Title: RECOGNITION OF 2018 DROP SAVERS WATER CONSERVATION POSTER CONTEST WINNERS Summary: In celebration of the Florida American Water Works Association Annual Drop Savers posters contest, Toho Water Authority sponsored a water conservation poster contest earlier this year in the local schools. The contest encouraged students to create a poster depicting a water conservation idea, in slogan form, drawing form, or both. The contest allowed students to promote water awareness and the importance of water conservation in their daily routines. Thirteen students from participating schools were selected for our yearly Water Conservation calendar. Students will be presented with a gift card and certificate. Students will also receive a calendar that contains their artwork. The students and their parents have been invited to attend the Board meeting. Sunrise Elementary will receive a $500 gift card to purchase art supplies for having the student that was voted the grand prize winner for their art work. The grand prize winner scored the highest marks overall in aesthetic appeal and conservation idea/slogan. Flora Ridge Elementary School will also receive a $250 gift card to purchase art supplies for having the most contest entries. Total Costs: Click here to enter text.

Supervisor Lambert expressed his opinion that the Board action related to the resignation of the General Counsel should have occurred at a meeting in which the full Board was present and the subject was included in the agenda notice because of the importance of the action to give each Board member the opportunity to contribute to and participate in the decision process. The Board engaged in an extended discussion about Supervisor Lambert’s concerns and whether the Board should have delayed action until the full Board was present.

  • RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents
    2015 FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN - 2018 UPDATE The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Freight and Multimodal Operations Office (FMO) present this 2018 update of the 2015 Florida Rail System Plan. As new challenges have had a great impact on the needs and future projects identified in the 2015 Rail System Plan, FDOT prepared this update. CHALLENGES • New State Rail Plan Guidance was created in 2013 to set a standard format and elaborate on required elements of the plan to include a 5-year update cycle, and a requirement for states seeking capital grants under Sections 301, 302, and 501. See https://www.fra.dot.gov/Page/P0511. Thereafter, FDOT prepared a 2015 Rail System Plan that was completed in December 2015. The Plan was not published at that time, as major industry changes were expected and no public outreach had yet been conducted. • Major industry changes occurred that impacted most of the rail mileage in Florida: o CSX hired Hunter Harrison in spring of 2017, and radically changed the company by imposing precision-scheduled railroading instead of a hub-and-spoke system. This approach has been continued by CSX leadership through 2018. o Grupo México Transportes (GMXT), the leading rail freight transportation company in Mexico, successfully completed the acquisition of Florida East Coast Railway in 2017. o Brightline began service in 2018 between West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami later in the year, and with plans to connect to Orlando and potentially to Tampa in the future. APPROACH • The FAST Act (Title 49, Section 22702) passage in December 2015 changed the 5-year update cycle to a 4-year update cycle.

Here 4-6-2 Pacific #6423 leads train No. 220 north and east from Little Rock to Memphis. Due in Memphis at 7:00 PM the locomo- tive and the first two (2) dead-heading chair cars will start their return trip to Little Rock. The T&P cars are non-air conditioned cars and it will be a hot miserable trip. Departing Memphis at 8:30 PM the three (3) pieces of equipment previously mentioned will com- plete their quick 300 mile journey to Memphis and back. The two (2) T&P cars will continue south from Little Rock on train No. 31, the last remaining segment of the railroads famous Sunshine Special which is now superseded by the Texas Eagles.

  • Federal Railroad Administration Announces More Than $326 Million in Grants to Support Railroad Infrastructure
    U.S Department of Transportation Office of Public Affairs 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 www.transportation.gov/briefingroom News FRA 06-19 June 12, 2019 Contact: FRA Public Affairs Tel.: (202) 493-6024 [email protected] Federal Railroad Administration Announces More Than $326 Million in Grants to Support Railroad Infrastructure WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) today announced the recipients of more than $326 million in grant funds under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Program and the Special Transportation Circumstances Program, for a wide variety of state and local railroad infrastructure projects. The grants will fund 45 projects in 29 states. “These investments in intercity passenger and freight rail will benefit surrounding communities, make grade crossings safer and improve service reliability,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act authorized the CRISI Program, which funds a wide range of projects that improve the safety, efficiency and reliability of intercity passenger and freight rail systems. Over one-third of the funds — more than $118 million — were awarded to rural projects. “These are the partnerships that help rural and urban communities thrive economically,” said FRA Administrator Ronald Batory. “The participation of multiple partners demonstrates the importance of these funds and tells us they will be a key asset in improving safety for communities and railroads around the country.” As part of the $326 million announced today, FRA is announcing more than $2 million in Special Transportation Circumstances grant funds to the state of Alaska.
