  • Twisp and Omak Meeting Summary
    Twisp Meeting Summary May 14, 2019 Chair Jerry Litt opened the Twisp meeting at 11:00 am with introductions by Commissioners. Commission Business Commissioner Tortorelli moved and Commissioner Jennings seconded the motion approving the April 16, 2019 meeting summary. The motion was approved unanimously. Reema Griffith then gave a status update on adding new members to the Autonomous Vehicle Work Group Executive Committee, as described last month. Roger Millar, Secretary, Washington State Department of Transportation, expressed concern about the lack of representation from additional interest groups, particularly non-car centric groups. Secretary. Millar suggested the Commission consider up to 45 members. Chair Litt said that 30 members (doubling its size) is expansive, and that 45 may be unwieldly. Commissioner Restucci is sympathetic to Secretary Millar’s concern about representation, but has concern about the Work Group growing too large to be effective. ACTION: Commissioner Batra moved approval of the addition of the two additional members: Joe Rutan, Whatcom County (Washington State Association of Counties) and Brenda Wiest (Washington State Labor Council). Commissioner Jennings seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously. Transportation 101 Paul Parker, Deputy Director, Washington State Transportation Commission, gave a 5 minute version of Transportation 101, an overview of Washington’s transportation system. Transportation 101 City Transportation Issues, Challenges and Successes Soo Ing-Moody, Mayor, City of Twisp, talked about the evolution of Twisp and the Methow Valley from a town and region based on extraction industries to arts and culture tourism. Twisp has a state highway as main street, splitting the town and causing land use and safety concerns which Twisp is seeking to address with an Economic Revitalization Master Plan.
