Approved 9/20/2017 632 Abigaile Pittman answered that she had received some emails from folks who volunteered to assist on agenda items 633 as needed. These volunteers may not attend every meeting but could assist as needed, which is appropriate for 634 someone not formally on the subcommittee. She added that County Staff is available from Planning and also Todd 635 McGee from Community Relations and Melissa Blackburn who does graphic design, and perhaps someone from the 636 Visitor's Center. She said that they can request different County Staff from the appropriate departments as needed. 637 638 Alex Castro asked about the structure of the subcommittee noted in Attachment 2. In referenced to item 6.b. on 639 voting rights on the subcommittee; he asked why those with voting power had to be members of the OUTBoard. 640 641 Abigaile Pittman answered that the advisory policies adopted by the BOCC set the voting rights for OUTBoard 642 subcommittee members. 643 644 Heidi Perry asked why the BOCC would not approve the original members of the Bicycle Safety Report Taskforce to 645 be kept on the subcommittee as well. 646 647 Abigaile Pittman answered that for that to be considered, Staff would have to take the request back through the 648 process to the BOCC, which would take several months. 649 650 Heidi Perry said that the members have not officially been dismissed yet. 651 652 Abigaile Pittman responded that the group had been dismissed; it was disbanded once the BOCC accepted the 653 report. Subject to the OUTBoard's recommendation, the Staff would have to go back to BOCC, get on the agenda, 654 confirm who is willing to serve, and go back through the whole application and appointment process. 655 656 Alex Castro commented that they could tell the BOCC that this is an unworkable arrangement and ask relief from it. 657 He is concerned that a very limited number of people are now going to be tasked with implementing all the work, and 658 people cannot be added as subcommittee members. It seems like an impossible situation. 659 660 Abigaile Pittman said that the subcommittee will still present their work to the OUTBoard monthly, and the OUTBoard 661 will comment and provide direction; there would be that larger involvement from the Board. 662 663 Alex Castro said that he would defer to Heidi Perry. 664 665 Heidi Perry spoke about how she wishes that they could work out a way that everyone who comes to the meeting 666 could participate and that it is hard that the OUTBoard members' votes to represent others votes, even though they 667 cannot vote directly. 668 669 Art Menius said that other's participation in the committee is more important than the voting. He would not see non - 670 OUTBoard members as being second class because they cannot vote. The voices are more important. 671 672 Jenn Sykes noted that if the subcommittee members have worked on this in the past and understand processes such 673 as these, they will most likely not be offended by the structure. They will understand it as a structure of the bylaws in 674 the County and they are going to want to make sure that the subcommittee follows -up on their work as a Taskforce. 675 676 Heidi Perry said that there were at least 3 or 4 from the original Taskforce that said they would be interested in 677 attending the subcommittee. 678 679 Art Menius spoke about running the subcommittee on a consensus basis and then have the official subcommittee 680 members' vote ratify the consensus. 681 682 Jenn Sykes noted that the way the structure is worded does not seem to prohibit the subcommittee from functioning 683 in this suggested way. Abigaile Pittman agreed. 684 13
