no material weaknesses. She also reported that there were two uncorrected misstatements; however, the auditors do not consider them material weaknesses, and have since been fixed.
Mr. Jonson reported that the Finance Committee spent considerable time reviewing the report, but did not vote on this item due to a lack of quorum. Mr. Jonson made a motion, seconded by Mr. Eggers to approve the FY 2016 audit report. There were no public comments. Motion passed unanimously.
Clearwater Beach Transit Center Interlocal Agreement – Heather Sobush, Planning Manager, gave a presentation on the transit center in Clearwater. Ms. Sobush described the transit center, stating that it will be designed for three buses or trolleys with a shade canopy and pedestrian access to a parking lot.

In response to Chairperson Rice’s call for public comment, John Estok, Safety Harbor resident, said he likes the idea but is against the location. He does not believe this is a convenient location and suggested an alternate site on Gulfview Boulevard.
Mr. Jonson said that since there was no quorum at the Finance Committee meeting, no vote was taken. However, he said the Committee members spoke in favor of this project.

______Chairperson
10 April 26, 2017
The Honorable Mario Diaz‐Balart, Chairman Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing & Urban Development 440 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Mr. Chairman,
Thank you for recently meeting with representatives of our Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) Board of Directors and CEO, Brad Miller in Washington, D.C. Commissioners Janet Long and Pat Gerard were excited to outline for you our plans in Pinellas County for the Tampa Bay’s first federally‐funded Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line in St. Petersburg. We appreciated your focus on advancing the FY2017 Federal Transportation Appropriations now, and we write to you in support of a strong FY2018 Transportation Appropriations Bill that fully funds the discretionary transit programs authorized by the 2015 Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST) authorized levels.
We specifically ask you to support full funding for the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA’s) Capital Investment and TIGER grant programs as these federal investments are critical to supporting existing state and local funding in our own BRT project. The Central Avenue BRT will generate jobs and support our already booming tourism economy in a sustainable way that allows tourists and workers to access our world‐famous beaches while reducing traffic congestion.
In built‐out Pinellas County, smart, expanded transportation infrastructure like this project is needed to generate the jobs and keep our community moving in the future. We join other Florida communities, Jacksonville, Orlando, and those in your region, South Florida, who also have important transit investments at risk of losing their Federal Capital Investment Grant funding if the FAST Act is not fully funded at authorized levels.
As local officials, we support federal transportation investments that complement our state and local support to make our community move forward. As you develop the FY2018 transportation budget, we ask that you consider increasing Capital Investment Grant and TIGER funding or at a minimum fully fund these programs at their authorized levels.
11 Sincerely,
______The Honorable Darden Rice, PSTA Chair The Honorable Janet Long, PSTA Vice‐ Chair, St. Petersburg City Council Chair, Pinellas County Commissioner

12 CONSENT AGENDA
2017 Mobility Enhancement Grant Program Application Resolution
Action: Approve a Resolution Authorizing the Filing and Execution of a Transportation Disadvantaged Mobility Enhancement Grant Application with the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged.
Staff Resource: Chris Cochran, Senior Planner Pam Reitz, Manager of Contracts and Grants
Background: Last year, PSTA was awarded a Mobility Enhancement Grant (MEG) to implement and operate the Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Late Shift Program which provides TD bus riders on-demand door-to-door service for work trips that occur outside fixed route bus service hours. The MEG grant also included funds to provide on-demand same-day trips to bus riders who need a daytime door-to-door trip for a life-sustaining need that cannot be pre-scheduled or satisfied by the fixed route system. The program has been extremely successful, with more than 17,000 rides provided since July 2016. Participants surveyed on the program have told staff that they have experienced increased economic opportunity (new jobs, more shifts, etc.) and that they now have a safer, quicker option than trying to walk or ride a bike long distances late at night. Summary: The Commission for TD (CTD) recently issued a call for applications for funding for FY 2018. PSTA staff has developed a grant application that will allow PSTA to continue and expand the TD Late Shift and Urgent TD Program requesting $564,000, with 90% to be funded with state funds and 10% from local match from general revenue and program farebox. Fiscal Impact: FY 2018 MEG Funding to continue offering TD Late Shift and urgent TD Programs. Recommendation: Approve a resolution authorizing the filing and execution of a TD Mobility Enhancement Grant Application with the Florida CTD. 13 RESOLUTION #17‐02
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE PINELLAS SUNCOAST TRANSIT AUTHORITY AUTHORIZING THE FILING AND EXECUTION OF A TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED MOBILITY ENHANCEMENT GRANT APPLICATION WITH THE FLORIDA COMMISSION FOR THE TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED
WHEREAS, PSTAʹs Board of Directors has the authority to file and execute the Transportation Disadvantaged Mobility Enhancement grant application and to undertake a Transportation Disadvantaged service project, as authorized by Section 427.0159, Florida Statutes, and Rule 41‐2, F.A.C.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY PSTAʹS BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT:
1. That PSTA has the authority to file and execute the Transportation Disadvantaged Mobility Enhancement grant application; 2. Brad Miller, Chief Executive Officer, is authorized to file and execute the Mobility Enhancement grant agreement on behalf of the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority with the Florida Transportation Disadvantaged Commission for Transportation Disadvantaged; and 3.

Draft Budget Personnel Assumptions
Action: Information Item
Staff Resource: Michael Hanson, Director of Finance Patricia Collins, Staffing & Dev. Manager
Background: PSTA’s largest expense is personnel compensation and benefits. Personnel expenditures are made up of salaries and fringe benefits. The major components of fringe benefits are health insurance, pension, social security and workers’ compensation, with health and insurance and pension being the largest portion. This is the last year of the CIGNA health insurance contract. Fiscal Impact: The majority of employees are in the SEIU union and most of these employees are covered under a contract that has been negotiated within budget. The SEIU Supervisor contract is expiring September 30, 2017. Administrative Employee assumption is a 3.5% increase in FY 2018 consistent with the long range assumptions. Health Insurance is currently assumed to increase 10%. Recent high claims costs may result in a higher increase. Recommendation: No recommendation at this time. The DRAFT FY 2018 Budget will be based upon key assumptions in these areas as well as updated information to be presented with the first draft of the budget.

Regional Premium Transit Study Update
Action: Information
Staff Resource: Heather Sobush, Planning Manager
Background: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is funding a regional premium transit study which is being administered by the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) agency and conducted by Jacobs Engineering Group. The study, which began in January 2017, is evaluating the top five performing corridors to identify the three best projects to be included in an implementation plan. The implementation plan will include potential funding sources and identify which entity would build and maintain the first project. Extensive public outreach will be conducted during the study alongside the technical analysis. PSTA staff serves on a technical review committee with HART and Pasco County Public Transportation (PCPT) staff. Summary The first phase of the Regional Premium Transit Study is underway with an evaluation of how well different corridors connect the region’s major activity centers, including the University of South Florida (USF) area, downtown Tampa, the Westshore Area, the Gateway Area, downtown Clearwater, and downtown St. Petersburg. Public outreach through May will focus on these connections and will be followed by the identification of three priority projects by September. Staff will provide an update on the study.
