PTS used to be involved in speed studies which was handy so the public could be aware of when studies were taking place so that they could comment. Please find a way of notifying the public. 2. Valley Center Spur – I spoke at the last County Road Matters meeting about Valley Center Spur issues with the public ignoring the stop light prior to the rail tracks when traveling North on the Spur. The MDT Transportation Commissioner attended that meeting. The County Commissioners also noted how it is a dangerous situation and people actually end up blocking the railroad. The issue of people moving to the forward stop bar occurs because you cannot see the “wait here” sign while waiting at the first stop bar in front of the tracks. You then look up and see a red arrow pointing at a red circle only a few feet away with a stop bar at Frontage Road. Since there is no-one waiting at the forward stop sign, you think the red arrow is telling you to move forward to the red circle. So you move forward. Then you are able to make a right turn on red - which is very dangerous and has been known to cause deaths. This is a liability situation that needs to be addressed to prevent a serious crash. 00:22:08 Don Jackson, Public Comment Dan hopes that this committee could examine or be the Catalyst to determine the feasibility of including West Griffin Drive in the state highway. The state highway system would provide a link between Highway 86 and Highway 205 and I-90 at the North 7th and Griffin Drive intersection. Highway designation which potentially could be beneficial to both timing and funding for future above or below grade railroad crossing on Griffin. Billings Clinic is currently constructing our next major medical facility connecting Highway 86 directly to I90 would be beneficial for this committee to determine the feasibility and to support including West Griffin Drive in the state highway.

He spoke about the planning process, the study area and what was considered. 00:45:10 Questions from Community Members 00:45:15 Ralph Zimmer asked if the study would involve the connection through the Valley Center spur between frontage road path on the North side and the Valley Center path on the south side? 00:47:47 Paul Reichart asked what entities approve this plan and do the final contents of this plan include a capital improvement project list? 00:51:51 Public Comment 00:51:54 Marilee Brown, Public Comment Marilee commented about the confusion of the boundaries and how she was unable to do public comment on the wiki map. 00:54:18 Ralph Zimmer asked about which railroad crossings where in the plan. c. 01:10:16 Amend TCC Bylaws TCC Bylaws 2009 Signed Final Bylaw Members TCC MOA Chair Lonsdale started the discussion on bylaws and the agreement 01:13:22 Chair Lonsdale spoke about the recommendations and changes in the MOA and in the bylaws. 01:21:23 Dan Martin spoke about adding new committee members and how if they do not show up to the meetings we are making it harder to form a quorum. 01:22:29 Ralph Zimmer made an observation that a voting member can designate a proxy to attend the meeting. 01:22:51 Motion c. to add the County Chief of Staff as a voting member to the membership list. Ralph Zimmer: Motion None : 2nd 7 Transportation Coordinating Committee Meeting Minutes, January 26, 2022 Page 5 of 5 01:23:31 Chair Lonsdale is going to make a suggestion to take recommendations and put them in a memo with a copy of the MOA and distribute to the signatories of the MOA for revision. Chair Lonsdale will add Ralph's recommendation. 01:25:26 Ralph would like it included in the memo to make it clear in the bylaws that there should only be one vote per person. 01:26:50 Sunshine Ross commented that adding the County Chief of Staff would create an even number on the board and we would not want that. We would want an odd number. Clarifying question from Ralphs question about having only one vote. Does that mean that they cannot act as a proxy for someone else? 01:28:11 Chair Lonsdale stated that the committee will not be voting on revising the bylaws today because with Dan Martin's Departure we know longer have a quorum. 01:28:53 Taylor asked for additional input on what the board would like to see with respect to the membership list and how the signatory agencies have with the MOA. The Chair will add the following items. • Addition of the County Chief of Staff • Retain the School District, MSU and Transit as voting members • Provide clarity with respect that each person only gets one vote 01:29:49 Mitch Buthod added that if the current MOA has the city of Bozeman planning board as a signatory and I think you said you wanted to remove the planning board as a signatory we would need to dissolve the MOA in written form between all existing signatories and start from scratch essentially because it would not be able to amend the MOA if they have for four signatory’s instead of five. My suggestion would be instead of removing the planning board to replace it with the Community Development Board as the successor to the previous planning board. If we remove the City planning board as a signatory then he recommends removing the County planning board for fairness. G. 01:32:18 PUBLIC COMMENT #2 There was no addition public comment.
