MINUTES
On Wednesday, January 10, 2007 a
regular meeting of the MATS Citizens Advisory Committee was held in the 10th
floor conference room of the Macon-Bibb County Planning and Zoning Commission.
With a quorum present, the
meeting was called to order by Chairman Hanberry Martin at approximately 5:15pm. A motion was made and properly seconded to
accept the minutes summary from the July 18, 2006 and October 25, 2006 meetings. Motion
Passed.
The next item of business
discussed was the election of officers.
A motion was made and properly seconded to elect Mr. James H. Webb as
Chairman and Dr. Lindsay Holliday as Vice-Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee. Motion
Passed.
The next item of business
discussed was the Vineville Avenue Project by Mr. North. See the attached memo to the Policy Committee from the CAC regarding
the actions taken on this agenda item.
The next item of business
discussed was the SAFETEA-LU Gap Document.
Mr. Thomas mentioned that the MPO will prepare a separate document to
address the SAFETEA-LU requirements. In
addition, Mr. Tussing discussed the sections of the document on safety; project
selection criteria and expanding the operation of traffic management. Mr. North discussed the new format to the
TIP (Transportation Improvement Program) document. The TIP will become a 4-year document instead of a 3-year
document. The worksheets will be
changed to cover a 4-year period in the first section of the TIP document and
the long-range section of the document will cover a 2-year period because of
the changes with federal law. In
addition, the Long-Range Transportation Plan will be a 4-year document instead
of a 5-year document. Also, Mr. Thomas
talked briefly about the interagency cooperation for all plans.
The next item of business
discussed was the Public Information Process by Mr. Bissonette. Mr. Bissonette mentioned that the Visual
Preference Survey is the core of MPO Comprehensive Plan.
The next item of business
discussed was the vacancies on the Citizens Advisory Committee. Committee members declared 4 positions
vacant on the CAC to include: City Ward 2, County at Large, Jones County and
the Board of Education.
Being no further business to
discuss, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:00 pm.

recorded tape is available in the planning office for detail minutes from the January
