A motion was made by Mayor Hunter to approve Resolution 2019-047. The motion was seconded by Mayor Annette Blackwell.

Councilman Miller asked if the Legislative Agenda includes a designation for rolling stock eligibility for TRAC funding. President McCall stated that the Legislative Agenda does not specifically state anything about rolling stock, but public transportation is highlighted in the document. Ms. Burtzlaff referred the Board to a two-sided sheet in the meeting packet titled “Initiatives for Action” that requests funding for public transit.

Mayor Summers asked if the “fix it first” message is included in the Legislative Agenda. President McCall said “fix it first” is part of NOACA’s policy and noted that several communities have the same policy. Mr. Picuri commented that “fix it first” is important to ODOT. Mr. Picuri announced that he would be abstaining from voting on the Legislative Agenda because of policy-related information in the document that has statewide ramifications.

The Board voted on Resolution 2019-047. Mr. Picuri abstained from voting. The motion passed by voice vote.

Resolution 2019-048: PNC Bank Depository Agreement and Collateralized Line of Credit

Ms. Geyer stated that the Executive Director will need to sign a depository agreement with PNC contingent upon an approved and acceptable LOC collateralized by local revenues and other charges. She noted that staff will work to transfer NOACA’s primary bank accounts to PNC Bank and oversee the execution of the loan agreement.

A motion was made by Engineer Jim Gills to approve Resolution 2019-048. The motion was seconded by Mayor Hunter. The motion passed by voice vote.

Ms. Merlone mentioned that Albeck Gerken, Inc. was chosen by the selection committee to do the work. Since the time of the selection, Albeck Gerken has been acquired by Iteris. Ms. Merlone stated that pending Board approval, NOACA will enter into a contract with Iteris, Inc. at an amount not to exceed $439,438 for Part I of the project that will commence on or around January 1, 2020 and will be completed by January 2021.

A motion was made by Mayor Blackwell to approve Resolution 2019-050. The motion was seconded by Mayor Hunter.

President McCall thanked the Sewer District for the grant. She said the project will enhance the real estate value of the NOACA building.

Councilman Miller asked how NOACA can enter into a contract without having the funding in place. Ms. Merlone stated that the contract is dependent on NOACA securing funding over the next two years. She noted that the $185,000 from the Sewer District will be used to start the first component of the project. Councilman Miller asked what other funding sources NOACA is looking to secure for the project. Ms. Merlone stated that NOACA is looking to secure another grant next year from the Sewer District as well as grants from private foundations and low interest rate loans.

3101b 1 - 5 President McCall asked if NOACA is doing the project in phases because all the funding has not been secured yet. Ms. Merlone said yes and noted that the contract states up to $900,000 would be awarded to the consultant dependents on NOACA securing the funding. Ms. Gallucci stated that once NOACA secures the funding, a recommendation will be presented to the Board for approval before executing the second and third phases of the project.

He said the current project scope and funding address the deficient pavement in Eastlake.

Mr. Lane mentioned that the Village of Lakeline maintains approximately .08 miles of Stevens Boulevard and the PCR for this segment is 63. Mr. Lane stated that in development of the 2018-2021 TIP, the Lakeline segment was inadvertently filtered out, but should be considered for funding. He noted that Eastlake has agreed to incorporate the segment into its design plans and its project agreement with ODOT. Mr. Lane said additional funding would increase NOACA’s commitment to the project by $176,000 and Lakeline has committed the local match of $44,000. The expansion would be funded through savings in the STBG program. Mr. Lane stated that pending Board approval of Resolution 2019-051, the TIP will be amended to incorporate the additional scope and funding for the project.
