At that time, he was appointed to succeed resigning member Mr. William Stone. The term of office for CAC members, who serve their county or municipality in a voluntary capacity, is four (4) years. Members in good standing can then be re-appointed by their jurisdiction, or a successor selected. In updating our files recently, and subsequently speaking with Mr. Lochrane, I found that his re-appointment to a term ending in June 2002 was never formalized by the City of Winter Springs. Thus, I am requesting that the City formally reappoint their CAC representative for the remainder of the current term. METROPLAN ORLANDO is the regional transportation partnership for Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties. As the only tri-county metropolitan planning organization (MPO) in Florida, we are responsible for planning and prioritizing transportation projects in the Orlando metropolitan area. The CAC helps ensure that area citizens are involved in the transportation planning process. Among their responsibilities, members review transportation studies and findings, assess public reaction to planning proposals, and provide comment to METROPLAN ORLANDO with respect to community concerns. I appreciate your willingness to discuss this matter at your January 10, 2000 City Commission meeting. A copy of the CAC bylaws is enclosed, as is our FY 1998/1999 Annual Report. If I can answer any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 407-481- .~~, 5672 extension 306. "'\tj~i;' " . , ;,:;~j: . ~ ii 1,:- .~:.~ : W:': ;iJ' .
