The meeting was called to order at 11:05A.M. via conference call, by Mark Bollmann.  Mark asked for everyone on the call to introduce themselves and give any updates of the agency they represent. 

 

The minutes from the November 2017 meeting were reviewed.  Todd Krebel made a motion to approve those minutes.  Sheila Niederhofer seconded the motion.  Ted Gutierrez asked that the minutes be updated to reflect that Jimmy Leadingham represented Jackson Co. MTD instead of Shawnee MTD.  Terri Finn will make the correction and the minutes will be approved with this correction.

 

IDOT Maintenance Information:

Terri Finn provided a PowerPoint from Mike Healy (IDOT) on maintenance policy & procedures.  Terri went thru the PP:

Elements of a Successful Plan-Should be clear and attainable listing why, how & who is responsible

How-Clear statements should be used of when maintenance will be done.  The Plan must state who will be responsible for the completion of the maintenance items.

Best Practices Time Table-(3,000-5,000-10,000 mile items)

Monitoring Variables-daily speeds, length of time the bus is out daily, miles per day, ridership, frequency of equipment use, detailed descriptions of topography. 

Tools to assist with an agencies maintenance program are available such as web based organizational software for record keeping.

Maintenance of ADA equipment-The last 1500 vehicles that IDOT has funded have Braun lifts and agencies should be using a Braun trained professional to work on this equipment.

The last page of the PP is information about a maintenance tracking system that IDOT plans to make available to agencies that have funded vehicles.

  

General Discussion:

Terri Finn provided the finalized Regional Plan for committee approval.  Ted Gutierrez thanked Terri for her work in putting the Plan together.  Bill Jung asked that the date of the Plan be changed to 2018.
