ITEM #1: ADMINISTRATIVE
A. Announcements
President Painter welcomed everyone to the Board of Directors meeting, and he reminded
everyone that this is a Board meeting and alternates cannot vote. He reminded everyone to sign
in for attendance purposes and state your name when making a motion and/or a second.
President Painter said that in conversations with the Governor of Ohio he asked the Governor if
his administration will be considering infrastructure of EV charging stations throughout Ohio. He
said the Governor is looking into infrastructure and EV charging stations and the Governor also
said he is waiting on EV usage to pick up to a point where it becomes more of a competitive
industry within private industries. He said OKI currently is looking at EV possibilities and in
Clermont County when partnering with a large development project, EV is part of the planning
process.
President Painter announced the appointments for the 2022 Nominating Committee. He
appointed Mr. Roger Kerlin, Mr. Tom Voss as members of the committee and Mr. Karl Schultz as
Committee Chair.
Mr. Beckley moved to concur with the President’s nominations. Mr. Reed seconded the motion,
motion carried.
B. Approval of September 9, 2021, Executive Committee Meeting Minutes
President Painter called for corrections and/or additions to the September 9, 2021, Executive
Committee meeting minutes. There being none, Ms. Matacic moved that the minutes be
approved as mailed. Mr. Probst seconded the motion, motion carried.
C. Executive Director’s Report
Mr. Policinski, OKI CEO, said a report on Title VI will be presented for approval by Florence Parker
and a presentation by SORTA for the new funding source for METRO services will be provided by
Mr. Darryl Haley and Mr. Khaled Shammout. He mentioned OKI will be providing $54 million in
funding to OKI communities as well. He said the prioritization process was developed and
designed by Mr. Bob Koehler. He mentioned that when he started at OKI, he met with Mr. Koehler
to discuss how to design a system that is fair, and everyone can buy into. OKI is structured where
Ohio votes on Kentucky projects and Kentucky votes on Ohio projects so a process that everyone
trusts, can get projects in the ground, and get OKI money into communities that is what Mr.
Koehler began designing 18 years ago.
3Mr. Policinski said that the prioritization process is a fair and trusted process that has been
recognized by the FHWA as best practice in the country. He recognized and thanked Mr. Bob
Koehler and the OKI staff for all the work that is put into the prioritization process and its success.
Mr. Policinski said for the past year, COVID has affected traffic in the OKI region and Dr. Liren
Zuo, and his staff, have continued to monitor traffic patterns related to COVID. Compared to
2019, the impacts show that traffic over the past 3 months is down an average of 3%, car traffic
is down 5% and truck traffic is up 14%. He mentioned AM rush hour traffic is down by 10% since
the end of July. In summary, the changes in traffic pre-COVID to today are stabilizing, as
suspected. The important question has always been would there be a shift in commuting in the
region. The OKI region may see a shift that could have a lasting impact on rush hour commute,
as well as on the economy and freight.
Mr. Policinski said the OKI annual luncheon was an outstanding success with over 400 patrons,
who had the opportunity to hear the person most responsible for the bipartisan infrastructure
bill, Senator Rob Portman. He said only high praise has been heard for the event and he thanked
all the board members who attended. He also thanked Ms. Lorrie Platt and her team for all their
hard work in making this event a success.
D. Finance Officer's Report
Ms. Melissa Jones, OKI Staff, said the Finance Officer’s Report was distributed via email and also
a copy around the table was provided. This report contains both July and August financial
statements. She reported on the more current August information along with current cash
information.
She said please turn to page 2 for current information; as of October 8th, OKI had.
$ 247,891 in the PNC checking account
$ 21,703 in the HSA/FSA checking account
$ 312,216 in the STAR Ohio money market mutual fund
She reported there has been no recent activity on OKI’s line of credit and there is no out-standing
balance at report date. She said because of cash flows, OKI has funds available for short term
liquid assets, and therefore seeks to maximize interest rates rather than realize gains. OKI’s Cash
Management and Investment Policy was restated in 2015 to reflect changes in section 135 of the
Ohio Revised Code. At that time the STAR Ohio money market mutual fund, which currently offers
higher interest rates than banks, was added as an investment option.
Ms. Jones said please turn to page 3 for balance sheet as of August 31, the cash and Investments
are stable and at the same level as compared to this time last year. Receivables are down 9%
4from this time last year due to the timing of invoice payments. August 31st there were $1,214,000
in receivables $779,000 associated with July and August invoices and $435,000 outstanding from
June and earlier. Payables are down 6% or $8,000 from this time last year.
Ms. Jones said please turn to page 4 for revenue information - August 31st we are 17% of the way
through the budgeted year. She said overall revenues are at 14% which is under budget. She
mentioned some items to note are the federal revenue is under budget due to timing of FTA 5310
pass through project activities, the state revenue is under budget due to timing of transportation
PL and rideshare project activities. The local revenue is ahead of budget due to timing of county
funding payments and that contributed services are over budget due to timing of the clean air
outreach campaign; offset by timing of rideshare project activities
Ms. Jones said please turn to page 5 for expense information; she reported that overall expenses
are at 13%, which is under budget. Some items to note are salaries are under budget due to
timing of payroll related to fiscal year transition and open staff positions. She mentioned travel,
subsistence, and professional development are under budget due to continued impact of COVID-
19 on professional development and board related travel. The printing, marketing and
contractual are under budget due to timing of 5310 pass through activities and contributed
services are ahead of budget: due to timing of the clean air outreach campaign; offset by timing
of rideshare project activities.
Ms. Jones said please turn to page 6 for general fund balance information. She said the general
fund balance has had a net increase of approximately $44,000 year to date. She reported the two
components of this increase are timing differences and year to date activities. She said the timing
differences include: $179,000 increase due to timing of county funding payments and $156,000
decrease due to application of negotiated fringe and indirect rates, the remaining $21,000
increase is associated with year-to-date operations and timing of active projects resulting in a
year-to-date fund balance of $1,539,000.
There being no discussion, Mr. Haley moved that the Board of Directors accept and file the
Finance Officer’s Report dated October 14, 2021. Mr. Reed seconded the motion; motion carried.
ITEM #2: RESULTS OF THE TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE FUND PROGRAM
Mr. Darryl Haley and Mr. Khaled Shammout, SORTA presented results of the transit infrastructure
fund program. Mr. Haley said he wanted to thank everyone in the room for their support of Issue
7 and he said at Metro everyone is excited to be able to move Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and
the whole region forward. He said today’s presentation will talk about infrastructure, in that,
twenty-five percent of the levy proceeds shall be used for public infrastructure, for building or
5maintaining roads and bridges. He said seventy-five percent of proceeds will provide general
revenues for operating Metro’s transportation system.
Mr. Shammout said that 30 proposals were received from 22 different municipalities after the
call for projects on April 1. The projects received were a mix of infrastructure proposals including
street, bridges, roadways, sidewalk, signal, and bus pull outs. He mentioned the Western Hills
Viaduct will receive $8.2 million dollars each year for 25-years totaling $205 million. Mr.
Shammout said the final list of eligible proposals received will be funded at 100% totaling $30
million.
ITEM #3: INTERMODAL COORDINATING COMMITTEE REPORT
Mr. Andy Reser, OKI Staff, updated the Board of Directors on the Intermodal Coordinating
Committee which met in person on Tuesday October 12. He said Ms. Margaret Minzner of OKI

ITEM: #3A RESOLUTION CONCERNING REVISIONS TO GUIDELINES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
MODIFICATIONS TO THE OKI TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP)
DESCRIPTION: The attached exhibit, in resolution form, establishes revised
guidelines for determining administrative modifications for project
changes in OKI’s TIP.
BACKGROUND: ODOT has revised guidelines to define and process administrative
modifications to the Statewide Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP) in Ohio. Administrative Modifications are minor
TIP/STIP revisions that do not require federal review and approval,
public review and comment, redemonstration of fiscal constraint,
or conformity determination. OKI has elected to follow these
guidelines without substantive change, as applicable, for Ohio,
Kentucky and Indiana projects in the OKI TIP.
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. The
current program is the FY 2021 – 2024 TIP.
AUTHORITY: 23 CFR, §450.324.
FUNDING: N/A
ACTION RECOMMENDED: Adoption of Resolution OKI 2021-32.
EXHIBIT: Resolution (OKI 2021-32) concerning Revisions to Guidelines for
Administrative Modifications to the OKI Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP)OKI 2021-32
RESOLUTION
OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE
OHIO-KENTUCKY INDIANA REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
CONCERNING REVISIONS TO GUIDELINES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE MODIFICATIONS TO THE OKI
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP)
WHEREAS, the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) is designated as the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) by the Governors of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana acting
through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC)
and the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) and in cooperation with locally elected officials
in the OKI region; and
WHEREAS, ODOT has defined administrative modifications to the Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) and established a procedure to process administrative modifications in
Ohio which are minor STIP revisions that do not require federal review and approval, public review and
comment, redemonstration of fiscal constraint, or conformity determination; and
WHEREAS, in September 2021, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit

2ITEM #3B: FY21-24 Transportation Improvement Program/Amendment #9
ITEM #: 3B AMENDMENT #9 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
periodic change, and because new projects are continually being
developed, the TIP is periodically amended as needed.
The amendment reflected in the proposed resolution includes one
project in Ohio. The project is non-exempt and subject to air quality
conformity requirements. The finding of conformity is relying on a
previous regional emissions analysis.
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 Board of Directors. Any
public comments will be presented to the Board of Directors 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 2021-33.
EXHIBIT: Resolution (OKI 2021-33) Concerning Amendment #9 of the OKI
Fiscal Years 2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program.OKI 2021-33

adopted on September 10, 2020 and the OKI Regional ITS Architecture adopted on September 8, 2016; and
WHEREAS, the Cincinnati ozone nonattainment area consists of the Ohio counties of Butler, Clermont,
Hamilton and Warren; and a portion of the Kentucky counties of Boone, Campbell and Kenton; and OKI’s
Transportation Plan and TIP are subject to transportation conformity rules; and

funding changes to one project subject to transportation conformity requirements and this project has been
previously analyzed, and the conformity determination is relying on a previous regional emissions, and OKI has
engaged in interagency consultation with federal, state and local partners, including the U.S. Department of
Transportation, and those partners have concurred with the methodology used by OKI to determine conformity; and
WHEREAS, the amended OKI FY 2021-2024 TIP conforms with all applicable U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) approved State Implementation Plans for air quality; and
WHEREAS, the opportunity for public participation has been provided per OKI’s Public Participation Plan;
and
WHEREAS, the environmental justice impacts of these amendments have been considered with
“Executive Order 12898 Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income
Populations”; and
WHEREAS, this amendment will result in a TIP that remains fiscally constrained: Now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED that the Executive Committee of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of
Governments at its regular public meeting on November 10, 2021 hereby amends the Fiscal Years 2021 – 2024
