Approval of the May 20, 2009, Meeting Minutes The Transportation Policy Committee, by consent, approved the May 20, 2009, meeting minutes. 4B. Draft Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Arterial Life Cycle Program (ALCP) The Transportation Policy Committee, by consent, recommended approval of the Draft FY 2010 Arterial Life Cycle Program contingent on a new Finding of Conformity for the Regional Transportation Plan 2010 Update and FY 2010-2014 MAG Transportation Improvement Program, -2- which will be finalized in January 2010. The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) identifies 94 arterial street projects to receive funding from the regional sales tax extension and from MAG federal funds. The Arterial Life Cycle Program (ALCP) provides information for 93 of the original 94 projects spanning a 20-year life cycle. Information contained in the ALCP includes project location, regional funding, fiscal year (FY) of work, type of work, status of project and the lead agency. As part of the ALCP process, Lead Agencies update project information annually, at a minimum. MAG staff has programmed the Draft FY 2010 ALCP based on the information provided by Lead Agencies and from projected revenue streams from the Regional Area Road Fund (RARF), MAG Surface Transportation Program funds (STP-MAG), and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds. The Transportation Review Committee and the Management Committee recommended approval of the Draft FY 2010 Arterial Life Cycle Program. 4C. Project Changes – Amendment and Administrative Modification to the FY 2008-2012 MAG Transportation Improvement Program The Transportation Policy Committee, by consent, recommended approval of amendments and administrative modifications to the FY 2008-2012 Transportation Improvement Program, and as appropriate, to the Regional Transportation Plan 2007 Update, as shown in the attached tables. The fiscal year (FY) 2008-2012 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Regional Transportation Plan 2007 Update were approved by the MAG Regional Council on July 25, 2007. Since that time, there have been requests from member agencies to modify projects in the programs. The majority of the requested changes are related to modifying transit projects and the costs related to 2009. These modifications are needed to match the transit grant applications. The other requested project changes involve adding three new federal-aid Safe Routes to School projects, modifying costs for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funded projects, modifying the project schedule for ADOT led projects, including projects related to the federal FY 2009 Closeout, and doing the technical amendment to add the Phoenix Sky Train project into the TIP. These requests were recommended for approval by the Transportation Review Committee and the Management Committee. 5. Update on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Portion, MAG Sub-Allocation, Transportation Enhancement Portion, and MAG Region Transit Funds Eileen Yazzie, MAG Transportation Program Manager, noted that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Project Status report was at each place. She described the report as containing six subsections, and includes basic project information, project status, project costs and historical actions. Ms. Yazzie noted that the highway projects are moving forward rapidly and due to recent project bids that have come in below budget, two additional projects on the list have been funded, bringing the total number of projects to from five to seven. Ms. Yazzie stated that all transit projects have been forwarded by the City of Phoenix, as the grant recipient, to the Federal Transit Administration, where the majority of the projects have been approved. -3- Ms. Yazzie stated that the local governments section has not been filled in completely, due to the early stage of project development. She said that all ARRA funded projects are in the TIP and are moving forward, and staff heard that ADOT expects more bids to come in under budget, which could allow funding of more projects. Vice Chair Rogers thanked Ms. Yazzie for her report. No questions from the Committee were noted. 6. Regional Freeway and Highway Program: Proposition 400 Update Eric Anderson, MAG Transportation Director, began the presentation by reporting that there has been a recent rumor that the Loop 303/I-10 interchange was going to be delayed. He advised that this is untrue, and as a matter of fact, they are doing everything they can to keep the project on schedule. Mr. Anderson noted that at last month’s meeting the TPC discussed the interchange’s current cost estimate of $760 million, which is significantly more than the funds available. He stated that staff met with ADOT and FHWA about possible concepts to reduce costs for this structure, including value engineering and analysis. Mr. Anderson continued that ADOT has assembled the final design team and this is an opportune time to look at the interchange, and advised that there is no recommendation to delay the project. Mr. Anderson reported that the May 2009 revenue decreased 18.2 percent from May 2008, which makes seven straight months of negative growth. He advised that April 2008 revenue decreased 17 percent from April 2008, which demonstrates that revenue collection is growing more negative day by day. Mr. Anderson commented that the bottom of the downturn has not been found and staff will continue to monitor the situation. Councilmember Aames asked for clarification of year to date revenue. Mr. Anderson noted that year to date revenue is down 13.2 percent, and explained that this could mean this year’s total revenue could be down $40 million to $50 million from last year’s total of $380 million. He commented that this picture of sales tax revenue is unprecedented and has never decreased in this manner since these records began being tracked in the 1960s. Mr. Anderson stated that the Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) continues to experience negative growth, due to the decrease in fuel use and vehicle miles traveled. He stated that activities by the TPC today would focus on concepts to rebalance the program. Mr. Anderson stated that Bob Hazlett, MAG Senior Engineer, would present the options on a corridor by corridor basis and TPC members were encouraged to ask questions and express concerns. He said that they hope to arrive at preliminary recommendations tonight in order to share them at the public hearing on the overall program the next day. Mr. Anderson stated that the goal is to have the 2010 Update of the RTP before the TPC in September for review and possible action to recommend conducting a conformity analysis.

  • The Potentially Bright Future of Radio: an Analysis of Interviews From
    Running head: THE POTENTIALLY BRIGHT FUTURE OF RADIO The Potentially Bright Future of Radio: An Analysis of Interviews from Radio Professionals Regarding Radio's Past, Present and Future A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication May 2014 By Shawn L. Denevan Thesis Committee: Dr. Arthur Challis, Ed.D, Chair Dr. L. Paul Husselbee, Ph.D Dr. Matthew H. Barton, Ph.D ` THE POTENTIALLY BRIGHT FUTURE OF RADIO ii The Potentially Bright Future of Radio: An Analysis of Interviews from Radio Professionals Regarding Radio's Past, Present and Future Shawn Lee Denevan Dr. Arthur Challis, Thesis Supervisor Abstract Speculation regarding the viability of radio's future presents itself whenever a new audio medium is put forward as a possible competitor to radio. From TV, FM radio, CDs, cassettes, Satellite radio and now Internet radio, AM/FM terrestrial radio has been predicted to "die" at the hand of these competitors numerous times since radio's inception. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 changed the way radio operated as a business. Technology has changed the way radio stations program content. The Internet has provided new audio competition for radio. This study examines the role of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, changes in content and programming, and technology that continues to affect the way radio is perceived as a business and as a medium. An analysis of interviews from radio professionals—whose careers in the radio business may span from before the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to the present, and who have the insight and knowledge to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of radio's past and present—suggests that radio has a bright future if radio can return, in portion, to its past programming ideals of being live, local, and relevant to the communities it serves.
