MPO Policy Committee amends its bylaws
The Policy Committee adopted amended bylaws (the sixth version since 2009). They set 11 voting members, based on the 2020 Census. The City of Amarillo has three: the mayor as chair, a council member who represents Amarillo City Transit (appointed by the mayor), and the city manager or a designee as vice chair. The others are the Potter and Randall county judges and one commissioner from each county, the TxDOT Amarillo District Engineer and one district staff member, the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission executive director, and the City of Canyon city manager. The bylaws name the City of Amarillo as fiscal agent. The same agenda listed revisions to the MTP and the FY 2025-2028 TIP.[1][2]
