4 A. Call to Order and Welcome The Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) Roundtable was called to order by Mr. Kimball, at 11:43 a.m. on April 27, Introductions were provided. B. Public Comments Public comments opened at 11:50 a.m. and closed at 11:51a.m. No comments were received. C. Information: Review of RTP Roundtable Guidelines, Process and Schedule Mr. Kimball reminded the members that they were not a decision making body and that ultimately, the TCAG Board makes decisions, however this group would provide insight and guidance. Mr. Kimball explained that there would be formal agendas and minutes as well as a standing item to approve them and attendance would be tracked. Mr. Kimball requested that if a member was unable to make it to a future meeting, that they please send a substitute. Members discussed that participating by phone was an unlikely option, as that location had to be posted and disclosed as a public meeting site. Mr. Kimball stated that he would follow up with counsel regarding this. Mr. Smalley thanked the members for dedicating their time to the RTP/SCS and informed the members that this process takes two and a half years to complete and is updated every four years and required to be on schedule. Mr. Kimball gave an overview of the schedule, covered details, and welcomed public outreach ideas and reminded the group that last time Pixley, Cutler-Orosi, Terra Bella were places where outreach was conducted. Ms. Forte commented that CSET helped with advertising and daycare with these meetings and that they can work with whatever community groups they can contact. Mr. Winning mentioned that it would be helpful to include social media. D. Action: Election of Chairperson and Vice Chair Mr. Kimball reminded the group that only representatives from the eight cities or county were eligible to be chair.
