PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS (3 MINUTES PER SPEAKER) No one signed up for public comment. PRESENTATION FY2017 Budget Overview and Revenue Growth Investment Discussion Mr. Jeff Seward, Chief Financial Officer, provided a brief update on the Proposed FY2017 Operating and Capital Budget that will be the subject of the two scheduled Public Hearings in September. Staff also provided an overview on recommendations for future ad valorem investment to align with organizational priorities. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Ms. Eagan added that in FY2017 some funds are designated to updating the TDP. She stated that this is a great time to come together on the agency’s priorities, both midterm and long term. Ms. Eagan commented that staff has done work to tie the budget together with the TDP. She reported that HART is hosting an event the next day to lead the conversation on regional initiatives for transportation. Ms. Eagan stated that there are other agencies across the country that are implementing many of the same innovations and modifications that HART has to overhaul the services offered to their communities. She observed that there have been several instances over the summer where discussions have focused on the agency’s investment strategies. Ms. Eagan stated that staff will continue to look to the Board requesting leadership in supporting the transportation vision. Committee member Bowers referred to the chart shown on slide 6, Continued Revenue Growth Investment FY2017, and inquired if the percentages are representative of the increase in revenues for the operating and capital budgets. Mr. Seward responded affirmatively. Committee Chair Melendez asked whether staff is confirming that the identified funds meet the parameters of the grants. Mr. Seward confirmed that staff checks the parameters before finalizing the list of projects. FY 2017 Proposed KPIs Ms. Ruthie Reyes Burckard, Chief Operating Officer, provided a brief update on the proposed KPI metrics for FY2017. The presentation supported Committee Action Item 2a- Approval of the Proposed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for FY2017. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Ms. Eagan commented that there have been discussions about nationwide ridership decline and reported that HART ridership is down 5-6 percent. She stated that she has spoken to other agencies and everyone is experiencing a contraction which could be contributed to numerous causes like lower gas prices or availability of various transportation options. Ms. Eagan

commented that HART will take certain steps over the next year to get ahead of the contraction. She observed that, while working on the TDP overhaul, staff will be able to use Voice of the Customer to ensure that current and/or former patrons are offered the services that are needed. Committee member Bowers inquired how HART can compensate for declining ridership when planning new services. Ms. Eagan responded that the median income of transportation users in Hillsborough County is approximately $15,000 and the assumption would be that the bigger losses would be seen on the express routes; however, the local routes serving low income areas are seeing the highest levels of decline. She stated that it is important to ensure that staff has the right data set, which is why Voice of the Customer will be beneficial. Ms. Eagan reported that it will also provide the opportunity to revisit some less productive services to determine whether there are other ways to serve those riders so the large vehicles can be reinvested where they are needed. Committee Chair Melendez commented that staff has done a great job identifying the national trend and where HART falls, through Voice of the Customer as one of the tools. Committee member Crino stated that he has not served on the Board long enough to see multiple cycles, but he wonders whether there is a countercyclical relationship between ridership and its correlation to national or regional economic growth. He suggested identifying whether there is a correlation as it may impact how HART talks to funders. Committee member Crino reported that he would like to see the agency get ahead of the next cycle. Ms. Eagan stated that staff will provide some more data at the next meeting. She reported that the ridership growth HART experienced from 2010-2015 far exceeded the national standards; however, the increase in ridership was higher than the degree of the impact the area experienced due to recession. Ms. Eagan explained that there were late night and weekend improvements in the years leading up to 2010 that, objectively, should have grown ridership. She stated that staff will come back with more information on the Florida and national economy. Ms. Eagan cautioned that, if the increases and decreases are cyclical, HART should avoid making drastic changes now as staff may be coming before the Board in another two or three years recommending that service needs to revert back to the current level. Ms. Eagan referred the Committee members to the graph on slide 11 regarding the Mean Distance Between Failures. She advised that the numbers from 2010-2012 is a reflection of fleet age. Ms. Eagan reported that HART purchased approximately 60 new vehicles in 2009 and the expectation is to see fewer accidents or incidents. She advised that HART uses buses up to 15 years and there is always the discussion about whether to make the capital investment to purchase new buses or to keep maintaining the current fleet on the road. Committee member Jacob inquired whether staff tracks the percentage of time that vehicles of certain ages are out of service for maintenance issues and whether there is a maximum life based on those records. Ms. Reyes Burckard reported that maintenance schedules are tracked and there are certain things that happen based on the life of the vehicle. She added that the maximum life per FTA is 12

years and can be extended to 15. Ms. Reyes Burckard stated that staff can bring back a more defined schedule. Committee member Jacob advised he would also like to look at adding or changing a category to look at other opportunities in the community to fill in service needs. Committee member Jacob suggested examining options to fill the gap left between Uber and PTC. Ms. Eagan advised that implementing innovative services has been added to the agency performance scorecard and the goal has been met at three new services. She reported that while the metric currently exists, the rideshare market falls outside the bounds of public transit. Ms. Eagan stated that staff will need to continue looking at the tools that HART currently has, such as HyperLINK, as well as future innovations that can make meeting the community’s needs possible. COMMITTEE ACTION ITEMS a. Approval of the Proposed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for FY2017 Committee member Crino moved and Committee member Jacob seconded the approval of action item 2a - Approval of the Proposed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for FY2017; and advancing this item to the September 12, 2016 full Board of Directors meeting.

COMMITTEE ACTION ITEM Approval of Revisions to HART Board Policies: Sections 120.02 Section 4 (c) - HART Organization- General Organization of HART- Committees; 120.03 – Officers; and 130 – HART Organization- Duties of Officers Section 130.1 - Chair OVERVIEW These revisions are intended to update policies to reflect current practices and meet operational and legal requirements. RECOMMENDATION That the Joint Finance & Audit and Governance, Administration & Operations Committee review the action item recommending approval of revisions to HART Board Policies: Sections 120.02 Section 4 (c) - HART Organization- General Organization of HART- Committees; 120.03 – Officers, and 130 – HART Organization- Duties of Officers Section 130.1 - Chair; and advance this item to the full HART Board of Directors at the November 7, 2016 regular Board meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT None. BACKGROUND Per HART Board Policy 320.01: Procedure for Amendment of Policies, the Board may from time to time amend these Policies or other procedures. The amendment process shall be initiated by an affirmative vote of the Board of Directors. Both the Officers’ Election process and the HART Board Committee structures have been modified to take effect in 2016. Based on the previous recommendations by the Ad Hoc Committee on Rule of Procedures, Committee structures were changed. On January 4, 2016, during the 2016 election of HART Officers and vote on HART Board appointments to other Boards and HART Board Committees the HART Board members voted to change both the elections process and the Committee structures for 2016. Changes include the new policy regarding Board Officers’ composition and eligibility as one elected county representative, one elected municipal representative, and one non-elected representative. Following the election of Regular Board of Directors Officers, appointments to Committees and External Board appointments will be made by the Regular Board of Directors Chair. Officers within the Committees will be elected at the first Committees meetings, with the exception of the Executive Committee. Membership of the Executive Committee is designated for all Committees Chairs and Regular Board of Directors Officers. Staff has worked with HART General Counsel to identify needed revisions and draft revised policy language. The proposed revisions to the HART Board Policies are intended to update current policies to reflect current practices and meet operational and legal requirements.

HART Board Policies to be addressed are as follows:

HART Board Policy Section Proposed Revisions

100 HART Organization

120.02 Subsection 4 (c) - Committees

Additional of subsection (c).

Outlines composition and responsibilities of HART Executive Committee

120.03 - Officers Defines Officers election process, Board Officers’ composition and eligibility as one elected county representative, one elected municipal representative, and one non-elected representative to the extent such representatives are available and willing to serve. If such representatives are not available or willing to serve, any Board Member may be elected to serve as an officer.

130.1 - Chair Defines duties of Chair in Committee membership appointment, specifying that HART Committees leadership will be elected by the committees’ members at their first scheduled meeting.

Clerk of the Board established an amendment development, review and adoption schedule. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR DISCUSSION The HART Board of Directors reviewed the proposed revisions to the HART Board Policies at their regular Board meeting on September 12, 2016. There was some discussion concerning whether the Board had already acted on the policies and therefore it was not “in order” to be heard again. HART General Counsel David Smith said as such, the records should be reviewed before any additional action is taken. Ms. Jaroch, the maker of the motion to alter the policy, agreed to table her motion. Staff’s review of the file found the following: The records indicate that during the May 4, 2015 regular meeting, the Board members voted to approve the Ad Hoc Committee recommendations, one of which was that HART Board Officers positions be assigned to one County elected representative, one elected representative from municipalities, and one non-elected representative.

Directors. The issue for further action therefore, was the implementation of that action in the written policies themselves. After the discussion during the September 12 Board meeting, Mr. Smith suggests that the issue that is to be addressed further is such situations when there is no County or City elected or a nonelected volunteer during the Election process. The following additional language is proposed for the Board’s consideration at the September 26 regular Board meeting: 120.03 OFFICERS (1) There shall be elected by the Board, from among the members of the Board, a Chair, a Vice Chair, and a Secretary at the first January meeting each year through an open process, with nominations accepted from the floor. General Counsel is to chair the election process as a neutral party. HART Board Officers positions are to be filled by at least one County elected representative, one elected representative from municipalities, and one non-elected representative, to the extent such representatives are available and willing to serve. If such representatives are not available or willing to serve, any Board Member may be elected to serve as an officer. NEXT STEPS Present recommendation by the Governance, Administration, and Operations Committee to the full HART Board of Directors at the November 7, 2016 regular Board meeting.

Hillsborough Transit Authority Joint Finance & Audit and

COMMITTEE ACTION ITEM Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute an Agreement between HART and Tindale Oliver & Associates to Conduct a Transit Development Plan (TDP) and Comprehensive Operations Analysis (COA) for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $475,000 for a 14 Month Period

OVERVIEW HART developed a scope of services for a Request for Proposal for consultant services to conduct a major update Transit Development Plan (TDP) and Comprehensive Operations Analysis (COA). The TDP is a requirement of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and a major update is required every five-years.

RECOMMENDATION That the Joint Finance & Audit and Governance, Administration & Operations Committee review the action item authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to Execute an Agreement between HART and Tindale Oliver & Associates to Conduct a Transit Development Plan (TDP) and Comprehensive Operations Analysis (COA) for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $475,000 for a 14 Month Period; and advance this item to the full HART Board of Directors at the November 7, 2016 regular Board meeting

FINANCIAL IMPACT Study duration is estimated to be no longer than 14-months, with TDP due to FDOT by September 1, 2017 and COA due to HART by December 31, 2017. HART has dedicated $475,000 for the project in the FY2017 budget from Section 5307 federal formula funds.

BACKGROUND HART’s major update was due in FY 2016 but FDOT granted a one-year delay to allow completion of the Go Hillsborough process. A COA is normally completed every eight to ten years. HART’s last COA was completed in 2003.

The TDP is a requirement of FDOT in order to receive Block Grant and other FDOT funding. A major update of the TDP is required every five years. Normally, HART’s major TDP update would have been performed in FY2016. However, due to the Go Hillsborough initiative, FDOT granted a one-year delay in the submittal of the major TDP update. The major update requires additional public outreach and ridership modeling via T-BEST (FDOT modeling tool). By rule, the TDP is to be submitted to FDOT by September 1, although HART is usually granted an extension to October 1 in order to coincide with the budget process. The TDP is also required by the Federal Transit Administration to initiate the planning process for potential FTA funded projects.

The COA is a comprehensive assessment of the transit system including potential route changes to improve efficiency and coverage, identification of existing and future transit needs, development of future transit service plans, and estimation of future operating and capital costs. It has been 13 years since the prior COA was performed at HART. The due date on the COA will be December 31, 2017.

It is fortunate timing that the major update TDP and COA will occur in the same year. This will allow for better coordination between the plans and to achieve some economies by performing the TDP and COA together. The TDP and COA will be two separate documents.

PROCUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS On August 5, 2016, RFP-20918 was issued in compliance with HART’s procurement policies and included all federally required clauses. The solicitation was advertised in the Tampa Tribune, the Florida Sentinel and LaGaceta and was posted on HART’s website and DemandStar with direct notices sent to 22 vendors that could provide the services. The solicitation was accessed from HART’s website by 33 firms and/or individuals and from DemandStar by 21 firms and/or individuals.

Three proposals were received by the deadline of September 7, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. The proposals were found to be responsive to the solicitation requirements.

The proposals were evaluated by an evaluation committee of members from HART, Hillsborough MPO, Hillsborough County, and Tampa Downtown Partnership. The evaluation criteria, specified below, was used to identify the most qualified firm to perform the services:

• 350 Points - Qualifications of the Firm and/or Team • 500 Points - Work Plan • 150 Points - Relevant Projects Total Technical Points – 1,000

The three firms scored as follows:

TINDALE OLIVER & ASSOCIATES 852 NELSON/NYGAARD, INC. 776

JRB SOLUTIONS, LLC 757

Following discussion and evaluation, the Evaluation Team recommended that HART enter into negotiations with Tindale Oliver & Associates, the number one ranked firm.

Procurement staff is negotiating a price that is determined to be fair and reasonable and is in line with the Independent Cost Estimate. Tindale Oliver & Associates was verified to have an active business license and able to conduct business in the State of Florida. There were no exclusions on SAM.gov for and it was determined that Tindale Oliver & Associates has the capacity to perform the work and are, therefore, eligible for award.

The term of the contract is 14-months from date of award and includes all of HART’s standard contract provisions.

NEXT STEPS Present recommendation by the Joint Finance & Audit and Governance, Administration & Operations Committee to the HART Board of Directors at the November 7, 2016 Board meeting.

The current ATU Local 1593 contract expired on September 30, 2015. A successor labor contract is required to govern the terms and conditions of employment for members of the ATU Local 1593 bargaining unit, beginning October 1, 2015. RECOMMENDATION That the Joint Finance & Audit and Governance, Administration & Operations Committee review the action item authorization to ratify the labor contract with Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1593 (ATU) and authorize the Chairperson of the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer to execute the contract with ATU Local 1593 for the period from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2015; and advance this item to the November 7, 2016 Regular Board of Directors meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT The economic wage impact of this three year contract is approximated at $4,137,252. (FY2016=$1,630,215; FY2017=$1,134,647; and FY2018=$1,372,390). There is additional budgetary impact of $1,316,399 of non-wage related items. (See item list below) Total impact to the 3 year budget is an additional $5,453,651. BACKGROUND The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1593 (ATU) represents the employees in the Transportation and Maintenance departments. Currently there are 634 employees employed in ATU represented positions. These positions include Bus and Van Operators, Technicians, Customer Service Representatives, Storekeepers and Service Attendants. HART and ATU are parties to a collective bargaining agreement which sets forth the terms and conditions of employment for ATU represented positions. The existing 2012 - 2015 year contract expired on September 30, 2015. In April 2016, the HART bargaining team commenced negotiations with ATU towards a successor collective bargaining agreement. HART staff and the ATU’s contract bargaining committee met multiple times over a six month period. The parties tentatively agreed to a successor contract on September 8, 2016. On September 28, 2016, the ATU bargaining unit voted by a majority to ratify the contract.

COMMITTEE ACTION ITEM Authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to Amend the Adopted Fiscal Year 2017 Operating Budget by $3,651,442

OVERVIEW This amendment to the FY2017 operating budget is twofold. First, it will fund two years of the new three year labor contract between HART and ATU Local 1593, from the period of October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2017, in the amount of $3,540,942. The financial impact of this contract was unknown at the time of the FY2017 budget adoption on September 26, 2016. Second, it will fund the addition of a full-time employee (FTE), a Network Security Engineer, in the amount of $110,500. This position is necessary due to updated and upgraded network infrastructure, and critical to properly maintain resources in a secure operating environment.

RECOMMENDATION That the Finance & Audit and Governance, Administration & Operations Committees review the action item authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to amend the adopted Fiscal Year 2017 Operating Budget by $3,651,442; and advance this item to the full HART Board of Directors at the November 7, 2016 regular Board meeting.

FINANCIAL IMPACT The funding source for this amendment is operating reserves. The impact of the new ATU contract of $3,540,942 includes both retroactive payments for FY2016 and obligations for FY2017. Categories of payments include wages, vacation pay, deferred compensation, time allowances, insurances, uniforms, and tool allowances. The impact of the additional FTE will increase the overall staff headcount in FY2017 to 842.31 and salaries and fringes by $110,500. The amended FY2017 operating budget will be $76,366,808.

BACKGROUND An increase in the annual appropriations, which were not budgeted in the current fiscal year, requires an amendment to the budget and must be approved by the HART Board of Directors per Board Policy 920.30(2)(a) and Florida Statutes: Chapters 129.06 (2)(d, e) and Chapter 189.418.

NEXT STEPS Present recommendation by the Finance & Audit and Governance, Administration & Operations Committees to the full HART Board of Directors at the November 7, 2016 regular Board meeting.

RESOLUTION #R2016-11-XX A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TO AMEND THE ADOPTED FISCAL YEAR 2017 OPERATING BUDGET BY $3,651,442

WHEREAS, the HART Operating Budget is a well-calculated estimate as to what will be needed for operating expenses in the fiscal year; and

WHEREAS, operating budget estimates are often prepared months in advance of the actual

expenses and/or solicitation for services and the possibility that the actual amount of the expenses will be known in exact terms at the time of the budget preparation is unlikely; and

by $3,651,442 as set forth in Attachment “II”.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE HILLSBOROUGH TRANSIT AUTHORITY THAT:

Section 1. The budget amendment is hereby adopted to increase the operating budget; and shall amend the original budget adopted September 26, 2016, from and after the effective date of this resolution.

Section 2. That all provisions of the Resolutions of the HART Board of Director, in conflict with the provisions of this Resolution are, and the same are hereby, repealed, and all other provisions not to conflict with the provisions of this Resolution shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 3. The proper officers of HART are authorized to do all things necessary and required

in order to implement the changes as specified. Section 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
