BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION. The Federal-aid Highway Program (FAHP) is a federally-assisted program of State-selected projects. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the State Departments of Transportation have long worked as partners to deliver the FAHP in accordance with Federal requirements. In enacting 23 U.S.C. 106(c), as amended, Congress recognized the need to give the States more authority to carry out project responsibilities traditionally handled by FHWA. Congress also recognized the importance of a risk-based approach to FHWA oversight of the FAHP, establishing requirements in 23 U.S.C. 106(g). This Stewardship and Oversight (S&O) Agreement sets forth the agreement between the FHWA and the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on the roles and responsibilities of the FHWA and the State DOT with respect to Title 23 project approvals and related responsibilities, and FAHP oversight activities. The scope of FHWA responsibilities, and the legal authority for State DOT assumption of FHWA responsibilities, developed over time. The U.S. Secretary of Transportation delegated responsibility to the Administrator of the FHWA for the FAHP under Title 23 of the United States Code, and associated laws. (49 CFR 1.84 and 1.85) The following legislation further outlines FHWA’s responsibilities: • Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991; • Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) of 1998; • Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) of 2005; and • Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) of 2012 (P.L. 112-141). The FHWA may not assign or delegate its decision-making authority to a State Department of Transportation unless authorized by law. Xxxxxxx 000 xx Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (Section 106), authorizes the State to assume specific project approvals. For projects that receive funding under Title 23, U.S.C., and are on the National Highway System (NHS) including projects on the Interstate System, the State may assume the responsibilities of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation under Title 23 for design, plans, specifications, estimates, contract awards, and inspections with respect to the projects unless the Secretary determines that the assumption is not appropriate. (23 U.S.C. 106(c)(1)) For projects under Title 23, U.S.C. that are not on the NHS, the State shall assume the responsibilities for design, plans, specifications, estimate...

BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION. The Company already has a stock option plan in place and a limited number of options (100) have been issued thereunder. Consideration will be given to amending or otherwise rolling in existing option obligations into the new equity program. The number of shares to be reserved for issuance under the Plan will represent 15% of the total shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis, including shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance under the Plan. Under the Plan, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries will be eligible to receive awards. Moreover, while it is not anticipated that grants will initially be made to consultants and independent contractors, it is recommend that the Plan be flexible and allow for grants to consultants and independent contractors. The Plan will allow for awards of stock options, restricted stock and other types of equity grants. The initial grants under the Plan will fall into two groups, namely, normal option grants and special management grants.

BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION. ‘Taking Charge of our Health and Social Care in Greater Manchester’ (2016) is the strategic plan for whole system transformation of integrated health and social care, in which for the first time, local people are taking charge of decisions on the health and care services for Greater Manchester (GM). It outlines five themes on which reform across GM is being focused to support transformation and ensure sustainability of the health and care system. These are: the radical upgrade in population health prevention; standardising community care; standardising acute hospital care; standardising clinical support and back office services and enabling better care. The Manchester Locality Plan, ‘A Healthier Manchester’ (2016), detailed the transformation ambition for health and care services in Manchester for delivery of its part of the Greater Manchester Plan against these themes. It set out the strategic approach to improving the health outcomes of residents of the city, while also moving towards financial and clinical sustainability of health and care services. It was developed in the context of the public consultation which was taking place for the Manchester Strategy - ‘Our Manchester’, in which Manchester City Council asked residents what their ideal Manchester would be. Through the consultation it was found was that residents wanted more efficient public services that joined up and worked together, working towards an ambitious future for the city. The vision is for Manchester to be in the top flight of world-class cities by 2025, when the city will: • Have a competitive, dynamic and sustainable economy that draws on its distinctive strengths in science, advanced manufacturing, culture, and creative and digital business - cultivating and encouraging new ideas, • Possess highly skilled, enterprising and industrious people, • Be connected, internationally and within the UK, • Play its full part in limiting the impacts of climate change, • Be a place where residents from all backgrounds feel safe, can aspire, succeed and live well, • Be clean, attractive, culturally rich, outward-looking and welcoming. This is a challenging, exciting and ambitious vision. To make it a reality, the system will have to work together in a new way to get things done. The Locality Plan reflected the shared commitment and vision of the commissioners and providers within the system, who at that time included: North, Central and South Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups, Manchester Ci...
