ATTACHMENT 1 4 PLAN TO ADDRESS BOCC PETITION REGARDING OUTBOARD/BICYCLE SAFETY Proposed Structure • Venue: Full OUTBoard rather than a subcommittee due to staff and administrative capacity, and to ensure better attendance. • BOCC Representation: Unless others are identified, Commissioners Price and Jacobs will be noticed of meetings as the BOCC representatives to attend and participate in discussion when bicycle safety is an item on the OUTBoard's agenda. • Citizen Participation: All citizens are welcome to attend and participate in discussion. If participation is high, guidelines may need to be established to ensure that all have equal opportunity to participate, to stay on topic, and to ensure that any other required items are addressed by the OUTBoard during the course of its meetings. Mrs. Bonnie Hauser will receive personal notification as a citizen that has expressed appreciable interest in the topic. If there are any others that County Commissioners would like to identify to receive personal invite, please make staff aware. All OUTBoard meetings are notified consistent with public meeting law. • Public Outreach: o Notify identified stakeholders • Public notice via Carla Banks and News of Orange • Create brochure and use as a handout at meetings and to any interested parties • Task Objectives: o Review County authority and State law • Provide copy of County-endorsed bicycle routes (map) • Get updated on topic and recent activities • Define current problem statement • Create broad categories for addressing problem (education; law enforcement; NCDOT; etc.) • Suggest/recommend policies, procedures, etc. for addressing problem • Identify agencies, County departments, etc. for addressing problem • Calendar: Will attempt to resolve task over the course of three (3) OUTBoard meetings, and wrapped up by the end of May, 2015: Mtg. 1 — Intro, County authority and State law, update and recent activities; Mtg. 2 — Problem statement, categories for addressing problem, recommended policies and procedures, and identify agencies/departments for addressing problem; Mtg. 3 — Review recommendations/plan developed by staff, comment, and staff finalization and forwarding to BOCC. • BOCC Next Steps: Staff will report back to the BOCC in June with recommendations and seek direction for next steps or closure.
