only change to this version qf the document are in the Funding Summary Tables for each task and
the Budget Summary Table for FY 2025. No changes in the actual work tasks or subtasks have
been made. The TAC has recommended that the Unified Planning Work Program Amendment
Two be adopted by the MPO Policy Board. Staff has completed a 15-day public comment period
for citizen review. Policy Board Member Note: In the funding summary tables, the 5% COLA
has been applied to the Executive Director's salary. Under our bylaws, the salary for the
Executive Director can only be set by the Policy Board. Adoption of this amendment as
presented will result in a 5% increase in the Executive Director's salary. The Policy Board may
approve this COLA by adoption of this amendment. If the Policy Board is not comfortable with
this change, the amendment should be tabled so that revised funding summary tables can be
prepared for the November Policy Board meeting, subject to TAC approval. Action Required.
