Directors are attached to this Staff Report.
In the time that has passed since the Board took action with respect to the formation of MAC, a
final application form (attached) has been developed and distributed. Information has been sent
to former MUG members as well as MASTF members (attached). Additionally signs in both
English and Spanish have been placed in the METRO Buses (attached) soliciting interest from
individuals who might be want to have a member of the Board nominate them for membership in
the new MAC. In response to the information that has been distributed METRO has received
applications from thirteen (13) individuals who would like to have a Board Member nominate
them for membership in MAC. A list of the individuals that applied for MAC nomination is
attached to this Staff report. The attached list is provided for the convenience of the Members of
the Board. Board members may select an individual from the attached list for nomination to
MAC. However, Board Members may instead submit the name of any individual that they prefer
for consideration by the full Board.
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors identify individuals that they would like to
nominate for appointment to the MAC and transmit the names to Administrative Services
Coordinator Dale Carr for inclusion in a Staff Report that will be presented for review on March
12, 2004. Staff members will then review the nominees to insure that four of the nominees are
people with disabilities as required by the MAC Bylaws. It is recommended that final
appointment actions be taken by the Board of Directors on March 26, 2004. It is anticipated that
the first MAC Meeting will be held on April 21, 2004.
