CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT TO THE BROWARD COUNTY METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION.
BACKGROUND: This item was discussed at the February 20, 2019, Regular City Commission meeting to add to the March 6, 2019, Regular City Commission meeting.
The Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC) is a committee comprised of representatives and members of the public who are interested in participating in the transportation planning process. The members of the CAC represent a broad cross section of Broward's population, and include members from various cities, towns, and community organizations. These members provide the MPO with valuable insight into local communities and help to form the urban landscape by acting as a voice for public opinion relating to general transportation issues. The committee reviews and provides recommendations to the MPO Board on transportation plans and programs, taking into consideration the impacts these plans and programs have on their local communities. The CAC is continually looking for individuals and organizations interested in either serving on the committee or attending regularly scheduled meetings.
The CAC meets on the fourth Wednesday of every month in the MPO Board Room, located in the Trade Centre South Building at 100 West Cypress Creek Road, 6th Floor, Suite 650, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309 at 6:00 p.m. These meetings are open to the public and participation is encouraged.
On May 18, 2016, the Margate City Commission adopted Resolution 16-214 appointing Wanda Catalan to the Broward MPO Citizen’s Advisory Committee. According to the attendance logs provided by the Broward MPO, Ms. Catalan did not attend any meetings in 2018.
RECOMMENDATION: For Discussion and Possible Action.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
