It will be Ms. Colburn's responsibility to chair meetings, periodically (maybe even monthly beginning when the technical reports are close to submission to the District) with the District 8 Environmental Staff to address issues, comments, and to answer questions. Ms. Colburn will also be tasked to review each and every Technical Report written by our environmental subconsultant prior to submission to the District, and to perform this review with an eye towards commenting on what the Caltrans reviewer would comment on for the initial submittal of these reports- In this manner, Ms. Colburn will be able to perform a Caltrans-style review of the reports prior to submission to Ca/trans. This process should ensure the team only receives a limited set of comments once the reports are submitted to Caltrans, that can be easily addressed, and therefore the approval of the report should be expected by the CITY upon the second submission. Ms. Colburn is uniquely qualified for this role, having served in the District for a number of years providing these type of services while being employed by Caltrans. Our team, and this project, will greatly benefit from the experience Ms. Colburn will be able to apply towards a more efficient and streamlined environmental process. In this way, the CITY can benefit by expecting the environmental approval sooner, rather than later.
