Mayor Pulido asked if staff can consider driving City streets to evaluate what streets need to be repaired. Jim Ross informed him that staff currently goes out to the field and visually inspects the condition of the streets to determine the type of repair needed. He added that staff is currently trying to find a way to streamline the design build process. 3. TRANSIT MASTER PLAN UPDATE Toni Bates informed the Committee that the Six-Month Go Local Progress Report will be submitted to OCTA next week. Toni went over a presentation handout on the Concepts of the Go Local Program. Jose Martinez suggested removing the Maglev from the Concepts of the Go Local Program and advertise it as a future intermodal connection (vision) of the Go Local Program. Jim suggested asking Toni and Jose if they believe the "I" in "SARTIC" should be used. Toni and Jose will provide the Committee with some concepts/names for the Regional Transportation Center. Mayor Pulido requested that names be brought to this Committee for approval. Toni added that there is a Final Report that gets submitted to OCTA in February. 4. STATUS OF QUIET ZONE DISCUSSION Jim provided the Committee with a letter that was submitted to OCTA requesting they pay 100% of the Quiet Zone Improvements. Mayor Pulido asked if he should pursue this action if a scope of work is defined. Jim responded that it will depend on the negotiations of what gets included in the scope of work. Mayor Pulido requested staff to have discussions with OCTA to define the scope of work. Once the scope of work is defined with OCTA, staff will provide the Committee with suggestions. Mayor Pulido asked if there are any streets that can be considered for an overpass. Jim responded that 17th Street and Santa Ana Boulevard can be considered; however, due to the 50% match requirement, the City has not pursued it. 5.
