This agreement also includes the already agreed upon transportation planning responsibility transfer from Winston-Salem MPO to High Point MPO for Lexington and the majority of Davidson County. Item 6: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Cooperative, Comprehensive, and Continuing Transportation Planning Andrew Edmonds reported that the current MOU for HPMPO was endorsed in 2013 and is effective until October 2023. HPMPO staff is not suggesting any substantive changes to the existing MOU, but will ask for renewed approval of the MOU through approval through each member jurisdiction’s elected board. Copies of the MOU will be sent out to TCC and TAC members this week, and we ask for action to be taken on the MOU by the end of September. Item 7: Smoothed Urban Area Boundary 2 Attachment 1 Andrew Edmonds reported that the HPMPO smoothed the Urbanized Area Boundary defined by the U.S. Census Bureau to eliminate irregularities in the boundary, identify areas that may become urban in the next twenty years, and maintain logical control points. Item 8: P7.0 SPOT Projects List Andrew Edmonds reported that the High Point MPO has a maximum of 22 project submittals per mode. There have been several modifications to the project list since it was originally presented to the board. The last column of the table notes changes that were made to the list since the original call for projects. To allow additional time to work with the SPOT office and determine the status of several projects, HPMPO staff recommends tabling this agenda item as information and then acting on the project list at the August TAC meeting.
