Regional 1 task force votes to move to quarterly meetings and sets third‑Thursday schedule

The Regional 1 oversight task force voted to change its regular schedule from monthly meetings to quarterly meetings, with the project consultants providing monthly written updates.

Commissioner JW Gibson moved the first motion to change the cadence; the motion passed by voice vote. At the same meeting the task force set the quarterly meetings for the third Thursday at 1:30 p.m.; members voted to adopt that date and time and identified Oct. 16 as the next meeting.

Why it matters: The schedule change reduces the task force's in‑person meeting frequency while preserving regular written updates from staff and consultants. Task force members said quarterly meetings are appropriate at the current procurement and design stage, with the option to call special meetings if issues arise.

Task force direction: Staff (Kim Brown, Van Turner and project management representatives) will provide a consolidated monthly status email to the task force; task force will meet in person quarterly with the option of special meetings as needed.

Ending: The task force adopted the new cadence and instructed staff to circulate monthly written updates between quarterly meetings.
