Summary
The transit operations director told the commission a WISDOT grant application is due Dec. 10, an FTA triannual review begins in December and staff turnover has created recordkeeping challenges; the mayor plans to advertise the director position soon.
The operations director reported to the Wausau Transit Commission that staff are preparing a WISDOT grant application due Dec. 10 and that the Federal Transit Administration will conduct a triannual review beginning in December.
The director told commissioners the review is a comprehensive audit of operations and that staff workloads will increase during the review period. He said recent turnover has left gaps in administrative recordkeeping, though a staff member, Yvonne, has maintained records that staff can use while files are reorganized.
The director said the mayor plans to post the transit director position soon so a new director can be hired to assist operations. Staff did not present or ask the commission to approve specific budget changes at the meeting; the remarks were informational and procedural in nature.
