Motion to Approve Summary of Meeting for February 5, 2014 CHAIR PRO TEM BROWN inquired if there were any changes, additions or deletions to Summary of Meeting for February 5, 2014. MR. UMAN said in the February minutes the Committee was “promised” some follow up information in regards to the presentation on Glades Road and the current level of service (LOS) on the map and a list of “things” that would include LOS. He asked why there was no map about the projected LOS after all the changes were made so we can see the improvements. MR. UHREN said he did not provide it because he did not have it. He said that was a flaw in the consultant’s presentation and the reason the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) refused to endorse their recommendation and instead postponed their recommendation. MR. UMAN asked if there would be follow up. MR. UHREN said the consultant who is conducting the Glades Road PD&E study in making that recommendation will be coming back to the TAC in April to make an updated presentation.
