Deputy Secretary Kevin Tveidt informed the Commission about and gave handouts from Secretary Bergquist’s testimony to the House and Senate Transportation Committees earlier in the session.
Deputy Secretary Kevin Tveidt and Joel Jundt, Director of Planning & Engineering, presented information on the economic stimulus plan, both nationwide and statewide. Joel informed the commission a special meeting or conference call may be needed to approve bid lettings in order to approve STIP amendments of potential projects that currently fall outside FY2009. He informed them that we may need to also add additional lettings in order to handle the additional projects that will be going to contract.
Motion by Trucano, seconded by Shoener, to approve a conference call to handle these bid lettings. Motion carried (all ayes).
A conference call was scheduled for February 19, 2009, at 10 a.m. CST.
*********
Bill Nevin, Legal Counsel, presented an update regarding the DM&E Hearing held in Rapid City January 5-9, 2009. Bills advised he felt the hearing went well. There were five days of testimony with 70 exhibits presented. It was determined on the last day of this hearing to continue with closing arguments on Thursday, January 22, 2009, at 1:30 p.m. at the Stanley County Courthouse. Each side will get one and one half hours to present closing arguments. Justice Miller will then like to meet with the Transportation Commission to get their opinions before preparing a proposed decision. This decision will then come before the Transportation Commission for their approval, rejection, or a modification before the final decision is made.
*********
Commissioner Shoener advised the Commission he has received a number of letters from citizens of Mobridge, S.D., concerning opposition of the DOT re-striping their current four-lane highway through the center of town to a three-lane highway. John Forman, Pierre Regional Engineer, explained to the Commission the DOT felt it was safer to change their current four-lane highway to a three-lane highway with a turn lane down the middle. The business people of Mobridge do not want this and have brought their arguments to the DOT. The business community's concern is for possible economic problems created from a three-lane conversion. The DOT has therefore reconsidered and will keep their current four-lane highway. Deputy Secretary Tveidt advised he would make sure a letter went to citizens who have sent letters to the Commissioners.
