Additions or Changes to the Agenda <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to pull <br /> item 7-a, Bicycle Safety Task Force Appointment, since there had been some confusion about <br /> the application process, and she would like to send it back to the OUTBoard for more <br /> discussion.

She said the item went through agenda review, and during Chair- <br /> Vice Chair agenda review concern was raised that all the slots were not filled. She said the <br /> OUTBoard recommended that the BOCC or the Manager ask the Sheriff to make an <br /> appointment from his department. She said the OUTBoard also originally requested that <br /> Bonnie Hauser be notified, as she was involved with the issue from the vehicular side. She <br /> said she did notify Bonnie Hauser by sending her the PSA, but received no application from <br /> her. <br /> Abigaile Pittman said Laurie Paolicelli, Orange County Community Relations Director, <br /> was removed from the roster when the Manager correctly noted that the membership category <br /> that Laurie Paolicelli was filling was supposed to be from the Visitors Bureau (VB), not an <br />
