Service Sector Governance Councils’ Quarterly Meet and Confer
I'm sure bus operations will come up...Photo: SoCalMetro/FlickrAs I noted in my previous commentary "Metro In Transition", while the Sectors are being disbanded the Governance Councils continue in their role of providing oversight of Metro bus operations.
In the past the Councils had an annual joint meeting where they had an opportunity to have a dialogue with agency management. Art Leahy when attending the 2009 meeting last Oct. for the first time in his role as Metro CEO announced he would like to hold the meetings more quarterly to allow more frequent consultation on regional issues that cross sector boundaries.
On Tuesday Feb. 16th at 3 p.m. the first quarterly Sector Governance Council Meet and Confer will be held in the Metro Board Room, on the 3rd floor of the headquarters building adjacent to the Gateway Transit Plaza just east of Union Station.
The meeting will include an opportunity to present public comment. This is a chance in one setting to address Metro management/operations staff and Sector Governance Council members regarding any bus service issues you may feel worthy of airing. I'll be attending and besides making a few comments will be interested to hear any other public comments and also what the Governance Council members have to say and what kind of presentations Metro staff make. Hopefully it will be somewhat educational.
