CC 2017-08-22_09d CTAC Appointment 2017
MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JAMES A. BERGMAN, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT TO THE CITIZENS’
TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
DATE: AUGUST 22, 2017
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council approve the appointment of Rodney Pappas to the
Citizens’ Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC).
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
An at-large appointment of a City resident to the CTAC which reviews and prepares
recommendations to the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments on all phases of its
transportation planning program.
IMPACT TO FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no funding impact as a result of the proposed appointment.
BACKGROUND:
The Citizens’ Transportation Advisory Committee reviews and prepares
recommendations to the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) on all
phases of their transportation planning program, including transit, streets and roads,
bicycle facilities, airports, funding and plan preparation. Its membership is comprised of
appointments from each supervisorial district and each incorporated city, as well as four
at-large appointments made by SLOCOG.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
SLOCOG notified the City on July 18, 2017 that the City’s representative, Steve Ross,
resigned from CTAC effective July 17, 2017.
The practice by some of the other cities in SLOCOG has been to appoint members of
their transportation or traffic commissions, which was done by the City when
Commissioner Ross was appointed. This can be helpful since the members are already
informed and involved in establishing the City’s transportation related programs, policies
and priorities. As a result, the vacancy was discussed at the August 14, 2017 Traffic
