7 <br /> 217 assumed. <br /> 218 <br /> 219 Nish Trivedi: That would be a discussion for future meetings regarding the process, not necessarily a subcommittee thing <br /> 220 within the OUTBoard but a procedural administration of the OUTBoard itself. <br /> 221 <br /> 222 Todd Jones: There is some mechanism for preserving that interest among the members. <br /> 223 <br /> 224 Heidi Perry: Can we find out what is happening with the radio ads? <br /> 225 <br /> 226 Nish Trivedi: We will try to get an update on that. <br /> 227 <br /> 228 Alyson West: Are all the signs up? <br /> 229 <br /> 230 Jenn Sykes: The signs are up. <br /> 231 <br /> 232 Erik Broo: Do schools have ride your bike to school with your parent's day? Is this something we could co-op to get rid of <br /> 233 the swag? <br /> 234 <br /> 235 Alyson West: Bike to School Day is in May. <br /> 236 <br /> 237 Heidi Perry: There's one in October and there's one in May. We would have to get the schools on board with that and it <br /> 238 would take manpower. A lot of stuff was geared towards adults and should be shared with the public. <br /> 239 <br /> 240 Nish Trivedi: As I mentioned the work will be continued through the OUTBoard, and you can continue discussing how you <br /> 241 want to move forward without a subcommittee. <br /> 242 <br /> 243 Heidi Perry: Can we find out about the upcoming events in and around Hillsborough like a transportation fair? <br /> 244 <br /> 245 Nish Trivedi: There are local events that occur in Hillsborough like Last Fridays and the Farmer's Market that allows <br /> 246 nonprofit organizations to put tables. There are similar things happen in Carrboro and Chapel Hill, and I can find out <br /> 247 information as an OUTBoard update. <br /> 248 <br /> 249 Alyson West: The idea is to get the message out to people that are not necessarily cyclists. Is there staff time to do tabling <br /> 250 like other community outreach? <br /> 251 <br /> 252 Tom Altieri: I don't see this as an end to the bicycle safety efforts and the work that the subcommittee was doing. If we <br /> 253 have assistance from volunteers and the ability to set up tables and give out the swag and material that would be fine. My <br /> 254 understanding is that the subcommittee's work was winding down and it seemed to make sense that it was time to dovetail <br /> 255 into the OUTBoard's work. <br /> 256 <br /> 257 Art Menius: Since you are the microphone, and it is relevant to the discussion. <br /> 258 <br /> 259 Tom Altieri: I would say that we continue with the new planner when they are hired. We have initiated the recruitment <br /> 260 process and have posted the position as a planner with a focus on transportation and land use. <br /> 261 <br /> 262 Alyson West: I don't have a problem with dissolving the subcommittee, but I think that getting the message out still needs <br /> 263 to get done. At this point, if there is not going to be a subcommittee and specific people involved, it would benefit the county <br /> 264 to invest some staff time in getting the message out because the commissioners did support it and the money is there. The <br /> 265 materials are there, marketing is there, it's ready and there is momentum. You don't want to lose that. <br /> 266 <br /> 267 Tom Altieri: That is understood. <br /> 268 <br /> 269 Heidi Perry: I'd be happy to volunteer, but I do not want to be"the person". I would like for there to be a staff person, and 1 <br /> 270 would help. <br />
