9. REVIEW STRATEGIC PLAN/PREPARATION FOR TCDA/TCAC JOINT MEETING
Sean briefly reviewed proposed changes to the TCAC Strategic Plan included with the Agenda. Daniel asked
that the term multimodal, under Connectivity and Access 1)b., be changed. Sean proposed “…safety and
accessibility for all transportation modes”, which was agreeable. For the upcoming Joint meeting with
TCDA on March 5, Chris volunteered to talk about Equitable Business Development and the Grants
program. Gabe will speak about the Affordable Housing and Houselessness. Bob will be asked to speak
about the Connectivity and Access. Commissioners were invited to attend in person or remotely.
10. PROJECT UPDATES

11. LETTERS OF SUPPORT
Sean discussed the two letters of support being requested. The first is for the RAISE Grant from the federal
Department of Transportation to build 72nd Ave. from Hwy 99W to Dartmouth which TCAC wrote a letter
for last year. The other letter was for a congressional earmark to Universal Plaza Phase 2 building the
shaded area and community room. There is a lot of competition for both. Commissioners authorized the
Chair and Vice Chair sign both letters.

the program guidelines specifically prohibit awards to residential-only buildings. In response to a

for new developments. This program has different criteria and is not available for existing buildings.
