NIRPC Full Commission Meeting 6100 Southport Road, Portage, IN July 20, 2017
Vice Chairman Geof Benson called the meeting to order at 9:10 a.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance and self-introductions. Michael Griffin resumed Chairing the meeting.
Commissioners present included Christopher Anderson, Jeannette Bapst, Geof Benson, Tim Bietry, Jim Biggs, Kevin Breitzke, Robert Carnahan, Bill Emerson, Jr., Don Ensign, Will Farrellbegg, Thomas Fath, Karen Freeman-Wilson, Michael Griffin, Richard Hardaway, Jack Jeralds, Justin Kiel, Cary Kirkham, Andrew Kyres, Nick Meyer, Richard Mrozinski, Diane Noll, Rick Ryfa, Tom Schmitt, Dave Shafer, Ed Soliday, Joe Stahura, Greg Stinson, Mary Tanis, Jim Ton and George Topoll. Lyndsay Quist was present from INDOT.
Guests present included Justin Mount, Matt Deitchley, Julie Ritzler, Lisa Shrader, Mary Enright, Jean Manna, David Wright, Mike Yacullo, Joseph Crnkovich, Beth Jacobson, Sharon King, Jill Murr, Randy Strasser, Ismail Attallah, Susan Weber, Joyce Newland, Antonio Johnson, Christopher Murphy, Denarie Kane and Tim Zorn.
Staff present included Ty Warner, Kathy Luther, Angie Hayes, Mitch Barloga, Scott Weber, Gary Evers, Eman Ibrahim, James Winters, Gabrielle Biciunas, Sarah Geinosky, Amanda Pollard, Jody Melton and Mary Thorne.
On a motion by Geof Benson and a second by Justin Kiel, the minutes of the June 15 Executive Board meeting were approved by the Commission.
David Wright, Gary Public Transportation Corporation, relayed GPTC’s request for confirmation from the FTA/FHWA that the NIRPC Board membership satisfies the FAST Act in regards to representation by GPTC and NICTD. He also made an appeal for NIRPC’s leadership capacity in supporting public transportation. He indicated that in 2017-2018 GPTC would be rolling out a significant increase in transit on the Broadway corridor, adding service to Merrillville with Merrillville’s fiscal involvement, and putting buses in the vicinity of the Purdue Research Center. While 2017 was planned to be a watershed year in transit growth, GPTC has been forced to look at the possibility of reducing transit service in other parts of their service area. The GPTC Board approved the provisional suspension of service to Lake Shore South, which connects downtown Hammond to Munster and Highland. Local match is needed for transit routes in the communities of Hammond, Munster, Highland, and also Whiting. GPTC asked the NIRPC Commission to be active in the conversation to prevent these reductions in service. Commissioners Carnahan and Ton both spoke of support for not reducing service. Commissioner Freeman-Wilson said the opportunity for NIRPC is as a convener and facilitator of this discussion, as there are federal dollars GPTC is unable to spend because of a lack of local funds. Chair Michael Griffin asked the NIRPC Executive Director to assist in bringing these communities and GPTC together to ascertain what the exact “ask” is in needed funding.
Michael Griffin said he represented NIRPC on June 22 at a ribbon cutting for the 61st Street and Wisconsin Avenue roundabout project in Hobart. Griffin presented lapel pins featuring the NIRPC logo to the Commissioners; gold NIRPC pins were presented to current and former NIRPC Chairs. Griffin relayed that these will identify and communicate pride in NIRPC.
Ty Warner thanked everyone who attended the Open House on June 15, and he thanked the representatives from FHWA, FTA and INDOT for the last two days spent with them during NIRPC’s certification review. Warner also asked all to complete the electronic survey that had been distributed as part of the certification review. The next Board meeting will be on September 21 at 9 a.m. Ty Warner presented staff service awards to Kathy Luther for 10 years, Amanda Pollard for 10 years, and Sarah Geinosky for 5 years of service. He announced Amanda Pollard would be moving on to other work and that this would be Gary Evers’ last Commission meeting as he will be taking his retirement.
Ratio Architects and Butler, Fairman & Seufert presented the I-65 & US 30 Corridor Safety Plan, an estimated $40-45 million cyclist and pedestrian-friendly corridor enhancement plan which could include a tunnel, shuttle service and two bridges designed to improve safety, increase access to the area and reduce traffic congestion on US 30.
Karen Freeman-Wilson reported that the State Board of Accounts performed a clean audit. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) will be available electronically. A budget amendment in the amount of $22,500 was recommended by the Committee that would transfer funds from salaries to contractual for the purchase and implementation of E-TIP software. On a motion by Kevin Breitzke and a second by Bob Carnahan, the Commission voted to approve the budget amendment.
Geof Benson said the committee will meet on August 3 at 9 a.m. to hear a presentation from NIPSCO on LED streetlight replacement.
Kevin Breitzke reported that the Technical Planning Committee met last Tuesday and heard a presentation on the air, water and land quality goals of the 2040 Comprehensive Regional Plan. The public comment report on the US 30/I-65 Safety Plan was included in the materials. On a motion by Jim Ton and a second by Geof Benson, the Commission voted to adopt Resolution 17-16, adopting the US 30/I-65 Safety Plan.
Gary Evers explained the projects in the first amendment to the FY 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program. On a motion by Geof Benson and a second by Jim Ton, the Commission voted to adopt Resolution 17-17, Amendment #1 to the FY 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program.
The next meeting of the Technical Planning Committee is scheduled for September 12 at 9 a.m. at NIRPC.
Ty Warner said the committee will meet on Monday, July 24 at 1:00 p.m. at NIRPC.
Reporting for Rick Powers, Lyndsay Quist said all construction work is continuing for the betterment of the region.
Federal Highway Administration/Federal Highway Administration
Joyce Newland thanks NIRPC staff for the tour of the region Tuesday which showcased transportation challenges and projects in the region and in the TIP and the implementation of the 2040 Plan, livable communities, and transit projects. The public comment meeting held last night voiced concerns about
social issues. NIRPC was commended on promoting bike and ped and livable communities initiatives throughout the region. NIRPC’s bike/ped efforts are in accordance with the FHWA’s goals to reduce deaths to zero. INDOT and all the MPOs in the state are working together on performance measures. One corrective action will be made on the Coordinated Public Transit Human Service Transportation Plan, which was a recommendation in the last certification and review and should be updated. Additional public comment on NIRPC’s certification will be taken at 11 a.m. following this meeting in the NIRPC Lake Michigan Room, and in Michigan City at 1:30 p.m.
Michael Griffin indicated that an ad hoc committee will be formed to develop by-laws, which Newland said would also be one of the recommendations.
Ed Soliday said the Governor is traveling the state announcing a five-year plan for state roads for the entire state and it is available online. It does not include $350 million which is also being made available to local government. The entire plan is $30 billion over 20 years, none of which is debt. Porter County will get about $40 million and the money needs to be spent on regional road connectivity to offload congestion on roads like US 30.
Bob Carnahan said Lakeshore Public Radio needs to raise $107,356 to avoid a deficit by September 30, or the station will face loss of programming. He asked Commissioners to make personal donations to the station.
Bob Carnahan provided a program on the free South Shore Summer Music Festival showing rain locations.
Geof Benson added that there will also be a concert on August 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore or Chesterton High School if it rains.
Ty Warner clarified that the I-65 & US 30 safety study was done only with designated safety money to address safe access to the corridor. NIRPC has done a regional corridor study earlier which identifies road gaps which, when filled, would relieve congestion on major roads like US 30. Karen Freeman-Wilson added that there are people who rely on bicycles to get to work or to shop because they do not have another option.
Cary Kirkham announced that the LaPorte local rotary club is bringing in the Lake City Skiers on Pine Lake this Saturday night. It is the only competitive water skiing show in Indiana.
Bill Emerson said the Cline Avenue Bridge is a connector which will relieve congestion on local roads and voiced his desire to see a resolution of support.
Geof Benson announced a memorial celebration of life will be held for Dale Engquist on August 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dunes Learning Center.

Karen Freeman-Wilson, Chair Ty Warner
Richard Hardaway Kathy Luther
Diane Noll Meredith Stilwell
Dave Shafer Dave Hollenbeck
The meeting was called to order at 8:05 a.m. by Dave Shafer.
Dave Shafer presented the minutes of the May 18, 2017 meeting. Upon a motion by Bob Carnahan, seconded by Greg Stinson, the Committee approved the minutes.
Angie Hayes reported that Kelly Wenger is no longer employed with NIRPC and has gone to work for NICTD. The Financial reports were reviewed. Angie reported she has had issues with some vendors in regard to receiving billings in a timely manner which resulted in the reports only being through May 31 instead of June 30. NIRPC has received all 2017 county distributions. The Indiana State Board of Accounts audit of NIRPC has been completed with no audit findings or comments. A link to the 2016 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) will be sent by email.
Dave Shafer presented the claims register to the Committee for approval. Upon a motion by Bob Carnahan, seconded by Greg Stinson, the Committee approved the claims register.
Attorney Contract Scope of Work Discussion
Angie Hayes presented the scope of work and evaluation criteria for procuring an attorney for NIRPC. Upon a motion by Greg Stinson, seconded by Richard Hardaway, the Committee accepted the Scope of Work and evaluation criteria as presented. An RFP will be released by August 1, 2017 with responses due by September 1, 2017. The RFPs will be reviewed at the
September Finance and Personnel Committee meeting unless a special meeting is requested by the Committee based on number of responses received.
NIRPC Meeting Room Rental Policy Discussion
Angie Hayes initiated a discussion regarding how NIRPC should handle the renting out of meeting rooms. A suggestion was made to set a fee and use the amount as in-kind for non- profit/governmental use of the rooms and charge for-profit entities for use. Dave Hollenbeck will look into how the building lease reads.
Accufund Contract Extension
Angie Hayes presented contract Amendment 4, to extend the contract between Accufund, Inc. and NIRPC until December 31, 2017. The extension would allow for dashboarding reports to be set up. There is a cost savings for extending the contract rather than entering into a new contract. Upon motion by Bob Carnahan, seconded by Greg Stinson, the Committee approved the contract extension with Accufund, Inc.
Karen Freeman-Wilson presented 2017 budget Amendment 4 to transfer $22,500 from salaries to contractual for the purchase and implementation of new E-TIP software for the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Upon motion by Bob Carnahan, seconded by Greg Stinson, the Committee approved budget amendment 4.

Bob Carnahan, who is on the Advisory Board of Lakeshore Public Media, announced that they are $96m in the red and are looking for ways to attract money. They are also looking to move their antennae from Lake Dale to Merrillville for better reception for the Chicago area which hopefully could encourage Chicago sponsors.
Ty Warner announced that the positions of Director of Transportation and Regional Planner/Policy Analyst have been posted with closing dates at the end of July. These positions are to replace Steve Strains who retired and James Winters who changed positions and is now the Transit Planner for NIRPC.

PART II. SCOPE OF WORK
EcoInteractive will provide the ProjectTracker SaaS solution for the NIRPC to access over the Internet for use by NIRPC and their member agencies/stakeholders to manage TIP transportation projects. NIRPC is requesting EcoInteractive’s standard level of service. This proposal is for services only (NIRPC receives no deliverables for this project and no professional services or works for hire are included). No subcontractors, DBEs, or travel are included or will be utilized in this scope of work.
Phase 1: One-time customizations for NIRPC’s specific needs
EcoInteractive will invest up to 200 hours over the first six months for customizations, data import, and initial start-up services. EcoInteractive is committed to a long-term relationship with NIRPC and it is important for this process to meet your requirements. EcoInteractive considers these one-time costs as an EcoInteractive investment in the ProjectTracker SaaS solution for NIRPC. EcoInteractive is offering NIRPC an annual ProjectTracker SaaS package that includes:
TIP & LRTP Project Modules (includes amendment/adoption process)
Obligation tracking module,
Document management module,
GIS module,
Flexible, dynamic reporting module,
Public web site module
Call For Projects Module
A fixed monthly subscription fee will be billed at the end of each month following contract initiation. During the first few weeks, EcoInteractive will give access to the new ProjectTracker SaaS established for NIRPC. Following the software installation and web site creation, EcoInteractive will import NIRPC data and NIRPC will begin to review the functionality of the ProjectTracker SaaS. During weekly online meetings, NIRPC will identify needed customizations to adapt the software to NIRPC business processes. Implementation and scheduling is discussed below.
Phase 1: Tasks & Milestones
EcoInteractive has proposed the following 6-month timeline. NIRPC may adjust or reprioritize the order in which modules are implemented. On-going SaaS will begin immediately following the completion of the Phase 1.
This is a standard part of the six-month customization process for ProjectTracker SaaS. EcoInteractive will utilize internal tool sets and our extensive experience and talented staff to support this data conversion and migration from multiple disparate data systems. EcoInteractive has implemented the ProjectTracker SaaS solution for many customers in less than six months. This includes migration of
historical data from disparate sources into the new ProjectTracker SaaS. EcoInteractive has worked with many historical datasets as well as successfully integrated data from other internal databases and external sources. EcoInteractive’s extensive knowledge of transportation data helps insure that our staff can quickly understand and use internal tools to import data into the ProjectTracker SaaS to meet the NIRPC’s unique needs. EcoInteractive is uniquely qualified for this project as EcoInteractive has routinely completed many other similar projects for transportation agencies with great success. EcoInteractive expects to establish the NIRPC's ProjectTracker SaaS infrastructure in the first 4 weeks. An initial customized version of ProjectTracker SaaS, including the upload of NIRPC data, will be up and running within the first 12 - 16 weeks of contract award.
Phase 2: Provide Ongoing ProjectTracker SaaS for NIRPC
EcoInteractive is committed to providing long-term ProjectTracker SaaS to NIRPC. EcoInteractive will continue to bill the same fixed monthly subscription fee as it did in Phase 1 for Phase 2. The monthly SaaS subscription fee will cover Software maintenance, SaaS hosting, help desk support, and include a package of up to 120 support hours annually that can be used to make enhancements to the system including (but not limited to) new reports, help desk support, tracking new values, or modifying business rules. The help desk allows clients to meet changing user requirements for the duration of the contract. The help desk provides fast response and quick turnaround technical support.
The annual fee is expected to be a complete package covering secure site, public portal, maintenance, helpdesk support, hosting, security, business rule changes, and software changes/enhancements. The annual fee includes up to 120 hours per year for additional technical support. Future annual pricing shall include a small increase in SaaS fees (similar to CPI) to offset the rate of inflation.
12 months ProjectTracker SaaS*
EcoInteractive will invoice $3,750 monthly (for year 1 service following contract award)
12 months ProjectTracker SaaS EcoInteractive will invoice $3,750 monthly
*This includes the ProjectTracker SaaS initial 6-month startup where EcoInteractive invests up to 200 hours to complete implementation and customization.
Optional Year 4
12 months ProjectTracker SaaS EcoInteractive will invoice $3,862 monthly
Optional Year 5
12 months ProjectTracker SaaS EcoInteractive will invoice $3,978 monthly
** Includes a small increase in SaaS fees (similar to CPI) to offset the rate of inflation.
Assumptions for this fee schedule:
Software Ownership - EcoInteractive will provide the ProjectTracker SaaS solution for the NIRPC as a service over the Internet for use by NIRPC and their member agencies/stakeholders to manage eTIP transportation projects. This proposal is for services only (NIRPC receives no deliverables for this project). To the extent that EcoInteractive, Inc. utilizes any of its property (including, without limitation, the EcoInteractive, Inc Technology, ProjectTracker software, or any hardware or software of EcoInteractive, Inc) in connection with the performance of services hereunder, such property shall remain the property of EcoInteractive, Inc. and, except for the use expressly granted in this engagement, the NIRPC and their member agencies, shall acquire no right or interest in such property. Nothing in this Agreement or proposal shall be construed as precluding or limiting in any way the right of EcoInteractive, Inc. to provide services of any kind or nature whatsoever to any person or entity as EcoInteractive, Inc. in its sole discretion deems appropriate. In addition, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or proposal to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) EcoInteractive, Inc will own all right, title, and interest, including, without limitation, all rights under all copyright, patent and other intellectual property laws, in and to the EcoInteractive, Inc. Technology and (b) EcoInteractive, Inc may employ, modify, disclose, and otherwise exploit the EcoInteractive, Inc. Technology (including, without limitation, providing services or creating programming or materials for other clients).
NIRPC will own and be responsible for the quality of data in the customized ProjectTracker SaaS application at all times.
NIRPC will identify in writing any confidential information or data.
NIRPC will not enter or track medical records; personnel records, home addresses and phone numbers of any person, social security numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers or any other Personal Credit Information or Personally Identifiable Information in the ProjectTracker SaaS.
NIRPC will be responsible for authorizing access to the ProjectTracker SaaS system for their staff, member agencies, and other users.
NIRPC will provide a key point of contact to act as the interface between EcoInteractive and NIRPC.
At end of the contract period, if the SaaS fees are not renewed, or the contract is terminated, EcoInteractive will transfer all data files to NIRPC (in MS Access, DBF or other standard data format), and the ProjectTracker SaaS web site will be taken offline.
ProjectTracker SaaS will provide access to an electronic street map GIS interface. NIRPC will provide other GIS map data (and any licenses required), which NIRPC wants to use in the ProjectTracker SaaS online mapping/database applications.
EcoInteractive’s liability for damages to NIRPC for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of action, whether in Contract or in tort, shall be limited to 12 months of service fees.

NIPSCO LED Light Changeout Program – Dr. Bob Kramer, Purdue Northwest
Dr. Kramer presented on NIPSCO’s plan to change out their high pressure sodium lighting with LED lighting. Many slides of various data in support of the LED change out were shown. Purdue University Northwest Hammond Campus Energy Efficiency and Reliability Center received a grant from Indiana Municipality Utility Group (IMUG) to research options implementing new street lighting technology while coordinating with NIPSCO. Over the next few years, NIPSCO is equipping all of its streetlights with LED technology. The new, light-emitting diode fixtures are brighter and more efficient than the high-pressure sodium lights being replaced. In answer to a request for emissions efficiency information by Kathy Luther, Dr. Kramer said he would provide the answers to her as soon as possible. For more information contact Dr. Kramer @219-989-2147 or at kramerro@pnw.edu.
Dark Sky Program at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore – Larry Silvestri, International Dark Sky Association
Mr. Silvestri said the Milky Way can be seen from Kemil Beach and added that the National Lakeshore is the third most diverse biologically of the 52 national parks, home to 30% of all Indiana’s native species. The National Lakeshore serves 10 million people throughout the region and is a cultural and aesthetic resource. Dark skies are very important to wildlife and its habitat. A designation as an International Dark Sky Park would increase ecotourism and raise the profile of Northwest Indiana. Letters of support were submitted to the International Dark Sky Association by Larry Silvestri, the National Park Service in Porter, Indiana, Rep. Scott Pelath, Save the Dunes Council, and Michigan City Mayor Ron Meer. It was requested that the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission adopt and submit a resolution of support to the Indiana Dark Sky Association that the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore become a Dark Sky International Park. On a motion by Reggie Korthals and a second by Richard Morrisroe, the presentation of a draft
resolution of support by the NIRPC Board for the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore to become a Dark Sky International Park was approved.
With regard to the NIPSCO LED Light Changeout Program, several comments of concern were submitted by Susan Adams of Ogden Dunes regarding the reduction of lumens to between 3,000 and 4,000 and a lack of any reporting as to the considerable impact on wildlife.
Comments in favor of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore were submitted by Alan and Rosemary Bell of Beverly Shores.
Announcements for upcoming events and meetings will be forwarded to the EMPC Committee email list.
The next meeting of the Environmental Management Policy Committee will be held on September 7, 2017 at 9 a.m.
Hearing no other business, Chairman Benson adjourned the meeting at 11:25 a.m.
Note: On August 14, Dr. Kramer emailed the following information to Kathy Luther:
The following are CO2 savings for the retrofit of the HPS street lights to LED. These values should be considered general estimates since an EPA generic coal unit was used for the emission rates. The comparison between CCTs was done assuming the respective efficiency values for the 150W HPS replacement LED unit for all the luminaires with the same light output levels for the LEDs. These are recent values but they are still somewhat in flux. The values that follow are the equilibrium numbers after all the lights are changed out. During the installation period the number would scale at a rate of 1/6 per year.
HPS replaced with 4000K LED = savings of 13,864 Tonnes CO2e/year HPS replaced with 3000K LED = savings of 13,517 Tonnes CO2e/year HPS replaced with 2700K LED = savings of 13,171 Tonnes CO2e/year
