REQUEST FOR APPOINTMENT OF DELEGATE FOR METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORATION AUTHORITY' S SALT GABRIEL SERVICE SECTOR COUNCIL
At tomorrow night's meeting; under Council agenda section VII. Matters From Officials I will
request that the City Council consider taking an emergency action to appoint me as the City's,
delegate to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's San Gabriel Service Sector Council.
Attached is a copy of correspondence from the San Gabriel Valley Council of Goverment
(SGVCOG) to the MTA's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Roger Snoble, submitting the names of the
current seven city delegates from SGVCOG cities (who are already serving on the Interim Joint
Powers Authority (LTPA)) for appointment to the San Gabriel Service Sector Council. The remaining
seven delegates not currently represented on the IJPA need to be appointed as soon as feasible.
In as much as the MTA Board will be considering approval of San Gabriel Service Sector Council
appointments at their upcoming meeting this Thursday, I am requesting that the Council consider an
emergency action to make the City's appointment, in order that our delegate will be formally seated
on Thursday.
The expansion of the appointees is necessary so that member cities that were not part of the original
LTPA will be able to have a voice in determining transit policies which affect Rosemead commuters.

Sector Council to allow for representation from all three County. Board of Supervisors
in San Gabriel Valley and four additional San Gabriel Valley cities currently not

the initial organization of the sector so that the full range of views and interests can be
included in order to enhance the chances of success for the transit restructuring effort.

The SGVCOG strongly urges the MTA Board to consider approvin_ the abot;e San
Gabriel Valley Service Sector Council delegates since our cities have ~vorked
together ail transportation issues of mutual interest Car over 10 years. 'Ke xre aware
that the•Service Sector was implemented on July I and man.v service changes
decisions will be coming before the Governance Council as they relate to the bus
interface plan with the implementation of the Goldline. The SGVCOG believes that
the LJPA delegates should be approved at the next PITA meeting. Should DATA not
approve the above recommended additional seven Service Sector Governance
Council representatives, then the above LIPA delegates will continue meeting to
represent San Gabriel Valley's interest and return Within ISO days with a revised
governance proposal.
\47e look forward to a successful partnership with NITA on implementing the San Gabriel
Vallev Service Sector. Please do not hesitate. to contact me or Nicholas T. Conway,
Executive Director, should you have any questions or comments regarding this impo;?ant
transportation matter.
