--> 00:17:04,533 Anyway, all across the Big 10, this is what's happening now. 353 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,533 So we're entering a new paradigm in terms of how 354 00:17:08,033 --> 00:17:10,367 non-football events are being scheduled there. 355 00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:14,533 So they're planning to benchmark the best practices. 356 00:17:14,934 --> 00:17:16,634 So that was that. 357 00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:21,266 I also attended the Centre County MPO, 358 00:17:21,266 --> 00:17:23,467 Metro Metropolitan Planning Organization 359 00:17:23,467 --> 00:17:24,734 Technical Committee.

the public to bear with me 363 00:17:32,934 --> 00:17:34,100 as I get up to speed on this. 364 00:17:35,033 --> 00:17:37,033 The meeting was nearly two hours long. 365 00:17:38,567 --> 00:17:40,100 I guess the highlights there, there was a, 366 00:17:40,533 --> 00:17:44,066 a Cass Consent Agenda approved, which included a bunch 367 00:17:44,066 --> 00:17:45,467 of reports and of course the 368 00:17:45,734 --> 00:17:47,066 minutes from the previous meeting. 369 00:17:47,533 --> 00:17:51,133 Kevin James, the project manager, SCAC project manager, 370 00:17:51,567 --> 00:17:53,367 provided an

--> 00:18:02,634 that two lane 3 22 situation where it stands right now. 374 00:18:03,667 --> 00:18:05,000 The plan is that final draft. 375 00:18:05,367 --> 00:18:08,634 I'll have a 30 day Public

00:19:12,634 for the top of the mountain. 397 00:19:12,734 --> 00:19:15,300 The port mountaintop Route 3 22. 398 00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:17,734 There's a pull off for trucks being proposed there. 399 00:19:18,033 --> 00:19:19,634 Like this is on the downhill sign. 400 00:19:19,834 --> 00:19:22,700 So before those trucks come roaring down into Port Matilda, 401 00:19:22,867 --> 00:19:25,033 they won't have a pull off their mandatory thing I guess. 402 00:19:25,033 --> 00:19:27,867 So they know like they have on Seven Mountain. 403 00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:30,567 Yes, I, well I assume that's the case similar to that. 404 00:19:30,567 --> 00:19:31,767 Okay, yeah, that makes sense. 405 00:19:32,133 --> 00:19:35,333 So there's a $360,000 we proceed, 406 00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:38,266 we approve the engineering study at 360,000. 407 00:19:39,066 --> 00:19:41,233 Also very lengthy committee discussion. 408 00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:42,834 Discussion regarding proposal 409 00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:44,834 to restructure the whole technical committee, 410 00:19:45,133 --> 00:19:46,567 which would reduce the number 411 00:19:46,567 --> 00:19:49,100 of voting members anywhere down to anywhere from 412 00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:50,133 between six and 11. 413 00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:53,133 I don't fully understand all those workings yet. 414 00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:56,033 Couple announcements of note, there were many. 415 00:19:58,100 --> 00:19:59,767 The staff are once again planning 416 00:19:59,767 --> 00:20:04,100 to offer an updated session of MPO 1 0 1 to new members, 417 00:20:04,533 --> 00:20:07,367 partner agency staffs, other regional decision makers, 418 00:20:07,367 --> 00:20:08,767 interested parties and such. 419 00:20:09,734 --> 00:20:12,467 This is slated for Monday, March 16th. 420 00:20:12,767 --> 00:20:14,066 I'll try to attend that one. 421 00:20:14,533 --> 00:20:17,233 It's really on, focused on the MPO basics, 422 00:20:17,233 --> 00:20:19,100 the organizational history and structure. 423 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,066 What are the federally required processes 424 00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:23,266 and documents and so forth. 425 00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:26,767 Also of note, on Monday, the 30th of March, 426 00:20:26,867 --> 00:20:29,133 the committee will be hosting its first ever transportation 427 00:20:29,533 --> 00:20:30,634 grant workshop. 428 00:20:31,567 --> 00:20:34,734 It will cover what makes a, an application competitive, how 429 00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:36,266 to align projects with plans 430 00:20:36,333 --> 00:20:40,233 and data build realistic project, the scope 431 00:20:40,233 --> 00:20:41,300 and budget and so forth. 432 00:20:42,066 --> 00:20:43,467 Registration's required for that. 433 00:20:43,567 --> 00:20:44,934 I haven't checked my calendar yet, 434 00:20:44,934 --> 00:20:46,934 but I'll try to attend that one as well. Sorry for 435 00:20:46,934 --> 00:20:47,934 - The length that happened. 436 00:20:47,934 --> 00:20:48,133 Thank you. 437 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,834 Let's see. Lauren, do you have any updates 438 00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:59,233 other than what's in your reports? 439 00:21:00,333 --> 00:21:04,567 - I do. I attended the February 6th Lucy meeting 440 00:21:05,467 --> 00:21:08,500 and kind of redundant, HRG 441 00:21:09,033 --> 00:21:12,100 engineering did present the Meeks Lane pump station upgrade, 442 00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:13,834 which you've me mentioned. 443 00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:17,634 And there was that choice that they made. 444 00:21:17,934 --> 00:21:22,233 And it was primarily to limited 445 00:21:22,367 --> 00:21:26,266 to one pump station using gravity flow based connectors 446 00:21:27,233 --> 00:21:30,000 routes to minimize the need for backup infrastructure. 447 00:21:30,100 --> 00:21:33,066 On that project, we have Neil 448 00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:36,634 Sullivan from Penn State University provide a presentation 449 00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,700 on a proposed 60 acre expansion 450 00:21:39,266 --> 00:21:42,367 to the A RL at PSU Innovation Park. 451 00:21:43,033 --> 00:21:44,567 And this proposal is asking 452 00:21:44,734 --> 00:21:46,934 for regional growth boundary extension 453 00:21:46,934 --> 00:21:49,300 with UAJA providing sewer service 454 00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:51,300 to accommodate future growth 455 00:21:51,333 --> 00:21:53,033 and development at Innovation Park. 456 00:21:54,133 --> 00:21:56,100 A DRI report was presented 457 00:21:56,567 --> 00:21:59,333 and the Lucy members were asked for comments. 458 00:22:00,634 --> 00:22:03,867 It was noted that the university could not find adequate 459 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,300 acreage, continuous acreage within the existing growth 460 00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:08,700 boundary to meet their needs. 461 00:22:09,667 --> 00:22:12,066 The committee postponed making the motion 462 00:22:12,433 --> 00:22:15,133 to forward a recommendation for this project's DRI 463 00:22:15,133 --> 00:22:18,834 to the general Forum pending more specific information on 464 00:22:18,867 --> 00:22:22,333 why the university couldn't accomplish its goals within the 465 00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:23,700 existing growth boundaries. 466 00:22:25,567 --> 00:22:28,066 The committee will review additional information 467 00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:29,033 at our meeting in March. 468 00:22:30,166 --> 00:22:32,000 The last topic was a quick review 469 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,133 of the Centre Region Sustainability trends 470 00:22:35,133 --> 00:22:38,367 included were climate trends, weather related power outages, 471 00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:42,100 energy consumption patterns, energy sources, 472 00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:44,066 and renewable energy development. 473 00:22:45,066 --> 00:22:47,767 And just a final note, there was a review 474 00:22:47,767 --> 00:22:50,300 of the lands within the regional growth growth boundary 475 00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:55,000 and the total lands available currently is 3,321 acres 476 00:22:55,567 --> 00:22:59,700 with 1,723 acres already approved for development, 477 00:23:00,367 --> 00:23:03,700 allowing for a potential of 7,046 units. 478 00:23:04,133 --> 00:23:08,934 There's 1,598 acres of vacant land available, allowing 479 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,767 for an additional 7,300 units. 480 00:23:11,567 --> 00:23:14,300 And there's 63.6 acres 481 00:23:14,834 --> 00:23:17,100 for non-residential use is available 482 00:23:17,266 --> 00:23:18,734 yet within the growth boundary. 483 00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:21,500 And that sums that one up. 484 00:23:23,266 --> 00:23:28,066 I can get back to Spring 485 00:23:28,066 --> 00:23:31,867 Creek Water shed. 486 00:23:32,166 --> 00:23:34,066 That was a reorganization meeting. 487 00:23:35,667 --> 00:23:37,033 They did a nice presentation 488 00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:39,133 to three new members on that board. 489 00:23:42,066 --> 00:23:44,133 The cleanup last year was really effective. 490 00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:46,300 They listed a number of 491 00:23:49,066 --> 00:23:50,500 thousands of pounds of trash 492 00:23:50,533 --> 00:23:53,467 that was picked up in that project. 493 00:23:55,066 --> 00:23:58,000 The new project for 2026 is Two Deck Park 494 00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:01,233 is got a regenerative storm water project 495 00:24:01,266 --> 00:24:05,000 that fishing boat is working on providing a grant as well 496 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,333 as there's some other contributors to that project. 497 00:24:08,133 --> 00:24:10,634 And apparently there's a stream that runs through the park 498 00:24:10,667 --> 00:24:13,567 that collects water currently and it's pretty well run down 499 00:24:13,634 --> 00:24:15,467 and dilapidated and it's causing water 500 00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:17,533 to go places they don't want it to. 501 00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:21,867 So they're gonna start possibly in July of cleaning up 502 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,734 that stream bed, putting in water diversions 503 00:24:24,734 --> 00:24:28,100 or water calming control tools 504 00:24:28,667 --> 00:24:32,133 and ease storm water impacts for that runout area 505 00:24:34,834 --> 00:24:37,000 4 0 2 of 26. 506 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,767 So about April 2nd is the third to annual watershed event. 507 00:24:42,934 --> 00:24:47,834 And on the 18th of April is the planned watershed cleanup 508 00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:50,300 day at 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM 509 00:24:51,567 --> 00:24:53,567 and our next meeting is the 510 00:24:53,834 --> 00:24:56,100 18th of March. That's all I have. 511 00:24:56,433 --> 00:25:01,266 - Okay, thank you.
