B Discussion regarding the creation of of a Transportation Advisory Board for the City of Georgetown - Paul E.
Brandenburg, City Manager
Brandenburg explained to Council that the creationof this board is needed to handle the transportation
projects other than those funded by sales tax and coordinated by the Georgetown Transportation
Enhancement Corporation {GTEC} Board. He said he feels much of the transportation network impacts not
only the City, but also the County and other areas in the region and he said he feels there needs to be an
authority to review such items as the Transportation Model. He said it has been recommended that the
Board be composed of representatives from the County, Georgetown Independent School District, GTEC,
the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority, as well as some
citizens at large. He asked for Council's direction and noted that if the Council approves the creation, an
ordinance will be brought back for their consideration. There was discussion and questions from the
Council. Smith suggested there be an advocate on the Board to represent elderly citizens who do not drive.
