Red Bank vice mayor named vice chair of regional MPO executive board
Summary
The commission announced that the city's vice mayor has been nominated and accepted the role of vice chair of the Metropolitan Planning Organization executive board; the commission took no formal action.
Commissioners announced that the city’s vice mayor was nominated and confirmed as vice chair of the regional Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) executive board.
The nomination came to the commission for visibility; staff said no formal commission action was required. Director-level staff were named as the city’s technical representatives to MPO committees: Director Greg Tate will represent the city on the transportation coordination committee and the vice mayor will represent the city on the MPO executive board, with the city manager serving as alternate to both.
MPO matters coordinate regional federal transportation dollars across jurisdictions in North Tennessee and parts of North Georgia; the commission noted that having the city represented in MPO leadership will help Red Bank advocate for projects affecting Dayton Boulevard and other local corridors.
No vote was required or taken on the nomination; commissioners offered congratulations.
