TAC members who were formally a part of the Transportation Visioning Committee would like to present a summary of the TVC's findings, found in the report "Roadmap to the Future." A TAC study session will be planned for July to allow sufficient time for the presentation. Jen Imber will print and distribute copies of the report for all members who need one. Scott Zurn reported the FLAP grant successfully made it through the first round of eliminations, with final results announced in the fall. VISITOR CENTER PARKING STRUCTURE UPDATE Five proposals for the design consultant services were received by the deadline of June 18th, 2013. A stakeholder group will commence in choosing a firm to award services. Scott Zurn asked for two volunteers from the TAC to serve on the stakeholder group, which could meet as often as every other week throughout the design process. Thom Widawski and Gregg Rounds volunteered and were chosen to represent the TAC on the stakeholders committee. DEVELOPMENT OF BY-LAWS A draft of the by-laws was distributed and the committee discussed a few changes to be made before voting and adapting the by-laws. Kimberly Campbell will update the draft and get it out to committee members for review ahead of the next meeting. COMMITTEE EFFECTIVENESS The committee continued to discuss effectiveness and how best to achieve that goal. Members are in favor of being proactive instead of reactive, actively seeking and identifying issues and bringing them forward instead of passively waiting for Town staff to bring forward projects and ideas. Discussion led into how issues should be identified and how to relate and communicate information to the Town Board. Suggestions included an annual report to the Town Board or TAC presentation to the Trustees during a study session.
