6. <br />There was discussion about who should review and comment on the Draft Plan. <br />Selkirk asked for clarification of what should be done by the Planning Board to <br />move the plan forward and keep the process moving. McCalip responded <br />giving the recommendations of the Task Force from its fifth meeting as follows: <br />1. That a permanent and formal bicycle advisory committee be formed; <br />2. Dedicate staff to support the advisory committee; <br />3. Update the 1974 Bikeways Act; <br />4. That this task force remain together until after TIP project E3606 is <br />complete ($50,000.00 that the State has programmed for Orange <br />County to develop a bicycle suitability map). <br />McCalip noted that he had asked that the funding be held until the plan was <br />completed. The suitability analysis was done in 1995. <br />Strayhom and other Boazd members did not endorse a "full time" staff person to <br />support the Bike Advisory Committee. However, they did endorse part-time <br />support to the BAC. <br />It was the consensus of the Board that the specific recommendations of the Task <br />Force be included in the recommendation to the County Commissioners. <br />MOTION: Brooks moved to accept and forwazd the plan to the County Commissioners <br />with the recommendations of the Bicycle Task Force with part-time staff <br />support. Seconded by Price. <br />VOTE: Unanimous. <br />Meeting adjourned 10:35 p.m. <br />Prepared By <br />Approved By <br />Date <br />
