SUBJECT:       Transportation Board’s Recommendation for Appointment of a Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education Liaison on the Transportation Board

 

DATE:             October 8, 2003

 

 

The purpose of this memorandum and resolution is to recommend that a member of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education become a non-voting liaison on the Town’s Transportation Board.  Attached please find the Transportation Board recommendation from June 17.  (Attachment 1).

 

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION

 

At the May 28, 2003 Council meeting, the Council received the attached memorandum and ordinance, which would have increased the Transportation Board membership from nine (9) to ten (10) members, with the additional tenth member appointed by the Council upon receipt of a recommendation from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education (Attachment 2).   The Council did not enact the ordinance that night, but deferred the item to the Transportation Board for its consideration.

 

On June 17, the Transportation Board voted to keep the Transportation Board membership at nine (9) members, but recommended adding a non-voting liaison member from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education.   The Transportation Board also recommended that the liaison be appointed by the Council.

 

Ms. Lisa Stuckey has been attending the Transportation Board meetings as the liaison from the  Board of Education, pending the Council’s appointment.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Council adopt the attached resolution, establishing the non-voting liaison on the Transportation Board and naming Ms. Lisa Stuckey as this non-voting member.
