TITLE:
Consideration of Appointments: Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority (NAIPTA) Transit Advisory Committee (TAC) Citizen Appointment - Alternate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Appoint ____________________________ to a three year term to expire September 2016.
Policy Decision or Reason for Action:
The NAIPTA TAC Rules of Procedure, Section 8.4, calls for the appointment of alternate members to the TAC. Shari Miller was appointed as the NAIPTA TAC representative on October 16, 2012, but an alternate was not designated at that time. The appointment is to be made by the City Council.
Financial Impact:
This is a voluntary position. There is no budgetary impact to the City of Flagstaff.
Connection to Council Goal:
Effective governance.
Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:
No.
Options and Alternatives:
1. Make the appointment from the available roster of candidates.
2. Table the appointment to allow time for further discussion or to expand the list of candidates.

Background/History:
The NAIPTA TAC reviews the draft Board of Directors' agenda and offers recommendations on transit-related issues within the NAIPTA boundary. The TAC meetings are generally held on the first Thursday of the month. Shari Miller was appointed as the NAIPTA TAC Citizen Representative on October 16, 2012 for a three year term. The Rules of Procedure also call for an alternate to attend in case the Representative has to be absent.
Key Considerations:
The appointment will assist the NAIPTA TAC in maintaining full board representation and avoid quorum issues. When the City of Flagstaff originally recruited for this appointment two applications of interest were received. One from Shari Miller (who received the appointment) and the other from Al White.
Al White was contacted to see if he had continued interest to serve on the NAIPTA TAC as the Citizen Representative Alternate and he does.

Expanded Financial Considerations:
None.
Community Benefits and Considerations:
The Citizen Representative, either personally or through the Alternate, plays an important role in being the voice of the general public for important transit issues and helps shape the future of transit for Flagstaff.
Community Involvement:
CONSULT: Feedback on issues brought to the NAIPTA Board of Directors through their regular monthly agenda will be sought and processed prior to the Board meeting.
