Approved 2/19/20 <br /> 106 Tom Ten Eyck: We've got videos and the website but I don't know that there is any other content that is happening <br /> 107 all the time and if it's not happening routinely, my worry is this is just another thing that will go by the wayside, <br /> 108 stagnant. I cannot make this my fulltime thing. <br /> 109 <br /> 110 Erik Broo: What would be something that we could or should? <br /> 111 <br /> 112 Jenn Sykes: Is the goal to have the bicycle safety task force get the credit for it or is the goal to get the message out <br /> 113 here? In that case this is moot, the TarWheels is who you need to work with to solve that problem and occasionally <br /> 114 send things to Todd McGee to put out there. That way if you do have an important message to get out the County <br /> 115 can get behind it. <br /> 116 <br /> 117 Todd Jones: Look at the bike shops and see if they could have a thumbnail of the video somewhere on their website, <br /> 118 that is free content for them and it livens things up. <br /> 119 <br /> 120 Tom Ten Eyck: It exists on the website so anyone can link it. <br /> 121 <br /> 122 Todd Jones: Maybe we just keep these nuggets and get it included on other sites, I was searching for it and it didn't <br /> 123 come up in any google search. <br /> 124 <br /> 125 Jo Birckmayer: It could simply be a resource—it is the rules. <br /> 126 <br /> 127 Erik Broo: Provide to be tweeted to educate the motorist. <br /> 128 <br /> 129 Jo Birckmayer: What if the TarWheels were asked to take it over, I can't imagine you could keep this up. <br /> 130 <br /> 131 Tom Ten Eyck: So really we just want the information regarding the law to be pushed out to groups that wouldn't <br /> 132 otherwise get it. I think at the end of the day it's the brochures and engage with whatever social networks you have <br /> 133 within the community to say here's some messaging we got, it's already done-produced but it needs to be pushed <br /> 134 out. The message is not ever evolving it's the existing law. <br /> 135 <br /> 136 Erik Broo: Can we get a survey together that can be email out to the constituents through some database of <br /> 137 everyone in the county and ask them what is their interpretation of the current law. <br /> 138 <br /> 139 Todd Jones: There is a lot of aversion to doing blast surveys and there. Have to be very careful. <br /> 140 <br /> 141 Tina Love: How would you get the emails? Mail would be at a cost and the County doesn't have the emails available <br /> 142 —there are sunshine groups but those people have signed up for specific information. You can't just take the list and <br /> 143 share it with another group. <br /> 144 <br /> 145 Jenn Sykes: Let's finish out the pilot out and come back and reevaluate in 9 months. <br /> 146 <br /> 147 Erik Broo: What about Driver's Education, do they still have that in the schools. <br /> 148 <br /> 149 Todd Jones: Buddy Hartley is the best contact and he was on the bicycle task force. Need to get the information to <br /> 150 motorist that don't know the law. <br /> 151 <br /> 152 Jo Birckmayer: So short term it's getting the information out there to high volume places and use the website as a <br /> 153 resource that just sits there and the next step is to see if there is some group that wants to take it on. <br /> 154 <br /> 155 Tom Ten Eyck: We can bring back the amassed document and bring forward and I think doing what we can with the <br /> 156 concrete pieces now and then seeing how it evolves in the next couple of months is good. <br /> 157 <br /> 158 <br /> 3 <br />
