BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)
The letter suggested that appointing a Board Member who also is a Transportation
Authority Member would be to the County' s advantage, since a number of the
County' s interest could be represented by one person.
In response to MTC' s request, the Board of Supervisors, May 10, 1994, appointed
Supervisor Gayle Bishop to the Altamont Pass Interregional Transportation
Corridor Study Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) .
Since that appointment, Supervisor Gayle Bishop has requested that Supervisor
Tom Torlakson serve on the PAC to represent the County' s interest in East County
on transportation matters . The County' s primary interest in the participation
of the Altamont Corridor Study is that to improve transportation conditions in
the County from Central Valley commuter and truck traffic, specifically on East
Bay destination routes in the areas of Tri-Valley and East County. ,
The Transportation Committee recommends the appointment of Supervisor Tom
Torlakson to the PAC.
