Policy Decision or Reason for Action:
The City of Flagstaff established the Transportation Commission, as currently constituted and structured, in 2001 to serve as a citizen advisory group charged with taking a comprehensive, long-range and in-depth look at the broad range of transportation issues facing the City of Flagstaff (City). In 2006 the City became a member of the Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Transportation Authority (NAIPTA). The City values input and advice from NAIPTA, and establishing a permanent seat on the Transportation Commission for a NAIPTA representative will help increase transportation project coordination between the two agencies. This will result in seven voting members of the Transportation Commission, consisting of five at-large members from the general public, one member appointed to respresent the Flagstaff Unified School District, and one member appointed to represent NAIPTA.
The Transportation Commission is currently vested with appellate authority, hearing appeals of "traffic regulation decisions" made by the City Traffic Engineer. The City Traffic Engineer is currently supervised by the City Engineer, who ensures that the City Traffic Engineer's decisions are not arbitrary, that all necessary criteria have been met, and that all positions have been adequately considered.
Subsidiary Decisions Points: The Transportation Commission voted to recomend approval of this Resolution to the City Council.
