used in the past, Bill determined that $91,000 should again be the amount of the withdrawal this year. The T.M. wants to withdraw an additional $46,000 for the REV bus. TAC has mixed feelings about this. a.We are concerned for Lexpress’ future if the funds are diminished at a faster rate than determined by TAC's formula. b.We agree the TDM money is for transportation but the REV bus is really for Hartwell Ave businesses and was supposedly going to be underwritten by them. c.There does not seem to be a long-term plan for funding the REV bus. d. (On the return trip to Alewife?) TAC would like to see a stop at Stop & Shop and at Pleasant St. e.On the way to Hartwell, we think the bus should make a stop at Depot Square. We delayed the vote until we have a letter to the T.M. with a statement about his proposal that TAC agrees on. Hank will draft a letter and send it to us for comments. 4.For future meetings, we decided to continue meeting the second Monday of the month. We compromised our start time at 3:30. This can be revisited after we see how it works. 5.There were no member reports. Meeting adjourned at 4:15.
