The City is still looking to fill three open positions and the application deadline has been extended to Friday, June 30, by 5 pm

DIXON, CA (MPG) - The City of Dixon needs you--especially if you care about traffic safety like how long it takes your high school student to have emergency vehicles get to them, downtown parking, or the speed demons showing up on Pitt School Road, for example. This is a board of local residents who learn to navigate the legalities of traffic ebb and flow inside city limits.

The bulk of those requirements are supplied by City staff, led by Deborah Barr, City of Dixon Senior Civil Engineer but there is still a needed consensus as not all city staff may live in Dixon and may not be familiar with the reality of our town.

This reporter served a term on TAC and was amazed at the complexities that are involved and learned much not only about traffic and parking but also about local government--despite not being an engineer nor an elected official. Citizens bring up concerns and possible solutions are found and discussed then forwarded to the City Council. The Commission meets every other month inside the Council Chambers.

After several deadline extensions, the City is still looking to fill three open positions and the application deadline has been extended to Friday, June 30, by 5 pm. You do have to live in Dixon, but you do not have to have any experience--just a willingness to serve your community.

The TAC is an advisory body to the City Council on matters pertaining to traffic, transportation, and parking issues. Commissioners serve 4-year terms, with a maximum of two consecutive terms. All three vacancies are four-year terms expiring on June 30, 2025. The TAC meets at 7 pm on the third Wednesday of even-numbered months. A stipend of $75 per meeting attended is paid to each Commissioner

Interested Dixon residents may obtain an application at City Hall, 600 East A Street, by calling 678-7000, or by visiting the City’s website at www.cityofdixon.com. For more information or questions, contact: Lupe Ruiz, Administrative City Clerk at (707) 678-7000, Ext. 1116.
