4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Blue Ribbon Report on Transportation - The Committee discussed the draft response to the Blue
Ribbon Report, received earlier this summer. They progressed through the cover letter one
paragraph at a time, discussing issues and positions in order to meet an October 1, 2000, response
deadline. The Committee wished the letter to be specific and explicit in its statements about the
City’s transportation concerns. While expressing an interest in centralized authority and
responsibility, there was also deep concern about local control and funding structures. The edited
and strengthened letter will be sent to meet the deadline with understanding by the Blue Ribbon
Commission on Transportation that any further edits the full City Council makes to the letter will
be forwarded following their October 3, 2000, meeting.
6. FUTURE MEETINGS
The next meeting will be held in Council Chambers at 5:30 pm on October 2, 2000.
