Title
A substitute ordinance relating to the transit stop technical advisory committee.
Sections
101-44-1 am
320-28 am
Analysis
Presently, the 3-member transit stop technical committee approves all bus stop locations within the city. This ordinance renames the committee the "transit stop technical advisory committee" and provides that the common council shall approve each bus stop location, following receipt of a recommendation from the committee. The committee must make its recommendations within 30 days of the date on which the city clerk refers to the committee the proposed bus stop location; if it fails to make a recommendation within 30 days, the council may act on a proposed bus stop location without a committee recommendation.
It is the intent of the sponsor of this ordinance to assign, by common council motion, responsibility for reviewing and approving bus stop locations to the council's public works committee.
