.
State ID 42674 – I-80 improvements from Platte River west of Grand Island to Phillips
o Changes the project federal-aid amount from $7.300 million to $11.396 million
and the project total estimate from $8.144 million to $12.708 million.
Amendment No. 3 requires modifications in Chapter 7 – Financial Plan and Chapter 9 –
Recommended Plan of the LRTP.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS/DISCUSSION
GIAMPO’s Public Participation Plan requires that proposed amendments to the LRTP be
released for public review and comment prior to Policy Board adoption. The Public
Participation Plan states the following for an amendment – “Notification of amendment to
the TAC prior to posting the draft for public comment, with explanation of the need for the
amendment.” The TAC was notified via email prior to public comment period for
Amendment No. 3 to the LRTP with an explanation of the need for this amendment. The
public comment period began on November 8, 2017 and will conclude on December 8, 2017.
BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
None.
COMMITTEE ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 3 to the Long Range Transportation Plan.

Table 7-2 on the following page shows the amount of funding available for constructing new projects after the costs for personnel, operations, maintenance, reconstruction, and equipment, plus projects
that have already been programed, are subtracted. This funding balance is assumed to be available to
construct new projects in the GIAMPO Area based upon a conservative forecast of future operations and maintenance costs and revenue generation. Assumptions relating to the forecasts and detailed tables are shown in Appendix C.
9 To Be determined (TBD): Federal revenue estimates for NDOR projects in the GIAMPO planning area will be determined as the MPO’s needs are assessed and funding targets are established. At this time, NDOR is still
assessing the need for specific projects of regional significance in the Grand Island Area MPO planning area for the period of 2020-2040. NDOR has established revenue projections within the timeframe of the NDOR Surface
Transportation Program Book, a six-year document that outlines NDOR’s projects and future expenditures. NDOR recognizes an ongoing and long-term need to monitor, evaluate and upgrade the state highway and interstate
highway system in the Grand Island Area MPO planning area as well as the State of Nebraska at large. NDOR will continue to monitor the existing conditions and proposed future changes to the state highway system
with the continuing cooperation, coordination and assistance of GIAMPO and local partners. As future needs are identified with regard to infrastructure condition, safety, roadway capacity or transit service, NDOR will work to
address these needs and include them through update or amendment in the GIAMPO Long Range Plan, TIP and the NDOR Surface Transportation Program Book and STIP as required by State and Federal regulation.

Funding for transit service was also examined through the 2040 horizon year. Transit service in the GIAMPO area is expected to continue but will be subject to the availability of local matching funds. A
detailed breakdown of transit funding sources, assumptions and year-to-year forecasts for available
revenue is shown in Appendix C. It is assumed that Grand Island will provide service only up to the budget that is available through a combination of Federal Transit funding and local matching dollars. A summary of the available transit revenue is shown below in Table 7-3.

Committed projects are defined to include those projects currently programmed or now under construction. The first step in identifying the amount of funds available for new construction was to
subtract the cost of these projects from the estimated total revenues from 2016 through 2040. A
number of major projects have been programmed for the Grand Island area. Many of the committed projects are being completed by NDOR utilizing federal funding from a number of sources. The specific
construction year and funding by source can be found in the GIAMPO Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) 2016-2020 and 2018-2022.
Between 2016 and 2022, NDOR will complete a major reconstruction on I-80 in the GIAMPO study
area, the reconstruction of U.S.-281 between U.S.-30 and Broadwell, and replacement of three bridges on U.S.-30. NDOR has also committed to construct a U.S.-30 west bypass from west of US-281 to near
County Road 20 and then also install automated gates at I-80 interchanges. The total cost of these
projects, shown in Table 9-2, is estimated at $72 million.
14 To Be determined (TBD): Federal revenue estimates for NDOR projects in the GIAMPO planning area will be determined as the MPO’s needs are assessed and funding targets are established. At this time, NDOR is still
assessing the need for specific projects of regional significance in the Grand Island Area MPO planning area for the period of 2020-2040. NDOR has established revenue projections within the timeframe of the NDOR Surface

Note: Project Costs have been inflated to Year of Expenditure by sponsoring jurisdictions at a 4 percent increase per year per US DOT recommendations.
The City of Grand Island and Hall County in the GIAMPO study area have an annual Operation and
Maintenance budget to maintain the existing transportation infrastructure. It includes personnel, equipment, and materials cost of maintenance. It also includes funds for more extensive maintenance projects such as resurfacing, replacing curbs, signs, signal maintenance, and other similar activities.
NDOR contracts with the local governments to complete routine maintenance. Table 9-3 presents the combined local and state maintenance costs. Operation and Maintenance costs, also presented in
Table 9-3, were projected for the next 25 years. These costs are shown on an annual basis in Appendix
C. In addition, a general estimate of reconstruction costs for projects not yet determined was included in these cost estimates. The funds for operations, maintenance, and reconstruction are shown in Table 9-3. The inflation rate for the future year of expenditure is based upon past trends for each specific line
item. These assumptions and rates are documented in Appendix C.

9.2 Project Priority Process
The projects were evaluated and prioritized based upon the funds and in what time period the project would be proposed. This process took three steps: project evaluation, public input, and MPO Technical
Committee review.
Each of the proposed projects presented in the Long-Range Transportation Plan was evaluated based on the GIAMPO 2040 project goals and evaluation criteria presented in Chapter 3. Each criterion was
transparent. Base factors and criteria were developed for each project goal. A composite score was
calculated for each project based on the goal score multiplied by the goal weight, which was developed as part of the public involvement process. The priorities are discussed in Chapter 5, with detailed
project scoring shown in the Appendices.
Public input was sought on project priorities. As part of the second public meeting, participants scored a
high, medium, or low prioritization to each project type. They also provided input on specific projects
15 To Be determined (TBD): Federal revenue estimates for NDOR projects in the GIAMPO planning area will be determined as the MPO’s needs are assessed and funding targets are established. At this
time, NDOR is still assessing the need for specific projects of regional significance in the Grand Island
Area MPO planning area for the period of 2020-2040. NDOR has established revenue projections within the timeframe of the NDOR Surface Transportation Program Book, a six-year document that

to monitor, evaluate and upgrade the state highway and interstate highway system in the Grand Island Area MPO planning area as well as the State of Nebraska at large.
NDOR will continue to monitor the existing conditions and proposed future changes to the state highway system with the continuing cooperation, coordination and assistance of GIAMPO and local partners. As future needs are identified with regard to infrastructure condition, safety, roadway capacity
or transit service, NDOR will work to address these needs and include them through update or
amendment in the GIAMPO Long Range Plan, TIP and the NDOR Surface Transportation Program Book and STIP as required by State and Federal regulation.
