Trailblazer board tables WCAT withdrawal plans until January meeting
The Trailblazer Transit Joint Powers Board on Thursday tabled action on a possible withdrawal by WCAT (Wright County Area Transportation) until January, hoping that a change in board membership will bring “fresh eyes” to the situation.
In November, WCAT announced its intention to withdraw from the Trailblazer Transit joint powers agreement because of lingering issues surrounding a workplace enviromental study and a letter of reprimand that had been issued to Trailblazer Executive Director Gary Ludwig.
Thursday’s meeting was the last for McLeod County Commissioner Sheldon Nies and WCAT member Jack Russek, a member of the Delano City Council, both of whom chose not to seek re-election this year.
