D R A F T 160 Peter Murphy replied that this meeting venue is perfect for that. He noted that departments meet and discuss 161 transportation but OPT is not present at those meetings and often does not get the feedback they need. 162 163 Meredith McMonigle noted that they are working with those that use and need the services, and working 164 together to address some of these needs and barriers is important. 165 166 Peter Murphy agreed. 167 168 Abigaile Pittman suggested it would be a good subject for a follow-up special meeting. 169 170 REGULAR AGENDA171 172 AGENDA ITEM 6: STAFF UPDATES173 174 OUTBOARD INPUT FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS’ANNUAL PLANNING RETREAT175 Discussion and completion of the activities and emerging issues lists for 2016, to be 176 included in the BOCC Annual Planning Retreat Input Form. 177 OUTBoard Action: Review, comment and recommend the activities and emerging 178 issues lists for 2106, to be included in the BOCC Annual Planning Retreat Input 179 Form.180 181 Abigaile Pittman reviewed the annual work plan and focus for next year. 182 183 Heidi Perry related that she was under the impression from the Commissioners that the Board could add things 184 to the agenda that they want to study for the year and that it didn’t have to come from the BOCC. 185 186 Abigaile Pittman asked if she was talking about bicycle safety. 187 188 Heidi Perry referred to the language that says if directed by the BOCC and elaborated that her understanding 189 from them was that they can actually add topics the Board wants to address or study. 190 191 Abigaile Pittman responded that bicycle safety is addressed under the emerging issues section of the input 192 report because staff has not yet received specific direction from the BOCC, but expects that will happen in 2016. 193 194 Heidi Perry asked about the BOCC’s request for additional work on bicycle safety. 195 196 Abigaile Pittman continued, stating that the BOCC asked staff to return to them with a recommendation about 197 creating a task force versus subcommittee, and what staff recommends the charge would be and how to 198 proceed in operating, and what level of staff involvement is needed. This will be happening early next year, after 199 the holiday break. 200 201 Alex Castro asked if that is not part of the last page that asks what are the concerns. 202 203 Abigaile Pittman responded that it is an item that hasn’t become a fully developed staff project yet but they think 204 it is moving in that direction. 205 206 Alex Castro asked about signage for bus stops. 207 208 Peter Murphy replied that they have been adding stops and on the signs they have added it includes the bus 209 schedules, what routes it serves and if it is served by multiple routes. At present for the circulator routes they 210 have signs up at 16 of the 23 stops. Some are missing poles and they have been ordered. He thinks they will 211 all be up within a couple of weeks and then they will work on the new routes. 212 6
