15 • OUTBoard: Heidi Perry, Chair Heidi Perry said she has been the Chair of the OUTBoard since November, but the Board has not met since that time. She said the Office of Public Transportation (OPT) dominates four of the OUTBoard meetings each year. She said this past year the OUTBoard presented an outline for a Bicycle Safety Task Force to the BOCC. She said this outline is undergoing reviews and will be brought back to the BOCC in a revised format soon, with a focus on education. Heidi Perry said she has asked OPT to arrange for a bus trip to travel the new OPT routes, to allow for a greater understanding of exactly where the routes will run. Heidi Perry said so many boards overlap with transportation issues. She said it may be helpful to add in a few extra meetings solely dedicated to some of these overlap issues, specifically issues pertaining to pedestrians. • Parks and Recreation Council (PRC): Neal Bench, Chair Neal Bench thanked them for their approval of the PRC Master Plan.
