Secretary Bergquist discussed the next Legislative Summer Study and Sunset Review of Highway Needs Study August 19 & 20. Invitations have been sent out to individuals who interact with the Department to participate in a public comment period on the afternoon of the 19th during the Sunset Review Study.
Secretary Bergquist advised the Department is halfway through the STIP hearings. They are going well, but attendance is down from last year.
Secretary Bergquist discussed the Federal Funding issue. Congress needs to enact at least a short-term fix in order to keep the federal Highway Trust Fund solvent through the end of SAFETEA-LU. The only version of proposed legislation for future highway funding is unfavorable to SD and other rural states. South Dakota is supporting a potential 18 month extension to the existing program, but additional funding will need to be found in order to continue the program at its existing level.
On August 10, 2009, Senator Thune will be hosting a Congressional field hearing in Sioux Falls regarding transportation issues in rural states and Secretary Bergquist has been invited to testify at the hearing.
*********
Secretary Bergquist discussed Stimulus Transportation Enhancement applications.
We used other federal enhancement funds for the Days of 76 Museum in Deadwood and with that money added three additional stimulus enhancement projects.
Motion by Tidball, seconded by Spies, to change funding for the Days of 76 Museum and add three additional stimulus projects. Motion carried (all ayes).
