DISCUSSION OF DRAFT REPORT.
Co -Chair Ericson initiated continued discussion related to drafting the final report to the
Town Board and asked for progress reports.
Fred Mares stated that the comments made at the February 17th meeting of the TVC
had been incorporated into the document.
Kimberly Campbell suggested a modification to the report outline to include additional
background information in the findings section of the report, followed by an action plan
broken out into short-, mid-, and long-term recommendations. She said this would
provide an opportunity to communicate the Committee's vision for transportation in the
future before addressing short-, mid-, and long-term fixes that may help in achieving
that vision. The Committee concurred that these modifications would facilitate the flow
of the report. Kimberly Campbell and Fred Mares will meet and work on amending the
outline prior to the next TVC meeting.
Co -Chair Miller said he has started compiling a list of documents, studies, and reference
materials to be included in the appendix.
Cory La Bianca read a draft of a vision statement to include in the report and asked for
comments from the Committee. She said it is important that the group come to
consensus with regard to the statement. Comments included: include vision in the
introductory paragraphs; create a separate vision statement; write a concise vision
statement; the group's principles come out of the vision statement; the vision statement
should encompass the work of the Committee; the statement should connect to the
values of the community; and create a positive statement. The Committee
recommended several edits including changing the order of the paragraphs which Ms.
La Bianca will incorporate into the statement. She and Fred Mares will work together to
insert the vision statement into the report. Co -Chair Miller commented that the vision
statement ties into other efforts currently on -going within the community.
