TAC appoints environmental community representative and selects new chair; routine items approved unanimously

Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission Transportation Advisory Committee · April 1, 2026

Summary

At its June 4 meeting the TAC accepted a volunteer for TAC chair (Phillip Peterson) as Bryan Osborne steps down, supported Holly Francis for the TAC Environmental Community seat with Kris Stepenuck as alternate, and approved the consent agenda and May 7 minutes by unanimous vote.

The Transportation Advisory Committee acknowledged the end of Bryan Osborne’s tenure as TAC Chair and solicited a volunteer to succeed him; Phillip Peterson (Burlington) volunteered to serve as the new TAC Chair during the meeting. Members offered congratulations and thanks to Osborne for his service.

On the committee membership front, Bryan Davis reported the TAC Environmental Community seat was vacant and that two candidates had introduced themselves at the May meeting. TAC members signaled support for Holly Francis as the Environmental Community representative with Kris Stepenuck as alternate; Bryan Davis agreed to notify the candidates of the arrangement.

Routine procedural business was completed early in the meeting. Sam Andersen moved to approve the consent agenda; Sandy Thibault seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Bob Henneberger moved to approve the May 7, 2024 minutes; Bruce Hoar seconded and that motion also passed unanimously.

Why this matters: leadership and membership changes affect committee representation and workflow. The chair’s role includes agenda setting and liaison work with CCRPC staff; the Environmental Community seat is intended to represent natural-resources and environmental-justice interests.

Next steps: Bryan Davis will communicate committee appointments; Phillip Peterson will assume TAC chair duties.
