TransportationCommission | 2012-07-25 | 4 | Commissioner Wong asked staff how many people attended the last meeting. Staff Payne stated that close to 100 attendees were present at both the first and second public meetings. Commissioner Vargas asked if the meeting summary reflected the attendees and if it is possible in the next meeting to see where attendees reside. Also, he would like to know if attendees are joggers, bicyclists or both. Staff Khan replied from staff's perspective, they do not want to separate the community by geography, especially as the last speaker noted, it is a regional beach and part of the countywide bicycle plan not just the city bicycle plan. 5A.

Commissioner Bertken opened the discussion for nomination of the new Chair and Vice Chair. Commissioner Miley nominated Commissioner Vargas as the Chair. Commission Bellows seconded the motion.

Commissioner Vargas introduced Commissioner Schatmeier, and asked him to give a brief summary of his experience. Commissioner Schatmeier explained that he was one of the original Transportation Commission members and served for 11 years. He worked as the Planning Manager for Caltrain from 1980 to 1992. He then went on to work at Caltrans Headquarters in Sacramento as a director in the Railroad Division. In 2006, he became the program manager for the Transportation Authority of Marin, and he is now retired. He recently got involved with the Commission because he was interested in the AC Transit Transbay OX Line and the fact that AC Transit disallowed local service to passengers on the bus. The agency made the change without coming to the Interagency Liaison Committee and the Transportation Commission first, and he thought that process was assumed as a standard operating procedure.
