3. Discussion of Committee Bylaws
Assistant City Attorney Laura Sheedy provided a boilerplate outline of bylaws, and
recommended that all Council Committees use the same format, with the only
difference being the purpose of the committee. Mr. Sarmiento stated that staff
could finesse the details of the bylaws, including the scope, outside of the meeting.
4. Overview of City's Transit Vision Projects
This presentation was postponed until the next Committee meeting, to allow for
adequate time to address the issues.
5. 1-5 Improvement Project between SR-55 & SR-57 (addition of HOV lane)
City Engineer William Galvez and Senior Civil Engineer Monica Suter presented
the 1-5 Central Corridor Project which addresses regional traffic congestion on the
1-5 Freeway, in particular, at the Main Street off-ramp. A presentation to City
Council is anticipated after a preview by this Committee. The Committee asked
the City Manager for more information on timing of this project. Two citizens
expressed concern about possible property takes in their neighborhoods.
6. Committee Member Comments
None.
7. Items, Date, and Location for Next Meeting
Executive Director Raul Godinez suggested that future meetings take place in
Conference Room 1600 in the Ross Annex, as it is more accessible to the public,
and the Committee agreed. Mr. Sarmiento felt that 5 PM was a good time to meet.
Mr. Sarmiento wants to have more frequent meetings initially, to address the
backlog of issues pending. Some discussion ensued, and it was decided that the
next meeting would take place in approximately 30 days, depending on calendar
availability.
ADJOURNMENT
Meeting adjourned at 6:30 PM.
