2President Painter asked Trustee Josh Gerth, Anderson Township to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

board roster, and that if any updates were needed, to please see OKI staff person Lorrie Platt.
ITEM #1 ADMINISTRATIVE
B. Approval of the January 13, 2022 Board of Director’s meeting minutes
President Painter requested approval of the January 13, 2022 Board of Director’s meeting minutes.
Treasurer Ken Reed moved that the minutes be approved as mailed. Judge Executive Gary Moore
seconded the motion; motion carried.
President Painter announced a request for an appointment to the ICC for board consideration. The
request was to add Mr. Matthew Hulme to represent the City of Cincinnati streetcar. Trustee Michael
Logue of Union Township moved to appoint Matthew Hulme to the ICC. Commissioner Rick Probst
seconded the motion; motion carried.
President Painter invited Judge Executive Gary Moore to the podium to share his feedback from the
National Association Regional Council’s annual policy conference. Attending on behalf of OKI, Judge
Moore shared that all hotels and restaurants in Washington D.C. are requiring guests to show their
vaccination ID card. He also noted that historically, the conference would typically have 200-250
attendees; this year, it had 100 attendees of which half were new attendees. He remarked it was
refreshing to see new persons engaged in local government.
Judge Executive Gary Moore said this year’s conference was a hybrid format (in-person and virtual
meetings). He added that there was a lot of discussion about the role of regions will play in the American
Rescue Plan and Infrastructure Plan. The number of programs at the local, regional, and state level is huge.
As many as 40 various funding codes/programs will be part of the rollout of the new Plan. Of that, 25 are
competitive grants that will have to be administered by FHWA and DOT, along with various other entities
within infrastructure funding. The Federal government estimates it will hire 4,000 employees to
administer these programs.
Moore noted that it will be many months for the roll-out for the 6-year Infrastructure Plan. Due to the
cumbersome nature, do not expect to see money flowing (other than state, formula dollars) anytime soon.
He stated there was nothing specific to report on the Brent Spence Bridge, adding that it continues to be
at the forefront and the center of discussion when it comes to the funding of projects of national
significance.
C. CEO’s Report
Mr. Mark Policinski shared that Ohio passed House Bill 51, which allows public/governmental meetings
the option to be held virtually. He noted that the Federal Highway Administration has designated the State
of Ohio as the cognizant agent, meaning OKI follows the State of Ohio’s administrative capabilities and
how we operate.
He stated the previous virtual meeting authority ended July 1, 2021. Under current OKI by-laws, votes
must be made in-person to count. Additionally, we must have a quorum to operate. If OKI allows a virtual
option, this may discourage board members from attending in-person, thus increasing the likelihood of
3not meeting a quorum, which stalls the work of OKI. The virtual option will be made available on an
emergency basis. OKI is working through this scenario and welcomes thoughts and comments from board
members.
On March 8, OKI is hosting a funding workshop for the jurisdictions to go through the Prioritization
Process. This year $60 million is available. He encouraged jurisdictions to attend so they understand how
the process works and are aware of the deadlines. He noted that there are changes in the scoring process
and he encouraged members to attend the workshop. If anyone has questions, please contact OKI Deputy
Executive Director Bob Koehler. Key dates as follows:

Ques�ons? Contact Bob Koehler at rkoehler @oki.org
Mr. Policinski asked jurisdictions to contact OKI staff when they are in the initial stages of planning
projects, as staff can provide valuable guidance on applications.
In closing, he shared that OKI’s finance department was recognized by the State of Ohio Auditor, Keith
Faber. The department received the Ohio Auditor of State Award for exemplary financial reporting in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and compliance with applicable laws
for fiscal year ended 2021.
D. Finance Officer’s report
Ms. Melissa Jones, OKI Director of Finance noted that copies of the Finance Officer’s Report was
distributed to all in attendance. Ms. Jones reported the Council’s financing activities, as of February 4,
2022, OKI had:
$466,780 in PNC checking account
$22,929 HAS/FSA checking account
$312,321 STAR Ohio money market mutual fund
Ms. Jones reported there has been no recent activity on OKI’s line of credit and there is no outstanding
balance at this time. She further reported on Balance Sheet, Revenue and Expense information. The report
concluded with the general fund balance information and the total funds committed to active projects.
President Painter requested a motion to approve the minutes. Mr. Ken Reed motioned to approve the
Finance Officer’s Report and Mr. Michael Logue seconded the motion; motion carried.
4E. Authorization to Reclass Accounts Payable Item to the General Fund
Ms. Melissa Jones shared that OKI had an outstanding accounts payable to the Kentucky Transportation
Cabinet (KYTC) in the amount of $13,941.18 from June 14, 2006. During an audit conducted by ODOT in
FY2006, they disallowed some payment claims, including this one to KYTC. OKI attempted to return the
funds, but KYTC refused the funds resulting in the outstanding accounts payable item.
Ms. Jones requested a resolution to reclass the $13,941.18 funds from accounts payable to OKI’s General
Fund, as the accounts payable item has been outstanding beyond the period of five years, thus the money
could be reverted to the general fund per Ohio Revised Code Section 9.39.
Board member Anthony Simms-Howell requested that there be a footnote included in the financials for
the month the adjustment is made to the general fund balance regarding OKI’s attempt to return the funds.
Incorporating that amendment, Judge Executive Kris Knochelmann provided a motion to reclass the funds
to the general fund with a second from Trustee Lee Wong, West Chester Township; motion carried.
ITEM #2 – FHWA Update did not occur due to a scheduling miscommunication.
ITEM #3 Intermodal Coordinating Committee Report
Mr. Andy Reser, OKI Manager of Transportation Programming noted the Intermodal Coordinating
Committee (ICC) met on February 8. He stated that Deputy Director Bob Koehler presented staff
recommendations for minor changes to the upcoming Project Prioritization Process to score applications
for OKI federal funds, the ICC committee concurred with the recommendation. Additionally, the ICC
committee approved TIP Administrative Modification #16. Two resolutions were recommended for board
approval. The first resolution was an update to the OKI Public Participation Plan and the second resolution
involved support of statewide transportation safety targets.
ITEM #4 Participation Plan
Ms. Florence Parker, OKI’s Environmental Justice/Public Involvement Specialist reviews and updates our
Participation Plan every four years to ensure federal funds are used fairly and without discrimination,
referring to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Ms. Parker provided background about the Participation
Plan and then highlighted the following updates to the Plan:
• Availability of Virtual Public Involvement in addition to in-person opportunities
• New criteria for defining Environmental Justice communities; where the concentration of an EJ
population meets or exceeds 50 percent above the regional average and has an EJ population of
more than 250 individuals, the EJ population is considered to be a part of a target group and area
President Painter requested approval of Resolution OKI 2022-03 Participation Plan Update. Commissioner
Stephanie Summerow Dumas moved to accept Resolution OKI 2022-03 Participation Plan Update and
Trustee Jonathan Sams seconded the motion; motion carried.
5ITEM #5 Support of Transportation Safety Performance Measure Targets for the States of Ohio,
Kentucky, and Indiana
Mr. Brett Porter, OKI’s Senior Transportation Planner stated that the FAST Act mandated the states to
establish and maintain a performance and outcome-based program to guide transportation decisions.
This includes developing quantitative measures to address transportation safety on the National Highway
System. He added that annually each state is required to update targets for five transportation safety
performance measures. They are 1.) number of fatalities, 2.) number of serious injuries, 3.) fatality rate,
4.) serious injury rate and 5.) number of non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries.
Mr. Porter shared that MPOs have 180 days following the establishment and reporting of state safety
targets to determine whether to support those safety targets or establish their own targets. As in past
years, OKI has elected to support each state’s safety targets for 2022 calendar year. He also said that each
state’s total fatality and fatality rate targets for calendar year 2022 are slightly higher than the prior year’s
targets, while the number of serious injuries and serious injury rate and non-motorized fatalities and
serious injury targets are lower.
He closed with sharing that in the OKI region, three of the five performance measure have trended upward
between 2016 and 2020. Reflected in the below chart.
OKI Region Transportation Safety Measures 2016-2020

states of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Commissioner Rick Probst seconded the motion; motion carried.

ITEM #5: AMENDMENT #11 OF THE OKI FISCAL YEARS 2021-2024 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Resolution OKI 2022-06
ITEM #5: AMENDMENT #11 OF THE OKI FISCAL YEARS 2021-2024
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION: The attached exhibit, in resolution form, describes the specific revision proposed.
BACKGROUND: OKI is responsible for preparing biennially a four-year program of projects in this
region that will make use of available Federal-Aid Highway funds and Federal
Transit Administration funds. Inclusion in this program is a prerequisite for such
federal assistance. Because the scope, cost, and timing of the included projects are
subject to change, and because new projects are continually being developed, the
TIP is periodically amended as needed.
The amendment reflected in the proposed resolution includes the addition of five
highway/pedestrian projects in Ohio, the addition of six highway/bike-ped projects
in Kentucky and the addition of one highway project in Indiana. Many of the new
projects resulted from the conclusion of OKI’s Prioritization Process to select
projects using OKI allocated federal funds. Projects were selected by the OKI Board
of Directors in October. One highway project in Kentucky is being removed from
the TIP per request from the project sponsor. Ten new transit projects will be added
for BCRTA, MTS and SORTA. All projects are exempt from air quality conformity
requirements.
Prior to presentation to the Executive Committee, the proposed amendment is
posted to the OKI website for at least 14 days and public comments are accepted.
Staff presents the amendment to the Intermodal Coordinating Committee (ICC),
the ICC considers the issue, and makes a recommendation to Executive Committee.
Any public comments will be presented to the Executive Committee prior to
scheduled action.
AUTHORITY: 23 CFR, §450.324.
FUNDING: The fiscally constrained items proposed for the amendment have an associated
funding amount and source specified. Staff has determined that there is adequate
funding available, or anticipated to be available, and the funding amounts are
shown in year of expenditure figures for this project.
ACTION RECOMMENDED: Adoption of Resolution OKI 2022-06.
EXHIBIT: Resolution (OKI 2022-06) Concerning Amendment #11 of the OKI Fiscal Years
2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program.OKI 2022-06
