CCNA Update
FES has suggested new CCNA language, which has been provided to the GAC for review. It would be prudent to invite an FES representative to attend a future GAC call to discuss this issue in more detail. In the meantime, GAC members should review the language that has been circulated and provide any feedback or comments they might have. The surveyors and mappers have indicated that they will oppose any attempts to amend the CCNA related to continuing contracts.
Trails
The GAC trails subcommittee needs to be established as soon as possible so that the subcommittee can meet and develop a task list, including a meeting with Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Jim Boxold and appropriate trails staff in order to coordinate with the Department and ensure that landscape architects are fully included in its new SunTrail program.
