TransportationCommission | 2007-07-25 | 9 | Close public comment. Commissioner Ratto believed this was a wonderful report, and liked the matrix as well. To make it clear that TC decisions can still be appealed to the City Council, he suggested that in the Background portion of the write-up, the last line of the first paragraph should be changed to read, "The Transportation Commission (TC) will be the initial appeal board". He suggested that on page 2, the second bullet under "Proposed AMC Revisions" be changed to read, "If operational decisions by the Public Works Director are appealed, such initial appeals will be " He suggested that in the matrix, "Current Appeal Body" should be changed to "Current Initial Appeal Body." Also, "Proposed Appeal Body" should be changed to "Proposed Initial Appeal Body." Commissioner Krueger suggested the inclusion of the following language, "As previously, the Council remains the final and ultimate appeal body." Chair Knox White inquired about the disposition of the report following this meeting. Staff Khan replied that there were over 30 changes, and that staff wished to ensure the TC understood the goals and purpose of the changes. He advised that this document would go to the City Council on August 21, 2007. Commissioner Ratto moved to accept the staff report with the suggested clarifications in language, including the two excluded items from the staff report. Commissioner Schatmeier seconded the motion. Motion passed 6-0. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Staff Khan advised that the parking study for Webster Street and the West Alameda commercial district will come to the TC in September or October. The Economic Development Strategic Plan is tentatively scheduled for the November Transportation Commission meeting. Staff may bring the Local Action Plan from the Climate Protection Task Force to the TC either in October or November. The August meeting will include a presentation from the Congestion Management Agency on the 29th and 23rd Street project. Staff has requested that CMA attend the meeting to present that project; staff has concerns related to access from Park Street to the freeway. Staff Bergman advised that Commissioner Knoth has officially resigned from the TC, and staff has been working with the School District to find a recommended replacement. He hoped an appointment may be made within a month or so. He noted that the City's website has been undergoing design changes, with the ultimate goal of being more user- friendly, especially in accessing documents. Chair Knox White noted that the TC minutes will be available on the web site in a more timely manner going forward.
