RECOMMENDATION
Appoint Councilmember Anthony Tordillos to the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) as an alternate.
DISCUSSION
VTA has rescheduled its monthly PAC meeting to a time that conflicts with the City’s bimonthly Neighborhood Services and Education (NSE) Committee. This overlap creates a potential conflict for Councilmember Peter Ortiz, who serves both as San José’s voting member on the VTA PAC and as Chair of the NSE Committee. Designating a VTA PAC alternate ensures consistent representation for San José during months when scheduling conflicts arise, and is an approach already used by most jurisdictions.
