SPECIAL MEETING REQUEST FROM UCTTF COMMISSIONERS
At 9:00 a.m. Chairman Wachsmith opened a Special Meeting with
members of the Upper County Traffic Task Force (UCTTF), to discuss
with and determine expectations.
Cindy Millsap, Chair of the UCTTF explained there is a lot of
confusion among members and they are desiring structure to be re-
established.
There was a great deal of discussion on re-vamping the Committee
makeup. There was discussion on drafting a Resolution to clearly
outline the expectations moving forward and what the scope of work
is moving forward for the UCTTF. There was discussion on the
challenges with getting a quorum and other conflicts that have come
out of setting up meetings without the help of County Staff.
The Board determined they would have Public Works and the Prosecutor
draft a Resolution re-forming the Committee and making it a
Committee of 7, noting that one member would be the Dist. 2 County
Commissioner acting as the Chair (voting member).
Staff was directed to send notice to current members once the new
Resolution is adopted and allow them to seek reappointment but
inform them of changes, and then the Board will appoint 6 new
members.
Ms. Millsap and Ms. Nevin asked if it would be possible to review
some other topics under “other business”. Those items were presented
& reviewed in a word document (see attached). They thanked the Board
for their willingness to meet and understand the needs of the UCTTF.
