Title
Draft Local Input Points Methodology (15 minutes)
Aaron Cain, LPA Staff
Narrative
The Local Input Points Methodology (see attached) is the document that guides how staff will develop an initial ranking of projects that were submitted by DCHC to SPOT 5.0 for assignment of local input points. The DCHC MPO Board released the Draft Local Input Points Methodology for public review at its January 10, 2018 meeting. To date, no public comments were received. At the January 10, 2018 MPO Board meeting, the Board was also able to review and provide comment on the Draft Local Input Points Methodology. Per NCDOT guidelines and the DCHC MPO Public Involvement Policy (PIP), the DCHC MPO Board must hold a public hearing before adopting the Local Input Points Methodology.
The Local Input Points Methodology must be adopted by the MPO Board and approved by NCDOT prior to April 1, 2018. In order to meet that deadline, LPA staff will follow this schedule:
February 14, 2018 - MPO Board adopts Methodology; LPA staff forward Methodology to NCDOT for review
February 21, 2018 - NCDOT provides comment to DCHC MPO, if necessary
February 28, 2018 - TC reviews NCDOT comments and revises Methodology, if necessary
March 14, 2018 - MPO Board adopts revised Methodology, if necessary
Therefore, should there be substantive comment from NCDOT after their review, the MPO Board will be asked to adopt a revised version at the March 14, 2018 meeting.
Recommendation
TC Action: Recommended that the MPO Board hold a public hearing and adopt the Local Input Points Methodology.
Board Action
Board Action: Hold a public hearing and, based on public comment, adopt the Local Input Points Methodology.
