TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARAN A
MEETING DATE:
March 7, 2006
AGENDA ITEM: L. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: James R. DeGrood, P.E. Assistant Town Manager
SUBJECT Resolution No. 2006-41: Relating to Boards and Commissions;
approving the appointment of Ed Honea to the Regional
Transportation Authority
DISCUSSION
Councilmember Robert Allen has been representing the Town of Marana on the Regional
Transportation Authority Board since October of 2005. The Pima Association of Governments
representative for the Town is Mayor Ed Honea, and many other jurisdictions have the same
person representing them on both the Pima Association of Governments and Regional
Transportation Authority Boards. With the completion of the Regional Transportation Authority
Plan and the upcoming Regional Transportation Authority election, the number of Regional
Transportation Authority meetings has diminished and are now frequently scheduled in
conjunction with Pima Association of Governments meetings.
Most of the other communities in the region are represented by their Mayor or Chairman. To be
consistent with the other communities in the region, it would be appropriate to appoint Ed Honea
to the Regional Transportation Authority as the Marana representative, in addition to his role on
the Pima Association of Governments Regional Council. Mr. Honea has agreed to accept this
role.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the appointment of Ed Honea to the RTA board.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move approval of Resolution No. 2006-41.
