PRESENTATION OF PRIORITIZATION RESULTS.
Trustee Ericson thanked Fred Mares and Greg Rosener for their efforts to compile and
calculate the outcome of the prioritization voting exercises completed at the last
meeting. Greg Rosener and Fred Mares presented the results which were organized
and color -coded to correspond with the categories utilized during the ranking exercises.
Co -Chair Ericson reminded the group that the Town Board charged the Transportation
Visioning Committee (TVC) with producing a vision for transportation 20 years in the
future and said that must be kept in mind when writing the report. He said that the TVC
members agreed to approach the report as a timeline rather than by topic and
suggested the writers state their vision and use the prioritized items to illustrate ways to
achieve the vision in the short-, mid-, and long-term. A lengthy discussion ensued
about how to interpret and utilize the information so that those members drafting
portions of the report are provided with the same instructions for using the data. Since
during the prioritization exercises, Committee members voted to identify their top three
priorities in each category and timeframe, Stan Black suggested writers start out with a
vision for 20 years in the future, explain it in detail and illustrate how to get there by
presenting the top three prioritized items in a category and including additional items to
support the top three. It was moved and seconded (Rosener/La Bianca) to use Mr.
Black's suggestion as a guideline for each writer to draft their section of the report. The
outline prepared by Fred Mares will be used as a format for the draft report.
Greg Rosener requested the results of the prioritization exercises be included in the
report, either as part of the appendix or in a separate section. Co -Chair Ericson
concurred that data is the basis of the report and should be included. Stan Black said
that even though the data does not have statistical relevance, it shows trends and
priorities and provides a guidance which is exactly what is needed for compiling the
report.

REPORT WRITING UPDATE — DISTRIBUTION OF FIRST DRAFTS.
Co -Chair Ericson requested that first drafts be completed and distributed in time for
review and discussion at the next meeting allowing the Committee the opportunity to
comment. He proposed having the report completed by February 29, 2012, for
presentation to the Town Board in March. Greg Rosener expressed concern with such
an aggressive timetable and Stan Black concurred and suggested notifying the Town
Board that the report may not be completed at that time.
