*********
Secretary Bergquist updated the Commission on the two Legislative Summer Studies. The first meeting is scheduled for June 23 and 24, 2009, with the first day being devoted to the sunset study and the second day focusing on highway needs and funding. Commissioners are welcome to attend and there is some indication the committee may want to hear from one or more of the commissioners. Commissioner Marquardt requested the Department provide the Commissioners with a list of names on the Summer Study Committee.
Secretary Bergquist advised the Commission of the need for an Executive Session to discuss legal and contractual matters after completing the agenda items.
*********
Commissioner Gregerson asked how the Department would be handling requests for prohibiting off road vehicles from state highway right-of-way and does the Commission have rule make authority. He was advised that while the Commission was given the authority to prohibit use of highway right-of-way segments by off road vehicles, the legislation did not grant the Commission rule making authority. Constituents requesting closure of specific segments are being referred to their local Area Office and the Area Offices will gather the necessary information to be presented to the Commission after July 1, 2009.
*********
Secretary Bergquist requested the Transportation Enhancements be withdrawn from today’s meeting as we are still receiving applications and going through them. A conference call has been set for June 11, 2009, at 9 a.m. to award approval of the Transportation Enhancements.

The commission took a recess at 10:15 a.m. and reconvened at 10:25 a.m.
*********
The Commission discussed the topics of highway classification, functionality, and responsibility. Chairman Marquardt questioned whether the Department should be seeking to have some segments of state highway removed from the state system. This discussion included whether there were state highways that more properly should be on the county highway system and whether there were other roads being maintained by local government entities that should be on the state highway system. Secretary Bergquist and Bill Nevin discussed with the Commission the existing statutorily established process and requirements for removing a segment of highway from the state system. Secretary Bergquist advised the Commission it was likely this was a topic that would be considered by the Legislative Summer Study Committee examining the issues of highway needs and highway funding.
*********
Motion by Benson, seconded by Spies, for the Commission to go into Executive Session. The Commission went into Executive Session at 10:55 a.m. to discuss legal and contractual matters.
The Commission reconvened into Regular Session at 11:35 a.m.

There being no further business, at the hour of 11:45 a.m. the Transportation Commission adjourned.
