The coming year will provide increased challenges and opportunities that the Santa Clara
Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Board of Directors Board must address in order to
sustain and improve the county's transportation system, while maintaining the trust and
support of the public and the local governments of Santa Clara County. As the current
Board Chair, 1 am seeking your cooperation and active involvement in working together in
2006.
Section 2-11 of the VTA Administrative Code stipulates that: "The Board of Directors
consists of 12 voting members who are appointed by their respective appointing agencies
as provided in Public Utility Code Section 10060 on the basis of appointee's expertise,
experience or knowledge relative to transportation issues." Pursuant to the VTA
Administrative Code Section 2-13, "City and County Groupings; selection of Directors and
Alternates" and Section 2-14, "Selection of Directors and alternates by city groupings",
and the rotation agreements developed by each grouping, we are requesting you to rnake or
reaffirm your appointment ofto the VTA Board of Directors. Based on the current
rotation schedule, the City of Cupertino is scheduled to appoint a Director to the VT A
Board of Directors for a two year term, 2006 and 2007.
