Title
Consider appointment of principal and alternate members to the Regional Transportation Council for a term to expire June 30, 2020.
Body
The Regional Transportation Council (RTC) has 44 members and establishes regional transportation policy and project funding priority for the 16 counties that comprise the North Central Texas Council of Governments. The RTC meets on the second Thursday of each month. Per the April 2014 approved bylaws and operating procedures, the City of Mesquite is in a cluster of cities that also includes the cities of Seagoville and Balch Springs and the Town of Sunnyvale. Our city cluster is authorized one primary and one alternate member to the RTC. The term of the appointment is for two years with each term beginning in June of even numbered years.
On May 15, 2018, a letter was sent to the three other municipalities in our cluster seeking their concurrence in the appointment of Mayor Stan Pickett and Councilmember Greg Noschese as the primary and alternate members respectively to the RTC. No responses have been received from the other municipalities.
Recommended/Desired Action
Staff recommends appointing Mayor Stan Pickett and Councilmember Greg Noschese as the primary and alternate members respectively to the RTC.
