16 Planning staff has purchased Bike Rodeo buttons (2.75" x 1 .75", Attachment 2), and two types of stickers to go on bikes and helmets (Attachment 3). Immediate Next Steps - In the short term, bicycle safety implementation will focus on: • Facebook social media ads and posts, and radio PSAs for this spring through the end of June. • The scheduling and planning of the Bike Rodeo where bicycle safety instruction, brochures and marketing material can be shared. • Continue the distribution of printed posters and brochures. There are sufficient posters, brochures, bike rodeo pins and stickers, as well as other marketing material for future outreach and tabling at events Administration of Bicycle Safety Implementation Moving Forward - The BSIS has done an excellent job in accomplishing several of the activities identified by the Bicycle Safety Task Force (BSTF). The staff, BSIS and entire OUTBoard has been very appreciative of the support and funding received from the BOCC and it shares an appreciation for the work. As a reminder, BSIS was formed by the OUTBoard on August 16, 2017, for the purpose of implementing identified initial activities of the BSTF Report with a budget of $15,000 for FY 2017-18 ($10,000 from the Non-Departmental General Fund, and $5,000 from the Visitors Bureau). Some additional funding was provided in FY 2018-19 which will be expended at the end of FY 2018- 2019. Between now and the end of FY 2018-19 (June 30, 2019), staff is requesting that the BSIS evaluate its work and determine if there is immediate need to continue meeting separate from the OUTBoard as a sub-committee or continue its work as part of regular OUTBoard meetings. Currently, the BSIS has been meeting about once per month, while at times, there has been a shortage of OUTBoard items, which has led to the cancellation of a few of its meetings. Although, staff will support bicycle safety implementation either way, it is obligated to bring these matters of efficiency and policy to the Board's attention. For example, subcommittees as a matter of Orange County Advisory Board Policy are to have documented goals, deliverables, and a timeline and cease to meet when these are satisfied. Also consistent with Policy, the need to reinstate a sub-committee or create others can be considered by the OUTBoard at any time. Although minor, staff administration and BSIS travel to and from additional meetings are additional items of consideration. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact associated with this item. Budgeted funds from are still being utilized through the end of FY 2018-19. RECOMMENDATION(S): Staff recommends that the OUTBoard: 1. Receive information; 2. Provide any comments or direction that the Board might have for ongoing FY 2018-2019 activities; 3. Request the BSIS evaluate its anticipated future work and determine if there is immediate need to continue meeting separate from the OUTBoard as a sub-committee, or continue as part of regular OUTBoard meetings; and 4. Request that staff place Bicycle Safety Implementation on the OUTBoard agenda this June or July to receive and consider a recommendation from the BSIS and if applicable, discuss the documentation of goals, deliverables, and associated timeline.
