Goods Movement Committee September 1, 2015 Meeting Summary

Members/Alternates Present‐Representing Randy Rowson, CDM Smith Janet McRae, Miami County, Kansas Co‐Chair Jeff Schwartz, MCC Lindsey Douglas, Union Pacific Marisela Ward, MoDOT Michael Duffy, Riverside Dale Watkins, OOIDA Karen Gilbertson, FHWA Allan Zafft, CDM Smith Richard Grenville, PortKC MARC Staff Present Chris Gutierrez, SmartPort Darryl Fields, Senior Planner Greg Heisman, FlexSteel Jermain Whitmore, Program Assistant Jen Johnson, Hg Consult

1) Introductions and Approval of Meeting Summary Janet McRae called the meeting to order and welcomed all attendees. Introductions followed, and the minutes were approved.

2) Overview of MCC’s Supply Chain/Logistic Studies Jeff Schwartz proceeded to give an overview of the training programs under MCC’s Supply Chain/Logistic Studies. The professional truck driving program started 5-6 years ago, and until recently, training 6-10 students a year. Additionally, Swift has a driving academy co-located at MCC, but is an independent truck driving school not part of MCC. As part of location/facility arrangement, Swift provides MCC with 5 fully- functioning, fully-maintained trucks for its program this has allowed MCC to restructure its enrollment strategies. MCC has switched to a rolling enrollment strategy; meaning, MCC no longer cancels or postpones a class if there are not enough enrollees. Therefore, if the program receive as little as 4 students classes proceed. Classes are one day a week and each class is a stand-alone, so no matter when a student comes into the program, they will cycle through all class trainings; and tied to a single instructor through the length of the program.

JCCC also has CDL program that runs on weekends, using MCC services to support their classes. Chris Gutierrez asked if drivers get hired, and if MCC is connecting them to companies. Mr. Schwartz replied that recruiters contact them constantly and want to come in, which they had to limit in order to preserve the educational value of the program. In order to ensure each student comes away successful, there are two types of classes, a Type-A & Type-B. Type-A deals with the combination vehicles (large trucks), such as the tractor trailer, while Type-B deals with straight trucks and/or box trucks (small trucks). Those who have a tough time with the Type-A class and state tests can still proceed through the Type-B.

Yesterday, the State Highway Patrol came out to stripe MCC’s parking lot in order to conduct CDL testing. This is the 1st off-site location to do the testing. MCC will not do the testing. The State actually will conduct the test one day a week at MCC.

The Warehousing Program has a warehousing lab with racks and two forklifts. The lab is tied into a barcode system and is designed to teach students how to properly handle warehousing equipment. The

barcode system allows MCC to instruct students by customizing scenarios to simulate real world warehousing events. Students come out with OSHA Certification on the forklift, which takes approximately 2 weeks, and better understanding of the whole process. The professional truck driving takes about 6 weeks to complete, that also deals with soft skills needed to not only obtain the job but also maintain their employment. Mr. Gutierrez inquired how many students come through the programs at a time, and Mr. Schwartz answered about 8-10 students. Darryl Fields questioned how MCC teaches them about drug tests, and Mr. Schwartz responded that before they are accepted into MCC’s program, it is required that they have a DOT card, a clean drug test and driving record.

Numerous years MCC had for credit classes in its associates program in Logistics, Operations Management, Warehouse and Distribution Management, and Carrier Management that constituted a certificate in Supply Chain. This program was pulled a couple of years ago but it is now being refreshed. The new Logistics classes will start this semester and will have two classes per semester for those needing the training. For now, classes will be conducted on-site; although, depending on its success, there could soon be classes available online.

In addition to the Supply Chain training classes are Welding, Machine, Electrician, SYSCO Networking, etc., which is thanks in part to BNSF being one of their biggest clients. BNSF sends most of their employees to MCC for continued up-to-date training for their respective job positions/skills. Mr. Gutierrez questioned if companies sending their employees drive classes, like the Welding program, or is MCC recruiting for those areas as well. Mr. Schwartz remarked that MCC does open enrollment, as well as contract training for those programs. Mr. Fields asked if MCC does flatbed and tanker training, and Mr. Schwartz commented that they do have Load Securement training as part of the CDL program, but there are no tank truck training. Mr. Fields then enquired how enrollment is going, and Mr. Schwartz reported that MCC’s overall enrollment is down about 5%.

Janet McRae inquired where do the instructors come from, what are their skillsets, and how are they keeping up with industry trends. Mr. Schwartz answered that the CDL instructors are either active or retired drivers, and there are total of 15-16 instructors currently. He is still identifying quality instructors for courses.

3) Complete Street Policy Workgroup Darryl Fields informed the committee that the Complete Street Policy is in the process of being updated, and there will be a workshop coming up consisting of members from each modal committee. He request if someone from the Committee wished to participate. A questioned was asked, “What is the time commitment. Mr. Fields responded the work group would probably meet 3 times from October through December and provide recommendations to TTP in January. Mr. Fields informed the Committee that he would give them time to think about it and would give individuals a call to see if there was an interest.

4) Other Goods Movement related issues KC Port – the Port is operational once again and had its 1st barge since 2007. KDOT is working and completing its Trucking Parking (HNTB) and Transload (HDR) Studies. The Trucking Parking Study is looking at solutions to enhance and support better trucking parking on KS roadways. Study finding will be presented to the Statewide Truck Parking Advisory Committee.

The Transload Study received numerous locations to review Garden City and Great Bend were selected. The selected locations will provide business/development plans and financial models for review and evaluation by KDOT to determine the level of availably funding to aid in development of the transload sites.

There was no further business, the meeting was adjourned, and the next scheduled meeting Nov 3, 2015.

Agenda 2: Annual Policy Review

Conflict of Interest and Whistle Blower

MARC strives to operate in an open and transparent way that demonstrates that the organization is an effective steward of public resources. The MARC Board of Directors approved the Conflict of Interest and Whistleblower policies, to provide guidance to the participants in MARC committees regarding conflicts of interest and actions to take in those circumstances, and on processes to report any wrongdoing in the administration of MARC’s work.

Members of the MARC Board of Directors and the committees that support the Board are expected to review the policies annually. The policies are intended to supplement, but not replace, any state or federal laws that govern conflicts of interest in public, non-profit, and charitable organizations and that govern the reporting of wrongdoing.

Mid-America Regional Council Conflict of Interest Policy Governing all Boards, Commissions, Committees and Subcommittees

The Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) is dedicated to building a stronger metropolitan region by promoting regional cooperation and developing innovative solutions to regional challenges. MARC strives to operate in an open and transparent way that inspires confidence that the organization is an effective steward of public resources. The purpose of this conflict of interest policy is to ensure that participants on the MARC board and committees have clear guidance when a participant in any MARC decision-making process could have a conflict of interest and what the appropriate action would be in those circumstances.

It is in the best interest of the MARC Board of Directors, Mid-America Head Start and all other boards, commissions, committees and subcommittees to be aware of and properly manage all conflicts of interest and any appearances of conflicts of interest. This conflict of interest policy is designed to help directors, officers, employees and volunteers identify conflicts of interest and disclose them to the appropriate authority. It is also designed to provide a procedure to appropriately manage conflicts in accordance with legal requirements and the goals of accountability and transparency in all MARC operations.

The MARC Board, and boards that work through MARC such as the Mid-America Solid Waste Management District, make decisions in a number of program areas that impact the availability of federal, state and local government funds and private contributions. This conflict of interest policy is intended to support those decision-making processes.

This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any state or federal laws that govern conflicts of interest in public, non-profit, and charitable organizations.

1. Interested Person

Any member of a MARC board, commission, committee or subcommittee charged with decision-making or making recommendations for funding, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person.

2. Financial Interest Defined

A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family: a. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which MARC has a transaction or other financial arrangement, b. A compensation arrangement with MARC or with any entity or individual with which MARC has a transaction or arrangement, or c. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which MARC is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.

Conflict of Interest Policy – Updated September 2013 For purposes of this policy, “family members” includes spouses, parents, children, and siblings (including those related by marriage), as well as significant others and any other person who resides with the committee/board member.

3. Procedure

In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the conflict of interest to members of the committee considering the proposed action or recommendation.

A person who has a conflict of interest in a certain matter shall not participate in the discussion of that matter except to disclose material facts and to respond to questions. Such person shall not attempt to exert his or her personal influence with respect to the matter, either at or outside the meeting.

The interested person shall abstain from any votes on funding recommendations, contracts or transactions in which there is an interest as defined above, and shall abstain from any votes for all meeting minutes or other records of the meeting.

4. Gifts, Gratuities and Entertainment

MARC committee members and directors shall avoid accepting, directly or indirectly, any rebate, gift, money or anything of monetary value from an organization or vendor that could benefit from a MARC committee action regarding funding recommendations, vendor selection or other transactions. From time to time, vendors may pay for meals apart from a bid process.

5. Committee Representation

MARC makes decisions on federal and state funding that benefits local communities within the Kansas City region. The MARC Board and many of its committees are composed of local officials representing the communities that may benefit from MARC Board decisions. It is not a conflict of interest for a board member or a committee member, who are also elected officials or local government staff members, to advocate for or vote on issues that will affect their jurisdiction. If an elected official serves on another public board by virtue of their elected office, it is not a conflict of interest for that elected official to participate in discussions and vote on matters affecting that other public body.

In the past, smaller communities have been represented at times by consulting engineers on committees which rely on both technical and community considerations to make funding recommendations. Private consultants or other private parties shall abstain from any discussion or vote on all matters before the committee that pose a conflict of interest, either in terms of a relationship between the project applicant and the private consultant. The private consultant or party should limit any participation in discussion to answering questions asked by other committee members. Individual committees may adopt specific procedural requirements for participation by members and others present at meetings.

Conflict of Interest Policy – Updated September 2013 6. Disclosure, Notification, and Review Policy

Each director, officer, and committee member shall disclose any relationships, positions or circumstances in which he or she is involved that he or she believes could contribute to a conflict of interest when and if such situations arise.

If a board member or committee member is unsure as to whether or not a conflict of interest exists, it is their responsibility to consult a MARC staff member associated with that committee to make a determination. If after such consultation, the individual is still unsure, then a determination will be made by the executive director of MARC.

If the board of directors, the Head Start Policy Council or other commission or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, that body shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.

This policy shall be distributed annually to all decision-making bodies associated with the Mid-America Regional Council, including but not limited to the Mid-America Head Start, for their review.

Adopted by the MARC Board of Directors, August 25, 2009 (Updated September 26, 2013)

Conflict of Interest Policy – Updated September 2013 Mid-America Regional Council Whistleblower Policy

Policy Objective: MARC is committed to lawful and ethical behavior in all of its activities and requires all staff to act in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies and to observe high standards of business and personal ethics in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities.

This policy is intended to: • Encourage employees to bring ethical or legal violations to the attention of an internal or external authority so that action can be taken to resolve the problem. • Establish guidance and procedures for staff (paid and volunteer) or others to report illegal, unethical or inappropriate behaviors or practices, in good faith, without fear of retribution. • To provide a constructive process for employees to report issues of concern. • Emphasize the importance of adherence to MARC’s standards of conduct.

Overview: A whistleblower is a person (often an employee) who raises a concern about serious wrongdoing occurring in an organization. Examples of misconduct that might lead to whistleblowing include the violation of laws, rules or regulations; fraud, mismanagement or corruption; or direct threats to the public interest, such as health or safety violations.

In general, whistleblowing refers to reporting misconduct outside the normal chain of command. Most workplace issues are, and to the extent possible, should be resolved by working with direct supervisors and department directors as described in the Issues Resolution policy. However, if an employee, acting in good faith, has reasonable grounds for believing that serious wrongdoing is taking place that has not been addressed or cannot be addressed through normal channels, he or she has the option of “whistleblowing” without fear of retribution.

Examples of the types of situations a whistleblower might report may include, but are not limited, to the following: • A violation of law. • Questionable accounting or monitoring practices. • Discrimination based on protected classes. • Fraud, waste or mismanagement.

Examples of problems that can be addressed through normal issues resolution procedures may include, but are not limited, to the following: • Disagreements or misunderstandings between employees. • Issues related to employment or working conditions. • Personality conflicts. • Working relationships between employees or employees and supervisors.

See the Issues Resolution policy for more information. Reporting Procedures Employees may report misconduct, without fear of retribution, through the following procedures: • For internal employee relations issues, seek assistance from supervisors, department directors or Human Resources staff as described in the Issues Resolution policy. • For issues related to harassment, immediately report to a supervisor, department director, executive director or Human Resources as described in the Harassment-Free workplace policy. • For all other issues related to suspected fraud, theft, harassment or other illegal activity, contact a supervisor, department director, executive director or call the “WeTip” hotline at 1-800-782-7463 or go online to www.wetip.com. • For issues related to suspected mismanagement or waste of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, call 1-877-392-3375 or go online to www.recovery.gov. After the Report: Response procedures for whistleblower reports will vary according to how the report was made. • Reports related to ARRA funding will be addressed by the U.S. Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board. • Reports to the “WeTip” hotline are forwarded to designated members of MARC’s management team (i.e., the Executive Director, Finance and Administration Department Director, Human Resources Manager, and MARC Board Chair) for review and resolution.

All reports will be acknowledged promptly and handled with due care and diligence. Those who receive the reports have the full authority to investigate all concerns raised, and may use other resources such as legal counsel, accountants, private investigators or others as reasonably necessary to conduct a full and complete investigation. Reports and concerns will be kept confidential to the extent possible.

If a report is found to be of merit or is substantiated, MARC management will take appropriate steps and will adhere to the federal rules for that grant, if applicable. No employee who, in good faith, makes a whistleblowing report will be threatened, discriminated against or otherwise subject to any retaliation or adverse employment consequences. Any staff member who attempts to retaliate against someone who reported a concern in good faith may be subject to discipline.

Allegations that prove to have been made maliciously, recklessly, with gross negligence, or with the foreknowledge that the allegations are false, will be viewed as a serious offense and may result in disciplinary action against the reporting employee.

Any situation involving an issue relating to harassment should be reported immediately to the employee’s supervisor, department director, executive director or Human Resources. Specific information relating to MARC’s policy regarding a harassment-free workplace can be found on the MARC intranet under Policies. Complaints of this nature are taken very seriously and will be fully investigated.

Agenda 3: Fixing America’s Surface Transportation “FAST” Act (Freight Program)

Fast Act Overview - Freight Program

Rule: Developed a freight and highway program that provides financial assistance for projects of national and regional significance:

Generally

• Creates a National Multimodal Freight Network (NMFN), which includes a National Highway Freight Network consisting of all Interstate Highways, an additional 41,000 primary freight network highway miles identified under MAP-21, and other State-identified highway segments. • Establishes a new National Highway Freight Program (NHFP) as part of the core Federal-aid Highway Program structure. This formula program is authorized at $6.2 billion over five years, and each State’s share of the NHFP will be based on the State’s overall share of highway program apportionments. In addition, flexibility of NHFP dollars within a State will be related to its share of miles on the Primary Highway Freight System. The FAST Act repeals the increased Federal match for freight projects on interstates and highways. • Requires all States using formula dollars to complete a State Freight Plan, either standalone or part of a State’s long-range transportation plan. The plans must be updated every 5 years. • Creates a Port Performance statistics program, requiring ports of certain thresholds to report annual throughput statistics. An advisory group will report to the Secretary annually on recommendations to improve port efficiency. • Creates the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects (NSFHP) discretionary grant program designed for major highway and freight projects funded at $4.5 billion over five years. • Though funded out of the HTF (Highway Trust Fund), certain non-highway projects are eligible to receive portions of the NHFP and NSFHP dollars.

Agenda 4: National Freight Strategic Plan

The National Freight Strategic Plan (NFSP) is the nation’s first freight strategic plan. The 143-page document identifies six key trends and challenges including expected growth in freight traffic; governance-related barriers to planning and implementing freight projects; safety and security problems related to the movement of freight; increased global economic competition; application and deployment of new technologies; and underinvestment in the nation’s freight system. The draft NFSP also outlines a number of strategies to address the three types of bottlenecks: infrastructure, institutional and financial.

This is the link to the Plan’s website with draft versions of a national multimodal freight network, including state by state maps - http://www.transportation.gov/freight.

Agenda 5: Freight Zone Activity Centers/Primary Freight Network

i. Develop a recommendation for changes to Intermodal Connectors on the NHS

Intermodal Connectors

Section 103(b), of title 23, U.S.C., allows States to propose modifications to the National Highway System (NHS) and authorizes the Secretary to approve such modifications provided that they meet the criteria established for the NHS and enhance the characteristics of the NHS. In proposing modifications States must cooperate with local and regional officials. In urbanized areas, the local officials must act through the metropolitan planning organization (MPO).

The term "intermodal" refers to a transfer of a shipment from one transportation mode to another as the shipment moves from origin to destination. Defining an intermodal connector requires some additional elaboration due to the varying nature on type and capacity of intermodal connectors.

NHS connectors must be public roads leading to major intermodal terminals and must have a critical bearing on the efficient operation of that facility. Intermodal terminals are facilities which provide for the transfer of freight or passengers from one mode to another.

The primary criteria for defining an intermodal connector are based on annual passenger or freight volumes or daily vehicular traffic on one or more of the principal routes which serve the facility. A secondary set of requirements include factors which underscore the importance of an intermodal facility within a specific state. The secondary criteria are specifically related to intermodal terminals that handle more than 20 percent of freight or passengers by mode within that state and also have significant highway interface. Intermodal terminals are anticipated to have been already identified by the state or MPO as a major facility and targeted for major investments to handle expanded traffic.

ii. Review/comment on existing zones and provide recommendation including New Century Airport or any other locations for inclusion.
