4. Treasurer’s Report for month ending January 31, 2014: Mayor Blake presented the Treasurer’s Report which is on pages 6-7 of the agenda packet. The balance sheet shows that we have $425,819 in cash and investments and $262,854 due from CDOT for transportation planning. Expenses seemed appropriate for the month. First Selectman Freda moved for acceptance of the Treasurer’s Report. First Selectwoman Gorski seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
5. Transportation Committee Report:
Mayor Dickinson presented the Transportation Committee Report contained on pages 8-11 of the agenda packet. Mayor Dickinson moved for the approval of 2012-2015 TIP Amendment Twenty Two.

Mayor Dickinson reported on CDOT’s Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program (LOTCIP). Mayor Dickinson, First Selectman Freda and Senior Transportation Planner Stephen Dudley reviewed their continued efforts, working with the SCRCOG Transportation Committee, to seek simplification of the LOTCIP process. Pursuant to the DOT Commissioner’s suggestion, SCRCOG submitted two pilot projects utilizing a simpler application than that detailed in the LOTCIP guidelines. The project from Wallingford was accepted as it had previously been approved under the local bridge program.

from the SCRCOG cities and towns, has met twice and is investigating consortium purchasing arrangements, electronic purchasing systems and a “buy local” initiative. SCRCOG is coordinating its work in the shared services area with CRCOG which recently released a Back Office Service Sharing Study (a summary of that study was distributed).
11. Congressional Report: Riju Das from Senator Blumenthal’s Office reported that Senator Blumenthal sits on the House Transportation Committee and has been very involved in efforts to promote greater safety measures to be implemented on the Metro North rail line. As a result, Metro North has appointed a Chief Safety Officer and has embarked on a 100-day plan to identify and implement needed safety improvements. The Senator was also involved in a federal minimum wage increase roundtable discussion last week in Connecticut.
12. State Legislative Report: Executive Director Amento distributed a 16-page report on General Assembly bills of interest to municipalities and the region as of February 25, 2014. The report also included a guide to the legislative process and legislative committee deadlines.
13. SCROG Executive Director’s Report: Executive Director Amento noted that some members still needed to submit resolutions of approval from their cities and towns for the SCRCOG application for a state Regional Performance Grant for further development of the Regional GIS Program. The forms need to be submitted by the end of March. Executive Director Amento thanked the mayors and first selectmen of the 7 coastal communities for submitting letters of support for the Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resilience Grant application which was submitted to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation on January 31, 2014. SCRCOG is partnering with the Greater Bridgeport Regional Council and The Nature Conservancy on that grant application.
Executive Director Amento reported that he was asked to determine if SCRCOG member communities would like to host meetings for rail commuters to discuss issues with CDOT and Metro North officials. There was great interest expressed in hosting such meetings.
14. REX Development Report: Executive Director Ginny Kozlowski referred to her written report on page 23 of the agenda packet. The Brownfield Inventory Grant that was recently received will result in a searchable database of brownfields in the region.
15. DESPP/ DEMHS Report: John Field, Region 2 Coordinator, reported that DESPP has a new Commissioner, Dora Schriro. A big issue, of course, has been road salt shortages. Hazard Mitigation grants for Hurricane Sandy damage are still in process. There will be a statewide exercise on June 21 and June 23. Cities and towns should choose one of the two dates.

16. CTRides Report: Pam Hypolite reviewed the 4th Quarter Report which was attached to the agenda packet.
17. Regional Cooperation/ Other Business: First Selectwoman Gorski requested advice on how other towns handle public skating on municipally-owned lakes and ponds. Various responses were given ranging from no municipal involvement to park and recreation or public works posting of warning or “skate at your own risk” signs. Mayor Jackson asked if the date of the next SCRCOG meeting, March 26th, which is the same date as “CCM’s Day on the Hill” would cause a conflict for anyone. No one reported a conflict.
18. Adjournment: First Selectman Mazza moved for adjournment. First Selectman Zeoli seconded the motion and all approved. The meeting adjourned at 11:15 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
First Selectman Fillmore McPherson, Secretary

Descriptions of New SCRCOG Committees
Background:
• At the March meeting, the SCRCOG Board approved a new committee structure going forward.
• The Executive Committee and the Transportation Committee will remain the same. • The Open Space Committee and the Public Safety/ Domestic Preparedness Committee
will cease to exist. • It is recommended that the three new committees (Emergency Management/ Hazard
Mitigation; Land Use & Environment; and Municipal Services) and the new Subcommittee of the Executive Committee (Administrative & Personnel) be organized and constituted for the next fiscal year beginning July 1, 2014.
• The Nominating Committee can solicit nominations for the new committees, and SCRCOG members can express their interest in serving on the new committees to the Nominating Committee.
Committee Descriptions:
• Emergency Management/Hazard Mitigation Committee This Committee will advise SCRCOG staff and make recommendations to the Executive Committee or the SCRCOG Board in the areas of Emergency Management and Hazard Mitigation. In particular, the Committee can serve as a means for issues and problems involving emergency management and arising at the municipal level to be discussed and resolved. Also, in the emergency management area, the committee can meet with state and regional emergency management officials and discuss issues of preparedness, resources, grants, and training. Regarding the Hazard Mitigation portion of the Committee’s charge, the Committee can help coordinate the recently completed Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan with the five individual municipal plans with an eye towards updating all or most of the plans at the same time. All of the Hazard Mitigation Plans contain specific projects identified for implementation. The Committee can work with SCRCOG staff and state DEEP and FEMA officials to ensure that the region obtains maximum advantage in funding and resources for project implementation. The Committee will provide input to SCRCOG staff regarding priorities for grant applications which can be pursued on a regional or multi-town basis to prevent flooding and storm damage and to promote resilience especially along the coastline.
27
• Land Use & Environment Committee This Committee will advise SCRCOG staff and make recommendations to the Executive Committee or the SCRCOG Board in the areas of Land Use and Environmental Protection. In particular, the Committee can support the regional Land Use planning efforts of SCRCOG with regard to the Regional Plan of Conservation and Development, model zoning regulations to address specific issues, Transit-Oriented Development planning, affordable housing plans. The Committee can ensure that SCRCOG is responsive in the areas of Land Use Planning and Environmental Protection to the issues confronting the municipalities. The Committee can meet with state DEEP officials and state and regional planners, or legislators to discuss issues of development, conservation, watershed protection, storm water and green infrastructure planning, vegetation management, clean water funding and priorities for the development of data layers on the Regional GIS program. The Committee will provide input to SCRCOG staff regarding priorities for grant applications which can be pursued on a regional or multi-town basis.
• Municipal Services Committee This Committee will advise SCRCOG staff and make recommendations to the SCRCOG Board in the areas of municipal shared services and regional services. The State has increased funding significantly for COGs to encourage municipalities to share services and operations and to provide such services in a cost-effective and higher quality manner on a multi-town or regional basis. The first such effort by SCRCOG was the 10-municipality Hazard Mitigation Plan which was funded by a grant to the region and resulted in a multi-jurisdictional plan which serves as the precondition for implementation grants to mitigate identified hazards. Next, SCRCOG has embarked on a region-wide GIS program, also funded by a state grant, which will assist all the SCRCOG member municipalities in increasing their GIS capabilities. The grant-funded SCRCOG Shared Services Study will identify opportunities for the region or groups of municipalities in the region to provide services on a shared or regional basis. The Committee will help determine the priorities for funding and implementation of such projects.
• Administrative & Personnel Subcommittee This Subcommittee of the Executive Committee will make recommendations to the Executive Committee on administrative and personnel issues internal to SCRCOG’s operations. The Committee will advise SCRCOG staff and make recommendations to the SCRCOG Executive Committee in the areas of SCRCOG administration, operation, and personnel issues. Specifically, the Committee will review SCRCOG’s internal organization, leadership, functions, personnel policies, benefit structure, employee performance evaluations, and salary structure.

DEMHS Region 2 Area Coordinator John B. Field Jr. Re: March 2014 COG Report Planning/Preparedness Local Emergency Operations Plans (LEOP): The Region 2 Office continues to perform reviews of the 2013 LEOP for each of their communities. Unfortunately we have only received twelve (12) out of thirty (30) communities LEOPs for review. It is required for certain grants that we review these plans annually. So please encourage your emergency managers to submit their LEOPs for review if they have not yet done so. Training/Exercises: The Region 2 Office is working on multiple exercise and training initiatives. Region 2 animal control officers and emergency managers held a tabletop exercise on February 25th in Seymour. It was well attended and a after-action report is currently being developed. Region 2 personnel participated in the Annual Millstone exercise held on March 12th in Waterford. Representatives from local, state and federal agencies participated in a hostile invasion of the Millstone facility. The City of New Haven serves as a host community for people evacuated within the planning/evacuation zone. A after-action report is currently being developed. Region 2 personnel will be participating in next week’s four (4) day Mass Casualty Incident Training/Exercise involving the Yale University and the City of New Haven. More information may be provided next month. The Governor’s 2014 Exercise Preparedness Planning Initiative (EPPI) will be held June 21st and 23rd. Communities are requested to participate on one of the planned two days. Documents pertaining to the details of the exercise have and will continue to be forwarded. If you are not receiving the related information please feel free to contact the Region 2 Office. DEMHS is performing its first presentation of the CT School Emergency Planning Training Program. This Program will be offered in all five (5) regions within the next couple of months. The Program will provide guidance to community representatives who will be working on developing the All-Hazards School Emergency response Plan which will be required under State Statute. The Annual DEMHS/CCM Emergency Management Conference will be held May 6th. The event is being held at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Cromwell. Sign up to attend utilizing the CCM website. http://programs.ccm-ct.org/Calendar/events-training.aspx/Events%20and%20Training/2014/5/6/5213

Grants: The 2010/2011 Emergency Management Grant Program (EMPG) has been closed as of March 20th. Region 2 personnel will be working with the communities to begin completion of reimbursements for the 2011/2012 FY Grant. We will also continue to provide visits to communities needing assistance with the EMPG Grant Program. The focus is to have every community participate and receive funds identified for the community. Please do not hesitate to contact the Region 2 Office if your community is not participating and would like to start. Sheltering/Evacuation: Pack-N-Plays (Play pens) are being distributed to designated communities. These items will be utilized in your shelters when infants are present. If your community was designated to receive these items and have not done so yet please contact the Region 2 Office for guidance. Shoreline community evacuation maps have been updated and draft copies were distributed for review and comment. The evacuation maps are now being finalized based on the comments received. The Technical Advisory Sub-Committee of the State Innerops Committee has reviewed the three (3) proposals for the Region 2 communications equipment returned to the State following lack of assignment by the Region 2 REPT. The Technical Advisory Committee provided each party submitting a proposal an opportunity to present the details of their proposals. Committee members then scored each presentation on its merit and regional utilization, then providing a recommendation to the Deputy Commissioner for final approval. We are awaiting the Deputy Commissioner’s final decision on the communication equipment allocation. Response: Region 2 personnel provided assistance with the recent salt shortage. Serving as a liaison for CT DOT we provided guidance to acquiring the needed salt. DEMHS is developing CEO and EMD list serves to be utilized by State representatives when extending important information. These list serves will enhance important communications when needed. Mitigation/Recovery FEMA and CT continue to work on Public Assistance reimbursement of funds with communities affected by most recent disasters. Milford Deputy EMD Bill Richards has been appointed the Regional Long-Term Recovery Coordinator for DEMHS Region 2. DEMHS and the communities continue to work on Hazard Mitigation Grant Program applications. The State’s Interagency Hazard Mitigation Grant Review Committee had identified mitigation projects but were asked by the Governor to reassess their initial decision based on the needs of homeowners attempting to reoccupy their homes. At that time the communities were asked to assist in prioritization of the projects from their community. The deadline for the grant applications is March 29, 2014.

March 2014 Action Table
Ref. # Received Description Adjacent RPC Towns Abridged RPC Action
2.1 02/27/2014
Town of Clinton: Proposed Zoning Regulation Amendments pertaining to Farms and Farming Operations, specifically Section 1.4, Section 3, Section 26.4, and Schedule 24
Madison
By resolution, the RPC has determined that the Proposed Zoning Regulation Amendments do not appear to cause any negative inter-municipal impacts to the towns in the South Central Region. There is potential for negative impacts to the habitat or ecosystem of the Long Island Sound due to the limitation of the setback requirement in Section 26.4.6 (2) to only water bodies from which water is taken for human consumption. Please consider making the 100’ setback requirement to be applicable to any body of water which flows into the Long Island Sound.
2.2 02/27/2014 Town of Branford: Small Cities Grant Application
East Haven, Guilford, North Branford
By resolution, the RPC recommends that the Department of Community and Economic Development award the Town of Branford a grant to fund renovations and improvements to Parkside Village I and II. The proposal is consistent with and meets important housing goals identified in the South Central Regional Plan of Conservation and Development of providing a diverse and affordable housing stock.
2.3 03/06/2014
Town of Hamden: Proposed Zoning Regulation Amendment: Section 670.5 – Temporary Moratorium on the Issuance of Zoning Permits for Student Housing
Bethany, New Haven, North Haven, Wallingford, Woodbridge
By resolution, the RPC has determined that the Proposed Zoning Regulation Amendment does not appear to cause any negative inter-municipal impacts to the towns in the South Central Region nor do there appear to be any impacts to the habitat or ecosystem of the Long Island Sound.

I-95 NEW HAVEN HARBOR CROSSING CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
NEW HAVEN – EAST HAVEN – BRANFORD, CT
Record of Decision
Transit and Transportation System Management (TSM) Components Summary Report
January 2012 – December 2013 The I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing (NHHC) Corridor Improvement Program (‘Program’) is one of Connecticut’s largest multi-modal transportation improvement initiatives. The program includes operational, safety and capacity improvements to over 7 miles of Interstate 95, including a new signature bridge over New Haven Harbor. In addition to new and upgraded Shore Line East commuter rail stations, there are numerous Transit and Transportation System Management (TSM) components included as part of the program.
The Federal Highway Administration Record of Decision for Interstate 95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge (Q-Bridge) (‘ROD’), dated August 1999, (Section 1.2 (pp. 3-4)), documents the Transit and TSM commitments.
This report summarizes the current status of the implementation of the Transit and TSM components.
A report from the Program Commitment Database with commitments of regional interest that have been implemented throughout the construction of the various Program Projects is also included. They are as follows:
• Considerations to pedestrians and bicyclists • Construction of permanent roadside noise barriers • Minimizing construction noise levels • Coordination with municipalities, neighborhoods and other stakeholders • Providing alternate travel routes • Protection of the traveling public through the use of detailed maintenance and protection of traffic
plans during construction.
Also included is a NuRide Report for people who commute into and out of New Haven County. NuRide is an online ridematching and recording system that allows users to earn rewards for sharing rides. A reward can be earned whenever ride is shared or traffic on the roads is reduce, by way of - transit, vanpooling, carpooling, bike or walk – or even telecommuting or using a compressed work week schedule. The report counts the cumulative effort of people that are recording their rides in order to earn rewards, not the actual overall ridership, which is nearly impossible to count for some modes of travel.

Summary of ROD Requirement Findings The following is an overview and analysis, where possible, of the data related to the Transit and TSM Commitments. It accompanies the following charts and graphs and details ridership and related data as well as changes in ridership over time and changes in service that have been implemented to accommodate the changes, and some service changes that have resulted in increased ridership.
Shore Line East – Total # of Riders by Year
Since 2001, there have been numerous changes in service as a result of increased ridership and resulting in increased ridership: Expanded service on weekends and holidays (Summer 2008); Service to Stamford including Metro-North New Haven Line stops (SLE Express - one-seat/one-ride) (2002); Expanded midday weekday service; and Weekday service to New London was recently added.
An additional 136 SLE passengers took the bus from Union Station eastbound in summer of 2010 due to track construction.
Total number of riders per year does not include State Street Rail Station riders. Shore Line East service into State Street Station commenced in June 2002 (see ROD Requirement: Commuter Rail Station at State Street for additional station related statistics).
Shore Line East – Total # of Riders by Month for Weekend & Holiday Service
The spike in July ridership is due to Independence Day travel and Sailfest activities in the New London area in 2012. Additional trains have been scheduled during July to accommodate the increased ridership.
Shore Line East – Average # of Daily Riders for Weekday and Weekend & Holiday Service
The spike in July ridership is due to Independence Day travel and Sailfest activities in the New London area in 2012. Additional trains have been scheduled during July to accommodate the increased ridership.
Shore Line East – State Street Station – Average # of Daily Riders by Quarter
Shore Line East service into State Street Station commenced June 2002.
Shore Line East – State Street Station – Average # of Daily Riders by Month
The Union Station Shuttle, which started in December 2010, is a free weekday service connecting rail passengers using Union Station to additional off-site parking locations, including the Temple Street Garage and the parking lot at the former Coliseum site. All shuttle trips extend to the New Haven Green, creating easy connections to all other CTTRANSIT local bus routes in New Haven. The Union Station Shuttle runs continuously every 20 minutes, from 6:05 AM until 10:15 PM, Monday through Friday.
CTTransit – “S” Route – Monthly Ridership and Average Daily Riders
The ‘S’ Route was once operated by DATTCO and “interlined” with their Old Saybrook to Hartford express bus service (interlining is when a bus would run as the “S” to Old Saybrook, and then make the run up to Hartford as the express, and only be available to run the reverse route on the S when it returned – thus constraining the schedule). At some point in the past, this interlining no longer made sense and since around 2010 the route is operated by CTTRANSIT NH Division. Because the interlining no longer exists, there was more flexibility to change the scheduling and better align it with connecting services which may explain some of the ridership gains.
CTTransit – “F” and “G” Routes – Average Daily Riders
A major winter storm in February 2013 resulted in a drop in ridership.
Improved Transit and Carpool/Vanpool Marketing
Recent changes in the State’s Vanpool service providers have created a discrepancy in the most recent (2013) Vanpool data. New service providers are no longer required to give exact statistics for detailed Vanpool data such as a breakdown of the number of Vanpool Riders in the Corridor or the number of Vanpool seats.

ROD Transit and Transportation System Management (TSM) Requirements January 2012 – December 2013
iii
Improved Access to Transit Information – Schedules and Brochures
The Total Number of Announcements Sent represents announcements which are sent out to the Program-maintained distribution list for weekly construction activities, holiday construction notifications, event notifications, and additional special announcements as needed. In addition to Program Announcements, the Program responds to any questions or comments received from the public. This statistic is the Number of Inquiry Responses sent out by the Program through email.
Improved Access to Transit Information – Website Visits
CTTransit data represents average monthly visits to the routes and the schedule listing pages of website only. The apparent large drop in website visitors between 2012 (5,923/mo) and 2013 (1,305/mo) is most likely the result of a technological data tracking issue rather than an actual drop in website visitors.
CTTransit has indicated that their overall site traffic has actually increased quite a bit, yet most visitors access the site using their mobile devices and the website is not able to track these visitors. Mobile technology has also provided visitors with alternatives to CTTransit’s online PDF format timetables, such as Trip Planner and Google Transit, along with other similar mobile apps.
The drop in CTRides website visits beginning in July 2013 was due to the end of advertising.
Improved Access to Transit Information – Phone Calls
In July 2013, SLE switched to a new phone service that is no longer able to distinguish between after-hours calls for Shore Line East and calls for CTRides.
The spike in CTRides calls in February 2012 is a result of the beginning of the campaign as well as a number of inclement winter weather days. Phone data for CTRides for the months of March-May and September-December of 2013 is unavailable due to changes in the data that AT&T provides.
CTTransit no longer supports the means to accurately determine the number of calls to Customer Service.
Optimized Flextime/Voluntary Rideshare (HOV) Preferential Parking/Guaranteed Ride Home
Employers were contacted and presented with a marketing information program for all options. The Program is presented to the clients as a comprehensive overview that covers the following related programs/options:
• Optimized flextime/telecommuting
• Voluntary Rideshare Programs
• Guaranteed Ride Program
• NuRide Program
Therefore, the data reflected in the ROD Requirement for each of these aspects is the same figure since an individual break out of each is not possible.
The large discrepancy between the 2012 and 2013 figures is due to change in what types of data are collected. The 2012 figure represents the total number of meetings, calls, and drop in’s. The 2013 figure represents the total number of meetings and presentations conducted, as call data is no longer being collected due to new changes in CTRides’ tracking procedures.
In 2012 there were 433 new employee meetings. In 2013 there were 200 new employee meetings.
Insurance Breaks ($40) for Rideshare (HOV)/Transit
The Insurance contacted were companies licensed to write auto insurance policies in the state.
