Approved 9/20/2017 <br />685 Alex Castro asked if there would be any impediments to non- OUTBoard members being asked to be members of this <br />686 group. Is there a formal vetting process? <br />687 <br />688 Abigaile Pittman answered that the process would be per the County Advisory Board Policies. <br />689 <br />690 Heidi Perry said that if people become members of the OUTBoard, they would not have to go through the process. <br />691 <br />692 Abigaile Pittman pointed out that the Board and Taskforce has many years ahead of it in implementing the Bicycle <br />693 Safety Report, and it could be that there is a good first year start that rolls into something bigger with a <br />694 recommendation for a BOCC appointed implementation task force (again). She asked if the subcommittee members <br />695 present had reviewed Attachment 2. If so, she needs an endorsement or approval of the attachment and for there to <br />696 be a vote on appointing the subcommittee. <br />697 <br />698 Heidi Perry asked for clarification on the first vote. <br />699 <br />700 Abigaile Pittman answered that the first vote could be on whether or not to approve Attachment 2. <br />701 <br />702 Art Menius suggested that they roll the approvals all into one vote. <br />703 <br />704 Motion by Art Menius to approve Attachment 2, Bicycle Safety Taskforce Report Implementation Subcommittee, <br />705 Fiscal Year 2017 -2018, and to appoint Heidi Perry, Alyson West, and Art Menius to the subcommittee. Seconded <br />706 by Alex Castro <br />707 <br />708 Heidi Perry asked if there needed to be something said about the additional non- OUTBoard members in the motion. <br />709 <br />710 Abigaile Pittman replied that this consideration is already in Attachment 2. <br />711 <br />712 Heidi Perry called for the vote. <br />713 Vote: Unanimous <br />714 <br />715 Abigaile Pittman said that she would send out an online poll to members to schedule the subcommittee's first <br />716 meeting to be held before the end of the month.. <br />717 <br />718 7. STAFF UPDATES (ABIGAILE PITTMAN) <br />719 <br />720 Abigaile Pittman reported that she had a productive meeting with Todd McGee, Melissa Blackburn, and Laurie <br />721 Paolicelli from the Visitor's Bureau in Chapel Hill. Since much of the conversation circled back to the topic of a logo <br />722 for the subcommittee, Ms. Pittman put in a request with Melissa Blackburn for assistance with the logo, and she will <br />723 attend the upcoming subcommittee meeting to present some initial logo concepts. She learned that the bicycle safety <br />724 website no longer has to be part of Orange County Planning Department's webpage. There is a new contract to <br />725 revise the website, and a freestanding fixed website is now feasible, which the subcommittee can update as <br />726 necessary, inclusive of direct links to other websites, laws and policies, etc. <br />727 <br />728 Art Menius said that the a site like Wordpress has a cascade system set -up so that the subcommittee's website <br />729 would still be part of the Orange County website but it would have its own web address. <br />730 <br />731 Abigaile Pittman noted that Mr. McGee and Ms. Paolicelli will help launch a media campaign inclusive of radio, public <br />732 access television, website banners, newsprint and more (e.g. WCHL radio and Chapelboro.com, WUNC, WHOP, <br />733 Chapel Hill Public Access TV, Visitor's Bureau, neighboring towns and Chambers of Commerce, local newspapers, <br />734 etc.). Once the subcommittee has a concept of who they want to reach and how, they can negotiate for media slots. <br />735 <br />736 Heidi Perry asked if the subcommittee is keeping the bike safety slogan in the report. <br />737 <br />14 <br />
