Additions or Changes to the Agenda <br /> 23 <br /> 24 A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to pull <br /> 25 item 7-a, Bicycle Safety Task Force Appointment, since there had been some confusion about <br /> 26 the application process, and she would like to send it back to the OUTBoard for more <br /> 27 discussion. She asked if the item could be brought back to the Board of County <br /> 28 Commissioners (BOCC) at the June 21st meeting. <br /> 29 Commissioner Dorosin said he would like to know what happened. <br /> 30 Commissioner Rich said the OUTBoard recommended a different slate of applicants <br /> 31 than that which was included in the abstract. She said the OUTBoard was not notified of edits <br /> 32 and changes to the membership roster, and thus, she would like the OUTBoard to review the <br /> 33 roster of applicants one more time. <br /> 34 Commissioner Dorosin said he thought the Clerk's office was involved in this process. <br /> 35 Donna Baker said her office was not involved, and the process was done by the <br /> 36 OUTBoard, per the direction of the BOCC. <br /> 37 Commissioner Dorosin asked if there was a timeline imposed for the process. <br /> 38 Abigaile Pittman, Orange County Planning, said there was an application process, which <br /> 39 the OUTBoard was involved in developing.

She said the OUTBoard <br /> 43 recommended that the BOCC or the Manager ask the Sheriff to make an appointment from his <br /> 44 department. She said the OUTBoard also originally requested that Bonnie Hauser be notified, <br /> 45 as she was involved with the issue from the vehicular side. She said she did notify Bonnie <br /> 46 Hauser by sending her the PSA, but received no application from her. <br /> 47 Abigaile Pittman said Laurie Paolicelli, Orange County Community Relations Director, <br /> 48 was removed from the roster when the Manager correctly noted that the membership category <br /> 49 that Laurie Paolicelli was filling was supposed to be from the Visitors Bureau (VB), not an <br /> 50 employee of Orange County.
