BACKGROUND , ., Councilman Prescott recently voiced concern regarding the present meeting time of the Orange County Transportation Commission. The meeting time is during the' daytime hou¢s which makes it difficult for local officials, business persons, and citizens of the community to participate. As the Council i-s aware, there are major traffic related projects currently being reviewed by the Transportation Commission which impact the City of Tusti. n. It would be a great benefit to the County of Orange and the City of Tustin to make the opportunity available for as many interested and concerned parties to participate in public hearings before the Transportation Commission. Scheduling evening meetings of the Commission is one way to provide this opportunity. The attached resolution encourages the Orange County Transportation Commission to schedule meetings in the evening hours to encourage greater participation in the public review process by making it more convenient for individuals to attend their meetings.
