CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE REGULAR AGENDA

8.

Recommend that the VTA Board of Directors amend the VTA Administrative Code to make the following changes to VTA’s governance:   1) Reconfigure the small city groupings to include a new group comprised of Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Milpitas, and move Los Altos Hills to the West Valley City Group; 2) Eliminate the concept of city groupings selecting their representative(s) through a rotation process.  Each of the city groupings will “select” their representative(s) to serve as a Director on the VTA Board; 3) VTA Directors will still serve two-year terms.  However, the appointing authorities will be encouraged to reappoint representatives to consecutive terms; and 4) Include a process for selecting VTA Directors within the city groupings.  VTA Directors should have the required experience and qualifications in transportation.  (Lawson)
