TPO amends agenda language to direct director to seek larger state SMART program funding for Miami‑Dade demonstration projects
Summary
The board approved an amendment to agenda item 5B1 directing the TPO executive director or designee to seek an increase in the annual state funding provided for SMART program demonstration projects in Miami‑Dade County; Board member Bermudez sponsored the amendment and Board member DeSoume was added as a cosponsor.
The TPO governing board approved an amendment to agenda item 5B1 that changes the title and enactment clause to direct the TPO executive director or designee to seek an increase in the annual state allocation provided to the TPO for SMART program demonstration projects in Miami‑Dade County.
Board member Bermudez was identified as the sponsor of the amendment; Board member DeSoume asked to be listed as a cosponsor. The amendment was offered during the agenda‑setting portion of the meeting and the board later approved item 5B1 as amended when the group voted on consent items 5B1, 5B2 and 5B4 together.
The transcript records the motion to amend the agenda language, a second, and the chair setting the amended item for adoption. The board did not record a roll‑call vote specifically for the amendment during the agenda change; when the items were moved together later, the board voted to adopt the amended items.
The record does not provide the current annual state amount for the SMART program that staff will seek to increase; the directive assigns the executive director or designee responsibility to pursue an increased allocation with state partners.
