Consideration of Appointments:
Transportation Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Make two appointments to terms expiring July 2026.
Make one appointment to a term for a NAIPTA Representative seat expiring November 2025.
Executive Summary:
The Transportation Commission consists of seven voting members (a representative from the Flagstaff Unified School District, a representative of NAIPTA, and five citizens) and two non-voting members (City Traffic Engineer and a Police Department representative). The Transportation Commission reviews requests for changes in traffic regulations and formulates and recommends traffic-related policies and ordinances to the Council. The commission sponsors two subcommittees: the Bicycle Advisory Committee and the Pedestrian Advisory Committee, each consisting of seven voting members.
There are currently three seats available due to two expired seats and one resignation (NAIPTA Representative). It is important to fill vacancies on boards and commissions quickly so as to allow them to continue meeting on a regular basis.
There are four applications on file:
Matt Barkley (new applicant)
Robert Kuhn (new applicant)
Jonathan Hansen (current commissioner)
Josh Stone - NAIPTA Representative (new applicant)
In an effort to reduce exposure to personal information the applicant roster and applications will be submitted to the City Council separately.
