GENERAL DISCUSSION
Meeting minutes from May’s meeting were distributed, but due to the lack of a quorum, voting on
minutes will take place at the next committee meeting.
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.
OTHER ITEMS OF DISCUSSION
Scott Zurn suggested upcoming topics of interest for TAC members, including a sales tax initiative for
road maintenance with an April 2014 tax vote, new development codes, the transit parking structure,
NEPA, and the FLAP and RAMP grants.
Agenda items for July’s meeting include speed bumps and NEPA.
Director Zurn adjourned the meeting at 1:39 p. m.
