RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Agency appoint two new members to the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC).

 

SUMMARY

In order to comply with the California Public Utilities Code Section 99238, the RTPA is required to have a nine-member SSTAC in place. During the past year two members have resigned from the Council and replacement members are needed.

 

DISCUSSION

The SSTAC is an active committee that is required by state law to make annual recommendations concerning unmet transit needs.  California Public Utilities Code Section 99238 requires the SSTAC to consist of specific members of the community who are disabled, elderly or of limited means, or who are from social services agencies, which provide for those who are disabled, elderly or of limited means.  Members are appointed by the Agency for one-year, two-year, and three-year terms.  New members receive one-year terms.  Currently, several members have resigned and replacement members are needed for one-year terms.

 

In order to fill these vacancies a request was made of SSTAC members for candidates.  Members were asked to respond via email. Larry Scarborough of Far Northern Regional Center and Kay Hudelson of Golden Umbrella have been recommended for appointment.  Both have actively been participating in SSTAC meetings as non-members, and have completed an application for appointment.

 

It is recommended that Larry Scarborough and Kay Hudelson be appointed for one-year terms to the SSTAC committee.

 

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

The SSTAC and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) supports the recommended appointments.

 

FINANCING

There are no financial impacts associated with appointing citizens to the SSTAC.
