Abigaile Pittman answered that for that to be considered, Staff would have to take the request back through the 647 process to the BOCC, which would take several months. 648 649 Heidi Perry said that the members have not officially been dismissed yet. 650 651 Abigaile Pittman responded that the group had been dismissed; it was disbanded once the BOCC accepted the 652 report. Subject to the OUTBoard’s recommendation, the Staff would have to go back to BOCC, get on the agenda, 653 confirm who is willing to serve, and go back through the whole application and appointment process. 654 655 Alex Castro commented that they could tell the BOCC that this is an unworkable arrangement and ask relief from it. 656 He is concerned that a very limited number of people are now going to be tasked with implementing all the work, and 657 people cannot be added as subcommittee members. It seems like an impossible situation. 658 659 Abigaile Pittman said that the subcommittee will still present their work to the OUTBoard monthly, and the OUTBoard 660 will comment and provide direction; there would be that larger involvement from the Board. 661 662 Alex Castro said that he would defer to Heidi Perry. 663 664 Heidi Perry spoke about how she wishes that they could work out a way that everyone who comes to the meeting 665 could participate and that it is hard that the OUTBoard members’ votes to represent others votes, even though they 666 cannot vote directly. 667 668 Art Menius said that other’s participation in the committee is more important than the voting. He would not see non-669 OUTBoard members as being second class because they cannot vote. The voices are more important. 670 671 Jenn Sykes noted that if the subcommittee members have worked on this in the past and understand processes such 672 as these, they will most likely not be offended by the structure. They will understand it as a structure of the bylaws in 673 the County and they are going to want to make sure that the subcommittee follows-up on their work as a Taskforce. 674 675 Heidi Perry said that there were at least 3 or 4 from the original Taskforce that said they would be interested in 676 attending the subcommittee. 677 678 Art Menius spoke about running the subcommittee on a consensus basis and then have the official subcommittee 679 members’ vote ratify the consensus. 680 681 Jenn Sykes noted that the way the structure is worded does not seem to prohibit the subcommittee from functioning 682 in this suggested way. Abigaile Pittman agreed. 683 684 Alex Castro asked if there would be any impediments to non-OUTBoard members being asked to be members of this 685 group. Is there a formal vetting process? 686 687 Abigaile Pittman answered that the process would be per the County Advisory Board Policies. 688 689 Heidi Perry said that if people become members of the OUTBoard, they would not have to go through the process. 690 691 Abigaile Pittman pointed out that the Board and Taskforce has many years ahead of it in implementing the Bicycle 692 Safety Report, and it could be that there is a good first year start that rolls into something bigger with a 693 recommendation for a BOCC appointed implementation task force (again). She asked if the subcommittee members 694 present had reviewed Attachment 2. If so, she needs an endorsement or approval of the attachment and for there to 695 be a vote on appointing the subcommittee. 696 697 Heidi Perry asked for clarification on the first vote. 698 699 Abigaile Pittman answered that the first vote could be on whether or not to approve Attachment 2. 700 15
