Commissioner volunteers for Access Transportation task force as service changes loom
Summary
Following budget hearings with Access Transportation, the commission discussed forming a multi-jurisdictional task force to address service reductions; Commissioner Nathan Liger volunteered to represent the county.
County Administrator Darren Myers briefed the commission on prior budget hearings with Access Transportation and asked whether a county commissioner would join a proposed task force of local governments and organizations to address service changes and funding challenges.
Myers explained the task force is intended to coordinate city, county and other area stakeholders to identify service needs and alternative arrangements. Commissioner Nathan Liger volunteered to serve on the task force and asked Myers to inform Access Transportation representatives of the county's participant.
The commission did not take a formal vote on task-force establishment at the July 4 meeting; Myers said staff would notify the Access Transportation contacts about the volunteer commissioner and the group was expected to continue meeting to discuss options for maintaining service.
What happens next: staff will inform Access Transportation contacts and coordinate schedule and membership for the task force.
