Item 14
14. Consider and take appropriate action on the appointment of alternates for the travis county appointments to the capital area metropolitan planning organization (campo) transportation policy board. Any discussion?
>> i believe we submitted memos listing our -- our -- our candidates. I mean our proxy. I have one for -- for jeff mill that's i know was sent to your office and i have mine. Do we need to read these into the record?
>> yeah, i think that would probably be good. I guess my question is when i read that provision, my thinking was if i were going to miss a meeting, i could appoint an alternate for that meeting, as long as i did it in writing before the meeting. If it's delivered to the -- to the -- i saw that and i read it.
>> they have to be authorized by the court.
>> they have to be authorized by the court in advance.
>> uh-huh.
>> okay. So the only thing left, i believe, is -- is to have your designation as well, judge.
>> hum. So where are we getting the -- okay. B is what we're looking at?
>> uh-huh.
>> okay. Why don't we read the others into the record, by the time we got done with that i will have mine done
>> [laughter]
>> i think we are all just reading each other's into the record.
>> i would like the following people an pointed as alternates for me. Commissioner sarah eckhardt, jeff mills, Sunset Valley mayor, and judge biscoe, travis county.
>> what are you going to do? Do you have to have a separate motion for each one of them.
>> i think one motion cover all of them.
>> covering all of them will be sufficient. Okay, thank you.
>> jeff mills recommends
>> [indiscernible] i ask that the commissioners appoint the following people as alternates for me, commissioner sarah eckhardt, commissioner sarah huber and county judge sam biscoe.
>> i had in mind -- essentially we are duplicating here, judge sam biscoe, karen huber, mayor jeff mills or his successors, the travis county appointee to the campo policy board. I did add councilmember chris riley just in case some emergency was happening with the county and none of us were there --
>> forethought.
>> but it could be --
>> i should add another as well, might not be a bad idea.
>> it could be any city council representative on campo, i just -- picked one in the event that something was happening at the county and we were all tied up.
>> mine would be commissioner eckhardt, one and commissioner huber, two. Leave it at that. I think the rest of the policy board needs to know about b there. In the past i don't think that's been done.
>> it's been fully understood, yeah.
>> i agree. That's a good point.
>> okay.
>> move approval.
>> so i'm doing two.
>> okay.
>> second.
>> discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. Now, we will be fully compliant. I believe that does it for today, y'all.
>> move adjourn.
