PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Pledge of Allegiance followed. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Director Shanahan moved and Director Melendez seconded approval of the May 2, 2016 Regular Board of Director meeting minutes. All Board members present voted aye. The motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS (3 MINUTES PER SPEAKER) Mr. Tom Rask, Pinellas County, indicated that he sent an email to all HART Board members asking to vote on the lobbying issue and obtain an Attorney General’s opinion. He also pointed out that the agenda packet is missing a statement that is required by F.S. 286.0105 addressing the need for a verbatim transcript if an appeal is desired. Director Shanahan inquired whether Mr. Rask lives in the jurisdictional area of HART. Mr. Rask responded that he did not. Director Shanahan asked Mr. Rask to clarify why he is pursuing this issue through HART. Mr. Rask responded that HART receives state and federal funding. He reported that he also communicated with the City of Madeira Beach despite not being a resident. He stated that he is addressing his concern about using lobbying services with HART as this issue has recently come up with PTC and it is of interest for Senator Brandes. Mr. Rask explained that he has been asking PSTA Board of Directors to have a discussion for two years, and they have declined his request. Director Shanahan remarked that Mr. Rask does not reside in the county and that he is using HART as a vehicle to promote a personal agenda. Mr. Rask pointed out that he drives through the county and the decisions made in Hillsborough County affect him. Chair Suarez read the absence memorandum from Director Miller and reported that Director Beckner is ill and will not be attending the meeting. PRESENTATIONS Florida Senator Jeff Brandes, District 22 Senator Jeff Brandes, District 22 and Chair of the Transportation Committee, provided the 2016 legislative session wrap up focusing on state transportation policy. He also shared his vision for HART's future with a focus on developing partnerships to provide services to the Tampa Bay community. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected].

Director Shanahan thanked Senator Brandes for coming and remarked that one of the legislative priorities for HART from Tallahassee is appropriation for the Regional Farecard. Director Shanahan commented that there does not seem to be any traction in Tallahassee and inquired how HART can do a better job of advocating the resources for this jurisdiction or area of responsibility to take small steps to move forward. Senator Brandes responded that he thinks the idea of a regional farecard, or even a statewide farecard, is something that he fully supports and that he has had multiple conversations with the head of the Turnpike Authority about integrating Sun Pass accounts with public transit. He commented that the project is about an access system to mobile platforms. Senator Brandes suggested that Florida look at TIGER grants as it is something that people understand at the federal level, especially those in transit. He added that he feels that TIGER grants have worked well for bold ideas and big projects and that it may be time for the state to look into its own version for these types of forward thinking projects. Senator Brandes commented that he is encouraged that HART is thinking boldly about this issue and that the state should provide assistance in this endeavor. Director Jaroch arrived at 9:20 a.m. Director Shanahan concurred with Senator Brandes’s comments. She stated that she would welcome his advocacy and that HART would be happy to support that in any way. Director Murman thanked Senator Brandes for his service and noted that he has done a good job representing the region. She observed that there are numerous transportation groups and inquired whether there might be the possibility of absorbing all the groups into one that can help the region move forward. Director Murman noted that leadership is splintered and that the region would be best served with one voice and one advocacy in Tallahassee. Senator Brandes agreed with Director Murman that there are too many groups; however, shrinking the size of the government can be challenging. He advised the best way would be to regionalize the MPOs and that he thinks Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough Counties should have a regionalized MPO. Senator Brandes added that the challenge is that MPOs are federally mandated, which means that the local MPOs would need to get together to decide how to focus the region’s efforts. Director Jacob concurred with Senator Brandes’s suggestions and inquired how he envisions transit in the future based on his comment on the generational issues as there are substantial economic and technological differences. Senator Brandes responded that a common temptation is to think that a large increase in funds will solve the problem. He stated that another hurdle is that Florida is a state with several large regions and that state funding needs to be split between those regions as they all have their own diverse needs. Senator Brandes commented that he doubts that any one region will be able to receive a large investment from the state as it will be at the expense of the other regions and the likelihood that the return on investment would be measured in years. He stated he expects to see the private sector step in to help with solving regional funding issues as they will have the resources to improve on the existing technology and systems to advance transportation more quickly than public agencies will be able to.

Director Melendez observed that Senator Brandes’s remarks fit appropriately into the Agency’s mission and inquired whether the Senator was envisioning opportunities for partnerships at this time. Senator Brandes answered that partnerships are important and that the majority of what needs to be done will depend on finding the best partner to fit a need in the community, especially given the diversity throughout Hillsborough County as well as the region. He added that he is encouraged because HART has already started moving in that direction with Megabus and First mile/Last mile which shows bold leadership by the Agency, and he encourages HART to continue to look for partnerships and opportunities. Director Melendez commented that a recent study has shown ride sharing is linked to a sharp decline in DUIs and that relates to a service or partnership that HART could possibly provide. Senator Brandes reported that he has challenged PSTA and other groups to consider what would happen if service was decreased by an hour and rides all night long were subsidized on those types of platforms. He observed that there would be a dramatic decrease in DUIs which would correspond to part of the Agency’s mission to provide safe transportation; it would also show a bold leadership in taking partnerships to the next level. Director Jaroch inquired about Senator Brandes’s opinion on whether merging HART and PSTA would be beneficial as she is concerned that growing too large would affect HART’s local interactions with patrons. Senator Brandes responded that, since the study came back that there is essentially no benefit, he cannot find a compelling reason to consider merging since there are agreements that allow an ease in crossing jurisdictional boundaries. He added that there is a large diversity gap between Hillsborough and Pinellas counties and there will be better opportunities for HART and PSTA as stand-alone agencies. Chair Suarez thanked Senator Brandes for supporting HART specifically and transportation in general and offered appreciation of the Senator’s recognition of some of the innovative things that HART has done. He agreed with Senator Brandes’ assessment that transportation has undergone a paradigm shift and that HART will be in a better position than other systems across the country as the Agency has already started looking ahead. Ms. Eagan thanked Senator Brandes for his advocacy for the First mile/Last mile funding that HART was able to get through DOT. She acknowledged that his support of innovative programs was instrumental. Senator Brandes stated that he thinks this is a dynamic point and, with the leadership and partnerships that the Agency has, HART is on the cutting edge to carry the county in the future. Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Andrew Laflin, CPA, Principal, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, provided an overview of the comprehensive external audit of the Authority’s finances and their presentation in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles conducted by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected].

Director Shanahan commented that the pension liability was discussed at the F&A Committee meeting and referenced an article about the Florida Pension System, indicating that it is funded 80 to 85 percent. Mr. Laflin remarked that Director Shanahan was correct as HART contributes a percentage of pensionable wages to each employee so the $23 million is a paper liability. Director Murman reported that there is an increase in new revenue as the County Commissioners decided to dedicate at least 50% of the County’s new revenue growth to capital projects on the TDP. Director Murman moved and Director White seconded a motion to ask the County Attorney to draft a policy for a trust fund to dedicate at least 50% of the new revenue to capital projects. Director Bowers stated that he would like to know exactly how it will affect the present operation. Director Bowers amended the motion to reflect HART staff to discuss the effect of the increased revenue. Directors Murman and White accepted the amendment to the motion. Director Murman stated that with new revenue coming in, the Board needs to insure that the funds are invested appropriately. All Board members present voted aye. The motion carried unanimously. Director White inquired if the decrease of cash reserves shown on slide 11 should be of concern to the Board. Mr. Laflin answered that some of the decrease is timing related to payments due, as well as health cost claims incurred by HART. Jeff Seward, Chief Financial Officer, responded that there was an overspend of $3.4 million in health care and almost $1 million in parts. He added that there were inadequate budget numbers last year and he will address those in his presentation. Director White observed that the movement from FY14 to FY15 is a significant percentage and asks that this is a central focus on the upcoming budget. He added that, to have a balanced budget presented to the Board is one thing, but to have it balanced by using the fund reserves is problematic. Vice Chair Jaroch inquired whether there is a metric to determine the Agency’s share of the pension fund that could possibly be put on a performance report. Mr. Laflin stated that there is a schedule of employer allocations that is on the FRS website which includes the proportionate share, the overall net pension liability, the percentage for each employer, and each employer’s liability. Vice Chair Jaroch commented that HART is $23-$25 million underfunded and asked whether there is a way to look at the total number to get a ratio similar to the state’s. She inquired about a percentage as the dollar figure is not meaningful to her without knowing the bottom number.


June 6, 2016

Mr. Laflin responded that the bottom number is the $23 billion total pension liability and clarified that there are two plans: the traditional pension plan as well as a health insurance subsidy. He stated that the subsidy may have a larger liability since it is not as robustly funded. Mr. Laflin explained that the overall liability is allocated by the overall contribution per fiscal period and compared to the other employers’ contributions. He advised that he can provide that percentage; and although the percentage will be very small, when multiplied by $23 billion, the number is sizeable. Director Melendez observed that this was the first year that no material weaknesses were found during the annual audit. Director Bowers asked at what circustances the FRS deficit to have an impact on HART. Mr. Laflin responded that the entire plan would need to go bankrupt and advised that, due to the health of this plan, it is not a feasible scenario. Director Vance added that if the state is delegating the funding down proportionately, then each agency is funded for the same percentage. FY2017 Budget Projections Mr. Seward presented the first iteration of the FY2017 Proposed Annual Operating and Capital budget as well as preliminary property valuations for review and discussion. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Director Shanahan inquired whether Mr. Seward can provide a split of funding the current budget that is federal, state, and local. Mr. Seward responded that federal funding constitutes 14 percent of HART budget, state funding, 6.6 percent, and local is 14% and 9% including grants. He added that 51% of the budget comes from ad valorem collections. Director Shanahan asked what percentage of maintenance or operating costs was increased with the new services implemented in FY15 and FY16. Mr. Seward responded that operating costs increased approximately 3.5 percent. Director Shanahan asked staff to consider the possibility of outsourcing the list of projected FTE additions. She then inquired whether HART can do an ITN with ApplePay or Sun Pass to partner on Regional Farecard to see what kind of responses are received. Mr. Seward responded that HART will continue to pursue new funding sources; however, at this time, the Agency is waiting on the decision for the TIGER grant. He added that HART is being showcased at the FDOT, FPTA, CUTR Workshop at USF and will be discussing Farecard with South Florida counterparts who are trying to implement the same program. Mr. Seward reported that a few years ago, FDOT was looking at transit organizations within the state to test Sun Pass expansion to include transit options. While HART has beat them to the point of being able to enact something tangible and move



June 6, 2016

forward, he cautioned that Farecard does not preclude any future interaction or interconnectivity with any type of state program. Mr. Seward emphasized that HART is further ahead than any other agency in the state with a Farecard implementation. Director Shanahan observed that, instead of waiting on funding and support in Tallahassee, staff could engage in public-private partnerships, if the Board is amenable to doing so, through an open and transparent process. She commented that 70% of the budget is dependent on government entities and inquired if there is a benefit in terms of the advocacy and education of the decision makers in the respective appropriations to secure funding on an annualized basis. Mr. Seward agreed. Director Vance referenced the health care cost increase budgeted at 7 percent in the upcoming fiscal year, despite the upward trending over the years. He inquired about the rationale behind budgeting it at the same level versus projecting it higher. Mr. Seward reported that there have been changes made to the health care plan going into FY16 that have not been analyzed yet this early in the calendar year, although percentagewise, HART is trending slightly above the expectation. He stated that HART was able to put $1.6 million in reserve in case of over expenditure and advised that the actual expenditure amount be increased this year. He clarified that due to FY16 being the first year that employee contributions were increased and that staff is exploring more modifications to the health plan going forward into FY17, he views FY15 as a historic anomaly. Mr. Seward commented that there were many organizations within the county that saw a spike in FY15 that the Agency is not experiencing this year. He clarified that this budget is a draft and that by the time the final budget is brought before the Board for approval, there will be another three months of data and he may be recommending an increase. Ms. Eagan commented that the first quarter data for FY16 was the last quarter of calendar year 2015, since health benefits run on a calendar year. She remarked that the trend is approximately 3.8% per month; however, the data also reflects employer contributions of 82% and for 2016, the amount was decreased to 73%. She stated that HR staff will provide a presentation with a thorough overview of benefits. Director Vance inquired if there are 15 buses at a cost of approximately $7.3 million expected to be replaced in the second year and requested an update on the age of the current fleet. Ms. Eagan stated that information about the fleet plan will be included in the CEO weekly. Director Murman observed that health insurance is a large expense and encourages staff to continue researching available options. She referenced back to her motion and commented that she does not see any innovative steps forward with the additional revenue. Director Vance requested that staff provide some information on where the Agency would be currently if the access to the additional revenue had begun three years ago. Ms. Eagan replied that a presentation with overviews of different options for investment can be brought to the Finance and Audit Committee meeting. She added that approximately 30% of the budget goes


June 6, 2016

directly into new service, 50% to salaries. She clarified that operating costs are about six times as much as the capital. Mr. Seward clarified for operational definition purposes, new revenue is a revenue sources that does not exist today and is anything above what HART received in the prior year in existing revenue streams. Director Vance inquired whether HART contributed approximately one third of the budget to new service. He inquired if staff could provide details on what HART would have given up had it contributed 50% towards TDP renovations had it started this three years ago. . Ms. Eagan said that a full breakdown will be provided in the presentation at the Committee meeting. Director McClain asked that the new revenue be factored into the five year operating outlook. ACTION ITEMS a. Resolution #R2016-06-20 ~ Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute an Easement Agreement between HART, Pasco County, and Pasco-Pinellas Hillsborough Community Health System, Inc., for the Provision of a Park-n-ride Lot to be shared by HART and Pasco County Public Transportation under the Wiregrass Development of Regional Impact (DRI) Agreement Director Murman moved and Director Shanahan seconded approval of action item 2a: Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute an Easement Agreement between HART, Pasco County, and Pasco-Pinellas Hillsborough Community Health System, Inc., for the Provision of a Park-n-ride Lot to be shared by HART and Pasco County Public Transportation under the Wiregrass Development of Regional Impact (DRI) Agreement.

All Board members present voted aye. The motion carried unanimously. CHAIR AND CEO REPORT Chair Suarez reported about a public meeting highlighting autonomous vehicles with an interesting look at the future of transit. He cautioned that there will be significant changes in the future concerning the balance between what HART does for the public and what technology is doing changing the paradigm. Ms. Eagan recognized Mr. Seward and Mr. Thomas Jones, ESMS Coordinator, for the completion of the ISO certification. She announced that HART is the first transit agency in the state to receive the certification, among a few agencies nationwide. Mr. Jones recognized members of staff that were not able to attend the meeting. Director Shanahan inquired about the biggest challenge Mr. Jones faced achieving this designation. Mr. Jones responded that the biggest challenge was the size of the organization and implementation of training. Ms. Eagan reported that the project did predate Mr. Jones and recognized Mr. Seward and Ms. Lynda Crescentini, Project Manager III, as the two original team members spearheading the project. Mr. Jones added that some of the benefits of being ISO certified are reducing the carbon from fleet vehicles by 16% while increasing service by 7%, and reduced energy consumption agency-wide by approximately 5%. Director Shanahan inquired whether there are any federal grants or opportunities available. Mr. Jones responded that at this time, staff has not specifically targeted any grants; however, moving forward, HART will be in a position to be responsive to those opportunities when they become available. He added that recently there was a Low/No Emissions grant for continued clean energy bus purchase. Mr. Jones stated that tracking performance and having the metrics readily available will assist with applying for grants in the future.

Ms. Eagan recognized Mr. Shannon Haney, GISP, ITS Coordinator, who has been named by Mass Transit Magazine as one of transit’s 40 under 40 employees. She stated that Mr. Haney is responsible for HART engaging in OneBusAway and its upcoming trip planner. Ms. Eagan reported that Mr. Seward was recently in Toronto to speak on a panel for the GFOA Annual Conference with the CFO for Las Vegas and the Financial Chief for British Columbia. Ms. Eagan stated that ridership has been averaging 17,000 to 18,000 trips per week with students and HART has engaged in active discussions with the School Board about the next steps. Ms. Eagan reported that a pre-proposal briefing was held that previous Thursday for the Regional Premium Transit Study which included over 30 attendees and facilitated a robust discussion. She mentioned that staff conducted an annual Hurricane Tabletop exercise in preparation to the hurricane season. GENERAL COUNSEL’S REPORT Mr. David Smith, General Counsel, clarified a few points for the discussion on the legality of hiring a lobbyist. He first deferred to the Board Policies when making a recommendation that “absolute certainty” is not something that can be obtained through any legal opinion, including an Attorney General, and that the Attorney General website specifically states that the opinions are not law and are advisory only and therefore not binding in a court of law. He explained that the website further states that Attorney General opinions are intended to address only questions of law, not questions of fact, mixed questions of fact and law, or questions of executive, legislative or administrative policy, nor are Attorney General Opinions a substitute for the advice and counsel of the attorneys who represent governmental agencies and officials on a day to day basis and they should not be sought to arbitrate disputes between agencies or merely to buttress an opinion of an agency's own legal counsel. Mr. Smith stated that he analyzed all Attorney General Opinions applicable to the issue and read the case law in which those opinions were based because frequently Attorney General Opinions are written at what lawyers would refer to as at a less detailed, less analytical level so the case law has to be examined. He explained that the critical issue is what the legislation that created HART allows. Mr. Smith clarified that, despite a view among some of the population that if the word lobbying is not mentioned, it is proscribed, is not true and is not a consistent canon of legislative interpretation. Mr. Smith illuminated a few points in the Charter and in his research that led him to his recommendation to not pursue an Attorney General Opinion. He stated that HART is a Special District that has been granted the authority to purchase, own, or operate or provide for the operation of transportation facilities to contract for transit services to exercise power of eminent domain to conduct studies and to contract with other governmental agencies, private companies, and individuals. Mr. Smith stated that this is an important variable because the Attorney General Opinion that was cited was a civil service board and in that creating legislation, it specifically told them they could contract with legal counsel and they were not allowed to contract with others because they were not provided that authority, while HART’s authority is essentially unlimited in terms of those that HART can contract to help accomplish its purposes. In addition, it says those purposes include the exercise of all powers necessary or pertinent, convenient, or incidental to carrying out the aforesaid purposes. He continued that the Charter states that


June 6, 2016

1-11

HART has a contracting authority to execute all instruments necessary or convenient for the carrying out of business. A part of the Agency’s business, without limitation, is to borrow money, accepts gifts or grants or loans of money and to enter into contracts and/or leases with any federal agency, the state, any agency of the state, or any other public body of the state; and therefore, the contracts entered into of any nature that are in furtherance in advancing its objectives, including entering into contracts with federal, state, and local governments, are all part of what can be done. Mr. Smith stated that, while the Charter does not use the term lobbyist, it does describe the fact that HART will have to negotiate with and enter into contracts with various entities, which is where most of the lobbying activity goes as approximately 70% of the revenue comes from these governmental entities with whom HART is to negotiate. He added that, as General Counsel, he advises that HART hire people who are proficient in dealing with those entities or risk being at a distinct disadvantage. He summarized that all of those factors led him to believe that HART has the ability to hire a lobbyist as it is part of the budget and it is part of what needs to be done to accomplish HART’s mission. Mr. Smith added that while the Opinion is free, it is not costless as the preparation entails drafting the question as well as an answer similar to a proposed recommended order for those familiar with the recommended processes that require additional detailing. He advised that the Board has the 16 page document on the law drafted by Mr. Smith, and although he can convert it into an advocacy piece without expending 100 hours, it would be an additional contract item for our firm that is not part of the General Counsel representation. Director Vance left at 11:05 a.m. Director Shanahan moved and Director Melendez seconded the acceptance of General Counsel’s recommendation to not seek an Attorney General’s Opinion. Vice Chair Jaroch challenged the assessment that 70% of revenue comes from governmental entities as 50% of it comes from local sources. She added that of the 14% that is attributed to federal funds, the majority of those are formula funds and thinks that the same is true for the state funding. Vice Chair Jaroch observed that the 70% mentioned is not an amount that could be completely influenced by lobbying and feels that HART would be better served having a state services as opposed to a federal lobbyist, especially as earmarks were done away with and federal officials do not have as much sway on those decision making processes. Vice Chair Jaroch explained that she does understand the need for education; however, hopes that HART will be able to do this in-house eventually given Mr. Hernandez’s hard work. She added that she supports obtaining the Opinion as a way to finally put the issue to rest and that it may also be helpful to some of the other agencies as well. Mr. Smith clarified that the 70% issue is clearly a policy question as is the efficacy of the lobbyists. He stated that he is only addressing the issue of whether HART has the legal capacity and his view is that HART does. Mr. Smith explained that he also checked with some of the local agencies to find out what they do and Hillsborough County Aviation Authority, PSTA, and Tampa Port Authority, which are all special districts, have lobbyists. He summarized that in terms of the request that was made, the analogous agencies in this region all have come to the conclusion as have the respective general counsels, that they have the authority to retain a lobbyist, although whether HART chooses to do so or whether it is a good expenditure of funds is a Board issue, not a legal one.

Director Shanahan commented that she could not imagine a scenario where any agency with a percentage of their funding coming from government entities would say that they will not advocate, educate, or lobby. Director Melendez explained that Mr. Rask approached him directly on this issue and that, as a state appointee, he felt that it was important to honor the request and at least discuss the issue at the Board level. He stated that he felt the Board honored Mr. Rask’s request; however, he supports Mr. Smith’s recommendation. Director Melendez further clarified that HART is an independent agency and therefore this is a decision for the Board regardless of what other organizations choose to do. Directors Bowers, Crino, Jacob, McClain, Melendez, Murman, Shanahan, Suarez, and White voted aye; Vice Chair Jaroch voted nay. The motion carried 9-1. Mr. Smith added that it has been a pleasure working with Mr. Rask as he has been fair and candid. STATUS REPORTS Chair Suarez referred the Board members to the materials in the packet. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business.

PUBLIC INPUT Gary Cloyd, 1402 East Chilkoot Ave, commented that there has been much outreach over the last few years which has increased ridership on several routes demonstrating that people see congestion and want a viable option. Directors Murman, White, and Bowers left at 11:20 a.m. Mr. Rask, unincorporated Pinellas County, thanked the Board for having the vote and stated that it was a pleasure for him to work with Mr. Smith. He added that Mr. Smith had previously commented that there should be no colloquy with members of the public when comments are made; however, it occurred earlier after his first public comment, and he was taken aback by some of the remarks. Mr. Rask commented that, based on Senator Brandes’s comments, HART should focus on meeting the demand over the next few years and to forgo central planning. He observed that the non-establishment mood is not going to dispel and that money, news stories, and advertising will not suffice to carry the “establishment” forward.

COMMITTEE ACTION ITEM Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) Between the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to Conduct a Premium Regional Transit Feasibility Study OVERVIEW In conjunction with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and local stakeholders, HART will retain a consultant to conduct a Premium Regional Transit Feasibility Study focusing on the Tampa Bay region of Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties. RECOMMENDATION That the Finance and Audit Committee review the action item authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to execute a Joint Participation Agreement between the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to conduct a Premium Regional Transit Feasibility Study. FINANCIAL IMPACT Study duration is estimated to be no longer than 24 months. FDOT has dedicated in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) $501,000 for fiscal year 2017 and $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2018 to work with HART and local stakeholders to fund a feasibility study of regional premium mass transit options, such as bus rapid transit, light rail, and commuter rail. Funding is 100% FDOT and no local match is required for the funds. BACKGROUND The origin of the study came out of the community meetings that the FDOT held on the interstate expansion project known as Tampa Bay Express or TBX. Citizens expressed to FDOT officials the need for alternatives to car-centric solutions such as TBX. The study has also been reviewed and endorsed by the Tampa Bay Transportation Management Area (TMA) Leadership Group, a committee of regional elected and non-elected officials. FDOT allocated funds to conduct a comprehensive regional transit study of premium commuter options for the Tampa Bay area, to include bus rapid transit, light rail and commuter rail. HART was selected by FDOT to procure and manage a consultant contract to conduct the study. FDOT has allocated $1.5 million dollars for the study and application for entering into the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) New Starts Project Development phase. A scope of services for the study was prepared by HART and is in Procurement. Pre-Bid was held June 2 with proposals due June 16. It is anticipated that the selection committee, which is comprised of staff representing HART, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas County, as well as the Tampa Bay Partnership, will select a recommended vendor for presentation to the August HART Governance, Operations, and Administration Committee and then to the HART Board of Directors at one of its September meetings. Notice to proceed for the recommended vendor would be October 1, 2016.

If it is determined that there are feasible transit options, recommendations from this study can move to the NEPA process (National Environmental Policy Act). NEPA is the primary law governing the Federal Transit Administration’s environmental protection process. FDOT indicates that the NEPA phase will be eligible for state funding. NEXT STEPS Present recommendation by the Finance and Audit Committee HART Board of Directors at the July 18, 2016 Board meeting.

COMMITTEE ACTION ITEM Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Award VC-000583 for the Streetcar HVAC System Replacement to Sutrak Corporation for $507,258.00 Plus a 10% Contingency of $50,725.80 for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $557,983.80 for a Three Year Period. OVERVIEW The purpose of this contract is replace the existing inadequate and aging HVAC system from the 9 HART Streetcars and replace them with a new, reliable and warrantied system. This will include the removal of the existing systems, installation of a surge suppressor to protect the electronic systems on the Streetcar from high voltage spikes and installation of the new HVAC system. RECOMMENDATION That the Finance and Audit Committee approve staff’s recommendation to authorize the Chief Executive Officer to award VC-000583 for the Streetcar HVAC System Replacement to Sutrak Corporation for $507,258.00 plus a 10% contingency of $50,725.80 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $557,983.80 for a three year period; and advance this item to the full HART Board of Directors at the July 18, 2016 regular Board meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funding for this service is available through various grants awarded to HART and HART funds. BACKGROUND The Streetcars have reached their midlife and the HVAC system is constantly failing and requires replacement at this time. The oldest units are now 16 years old and all Streetcar HVAC systems have exceeded their useful life of 12 years. The new systems will last for the 25 year life of the Streetcars. PROCUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS On April 14, 2016, RFP-19344CG was issued in compliance with HART procurement policies and included all federally required clauses. The solicitation was posted on the HART website and DemandStar with direct notices sent to seven vendors that could provide the services. The solicitation was accessed on the HART website by five firms and/or individuals and on DemandStar by four firms and/or individuals.

The Pre-Proposal Audio Conference was held on April 21, 2016. One Amendment was issued on May 3, 2016 in which questions and answers were distributed and both the Schedule and Exhibit D were updated to reflect a three year base term contract with no options with the intent to purchase up to three HVAC units in each year.

One proposal was received by the deadline of May 11, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. The proposal was found to be responsive to the solicitation requirements.

The proposal was evaluated by an evaluation committee of two HART staff. The evaluation criteria, specified below, was used to technically evaluate the proposal to ensure the proposer’s ability to perform the services:



2-8

• 150 Points - Qualifications of the Firm • 100 Points - References • 250 Points - Work Plan • 200 Points – Standards of Reliability • 300 Points – Price

The firm scored as follows:

In addition, Sutrak Corporation was found to be responsible and eligible for award of a contract.

The term of the contract is three years from date of award and includes all of HART standard contract provisions. NEXT STEPS Present the recommendation by the Finance and Audit Committee to the full HART Board of Directors at the July 18, 2016 regular Board meeting.

BOARD ACTION ITEM Resolution #R2016-07-28 ~ Certifying the Proposed Ad Valorem Tax Millage Rate for the Fiscal Year 2017 Budget OVERVIEW Pursuant to Florida Statute 200.65, HART has 35 days from receipt of the certified property value to advise the Property Appraiser of its proposed (not to exceed) millage rate, of its rolled-back rate and the date, time, and place at which a public hearing will be held to consider the proposed millage rate and the tentative budget (pursuant to Florida Statute 129.03). RECOMMENDATION That the HART Board of Directors approves the attached Resolution which certifies HART’s Proposed Ad Valorem Tax Millage rate (not to exceed) for the Fiscal Year 2017 budget and affirm the public hearing dates(s). The following data will be certified to the Property Appraiser:

A. The prior year millage for FY2016 is .5000; B. The proposed (not to exceed) millage for FY2017 is .5000; C. The rolled-back rate for FY2017 is .4744, which is 5.4% below the proposed millage rate

of .5000; and D. The first public hearing to tentatively approve the millage and tentative budget is

September 12, 2016, at 5:30 p.m. at 1201 E. 7th Avenue, Tampa, Florida. FINANCIAL IMPACT The fiscal impact of this agenda item is the estimated revenue generated from ad valorem taxes based on the proposed (not to exceed) millage rate of 0.5000 and the certified property values received on June 23, 2016. Based on the final certified property valuation of $77,745,770,762 it is estimated that $38,872,885 of revenue will be generated, budgeted at 95%, in the FY2017 annual budget. The millage rate comparison from FY2016 is as follows:

Proposed Adopted FY2017 FY2016 Difference/Percent Proposed (not to exceed) millage 0.5000 0.5000 0.0000/0.00% BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION HART is an independent taxing district and is authorized by its Charter to levy ad valorem tax based on full evaluation of real property within the jurisdictional limits of its constituent members, at a rate sufficient to produce an amount that may be necessary for effectuating the process of the Authority (Article VI, Section 2, Special Region Taxation of Charter). If a taxing authority does not provide the required information within 35 days, the taxing authority cannot levy a millage rate greater than the rolled-back rate for the upcoming year. The Property Appraiser will calculate the rolled-back rate and use it to prepare the notice of proposed property taxes (s.200.065 (2) (b), F.S.).


July 18, 2016

2-10

The FY2017 millage rate will be reflected on the August tax notices. Once the proposed millage is certified, the Board can lower the millage rate at the September budget public hearings but cannot increase the millage above the certified rate unless each taxpayer is sent notice by first-class mail. NEXT STEPS HART is required by statute to hold two public hearings. The first public hearing is scheduled for September 12, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. at 1201 East 7th Avenue, Tampa, Florida. This public hearing is publicized on the TRIM Notice mailed by the Property Appraiser. At this hearing, HART will:

A. Adopt the tentative millage and budget; B. Publicly announce the percent, if any, by which the proposed millage exceeds the rolled-

back rate; and C. Publicly announce the second public hearing for September 26, 2016, at 5:30 p.m. at 1201

East 7th Avenue, Tampa, Florida, to adopt the final millage and budget. This second public hearing is also advertised and cannot be held sooner than two days, nor later than five days after, it is advertised in the newspaper.

PRESENTATION Leadership Development and Pay for Performance Ms. Nicole Lauren, HR Manager of Talent Acquisition and Organizational Development, provided a brief update on the Pay for Performance and Leadership Development initiatives for 2016. This includes progress to date and the roll out plan. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Committee member Jacob commented that he supports leadership development. He inquired whether HART looks at opportunities to engage in Leadership Tampa and how to identify people for Leadership Florida. Committee member Jacob added that, given the challenges lately with lobbying, engaging in large-scale programs is a good way to make beneficial connections. Ms. Eagan responded that there are employees participating in Leadership Hillsborough as well as previous engagement in Emerge Tampa Bay. She added that there may be candidates for Leadership Tampa in the coming fiscal year. Ms. Eagan clarified that there is also a focus on participation in national transit programs. Committee member Jacob noted an opportunity to have employees positioned to take advantage of the transportation days associated with the various leadership trainings. Ms. Eagan added that Ms. Lena Petit participated in Leadership Hillsborough this year which she feels will improve our standing in transportation day. Ms. Lauren commented that, coming from the private sector, the leadership development program is unique. She added that this is the value of doing the needs assessment as this will assist HART with determining the leadership direction to take. Committee Chair Melendez stated that he appreciates merit based awards in a government agency. He asked whether there is a cost associated with engaging with CUTR. Ms. Lauren responded that there is no cost associated with this partnership. Committee Chair Melendez commended HART staff on continuing to find ways to engage in cost-effective solutions for initiatives. Options for Future Revenue Growth Investment Ms. Eagan explained that, at the previous meeting, a motion was passed requesting an overview of investment and growth options for the additional funding that will be received by HART due to growth in ad valorem. She said the presentation will briefly outline various opportunities for further discussion at the full Board meeting.



June 20, 2016

Jeff Seward, Chief Financial Officer, provided an overview of the options for future revenue growth investment in service, capital, and operational support. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Committee Chair Melendez inquired whether both slides account for 50% of new growth in revenue and if increasing services are largely dependent on ad valorem growth of 64%. Mr. Seward responded affirmatively. He clarified that, if the ad valorem increase did not exist, it would be problematic to get the increase in service. Ms. Eagan added that new buses cost $480,000 and $3 million to operate which is a 1:6 ratio of investment of capital to operating. Committee Chair Melendez commented that this is an important relationship to be noted. Committee member Jacob inquired what general percentage of capital is needed to serve growth. Ms. Eagan drew an example of the next five years in the TDP. She added that HART is constrained for space at the East Tampa operations facility, which means that HART can add buses, but would need to take away vans. Ms. Eagan stated that next year, HART plans to study a potential site for a second facility. She reported that HART will continue to enact the ten year TDP while looking at the vision plan and a capital intensive plan for growth. Committee member Jacob asked whether HART is able to continue following the vehicle replacement plan and what kind of strain that causes. Mr. Seward answered that the five year service is with existing fleet resources and HART is utilizing the current fleet to absorb the cost. He added that, to maintain the way it exists right now, a lot of the CIP funding needs to be invested. Mr. Seward stated that HART is able to replace diesel buses more rapidly than originally thought. Committee member Crino commented that ensuring that the extra revenue does not go “into the soup” is an unsophisticated approach that is only necessary with an irresponsible governing body. He observed that HART is a sophisticated organization with well-defined objectives which may render the discussion inhibitive. Committee member Crino emphasized importance of a plan for investment of the new revenue. Committee member Jaroch clarified that to purchase a new bus and operate it for the useful life is roughly 17% capital and 83% operations. She observed that the overall budget has decreased from 89% to 76% in capital. She commented that the Board should be looking at whether ridership and service is growing instead of looking at the split of capital to operations. Committee member Jaroch added that the TDP needs to always be in the forefront of planning and there is not enough funding to enact some projects in the TDP. She suggested that the TDP be reprioritized to allow for some less capital-intensive projects to be initiated.

Committee member Crino concurred with Committee member Jaroch about further discussing the TDP and enhancing services. He observed that this is a budgeting issue and there needs to be an appropriate plan. Ms. Eagan clarified that this year’s TDP was a basic update; however, next year will be a full revision. She added that HART is currently discussing an autonomous vehicle pilot program with FDOT and next year there will be the opportunity to have some excellent discussions. Committee Chair Melendez asked for suggestions from the Committee for the next Board meeting. He said that he would like to see some conclusions or recommendations at the end as well as a summary of impacts Committee member Crino asked that the presentation have more information about future plans. Legislative Services Contracts – Procurement Overview Mr. Alvin Burns, Director of Procurement and Contracts Administration, provided a summary of the procurement and selection process for State and Federal Legislative Services. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Committee member Crino inquired about the objectives of not exercising the options of the legislative contract services. Ms. Eagan clarified that there are two one year options remaining. Ms. Eagan emphasized that HART is not obligated to go back on the street for either contract; however, she feels it behooves the Agency to reexamine the federal contract. She asks that the Board discuss whether or not it is appropriate to exercise the option. Committee member Crino inquired how the Agency goes about hiring, rehiring, and/or soliciting. He stated that he would like to have the conversation focus on whether HART received the services that were specified and asks that the discussion is narrowed down per legislative objects. Committee member Jaroch concurred and added that she had spoken with Mr. Hernandez, Government Relations Specialist, who sent historic information on the Federal lobbying. Mr. Hernandez noted that numerous variables are to be considered while speaking about deliverables. He stated that one way to evaluate successful work of legislative support team is through their help in obtaining letters of support for HART and assisting in making connections for HART staff. Mr. Hernandez added that processes are changing on the federal level and that HART also needs to evolve. Committee member Jaroch commented that she is not attempting to cast aspersions; however, this is a new era of getting Federal dollars. She observed that over the last five years, she is unsure how much can be attributed to lobbyists as opposed to writing up a good grant. Committee member Crino requested that staff prepare a presentation about the Agency’s desired legislative strategies and objectives.

Committee member Jaroch commented that staff has done an excellent job and suggested that in a few years, all legislative strategies can be handled internally. Ms. Eagan confirmed that the Committee is requesting, at the July 18 Board meeting, staff will present an overview of the legislative strategies and objectives desired in a new contract as well as an evaluation of the current State and Federal services. She also commented that, in previous years, an Ad Hoc Committee was formed of Board members to evaluate proposals for legislative services and staff would like to obtain a consensus on whether the Board would like to change the process. Mr. Burns clarified that he discussed the Ad Hoc Committee with both Mr. Seward, HART CFO, and HART General Counsel Mr. Smith, and, based on their discussions, he recommends that one member of the Finance and Audit Committee act as oversight to a staff-comprised evaluation committee rather than establishing a separate Ad Hoc Committee of the Board. He added that this process was used during the selection of the legal services. Mr. Smith emphasized that the concern is that the Ad Hoc Committee would be comprised of Board members and the appellate body would be comprised of the same Board members. Committee member Jacob agreed that the recommendation is a good strategy. He further commented on the importance of representation with government bodies as he feels that the scorecard should not measure only what funding and connections are brought in, but also how they protect what HART already has established. Committee member Jacob emphasized that it is important to consider the overall strategy. Committee member Crino agreed with Committee member Jacob and added that he would feel comfortable with staff directing the decision with some oversight and clear objectives provided by a Board member. Committee member Jaroch suggested that the Board can be more involved in establishing the objectives and factors for evaluation, and that staff Committee would form recommendations to the Board. Committee member Jacob asked Mr. Burns whether there is a model with other local agencies where the interview, review, selection, and recommendation was made by staff and the Board made the final decision. Mr. Burns reported that he met with several agencies including Tampa International Airport and Hillsborough County and the recommended process is similar to those organizations. Mr. Smith explained that those meetings are what led to these discussions with a focus on process. He added that discussions of what HART wants and needs from a lobbyist are significant as sometimes there are legislators who want the same things. Mr. Burns stated that Mr. Hernandez provided a scope of work for both State and Federal services.

Committee member Crino clarified that he is not requesting the scope of work, just asking that the desired objectives are defined. Ms. Eagan reported that staff is hoping to convene a Legislative and Strategic Planning Committee prior to the next Board meeting. Committee Chair Melendez observed that staff recommendations appear to be one-sided and inquired whether staff recommends going out for only federal services or state as well. He commented that it is important to distinguish between the two contracts. Ms. Eagan stated that an emphasis to go out for federal services due to a change within the firm since the contract was entered. She added that HART previously solicited for both federal and state legislative services at the same time to allow the opportunity for one firm to bid on both. She commented that while she has enjoyed working with Advocacy Group, she feels that it would be negligent to not look at both contracts. Committee Chair Melendez stated that most of the discussion has been on the federal contract and, while there have been changes in federal processes since the initial contract, he asks that HART be sensitive to the fact that any changes in contracts should be done with transparency for both the state and federal services. Ms. Eagan reported that HART has very good relationships with Advocacy Group and that, since Mr. Hernandez was brought on board, the information that staff receives is very detailed and pays more attention to metrics. Committee Chair Melendez asked that the information be presented with a distinction between state, federal, and staff recommendations. He requested that Mr. Hernandez provide a summary of Advocacy Group’s efforts and achievements. He emphasized that legislative services is not only about funding and appropriations, but also about intelligence and relationships. Committee Chair Melendez cautioned staff to ensure that the less tangible aspects of the service are also being evaluated. Ms. Eagan responded that Mr. Burns has examined other procurement processes. She explained that PSTA added a subcontractor and increased the dollar amount which is not in line with HART procurement policies and that there are not many changes that can be enacted without a solicitation. Committee Chair Melendez commented that he would also be interested in a summarization of the return on investment. Mr. Hernandez reported that there were several successes on the state side such as being the lead agency in Florida in CNG technology and investment as well as relationships with legislative leaders and submitting a TIGER grant application with regional support. He added that he will prepare a more robust presentation with more detail to assist in making decisions. Committee member Crino commented that there are opportunities to create more ambitious plans for the future. He advised that groups that are able to facilitate building of relationships will be important to the Agency’s future and the ability to engage in the efforts.

Committee Chair Melendez remarked that Mr. Hernandez’s role is critical. He added that he also supports moving toward a staff directed evaluation committee, although he feels that oversight is a good idea and suggests more than one appointee for additional viewpoints. Mr. Smith stated that, given the time constraint, this discussion will be on the agenda at the July 18 Regular Board meeting. He clarified that the Board will need to decide whether to renew the existing contracts, and, if not, whether to handle advocacy internally or to bid for the service. Mr. Smith said the two contracts will need to be handled separately whether or not they are in one item. Committee member Jacob asked about any risk associated with choosing to exercise the option to renew. Mr. Smith said there was no risk. Committee Chair Melendez inquired whether these contracts can be handled at a staff level. Mr. Smith commented that historically, the Board has not delegated the renewal of legal, audit or lobbying services to be evaluated on the staff level. COMMITTEE ACTION ITEMS There was no quorum present. All action items were deferred to the July 18, 2016 Regular Board of Directors meeting. a. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) between Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for Transit Urban Corridor Funds to Assist with the Operating Cost of Route 51x – an Express Route Service Between New Tampa/South Pasco County to Downtown Tampa in the Amount of $412,255 b.

e. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) Between the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to Conduct a Premium Regional Transit Feasibility Study Committee member Jaroch inquired whether a contract award has been made. Ms. Eagan reported that solicitation closed on Thursday. Mr. Burns commented that a competitive solicitation is defined as receiving more than two proposals and that the solicitation is considered competitive. He added that he would like to keep comments and questions to a minimum until an award is made. f. Authorize the Execution of an Amendment to the Existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Between the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) and the Tampa Bay Regional Transportation Authority Extending the Termination Date Until February 28, 2018 g.

She explained that the contracts listed on the top of the page in bold lettering are the contracts that must come directly to the Board and that contracts and/or options that are under $100,000 will not come before the Board as staff is authorized to exercise them. Ms. Eagan commented that there are very few contracts with options that the Board would need to address. Mr. Burns explained the solicitation process for contracts that are not renewed or expired. He stated that a project manager is given a notification six months in advance that the contract is expiring. The solicitation process takes 90 days which does not account for any necessary Committee or Board action. Staff then submits a requisition for: RFP (request for proposal), RFQ (request for quote), or IFB (invitation for bid). Once the bids are received and staff is prepared to make a recommendation for award, a significant decision point is reached. Mr. Burns stated that he confers with Mr. Smith and Mr. Seward and procurements are classified as either routine such as fuel or parts, or non-routine such as legislative or consulting. Routine services do not need to come before the Board. All non-routine services and contracts over $100,000 are evaluated by the Board prior to award. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 10:43 a.m.

Investment Portfolio Overview

HART utilizes the State of Florida’s local government investment pool, Florida PRIME, as its primary source of cash holdings. Considered low-risk and conservative in its investment strategy, Florida PRIME allows HART to attain a higher yield compared to that of a typical bank cash-flow concentration account.

The Florida PRIME participation and portfolio composition for May 2016 are not currently available.
