4.1 Project Programming Status Sheets

Mr. Ferguson presented the program status sheets for active and deferred CMAQ and TAP-L funded projects.

4.2 Programming Summary and Obligation Goal

Mr. Ferguson presented the CMAQ programming summary and obligation goal for 2020. The region’s cumulative CMAQ obligations stand at approximately $6 million in the current year. Mr. Ferguson noted that this number is up from negative $10 million at the previous meeting, which was due to obligations that were reduced in FMIS by the FHWA.

In response to a question by Mr. Pitstick, Mr. Ferguson stated that the obligation goal for FFY 2020 had been set to the same amount as the programming mark for the year. Recognizing that last year the region exceeded our goal and that regional unobligated balance was taken down to zero, the region did not obligate funds from future years and total amount of the FFY 2020 mark was available.

Mr. Gross presented the 5 cost increase requests and 1 schedule change request which can be found in the project change request memo.

On a motion made by Mr. Rickert, and seconded by Mr. Schmidt, the requested project changes were approved.
