Commissioner volunteers for Access Transportation task force as service changes loom
Summary
County administrator said Access Transportation may reduce services because of funding shortfalls; the commission agreed to appoint a commissioner to a proposed task force to seek solutions and asked staff to report the volunteer to Access Transportation.
County Administrator Darren Myers reminded the commission July 4 that Access Transportation had previously presented about service reductions tied to funding challenges and said a task force with city, county and other organizations was discussed to explore options.
"...it was discussed to possibly form a task force through the city, the county, and some other organizations within the area to join together on a task force to try to figure out some of those needs," Myers said. He asked whether a commissioner would volunteer to participate; one commissioner agreed to serve and staff were asked to forward the volunteer's name to Access Transportation representatives.
The commission did not take formal action beyond identifying a volunteer and asking staff to coordinate; the item will feed into further discussions during budget hearings and follow-up with outside agencies.
