12 WHEREAS, the Interlocal Agreement creating the Palm Beach Metropolitan
13 Planning Organization (MPO) for the urbanized area of Palm Beach County requires that the
14 Palm Beach MPO, doing business as the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency
15 (TPA), be a forum for cooperative decision making by officials of the governmental entities
16 with voting membership on the TPA Governing Board; and
17 WHEREAS, the City of Boynton Beach is a governmental entity with voting
18 membership on the TPA Governing Board; and
19 WHEREAS, the TPA Governing Board adopted Resolution 2017-08 to formally
20 recognize the value of empowering all of its members to lead the selection of transportation
21 projects and programs to best serve our local communities, to take steps to avoid undue
22 influence by any member agencies, and to provide the TPA with maximum flexibility to
23 provide transportation planning services to the public; and
24 WHEREAS, certain activities such as advocacy and lobbying at the federal and state
25 levels, hosting peer exchanges or special events, purchasing promotional materials, and
26 providing non-federal monetary matching funds for TPA planning grants, are not permitted
27 under the current funding sources; and
28 WHEREAS, not being able to participate in these activities results in a competitive
29 disadvantage with other MPOs across the nation in advancing the priorities of the TPA
30 Governing Board; and

32 membership on the TPA Governing Board is equitable and will allow the TPA to engage in
33 critical activities to advance TPA transportation priorities.
