BACKGROUND
There is currently one vacancy on the Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) for a County of Napa representative due to term expiration. The County Executive Office advertised the vacancy and received one reappointment request from Alexander Crown, for a fourth term.
On December 16, 2015 Resolution No. 15-25 was adopted by the Napa County Transportation and Planning Agency, which transitioned the VINE Consumer Advisory Committee to the Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) and amended the advisory committee bylaws expanding the membership to include a member to represent the County of Napa. On February 17, 2016 Resolution No. 16-02 was adopted by the NVTA Board, effective January 2016, changing the meeting schedule language, and on July 20, 2016 Resolution No. 16-17 was adopted by the NVTA Board amending the CAC Bylaws to reflect a correction in agency name and in committee membership representation.
The purpose of the CAC is to address Napa Valley's growing congestion issues and to provide advice, comments and suggestions pertaining to plans, programs and projects administered by the NVTA and of interest to the citizens of Napa County. The functions of the CAC include, but are not limited to: 1) advise NVTA staff and Board on plans including, but not limited to, Countywide Transportation Plans, Short Range Transit Plans, Active Transportation Plans, and project specific plans; and 2) advise NVTA staff and Board on consumer issues related to the design of the Vine transit system and its ancillary systems/services, performance, policies, marketing and communications.
The CAC consists of 19 members representing the following constituencies: one resident from Napa County and one resident from each of the cities of American Canyon, Napa, St. Helena, Calistoga, and the Town of Yountville; one member each representing Vintners, Agriculture, Hospitality, Environmental Interests, Senior Population, Students, Non-profit organization and/or Education Field, Active Transportation Interests, Low Income Housing Interests, the Paratransit Coordination Council, Health and Human Service Interests and/or Healthcare Field, and a Member at Large.
All members, while understanding that they may have been appointed by virtue of a particular position or interest they hold or represent, must also understand that they represent all the citizens of the community as CAC members.
