Unified Planning Work Program FY 2020
Shelby Powell, MPO Staff
Body
The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is the annual work plan and budget for the MPO that outlines the programs, processes and tasks to be completed by MPO staff during the year. In addition to the annual delivery of programs such as LAPP, the TIP, the Public Participation Plan, and Wake Transit, there are several special studies included in the draft UPWP for FY 20. These include the continuation of the R.E.D. Lane Study that started in FY 19; beginning the update of the Northeast Area Study; a Triangle Bikeway Implementation Plan; a Fayetteville-Raleigh Passenger Rail Study; and Wake Transit-specific projects for developing better online visualization for Wake Transit implementation projects for the website, and beginning the update to the Wake Transit Vision Plan.
The UPWP for FY 20 was available for public review and comment from Jan. 3 - Feb. 7, 2019. A public hearing will be held at the MPO Executive Board meeting on February 20, 2018. To date, no public comments have been received on the draft UPWP.
In 2015, the Executive Board implemented a $100,000 cap on indirect expenses for the MPO to pay the City of Raleigh for expenses associated with acting as Lead Planning Agency for the MPO. CAMPO Staff has a conservative estimate of those costs being up to $185,000 during FY 20, with a cost allocation done by full time employee position. MPO Staff recommends a waiver of the cap to accommodate the anticipated FY 20 indirect costs. The MPO Staff is working on an indirect cost policy that will allow for the MPO to uniformly address indirect cost increases in future years.
Requested Action: Action Conduct a Public Hearing. Waive the $100,000 cap on indirect expenses to allow CAMPO to pay up to $185,000 in FY 20 to City of Raleigh for indirect expenses associated with acting as Lead Planning Agency for the MPO, and adopt the FY 20 Unified Planning Work Program, and Certify the MPO...
