CAMPO: • Staff recently attended the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Meeting that was held on Monday, March 25, 2019. The following items were discussed at the meeting: i. Elections were held for the selection of a new TAC Chair and Vice-Chair. Mike Hodge from Burnet County (small cities representative) was selected as the chairman, while Julia Cleary of Bastrop County was selected as the vice-chair. ii. Air Quality status and potential impacts of non-attainment designation. If an area is designated non-attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) then that area, such as the CAMPO area will have to begin Air Quality Conformity. Basically, air quality conformity is going through a modeling process to show that projects using Federal transportation dollars are not contributing to or worsening the air quality issue. Conformity also establishes milestones or thresholds for when attainment will be reached. Conformity not only revolves around modeling there is also a new requirement of developing and maintaining a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) which is a 3-year implementation plan on how attainment will be reached and must be updated every 3 years. When added to all of the other federally required plans and documents for an MPO, it makes updating a never ending process. This is just what the impacts would be to the MPO. A non-attainment status also can have a direct economic impact to an area, in regards to attracting new businesses and developments and can have a negative impact on existing businesses as well. Page 4 of 57 2 iii. The City of Austin provided an update on their on-going project to designate of a Non-Radio Active Hazardous Material (NRHM) route or hazardous cargo route. The proposed plan would utilize SH-130. As part of the formal process for designating hazardous materials route, notice must be given to all jurisdictions within a 25 mile radius of the proposed route. As part of the notification process jurisdictions will be asked for comments on the proposed route. The current schedule for designation is as follows: June / July 2019 - notifications sent out to jurisdictions within 25 miles of the proposed route. August 2019 – review and approval by the Texas Transportation Committee. A copy of the draft route and supporting material is provided as “Attachment A”. One common question that comes up when developing and presenting a non- radioactive hazardous materials route is, “why not radio-active materials?” The transport of radio-active material and the routes that it is transported across is to remain confidential for matters of national security. iv. The next TAC meeting will be on April 22, 2019. The next Policy Advisory Committee meeting will be April 8, 2019 at 6:00pm TXDOT • Staff continues to work on the Advance Funding Agreements (AFA) with TxDOT for the Williams Drive intersection and access management improvements and for the Leander Road expansion from Southwest By-Pass to Norwood Drive. It is anticipated that both AFA’s will be brought before GTAB and City Council at the May meetings. Each AFA contains federal funding from CAMPO with $1.38 million for Williams Drive and $3.6 million for Leander Road. The total cost for Williams Drive corridor improvements is estimated at $2.154 million with a combination of City of Georgetown and TxDOT funding providing the additional funding. The total project cost for the Leander Road from SW By-Pass to Norwood Drive is estimated at $8.881 million with a combination of City of Georgetown and TxDOT providing the additional funding. Page 5 of 57 3 Funding breakdown within the draft AFAs are (numbers are still being reviewed): Project Total Cost $ Federal $ State $ Local $ Williams Corridor 2,154,650 1,380,000 107,000 667,650 Leander Road 8,881,566 3,600,000 1,731,566 3,550,000 • Mobility-35 Projects (my35.org): i. IH-35 and Leander Road (RM 2243) – TxDOT will be doing the schematics and construction. TxDOT is at 90% schematic. ii. IH-35 and SH-29 – design continues on this project. The amount of current and future traffic through this intersection coupled with the existing stop lights on the east and west sides of the current intersection are imposing design constraints for the project. A schematic will be presented to GTAB as soon as it is available. iii. IH-35 and Westinghouse (IH-35 from SE Inner Loop to FM 1431) – The proposed design of this project will be the opposite of its current configuration. The new configuration will have Westinghouse at-grade and IH-35 going over Westinghouse. An Open House was held on April 4, 2019 at George Washington Carver Elementary School from 5:30pm – 7:30pm. An FAQ from the Open House is provided as Attachment B. There was good attendance with about 52 residents attending to review the preliminary schematics and to watch the simulation model of the proposed intersection. iv. IH-35 and Williams Drive – TxDOT is anticipating an August 2020 “letting” with construction starting in late 2020 for the diverging diamond interchange. The projected completion time is mid-2023. The City has received all bids for the Northwest Blvd and IH-35 project. The apparent low bidder was CHASCO at about $8.2MM Transit – GoGeo The 1st and 2nd charts show the number of riders by route and by month of the year. In reviewing the two charts, there has been an increase in ridership for October thru January of FY 2019 in comparison to October thru January of FY 2018. The 3rd and 4th charts provide ridership numbers by month and fiscal year for both the Fixed Route system and the Paratransit service. The Fixed Route system in shown in blue while the Paratransit service is shown in green.

Hazardous materials are substances that the U.S. Secretary of Transportation has determined to be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety and property when transported in commerce. NRHM include the nine classes of hazardous material (excluding radioactive materials), which, when transported, require placarding to display the type of NRHM being carried. Purpose of the Study Currently, trucks transporting NRHM are allowed to use any road in Austin, except those with prior restrictions on truck traffic. The primary objective of this study is to designate a route or set of routes that direct the travel of trucks carrying NRHM through and within the City of Austin without unduly burdening commerce. This will: • Minimize the likelihood of an incident involving a motor vehicle carrying NRHM • Minimize the consequences of an NRHM trucking incident, should one occur • Maximize public safety related to the transport of NRHM Page 9 of 57 7 Analysis Factors When analyzing potential routes for NRHM travel, the study will consider: • Factors that affect the likelihood of an incident occurring: • Crash rates • Weight-bearing capabilities of the roadway • Traffic volume • Curvature and slope of roadway • Factors that affect the consequences, if an incident does occur: • Population and employment centers • Location of schools, hospitals, universities and other institutions • Location of households without a vehicle, people with mobility disabilities and elderly populations • Nearby aquifers, water bodies and other water sources • Parks, historic sites, landmarks and cultural areas • Emergency response times to potential incidents • Stakeholder and public feedback The study will also consider current commercial hazmat travel patterns and the location of NRHM facilities within the city. Draft Proposed Routes The draft proposed routes were developed through a process guided by the Federal Highway Administration publication titled Highway Routing of Hazardous Materials: Guidelines for Applying Criteria (November 1996), as well as feedback from local stakeholders and the public. The draft proposed routes include travel in either direction on the following roadways: • SH 130 from the northern extraterritorial jurisdiction boundary to SH 45 South • SH 45 South from the southeastern extraterritorial jurisdiction boundary to IH 35 • IH 35 from the southern extraterritorial jurisdiction boundary to SH 71/US 290 • SH 71 from the southwestern extraterritorial jurisdiction boundary to the eastern extraterritorial jurisdiction boundary • US 290 from the southwestern extraterritorial jurisdiction boundary to the northeastern extraterritorial jurisdiction boundary Page 10 of 57 8 Page 11 of 57 9 Page 12 of 57 10 ATTACHMENT B Page 13 of 57 City of Georgetown, Texas Transportation Advisory Board April 12, 2019 S UB J E C T: April 2019 G TAB Up d ates - Wesley Wright, P.E., S ystems Engineering Direc tor/Mic hael Hallmark, C I P Manager.

My name is Hugh C. Norris, Jr. My residence is 4400 Luna Trail, Georgetown, Texas. I am a member of the Airport Concerned Citizens (ACC). The ACC is a major community public interest stakeholder group demanding compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) demonstrated by the preparation process of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as appropriately amended for all major action federal and state taxpayer funded grants for the Georgetown Municipal Airport (GTU). Page 54 of 57 This is the 91st presentation by ACC members to the city council and GTAB since January 14, 2014. My comments this morning are generalized to address agenda item "E", Airport Monthly Report, for the purpose of reintroducing the ACC to board members of past experience and new ones recently appointed. It's always good to better know each other. On behalf of the ACC, we welcome the board's new board Chairman, Mr. Ron Bindas. Mr. Bindas is recognized for his many years experience in aviation as a pilot, active in aviation affairs and faithful years on this board. Other board members are recognized for their past services to this board, and to the community including Councilman John Hesser who has worked diligently to improve GTU fiscal and management operations and Mr. Doug Noble who serves as the GTAB member of the Steering Committee for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update. Our congratulations to Ms. Sheila Mills for her reappointment to the board. A special welcome is extended to our new board members, Mr. George Brown and Mr. Ercel Brashear. We look forward to working constructively with all members of this board. A quote from yesterday's newspaper horoscopes seems appropriate as we begin this new season with a new GTAB. "No one ever said that human dynamics are logical. It is possible to admire someone you don't agree with, to love someone you don't like, and be attracted to someone who's totally not your type. It's complicated!" The ACC is a group of over 100 households whose views represent larger numbers of city and county citizens near and surrounding the GTU sharing common social, economic, and environmental safety and health hazard concerns regarding the continuous expansion of GTU operations at its current location. That location is landlocked in the planned heart of our city, one of the fastest growing cities in nation, AND totally atop the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The FAA, the lead federal agency awarding federal taxpayer grants for expanding GTU operations, and TxDOT, the legislature assigned manager of FAA annual State Block Grant Program funds AND state taxpayer grants, both support the city's position that these hazards do not exist and this dangerous location is the very best of ALL possible locations. The ACC disagrees. Statements will be made in future board meetings focused on these issues. Valuing economic benefits of the GTU for the city, the ACC has NEVER advocated closure of the GTU, but supports and advocates its operations relocation to a safer, superior, managed and operated location for its FAA authorized duties as a Central Texas regional reliever airport. Envisioned is an airport authority as described by CH2MHill Engineers in the firm's 2013 GTU financial study. An airport authority modeled on the Ft. Worth Alliance Airport developed jointly by the City of Ft. Worth and Alliance Air Services of Ross Perot. An authority having runways of 8,000 to 10,000 LF or more, properly zoned to prevent airport hazards AND non- compatible land uses, created through a legislative act with no requirement to be in the city limits or the city's ETJ, but retaining city control, seamlessly receiving all GTU operations and contracted fixed base operators, and at no cost to existing Georgetown taxpayers. ACC advocates city funding of a professional due diligence feasibility study showing how such a relocated regional reliever site for GTU can, in fact, be done. More will be stated in future presentations. The ACC strongly advocates full open government transparency, ethics, and accountability on ALL city programs including correction of deficiencies in how the city interacts with the public regarding operations and land expansion of the GTU. The ACC believes well informed citizens will make correct decisions for our governments. Therefore, we strongly support the need for FAA to require a fully scoped EIS preparation Page 55 of 57 process for the city's proposed new $60 Million, 52 project PROGRAM of capital improvements for the GTU. Mr. Chairman, the ACC again demands GTAB require written staff responses and open public meetings on city projects and plans for expansions of the GTU as a function of this or related agenda item topics. AND, YES, human dynamics are complicated!
