The Executive Committee of SEMCOG meets at 1 p.m. on Friday, April 27, 2007, in SEMCOG's Buhl Building offices in downtown Detroit.

The Executive Committee will be asked to take action on the following:

• approve an amendment to the FY 2006-2008 Transportation Improvement Program to add 55 projects and delete four projects; total net increase from this amendment is $164.3 million, representing increases of $129.9 million in federal and $34.4 million in state funding;
• approve 36 projects (totalling $6 million) as Southeast Michigan’s submittal for the 2008 Safety Program;
• recommend General Assembly adoption of amendments to SEMCOG’s Bylaws; one of the amendments provides for the regular use of a population-weighted voting system, in addition to the modified one-government, one-vote system (using keypads); and
• approve SEMCOG procurement of consultant assistance for the Low Impact Development project.

Jim Rogers, SEMCOG Data Center Manager, will present in-depth information on our region’s increasing diversity. Following this presentation, Daniel Krichbaum, Executive Director of the National Conference for Community Justice, will provide insight into the mission of his organization and the impact of diversity on the region’s economy.

In an effort to make SEMCOG information available as widely as possible, the Executive Committee agenda is available on SEMCOG's Web site. The online version of the agenda includes all portions of it available to SEMCOG electronically. The public is invited to comment on any item on the agenda.
