MPO approves annual reports, Title VI update and authorizes chair to sign certification forms
Summary
At its April 20 meeting, the Martin County MPO unanimously approved the public‑involvement annual report and a Title VI/non‑discrimination plan update, and authorized the chair (or designee) to execute FDOT/MPO joint certification forms required for federal and state audits.
The Martin County MPO on April 20 approved routine governance items including the public‑involvement annual report and a minor update to the Title VI and non‑discrimination policy, and authorized the chair (or designee) to sign FDOT/MPO joint certification forms related to federal/state audits and use of planning funds.
Ricardo Vasquez summarized the annual report’s six objectives (regular advisory‑committee engagement, equitable access to information, early public engagement, varied engagement methods, coordination with Martin County public transit projects, and continuous improvement) and said associated strategies were met during the reporting period. Bolivar Gomez presented minor Title VI updates to reflect 2024 American Community Survey five‑year estimates and an updated Title VI training log; FDOT staff who oversee Title VI had no additional language to add.
Staff requested and the board granted unanimous approval of both documents and authorized the MPO chair to execute state certification forms that will be included with the final UPWP and the federal audit certification packet. The items were presented as informational and procedural; no substantive policy changes were made at the meeting.
