Thompson continued Reported that in his capacity as Chair of the OCTA Citizens
Advisory Committee, due to the extreme economic conditions
that have been arising over the last few months, he would like to
offer suggestions to staff:
• take a strong look at rail transit goals and policies
particularly as related to station expansion;
• look at modifying land use around the stations; if stations
are to become more intensely used, incentives should be
provided around the stations to add to the efficiency and
the use; and,
• get projects ready in order to take advantage of federal
funds; there should be rewards to agencies that are
complying with the Master Plan of arterial highways and
bikeways; there should be incentives to cities who provide
throughways in their cities, as the City of Tustin has done
and plans to continue doing with the Legacy development.
Indicated that the Infrastructure Committee meeting with the
Orange County Business Council provided an update of the
state's current condition of financing and the federal
government's economic stimulus funding; the State of
California's bonding status is now ranked 50th; there is
disagreement about the effectiveness of the federal stimulus
package.

Stated that he attended the Metropolitan Water District tour of
Diamond Valley Lake a week ago; the tour was very interesting;
he had the opportunity to tour that area about 15 years ago
during the early construction; with this last rain, there should be a
