This committee has two functions. One function is public information. The other function is involvement. Public Information means getting out and informing our public about what is going on in the way of transportation. Our responsibility as the Citizens Advisory Committee is to have town meetings if necessary to let citizens see what road development activities are planned for their immediate area and what the impact of this could be in the future.
Road work is planned all over the county.
Those who are going to be directly affected are not informed. The first responsibility of this committee is to inform them and find out how they feel about it and then tell the Policy Committee or others what the people feel. There are funds in the Unified Planning Work Program that could be spent for public town meetings. All 30 members of this committee should accept responsibility particularly for their own areas and from time to time put on presentations or information programs to find out what residents are thinking about when it comes to transportation issues. This committee should be more forward and ahead of the game by providing public information and finding out what the public feels about the policies and plans of the government.
