TransportationCommission | 2013-06-26 | 7 | conduct a public meeting for input. Then staff would work with Caltrans to implement the public input as much as they could. Staff would then decide if additional public meetings are necessary and if not, the item would be brought to the Transportation Commission. Commissioner Schatmeier said he would like to see the public input process happen along the way when the project sponsor and City are defining the project. Overall, he felt there must be a point that the Transportation Commission could comment on a range of improvements and other input. Commissioner Miley replied he would like public input and the Commission's input conducted during the scoping process. He said in terms of making the motion, if the Commission was willing to incorporate language from Staff Naclerio's comments about involving the community and public process during the scoping phase, he would be willing to second the motion. Staff Naclerio replied it is easier for the community to respond to a proposal compared to a nebulous idea of what may be happening. However, he does think part of the issue with this project is the funding source. Commissioner Schatmeier made a motion for the Transportation Commission to request the City Council to communicate with Caltrans to conduct public input earlier on in the project process and especially at a time when public input can influence what is included in the project and the project's scope. Commissioner Miley seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-0. Staff Naclerio replied it might be effective to have that message relayed to the City Manager by staff and the City Manager would work with the Mayor to send the letter. Commissioner Schatmeier made an amendment to the motion for staff to work with the City Manager and the Mayor who would draft a letter of intent to the City Councilmembers. Commissioner Miley seconded the motion moved to accept staff recommendations. The motion was approved 5-0. 5B. Draft Regional Transit Access Study (RTAS) Staff Naclerio presented the background for the study. Commissioner Bertken asked Staff Naclerio if only comments from the Transportation Commission were required after the presentation and public comment. Staff Naclerio replied yes. Commissioner Schatmeier asked what was the action. Staff Naclerio replied staff was accepting comments and then they would forward those comments to the Planning Board and the Planning Board would review the document in light of those comments before forwarding their motion to the City Council for acceptance.
