REPORT TO BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE

SUBJECT

Title

Ad-hoc Subcommittee Reports (Megas)

 

Report

BACKGROUND

This agenda item provides an opportunity for current BPAC subcommittees to provide an update on the progress and findings of the subcommittee.

 

BPAC subcommittees shall be considered ad-hoc committees. 

 

An ad-hoc committee is a committee that is (1) advisory; and (2) composed solely of members of the legislative body and are less than a quorum. To ensure that the subcommittees supporting BPAC’s work qualify as ad-hoc committees, the subcommittees should:

 

1.                     Be comprised solely of BPAC members;

2.                     Consist of less than a quorum;

3.                     Have a defined purpose and timeframe (between 6 to 12 months per RTC 25-1518, attached) to accomplish that purpose; and

4.                     Be advisory.

 

At the October 27, 2025 meeting, BPAC dissolved the previous subcommittees and created the ad-hoc Wayfinding Subcommittee.

 

DISCUSSION

The current BPAC ad-hoc subcommittees may provide an update to the BPAC:

 

                     Wayfinding Subcommittee - Members Haro, Kratz, and Marinaro

 

The City Attorney’s Office advised that all ad-hoc subcommittee progress reports should be consolidated into a single staff report rather than separate individual reports. This is noted for BPAC as it represents a change from the previous agenda format. This format change shortens BPAC agendas, reduces staff workload, and still allows all subcommittees to report on their progress.
