Board adopts revised 10‑year plan with updated fee forecasts and map corrections
Loading...
Summary
The transportation enterprise board adopted a revised 10‑year plan that updates fee forecasts, corrects reporting‑period language per Attorney General guidance and adds recent grant award information; the motion passed unanimously.
The enterprise board voted to adopt a revised 10‑year plan after staff summarized updates to fee forecasts, maps and reporting language.
Darius, NAEP program administrator and director of the Division of Transportation Development, told the board the revision updates the fee forecast and the nonpayment‑area map, incorporates the CCCAP awards and corrects language on whether reporting follows the fiscal or calendar year “as required on statute,” a fix made after advice from the Attorney General’s Office. He said the full 10‑year plan is available in the board packet and that, if approved, the updated plan would be posted to the enterprise web page (address read in the meeting as “nappy.codot.gov”).
Board members asked staff how map or area changes would be handled if an EPA redesignation altered nonattainment boundaries. Darius said EPA decisions could lead to a future discussion and that, if a grant’s scope or dollar amount changed substantially, the board would be asked to review and approve the change. Director Suniga (online) asked whether boundary changes happen automatically; staff said EPA initiates redesignations and the board would receive plenty of notice and discussion if changes occurred.
Kristen Stevens, chair, moved to adopt the revised 10‑year plan; the motion was seconded and the chair recorded the motion passed (vote recorded in the transcript as 5 to 0). The adopted plan updates the enterprise’s planning assumptions and fee forecasts but does not itself set a final budget; staff described the document as a planning tool that will be updated as projects and funding evolve.
The board directed staff to incorporate any edits raised at the meeting, post the updated plan online and notify board members of the final posted version. The meeting adjourned at 12:37 and the board then proceeded to a scheduled site tour of the downtown transit center and a proposed Front Range passenger rail site.
