All right, welcome to the active Transportation Commission meeting. 00:00:00
January 22nd, 2020. 00:00:04
6. 00:00:06
I call this meeting to order at 5:37. 00:00:08
PM. 00:00:13
I'm so first we'll go through. 00:00:15
I don't think we don't have any public comments. 00:00:21
We'll go to business item. 00:00:25
4.1. 00:00:27
2026 meeting scheduled discussion and voting. 00:00:30
So. 00:00:35
Attached to our agenda is the calendar for the year. 00:00:37
And it looks like. 00:00:42
Anthony, are we planning on the? 00:00:49
2nd. 00:00:52
Or the first. 00:00:54
So there's a little back story to this before you get into discussions, I'd like to. 00:00:55
Update all of us that. 00:01:04
City Council. 00:01:07
Change their time from first and. 00:01:09
2nd and 4th Wednesdays. 00:01:13
To Tuesday 2nd and. 00:01:15
You know for Tuesdays, OK. And that affected our. 00:01:18
You know, original schedule. So given that and many other meetings that. 00:01:21
We have in the city. 00:01:27
One that was available for us to vote on. 00:01:30
Would be the first Tuesday of every month. 00:01:33
And. 00:01:37
The third. 00:01:39
Thursday, like today. 00:01:40
Of every month. 00:01:43
And of course on months that we don't have. 00:01:46
A lot on our agenda. 00:01:49
I will. 00:01:51
Proceed to cancel the meeting so we don't just waste our time. That was perfect. Yeah, the way that you did it last time. 00:01:51
So we have. 00:01:58
Like you said, the first Tuesday, the 1st Tuesday or the third Thursday? Yes, and I have both on the. 00:02:00
On the packet you know the Tuesday 1st and behind it is the. 00:02:07
Thursday option. 00:02:12
OK. 00:02:13
So do we have a preference, you guys? 00:02:16
Between those. 00:02:19
Preferred Thursday. Same. How about you, Neil? 00:02:22
Thursday. Thursday. 00:02:26
Doug. 00:02:28
It's also OK if you prefer Tuesday. 00:02:30
OK. 00:02:34
3rd Thursday. 00:02:36
Let's go with Third Thursday, then. 00:02:38
You'd have to. 00:02:41
Make a motion and then have a roll call. 00:02:42
OK, we move to move our active transportation meetings through the 3rd Thursday of each month. Can I get a second? 00:02:44
I'll second that. 00:02:52
OK, perfect. 00:02:54
All right, then you need to do a roll call. 00:02:58
Roll call. 00:03:00
Oh, we just go down the line. 00:03:02
Hi, ay. 00:03:05
Aye. 00:03:07
Perfect. 00:03:09
OK. Thanks you guys for being accommodating. 00:03:11
Our third Thursday. 00:03:15
So item 4.2 voting on the Chair and Vice Chair positions for 2026. 00:03:19
Do you want to introduce that, Anthony? Yeah, I can talk a little bit about it. So we have bylaws. 00:03:27
You need to be given access to. I'm not sure I've shared it with you, but essentially every year we vote for. 00:03:33
Someone on the Commission to be the chair and also do vote for a vice chair as well, so. 00:03:41
Having said that. 00:03:48
We usually try to do this. 00:03:49
Voting. 00:03:53
In the last meeting of. 00:03:54
The previous year. 00:03:55
Just so, we start the meeting. 00:03:57
I mean, we start a new year not having to go through all this admin style. 00:03:59
Meeting. 00:04:04
And, but unfortunately last year we didn't have. 00:04:05
A number of us here, I think we had just. 00:04:09
Under a horror mode, just yeah. 00:04:12
So. 00:04:15
Yeah, it's up to you. You know, usually what we. 00:04:16
Doing this situation is one of you would recommend. 00:04:20
Someone being the chair. 00:04:24
Or you can recommend yourself, it's allowed. 00:04:26
Last year. 00:04:28
We had. 00:04:29
You know Martina highly recommended and she did a great job. 00:04:30
And you know, we had. 00:04:34
Our Vice chair being Jordan. 00:04:37
He also did a great job. 00:04:39
And. 00:04:41
We're here in 2026. We all made it. 00:04:42
And we need to make that decision yet again. So it's up to you. 00:04:46
If you want to keep it as it is right now, you're welcome to do that if you want to recommend any changes. 00:04:51
It's all allowed in this first meeting. 00:04:58
To have this outlined and there's not a lot. 00:05:01
More than the. 00:05:03
That the chair would do. 00:05:05
Then you know the other members. 00:05:08
I would definitely get in. 00:05:11
Touch with the chair more when it comes to decisions like OK, we don't have. 00:05:12
Enough agenda items do we need to cancel? 00:05:17
And if she says or he says yes, then we do it, you know? 00:05:20
Just some. 00:05:26
A lot of administration, yeah, very administrative. 00:05:28
Type things and it's not an everyday. 00:05:31
You know I'm not calling you 5 * a week. 00:05:33
Just once a month. 00:05:36
So it's something that anyone can take on. 00:05:41
And do very well. 00:05:45
So. 00:05:47
She's really done a great job. 00:05:51
So nice, OK. 00:05:54
So we need a recommendation. 00:05:57
I would recommend Martina for chair. 00:06:02
And then if you're interested in doing it again, I thought you did great. Second that for sure. 00:06:06
You guys are so nice, then I'll accept. 00:06:12
Is there something I need to do? 00:06:17
We need to do. 00:06:19
Someone needs to make a motion and then a roll call. 00:06:22
Based on what has been discussed. 00:06:24
I would move. 00:06:28
To have Martina be the chair. 00:06:29
Of the ATC. 00:06:32
And I would second that. 00:06:35
Awesome. Thank you. 00:06:37
And then I move. 00:06:39
For Jordan to be our Vice Chair for 2026. 00:06:41
Do we need a vote on? 00:06:45
Martina. 00:06:46
First, then yes, you need to vote. I'll vote. OK. 00:06:47
Aye. 00:06:53
You can vote for yourself, aye? 00:06:56
Aye as well. Thank you. 00:07:00
If some of our new faces on. 00:07:03
Our group here wanted to be the vice chair. I would very much support that also. 00:07:05
I nominate. 00:07:11
Doctor Neil. 00:07:14
I but. 00:07:15
Yeah. 00:07:18
If you're interested, I'd either also support that Disinterested or interested. 00:07:19
Neutral. 00:07:25
In the middle. 00:07:27
Or you just see each other sounding board. 00:07:28
Worked really well. 00:07:31
Yep, great. 00:07:35
Should we? Is that OK? We need to make a motion? 00:07:37
You want to make the motion OK. 00:07:42
I would move to. 00:07:44
Make a motion that. 00:07:46
Neil, sorry, what was your last name? 00:07:48
Yeah, OK. I would make a motion to. 00:07:51
Approve Neil Peterson. 00:07:53
As the. 00:07:56
Vice Chair. 00:07:57
Of the active transportation. 00:07:58
Commission. 00:08:00
I second that motion. 00:08:01
Aye, aye. 00:08:06
Aye, aye. 00:08:09
OK, so before the chair. 00:08:12
Moves on with the rest of the items. 00:08:14
I would like to. 00:08:17
Just also highlight that. 00:08:18
Most of the things we do. 00:08:21
Seemed to be very relaxed. 00:08:23
OR has been very relaxed. We're gradually ramping up. 00:08:25
The ATC has. 00:08:29
Come a long way. 00:08:32
And. 00:08:34
As we continue to grow as a city. 00:08:36
There's going to be a lot of changes. 00:08:38
In direction, but your role is to. 00:08:41
Advice and provide counsel to the City Council. 00:08:44
In matters that. 00:08:49
Relate to active transportation. 00:08:51
On all levels. 00:08:54
So. 00:08:55
We've moved to this monthly meeting scheduled. 00:08:58
Because we want to be able to. 00:09:02
Affect. 00:09:05
More and more frequently. 00:09:06
Through the things that we do. 00:09:09
However, on Bike month, which is in May. 00:09:11
There's going to be a lot more engagement. 00:09:15
So April and May, there's going to be a lot more. 00:09:17
What required from you? 00:09:20
But it's not something you can't handle. 00:09:22
It's just. 00:09:24
The usual. 00:09:26
Making sure activities are. 00:09:27
Lined up well. 00:09:29
So that people enjoy. 00:09:31
Things that we put out there. 00:09:32
And, umm. 00:09:34
Pretty much your expertise and. 00:09:35
You know. 00:09:38
Ideas on making? 00:09:39
Show that anything that we have. 00:09:40
Planned is executed successfully. 00:09:42
So that's just. 00:09:45
All that I wanted to remind you. 00:09:48
Chair, you already know it. And the new vice chair. 00:09:51
Congratulations all of you. 00:09:54
But we all work. 00:09:56
Collaboratively. 00:09:57
To make things happen. 00:09:59
So, umm. 00:10:00
Nothing's going to change, I believe. 00:10:02
Well, thank you. 00:10:06
Sorry, just going back to the meeting schedule, so we have. 00:10:08
The third Thursdays are. Is there possibility for like second or fourth Thursdays? 00:10:13
Or first, I don't know. 00:10:19
On the Thursday, it was. 00:10:21
It was just the third available. 00:10:23
I'm sorry. 00:10:26
Just this third Thursday. 00:10:27
A schedule was the only one really available. 00:10:30
OK, Yeah. 00:10:32
It was really tight. 00:10:34
The most convenient for. 00:10:35
All meetings. 00:10:37
Wasn't Tuesday. 00:10:39
The first Tuesday. 00:10:40
So the third Thursday was something that I had to work through. 00:10:41
With the Recorders office a little longer. That's why the agenda came in much later. 00:10:45
OK, got you. We had confirmation later last. 00:10:51
Last night that. 00:10:54
It would work. 00:10:56
Just before the. 00:10:57
You know, umm. 00:10:58
Agenda was posted. 00:10:59
OK. 00:11:01
Is there a preference that I could potentially push? 00:11:03
For in seven days. 00:11:06
Or months. 00:11:08
Which is the third. 00:11:10
Thursday seems to be like a preference for everything else. 00:11:12
Let me get back to you on that. I'll I'll message you back. 00:11:25
But for now, we have voted for the third Thursday. 00:11:29
Right, OK. 00:11:32
We can revise that later. 00:11:33
So we have up until the end of. 00:11:38
Maybe this month. 00:11:42
OK, so because. 00:11:44
Yes. 00:11:45
Because. 00:11:46
As you're all aware, we have new administration. 00:11:48
And there's a lot of changes happening. 00:11:51
Within the city. 00:11:53
So. 00:11:54
When we. 00:11:55
We're able to make. 00:11:57
You know, decisions that just lock in things. 00:11:59
We will be in a better place. 00:12:01
OK. 00:12:03
If we needed to periodically do like a special session, that would work as well, yeah. 00:12:05
Schedule, yeah, obviously we don't want to do. 00:12:10
12 months of special sessions. I do, yeah. 00:12:13
Yeah, I mean today was. 00:12:19
Essentially the only time available in. 00:12:22
In the schedule for meetings in Vineyard. 00:12:25
To have a special session in January. 00:12:28
So it was hard. 00:12:31
Coming by this day. 00:12:32
In the first place. 00:12:33
So. 00:12:35
They had to cancel. They had a. 00:12:36
Library program. 00:12:39
That they do up to 530. 00:12:41
But sometimes you need to set up the room, so I usually recommend. 00:12:45
Get in the room from 5:00, so they have to cancel that to allow us to do the special session. 00:12:49
Yeah, yeah, this is just a long explanation to say whatever we decide. 00:12:55
We got to decide fast, right? 00:13:03
Right, that makes sense. 00:13:05
Never. 00:13:09
I can make it work if it if Thursdays is better for. 00:13:14
People. 00:13:17
Is there is there any risk of Planning Commission moving to Tuesdays now that City Council is on Tuesday? 00:13:23
It hasn't been. 00:13:29
Officially discussed yet? 00:13:31
We have talked about. 00:13:34
Various ways to make it. 00:13:36
Work for anyone that we have on our Commission. 00:13:37
And. 00:13:40
Discussions I've had so far has been. 00:13:42
Moving it to 7:00 PM. 00:13:44
Because people. 00:13:46
Typically work and would want to. 00:13:48
Have. 00:13:52
Enough time for driving and probably have dinner before. 00:13:53
OK, so even if. 00:13:57
Even if they did move to Tuesdays and we also moved to Tuesdays, ours being at 5:30 and there's being at 7:00. 00:13:58
Might be OK. 00:14:04
That could work. 00:14:05
I haven't heard anything about. 00:14:07
Day change. 00:14:09
I've only heard about time change. 00:14:11
OK, Yeah. 00:14:13
But. 00:14:14
I could get back to the team. 00:14:15
Next week. 00:14:17
Because I can go and inquire more. 00:14:19
I'm not in charge of the schedule for Planning Commission. 00:14:22
Or I can go and look into it more and just let you know. 00:14:24
The potential. 00:14:28
Options that. 00:14:29
Maybe. 00:14:30
Sounds good, yeah. 00:14:32
Do we, I mean, I think do you want to keep the schedule hanging or we should just lock Thursday in? 00:14:33
We could just lock it in. 00:14:41
That sounds good. 00:14:42
Are you sure? 00:14:44
The next meeting. 00:14:46
If it were the first Tuesday option. 00:14:47
Would be. 00:14:50
February 3rd. 00:14:53
I can block that time off. 00:14:56
As a meeting time. 00:15:00
For you, oh, that is in. 00:15:02
Two weeks. 00:15:04
I can block it off as a meeting time. 00:15:06
If you'll be willing to go the Tuesday route. 00:15:09
Or explore the Tuesday route. 00:15:12
Then you make the final decision, then I'll probably talk to the. 00:15:14
Recorded just to hold on for two weeks rather than just us. Make a final decision. We'll lock in both days. 00:15:19
But. 00:15:27
Technically. 00:15:28
It's just. 00:15:29
I fell off for you guys to make a decision. 00:15:30
On February 3rd if you want that. 00:15:34
Yes. 00:15:37
I do have. 00:15:40
A fairly strong preference for Thursdays because. 00:15:41
Tuesday nights I generally have to watch the baby. 00:15:45
Gotcha. OK, that makes sense. 00:15:48
Let's do Thursday. 00:15:50
Good Thursday nights. 00:15:52
OK. So there's no need coming back to the team? 00:15:53
No locking in Thursday, Thursday and again. 00:15:56
We're a small and growing team and. 00:15:59
I believe we're all flexible. 00:16:02
To make things work for everyone. So if we need to move some Thursdays not being necessarily the third, I just need enough notice 00:16:04
so I can. 00:16:08
Let everyone know. 00:16:13
And would make it work. 00:16:14
If we say Thursdays, it. 00:16:17
It is the third Thursday, but we can make it work for all of us. 00:16:19
Sounds good. 00:16:23
We got bit nest to handle. 00:16:25
I'm happy for you. 00:16:30
We OK. 00:16:33
So looking forward. 00:16:36
To upcoming activities. 00:16:38
And projects for ATC. 00:16:41
Do you have some things in mind, Anthony? 00:16:44
I just wanted this to that's why I had it as a work session. I just wanted this to be an open forum where we just discussed 00:16:47
general ideas that we have. We have typically. 00:16:52
You know, just thrown out ideas. 00:16:56
In the past in that spreadsheet that I shared earlier. 00:16:59
With the team, I will reshare that so it comes to everyone's e-mail. 00:17:02
Just so. 00:17:07
Our new commissioners know. 00:17:08
I created this. 00:17:10
Like, you know, Google Sheets. 00:17:13
That has everyone's. 00:17:15
It has everyone's. 00:17:18
E-mail contact phone number so you guys can, you know, communicate when you want to. 00:17:20
Just don't get through of you together in your house. It's then a courtroom and you should record that. 00:17:25
And present it to us. 00:17:30
Because you will be violating the meeting. 00:17:32
Regulations that the state has put together. 00:17:36
But as long as you only have two people, and even if you all meet and you're not talking city business. 00:17:39
That's fine. 00:17:44
That spreadsheet I can. 00:17:46
Probably. 00:17:49
Open that up. 00:17:50
Has a tab that has. 00:17:51
The chance for you to put in ideas and things that you'd like the Commission. 00:17:54
To consider discussing or working on. 00:17:58
It also gives the chance for. 00:18:08
You to make more input on what we need to have. 00:18:12
As a discussion. 00:18:18
Item for coming meetings. 00:18:20
I will share the link with everyone but this is what it looks like. It has everyone's. 00:18:23
Phone number and e-mail. 00:18:27
It also has. 00:18:30
This as you know. 00:18:33
Things that. 00:18:35
Got inputted by. 00:18:36
Commissioners. 00:18:38
You know the no names. 00:18:40
If you want to have. 00:18:43
An item really associated with your name. You can put it there so I reach out to you if I need more information. 00:18:46
But. 00:18:52
Just throw out ideas on things that. 00:18:53
Could be. 00:18:55
Discussed and worked on together these most of these have been. 00:18:56
I have been accomplished. I need to update this list. 00:19:02
To make it more current. 00:19:05
And. 00:19:07
You have the chance to do that. 00:19:09
And typically before I send a meeting agenda. 00:19:11
I sort of built the meeting here. 00:19:15
So this dashboard becomes one that you visit. 00:19:17
I don't know how often you want to, but. 00:19:20
I would be pulling things from here. 00:19:23
That. 00:19:26
Seem relevant enough? 00:19:27
For the moment. 00:19:29
Up here. 00:19:30
Depending on what needs to be done. 00:19:31
Right and. 00:19:34
Our projects and events. 00:19:36
Usually get updated here. 00:19:39
This is. 00:19:41
What we had for. 00:19:42
A Bike Month 2024. 00:19:45
Not much of it. 00:19:48
Got changed in 2025, so clearly this. 00:19:49
Needs to be updated. 00:19:53
But I will do this update and share the link again so it's up in everyone's e-mail. 00:19:54
And May is a big. 00:19:58
Month for the bike Commission. 00:20:00
Yeah. 00:20:02
Yeah, so some. 00:20:05
Some times that we think about, so there's. 00:20:07
Bike Month in May and then there's like a couple of conferences that you've been to right for. 00:20:11
Different like related. 00:20:18
Trends and stuff like that, yeah. 00:20:21
And then? 00:20:23
Booths that. 00:20:24
So yeah. 00:20:28
We just kind of spread them out. 00:20:30
So you don't have to be at everyone. 00:20:32
And then? 00:20:36
That's right. I mean, we, we can, we can all be there as long as we're not talking to city business. 00:20:38
If we start talking about something in a city, someone has to start recording. 00:20:47
Oh, and then there's a grant that we apply for. We have the chance to apply for a grant. 00:21:00
Or city related things that can. 00:21:08
Could go towards improvements. 00:21:12
Related. Yeah. 00:21:14
Oh, that's great. And we're not just restricted to that. 00:21:20
The arts grant that comes out. 00:21:23
Every year. 00:21:26
We could look out for other grants. 00:21:27
Two years ago I applied for the tag grant. 00:21:29
Which is. 00:21:33
An MPO Graham. 00:21:37
Given from uh uh. 00:21:38
Given by Mag. 00:21:39
And the tag is a technical. 00:21:41
Assistant for Government grant is the planning. 00:21:43
Grandad allows cities to plan. 00:21:47
Various parts of the city. 00:21:51
And we were awarded about 100 and. 00:21:53
$29,000. 00:21:55
And we used that. 00:21:57
To prepare. 00:21:59
A wayfinding master plan for the city. 00:22:02
And also update. 00:22:04
The transportation master plan. 00:22:06
So I have a final draft. It's ready. 00:22:09
Last year. 00:22:12
We did. We gave the public the chance to just make inputs. Every month we had a meeting. We. 00:22:14
Give updates on the project. 00:22:22
I just last week received a final. 00:22:25
Draft document that I can share with you to review. 00:22:28
The next steps for that project is for it to just go to. 00:22:32
Planning Commission. 00:22:37
Officially. 00:22:41
Presented here and discussed at ATC and then. 00:22:42
Go over to. 00:22:48
City Council for adoption. 00:22:52
Approval and adoption, that's the only thing left. Now I've put some brakes on it because you recognize we have a new council. 00:22:54
There's a lot of. 00:23:02
Administrative things that needs to be done. 00:23:04
And as they work through things, we. 00:23:07
We as staff have to be supportive and. 00:23:10
Be cognizant of the fact that. 00:23:14
We don't want to just drop a plan in front of them. 00:23:16
In the first few meetings. 00:23:19
Even though this has been ready for a while. 00:23:20
My plan is to. 00:23:23
Have them more educated on the. 00:23:25
On the plan that we have, we've worked so hard on it. You know, the consultant did a lot of outreach, came here, spoke to us a 00:23:27
couple of times. We decided on even how. 00:23:32
Signs should look on our trails. 00:23:38
All of that work. 00:23:41
Could. 00:23:42
Be put on the back bench. 00:23:44
If they don't understand. 00:23:46
So the strategy. 00:23:47
I've taken a staff or we have taken a staff is. 00:23:50
To allow them to get settled in. 00:23:54
Have a couple of meetings introduce the project to them better. 00:23:58
Where? 00:24:02
They they, they feel they have that ownership of. 00:24:02
Ownership and understanding of all the hard work that's gone into it. 00:24:07
Then when it goes to City Council, we don't have an hour discussion about why didn't we do this or when did it. 00:24:11
You know what? Did you do this? You know we don't. We want to avoid all those questions. 00:24:17
That could deter. 00:24:22
All the hard work. 00:24:24
You know, you turn them from approving all, you know, all the hard work that you guys have put in. 00:24:26
So that's the strategy. So that project is not just. 00:24:30
Laying somewhere. 00:24:34
My intention was after this meeting. 00:24:38
I will. 00:24:41
Send, you know. 00:24:42
The new final draft that we have. 00:24:44
Out. It's basically done. It has. 00:24:47
All your comments and things that needs to go in. 00:24:51
And the next thing. 00:24:55
With that same project is. 00:24:57
The Wayfinding master plan. It's within the. 00:25:01
Excuse me? 00:25:05
The wayfinding is within the. 00:25:07
Active transportation plan update. 00:25:10
However. 00:25:13
We want to create. 00:25:14
A separate document. 00:25:16
That makes it easy. 00:25:18
For someone who's just looking for the wayfinding. 00:25:21
Information. 00:25:24
To just go straight to it. 00:25:25
Rather than having to comb through the. 00:25:27
Active transportation plan to Chapter 6 or 7 to go find it. So we want to just pull that component out. 00:25:29
And add a few more specifications that would help people coming into our city. 00:25:37
That are doing business to to just grab. 00:25:41
And go like, OK, we need to put a sign on the trail that says we have hot dogs ahead. 00:25:44
And this is how it's supposed to look. 00:25:49
You know so. 00:25:51
It's just a plan that I. 00:25:52
Been thinking about that we should have in addition to the whole project which shouldn't cost us any extra. 00:25:54
Potentially. 00:26:02
So even if it does, I have to do it. 00:26:03
Internally I can do that. 00:26:06
Sure. So. 00:26:07
So that's the update on the plan. 00:26:09
Next steps for that would be me sending you the draft. 00:26:11
And I'll be updating you on. 00:26:15
How Council is receiving it so far? 00:26:19
Because my plan is to meet. 00:26:21
With each council member. 00:26:23
So they know. 00:26:26
This is how far we've come and this is what we've produced. 00:26:28
And you know. 00:26:32
Share that, you know, hear their concerns. 00:26:33
Try to answer their questions even before the day it's presented to them for adoption. 00:26:36
Then once I've been able to go through that process, I will just kick it into Planning Commission. 00:26:41
And ATC. 00:26:48
And then? 00:26:49
You know. 00:26:50
City Council. 00:26:51
So I know it's a long explanation for next steps for one project, but. 00:26:52
It's worth understanding the logic behind it. 00:26:57
So that's all I have. 00:27:00
That's great. Thanks, Anthony. 00:27:04
So we'll look forward to that, see this project all the way through. 00:27:06
And when on the day that it goes to City Council? 00:27:11
Would need to have at least one or two of you. 00:27:15
Available to like. You don't have to make a presentation, but you have to put in a word. 00:27:18
To just. 00:27:23
Affirm all the good work and you know. 00:27:24
How you're excited to use this to make the city better? 00:27:27
There are other things that. 00:27:30
Could be included. 00:27:33
That we could consider as you review that, but I'm not going to bring those up until you've gone through it and. 00:27:35
We all brainstorm on next steps for that. And it could. 00:27:42
Potentially be beneficial to. 00:27:46
Guiding the discussions with the new council because they're excited to make the city good. 00:27:49
But they need to understand. 00:27:55
And that's. 00:27:57
You know, taking up any new role. 00:27:59
That's what happens, right? It's a lot of information thrown at you. 00:28:01
I don't want all our hardware to be thrown. 00:28:05
At them. 00:28:07
I want them to feel part of it. 00:28:08
Gradually, so we might not be. 00:28:11
Having this adopted. 00:28:13
In the next month. 00:28:16
Or two, it's on purpose, even though it's ready to go. 00:28:17
I just wanted to be received on a different level. 00:28:22
It would be nice. 00:28:24
To have it for bike month but I don't know how. 00:28:25
Long it takes to implement but. 00:28:29
If it takes longer than maybe we roll it out. 00:28:33
Towards the end of the year. 00:28:37
Since oh, that's that's too far for finished document. 00:28:39
We can once we have, because there's still a lot of things in the air. 00:28:42
Regards to roles in the city and. 00:28:48
Basically. 00:28:52
The direction that the Council wants to go. 00:28:53
So once all those things are clear to staff. 00:28:57
We can just move forward with. 00:29:00
Getting it in, but in the meantime while the new council and administration figure out. 00:29:03
What they're doing? 00:29:08
I will be scheduling meetings. I already had one meeting with Councilmember Loray and Council member. 00:29:11
Would They both came in, we talked. 00:29:19
Extensively about the. 00:29:23
Plan and I felt like that was a win. 00:29:24
So that's great. Gradually is going to creep onto the others and. 00:29:27
Would get there. 00:29:32
So the plan is to do it before the. 00:29:34
You know, before the end of second quarter. 00:29:37
But you bring up a good point. 00:29:40
Doing it before bike month so we can call, you know we can. 00:29:42
It gives us more bragging rights, you know. 00:29:46
We usually do like a bike tour with the community. 00:29:48
And so we just like. 00:29:52
Everybody on wheels and we're just going around and it would be nice to have these wayfinders out. 00:29:54
So it's like, hey. 00:30:00
Like, yeah, this is brand new. Yeah, it's implementation though. 00:30:01
We probably need to go get some grant. 00:30:06
Or if we could sell it well. 00:30:09
Which you have the power to do that if you could sell it well to the. 00:30:12
New council, they could give the direction. 00:30:16
To have some money. 00:30:20
Allocated to make this happen. 00:30:22
But in the meantime. 00:30:24
We could be looking out for grants. I'm always looking and if anyone finds any grants out there. 00:30:26
That we can apply for. 00:30:32
If we get that, we can straight up get it installed. 00:30:34
As long as. 00:30:38
The Council agrees that they are installed. 00:30:40
So. 00:30:43
We all have some homework to do. 00:30:45
Go find the money. 00:30:48
Yeah. 00:30:52
OK, I think. 00:30:56
We've reached the end of our items. 00:30:58
Yeah. 00:31:01
So. 00:31:04
I would also send the link to. 00:31:07
This item that I have here this spreadsheet. 00:31:11
And please feel free, I'll update it before I do it, but. 00:31:14
Feel free to put in things and if you have any ideas. 00:31:18
Just e-mail me, I'll give me a call. 00:31:22
That works. 00:31:25
As well. Umm. 00:31:25
Great. All right, then I moved to. 00:31:26
Adjourn our meeting. 00:31:31
At 6:09 PM. 00:31:33
Fantastic. 00:31:35
Do I need a second? 00:31:36
You're the chair. We can close. Everybody go home. 00:31:40
Thanks. 00:31:46
Yeah. 00:31:52

Event transcript
All right, welcome to the active Transportation Commission meeting. 00:00:00
January 22nd, 2020. 00:00:04
6. 00:00:06
I call this meeting to order at 5:37. 00:00:08
PM. 00:00:13
I'm so first we'll go through. 00:00:15
I don't think we don't have any public comments. 00:00:21
We'll go to business item. 00:00:25
4.1. 00:00:27
2026 meeting scheduled discussion and voting. 00:00:30
So. 00:00:35
Attached to our agenda is the calendar for the year. 00:00:37
And it looks like. 00:00:42
Anthony, are we planning on the? 00:00:49
2nd. 00:00:52
Or the first. 00:00:54
So there's a little back story to this before you get into discussions, I'd like to. 00:00:55
Update all of us that. 00:01:04
City Council. 00:01:07
Change their time from first and. 00:01:09
2nd and 4th Wednesdays. 00:01:13
To Tuesday 2nd and. 00:01:15
You know for Tuesdays, OK. And that affected our. 00:01:18
You know, original schedule. So given that and many other meetings that. 00:01:21
We have in the city. 00:01:27
One that was available for us to vote on. 00:01:30
Would be the first Tuesday of every month. 00:01:33
And. 00:01:37
The third. 00:01:39
Thursday, like today. 00:01:40
Of every month. 00:01:43
And of course on months that we don't have. 00:01:46
A lot on our agenda. 00:01:49
I will. 00:01:51
Proceed to cancel the meeting so we don't just waste our time. That was perfect. Yeah, the way that you did it last time. 00:01:51
So we have. 00:01:58
Like you said, the first Tuesday, the 1st Tuesday or the third Thursday? Yes, and I have both on the. 00:02:00
On the packet you know the Tuesday 1st and behind it is the. 00:02:07
Thursday option. 00:02:12
OK. 00:02:13
So do we have a preference, you guys? 00:02:16
Between those. 00:02:19
Preferred Thursday. Same. How about you, Neil? 00:02:22
Thursday. Thursday. 00:02:26
Doug. 00:02:28
It's also OK if you prefer Tuesday. 00:02:30
OK. 00:02:34
3rd Thursday. 00:02:36
Let's go with Third Thursday, then. 00:02:38
You'd have to. 00:02:41
Make a motion and then have a roll call. 00:02:42
OK, we move to move our active transportation meetings through the 3rd Thursday of each month. Can I get a second? 00:02:44
I'll second that. 00:02:52
OK, perfect. 00:02:54
All right, then you need to do a roll call. 00:02:58
Roll call. 00:03:00
Oh, we just go down the line. 00:03:02
Hi, ay. 00:03:05
Aye. 00:03:07
Perfect. 00:03:09
OK. Thanks you guys for being accommodating. 00:03:11
Our third Thursday. 00:03:15
So item 4.2 voting on the Chair and Vice Chair positions for 2026. 00:03:19
Do you want to introduce that, Anthony? Yeah, I can talk a little bit about it. So we have bylaws. 00:03:27
You need to be given access to. I'm not sure I've shared it with you, but essentially every year we vote for. 00:03:33
Someone on the Commission to be the chair and also do vote for a vice chair as well, so. 00:03:41
Having said that. 00:03:48
We usually try to do this. 00:03:49
Voting. 00:03:53
In the last meeting of. 00:03:54
The previous year. 00:03:55
Just so, we start the meeting. 00:03:57
I mean, we start a new year not having to go through all this admin style. 00:03:59
Meeting. 00:04:04
And, but unfortunately last year we didn't have. 00:04:05
A number of us here, I think we had just. 00:04:09
Under a horror mode, just yeah. 00:04:12
So. 00:04:15
Yeah, it's up to you. You know, usually what we. 00:04:16
Doing this situation is one of you would recommend. 00:04:20
Someone being the chair. 00:04:24
Or you can recommend yourself, it's allowed. 00:04:26
Last year. 00:04:28
We had. 00:04:29
You know Martina highly recommended and she did a great job. 00:04:30
And you know, we had. 00:04:34
Our Vice chair being Jordan. 00:04:37
He also did a great job. 00:04:39
And. 00:04:41
We're here in 2026. We all made it. 00:04:42
And we need to make that decision yet again. So it's up to you. 00:04:46
If you want to keep it as it is right now, you're welcome to do that if you want to recommend any changes. 00:04:51
It's all allowed in this first meeting. 00:04:58
To have this outlined and there's not a lot. 00:05:01
More than the. 00:05:03
That the chair would do. 00:05:05
Then you know the other members. 00:05:08
I would definitely get in. 00:05:11
Touch with the chair more when it comes to decisions like OK, we don't have. 00:05:12
Enough agenda items do we need to cancel? 00:05:17
And if she says or he says yes, then we do it, you know? 00:05:20
Just some. 00:05:26
A lot of administration, yeah, very administrative. 00:05:28
Type things and it's not an everyday. 00:05:31
You know I'm not calling you 5 * a week. 00:05:33
Just once a month. 00:05:36
So it's something that anyone can take on. 00:05:41
And do very well. 00:05:45
So. 00:05:47
She's really done a great job. 00:05:51
So nice, OK. 00:05:54
So we need a recommendation. 00:05:57
I would recommend Martina for chair. 00:06:02
And then if you're interested in doing it again, I thought you did great. Second that for sure. 00:06:06
You guys are so nice, then I'll accept. 00:06:12
Is there something I need to do? 00:06:17
We need to do. 00:06:19
Someone needs to make a motion and then a roll call. 00:06:22
Based on what has been discussed. 00:06:24
I would move. 00:06:28
To have Martina be the chair. 00:06:29
Of the ATC. 00:06:32
And I would second that. 00:06:35
Awesome. Thank you. 00:06:37
And then I move. 00:06:39
For Jordan to be our Vice Chair for 2026. 00:06:41
Do we need a vote on? 00:06:45
Martina. 00:06:46
First, then yes, you need to vote. I'll vote. OK. 00:06:47
Aye. 00:06:53
You can vote for yourself, aye? 00:06:56
Aye as well. Thank you. 00:07:00
If some of our new faces on. 00:07:03
Our group here wanted to be the vice chair. I would very much support that also. 00:07:05
I nominate. 00:07:11
Doctor Neil. 00:07:14
I but. 00:07:15
Yeah. 00:07:18
If you're interested, I'd either also support that Disinterested or interested. 00:07:19
Neutral. 00:07:25
In the middle. 00:07:27
Or you just see each other sounding board. 00:07:28
Worked really well. 00:07:31
Yep, great. 00:07:35
Should we? Is that OK? We need to make a motion? 00:07:37
You want to make the motion OK. 00:07:42
I would move to. 00:07:44
Make a motion that. 00:07:46
Neil, sorry, what was your last name? 00:07:48
Yeah, OK. I would make a motion to. 00:07:51
Approve Neil Peterson. 00:07:53
As the. 00:07:56
Vice Chair. 00:07:57
Of the active transportation. 00:07:58
Commission. 00:08:00
I second that motion. 00:08:01
Aye, aye. 00:08:06
Aye, aye. 00:08:09
OK, so before the chair. 00:08:12
Moves on with the rest of the items. 00:08:14
I would like to. 00:08:17
Just also highlight that. 00:08:18
Most of the things we do. 00:08:21
Seemed to be very relaxed. 00:08:23
OR has been very relaxed. We're gradually ramping up. 00:08:25
The ATC has. 00:08:29
Come a long way. 00:08:32
And. 00:08:34
As we continue to grow as a city. 00:08:36
There's going to be a lot of changes. 00:08:38
In direction, but your role is to. 00:08:41
Advice and provide counsel to the City Council. 00:08:44
In matters that. 00:08:49
Relate to active transportation. 00:08:51
On all levels. 00:08:54
So. 00:08:55
We've moved to this monthly meeting scheduled. 00:08:58
Because we want to be able to. 00:09:02
Affect. 00:09:05
More and more frequently. 00:09:06
Through the things that we do. 00:09:09
However, on Bike month, which is in May. 00:09:11
There's going to be a lot more engagement. 00:09:15
So April and May, there's going to be a lot more. 00:09:17
What required from you? 00:09:20
But it's not something you can't handle. 00:09:22
It's just. 00:09:24
The usual. 00:09:26
Making sure activities are. 00:09:27
Lined up well. 00:09:29
So that people enjoy. 00:09:31
Things that we put out there. 00:09:32
And, umm. 00:09:34
Pretty much your expertise and. 00:09:35
You know. 00:09:38
Ideas on making? 00:09:39
Show that anything that we have. 00:09:40
Planned is executed successfully. 00:09:42
So that's just. 00:09:45
All that I wanted to remind you. 00:09:48
Chair, you already know it. And the new vice chair. 00:09:51
Congratulations all of you. 00:09:54
But we all work. 00:09:56
Collaboratively. 00:09:57
To make things happen. 00:09:59
So, umm. 00:10:00
Nothing's going to change, I believe. 00:10:02
Well, thank you. 00:10:06
Sorry, just going back to the meeting schedule, so we have. 00:10:08
The third Thursdays are. Is there possibility for like second or fourth Thursdays? 00:10:13
Or first, I don't know. 00:10:19
On the Thursday, it was. 00:10:21
It was just the third available. 00:10:23
I'm sorry. 00:10:26
Just this third Thursday. 00:10:27
A schedule was the only one really available. 00:10:30
OK, Yeah. 00:10:32
It was really tight. 00:10:34
The most convenient for. 00:10:35
All meetings. 00:10:37
Wasn't Tuesday. 00:10:39
The first Tuesday. 00:10:40
So the third Thursday was something that I had to work through. 00:10:41
With the Recorders office a little longer. That's why the agenda came in much later. 00:10:45
OK, got you. We had confirmation later last. 00:10:51
Last night that. 00:10:54
It would work. 00:10:56
Just before the. 00:10:57
You know, umm. 00:10:58
Agenda was posted. 00:10:59
OK. 00:11:01
Is there a preference that I could potentially push? 00:11:03
For in seven days. 00:11:06
Or months. 00:11:08
Which is the third. 00:11:10
Thursday seems to be like a preference for everything else. 00:11:12
Let me get back to you on that. I'll I'll message you back. 00:11:25
But for now, we have voted for the third Thursday. 00:11:29
Right, OK. 00:11:32
We can revise that later. 00:11:33
So we have up until the end of. 00:11:38
Maybe this month. 00:11:42
OK, so because. 00:11:44
Yes. 00:11:45
Because. 00:11:46
As you're all aware, we have new administration. 00:11:48
And there's a lot of changes happening. 00:11:51
Within the city. 00:11:53
So. 00:11:54
When we. 00:11:55
We're able to make. 00:11:57
You know, decisions that just lock in things. 00:11:59
We will be in a better place. 00:12:01
OK. 00:12:03
If we needed to periodically do like a special session, that would work as well, yeah. 00:12:05
Schedule, yeah, obviously we don't want to do. 00:12:10
12 months of special sessions. I do, yeah. 00:12:13
Yeah, I mean today was. 00:12:19
Essentially the only time available in. 00:12:22
In the schedule for meetings in Vineyard. 00:12:25
To have a special session in January. 00:12:28
So it was hard. 00:12:31
Coming by this day. 00:12:32
In the first place. 00:12:33
So. 00:12:35
They had to cancel. They had a. 00:12:36
Library program. 00:12:39
That they do up to 530. 00:12:41
But sometimes you need to set up the room, so I usually recommend. 00:12:45
Get in the room from 5:00, so they have to cancel that to allow us to do the special session. 00:12:49
Yeah, yeah, this is just a long explanation to say whatever we decide. 00:12:55
We got to decide fast, right? 00:13:03
Right, that makes sense. 00:13:05
Never. 00:13:09
I can make it work if it if Thursdays is better for. 00:13:14
People. 00:13:17
Is there is there any risk of Planning Commission moving to Tuesdays now that City Council is on Tuesday? 00:13:23
It hasn't been. 00:13:29
Officially discussed yet? 00:13:31
We have talked about. 00:13:34
Various ways to make it. 00:13:36
Work for anyone that we have on our Commission. 00:13:37
And. 00:13:40
Discussions I've had so far has been. 00:13:42
Moving it to 7:00 PM. 00:13:44
Because people. 00:13:46
Typically work and would want to. 00:13:48
Have. 00:13:52
Enough time for driving and probably have dinner before. 00:13:53
OK, so even if. 00:13:57
Even if they did move to Tuesdays and we also moved to Tuesdays, ours being at 5:30 and there's being at 7:00. 00:13:58
Might be OK. 00:14:04
That could work. 00:14:05
I haven't heard anything about. 00:14:07
Day change. 00:14:09
I've only heard about time change. 00:14:11
OK, Yeah. 00:14:13
But. 00:14:14
I could get back to the team. 00:14:15
Next week. 00:14:17
Because I can go and inquire more. 00:14:19
I'm not in charge of the schedule for Planning Commission. 00:14:22
Or I can go and look into it more and just let you know. 00:14:24
The potential. 00:14:28
Options that. 00:14:29
Maybe. 00:14:30
Sounds good, yeah. 00:14:32
Do we, I mean, I think do you want to keep the schedule hanging or we should just lock Thursday in? 00:14:33
We could just lock it in. 00:14:41
That sounds good. 00:14:42
Are you sure? 00:14:44
The next meeting. 00:14:46
If it were the first Tuesday option. 00:14:47
Would be. 00:14:50
February 3rd. 00:14:53
I can block that time off. 00:14:56
As a meeting time. 00:15:00
For you, oh, that is in. 00:15:02
Two weeks. 00:15:04
I can block it off as a meeting time. 00:15:06
If you'll be willing to go the Tuesday route. 00:15:09
Or explore the Tuesday route. 00:15:12
Then you make the final decision, then I'll probably talk to the. 00:15:14
Recorded just to hold on for two weeks rather than just us. Make a final decision. We'll lock in both days. 00:15:19
But. 00:15:27
Technically. 00:15:28
It's just. 00:15:29
I fell off for you guys to make a decision. 00:15:30
On February 3rd if you want that. 00:15:34
Yes. 00:15:37
I do have. 00:15:40
A fairly strong preference for Thursdays because. 00:15:41
Tuesday nights I generally have to watch the baby. 00:15:45
Gotcha. OK, that makes sense. 00:15:48
Let's do Thursday. 00:15:50
Good Thursday nights. 00:15:52
OK. So there's no need coming back to the team? 00:15:53
No locking in Thursday, Thursday and again. 00:15:56
We're a small and growing team and. 00:15:59
I believe we're all flexible. 00:16:02
To make things work for everyone. So if we need to move some Thursdays not being necessarily the third, I just need enough notice 00:16:04
so I can. 00:16:08
Let everyone know. 00:16:13
And would make it work. 00:16:14
If we say Thursdays, it. 00:16:17
It is the third Thursday, but we can make it work for all of us. 00:16:19
Sounds good. 00:16:23
We got bit nest to handle. 00:16:25
I'm happy for you. 00:16:30
We OK. 00:16:33
So looking forward. 00:16:36
To upcoming activities. 00:16:38
And projects for ATC. 00:16:41
Do you have some things in mind, Anthony? 00:16:44
I just wanted this to that's why I had it as a work session. I just wanted this to be an open forum where we just discussed 00:16:47
general ideas that we have. We have typically. 00:16:52
You know, just thrown out ideas. 00:16:56
In the past in that spreadsheet that I shared earlier. 00:16:59
With the team, I will reshare that so it comes to everyone's e-mail. 00:17:02
Just so. 00:17:07
Our new commissioners know. 00:17:08
I created this. 00:17:10
Like, you know, Google Sheets. 00:17:13
That has everyone's. 00:17:15
It has everyone's. 00:17:18
E-mail contact phone number so you guys can, you know, communicate when you want to. 00:17:20
Just don't get through of you together in your house. It's then a courtroom and you should record that. 00:17:25
And present it to us. 00:17:30
Because you will be violating the meeting. 00:17:32
Regulations that the state has put together. 00:17:36
But as long as you only have two people, and even if you all meet and you're not talking city business. 00:17:39
That's fine. 00:17:44
That spreadsheet I can. 00:17:46
Probably. 00:17:49
Open that up. 00:17:50
Has a tab that has. 00:17:51
The chance for you to put in ideas and things that you'd like the Commission. 00:17:54
To consider discussing or working on. 00:17:58
It also gives the chance for. 00:18:08
You to make more input on what we need to have. 00:18:12
As a discussion. 00:18:18
Item for coming meetings. 00:18:20
I will share the link with everyone but this is what it looks like. It has everyone's. 00:18:23
Phone number and e-mail. 00:18:27
It also has. 00:18:30
This as you know. 00:18:33
Things that. 00:18:35
Got inputted by. 00:18:36
Commissioners. 00:18:38
You know the no names. 00:18:40
If you want to have. 00:18:43
An item really associated with your name. You can put it there so I reach out to you if I need more information. 00:18:46
But. 00:18:52
Just throw out ideas on things that. 00:18:53
Could be. 00:18:55
Discussed and worked on together these most of these have been. 00:18:56
I have been accomplished. I need to update this list. 00:19:02
To make it more current. 00:19:05
And. 00:19:07
You have the chance to do that. 00:19:09
And typically before I send a meeting agenda. 00:19:11
I sort of built the meeting here. 00:19:15
So this dashboard becomes one that you visit. 00:19:17
I don't know how often you want to, but. 00:19:20
I would be pulling things from here. 00:19:23
That. 00:19:26
Seem relevant enough? 00:19:27
For the moment. 00:19:29
Up here. 00:19:30
Depending on what needs to be done. 00:19:31
Right and. 00:19:34
Our projects and events. 00:19:36
Usually get updated here. 00:19:39
This is. 00:19:41
What we had for. 00:19:42
A Bike Month 2024. 00:19:45
Not much of it. 00:19:48
Got changed in 2025, so clearly this. 00:19:49
Needs to be updated. 00:19:53
But I will do this update and share the link again so it's up in everyone's e-mail. 00:19:54
And May is a big. 00:19:58
Month for the bike Commission. 00:20:00
Yeah. 00:20:02
Yeah, so some. 00:20:05
Some times that we think about, so there's. 00:20:07
Bike Month in May and then there's like a couple of conferences that you've been to right for. 00:20:11
Different like related. 00:20:18
Trends and stuff like that, yeah. 00:20:21
And then? 00:20:23
Booths that. 00:20:24
So yeah. 00:20:28
We just kind of spread them out. 00:20:30
So you don't have to be at everyone. 00:20:32
And then? 00:20:36
That's right. I mean, we, we can, we can all be there as long as we're not talking to city business. 00:20:38
If we start talking about something in a city, someone has to start recording. 00:20:47
Oh, and then there's a grant that we apply for. We have the chance to apply for a grant. 00:21:00
Or city related things that can. 00:21:08
Could go towards improvements. 00:21:12
Related. Yeah. 00:21:14
Oh, that's great. And we're not just restricted to that. 00:21:20
The arts grant that comes out. 00:21:23
Every year. 00:21:26
We could look out for other grants. 00:21:27
Two years ago I applied for the tag grant. 00:21:29
Which is. 00:21:33
An MPO Graham. 00:21:37
Given from uh uh. 00:21:38
Given by Mag. 00:21:39
And the tag is a technical. 00:21:41
Assistant for Government grant is the planning. 00:21:43
Grandad allows cities to plan. 00:21:47
Various parts of the city. 00:21:51
And we were awarded about 100 and. 00:21:53
$29,000. 00:21:55
And we used that. 00:21:57
To prepare. 00:21:59
A wayfinding master plan for the city. 00:22:02
And also update. 00:22:04
The transportation master plan. 00:22:06
So I have a final draft. It's ready. 00:22:09
Last year. 00:22:12
We did. We gave the public the chance to just make inputs. Every month we had a meeting. We. 00:22:14
Give updates on the project. 00:22:22
I just last week received a final. 00:22:25
Draft document that I can share with you to review. 00:22:28
The next steps for that project is for it to just go to. 00:22:32
Planning Commission. 00:22:37
Officially. 00:22:41
Presented here and discussed at ATC and then. 00:22:42
Go over to. 00:22:48
City Council for adoption. 00:22:52
Approval and adoption, that's the only thing left. Now I've put some brakes on it because you recognize we have a new council. 00:22:54
There's a lot of. 00:23:02
Administrative things that needs to be done. 00:23:04
And as they work through things, we. 00:23:07
We as staff have to be supportive and. 00:23:10
Be cognizant of the fact that. 00:23:14
We don't want to just drop a plan in front of them. 00:23:16
In the first few meetings. 00:23:19
Even though this has been ready for a while. 00:23:20
My plan is to. 00:23:23
Have them more educated on the. 00:23:25
On the plan that we have, we've worked so hard on it. You know, the consultant did a lot of outreach, came here, spoke to us a 00:23:27
couple of times. We decided on even how. 00:23:32
Signs should look on our trails. 00:23:38
All of that work. 00:23:41
Could. 00:23:42
Be put on the back bench. 00:23:44
If they don't understand. 00:23:46
So the strategy. 00:23:47
I've taken a staff or we have taken a staff is. 00:23:50
To allow them to get settled in. 00:23:54
Have a couple of meetings introduce the project to them better. 00:23:58
Where? 00:24:02
They they, they feel they have that ownership of. 00:24:02
Ownership and understanding of all the hard work that's gone into it. 00:24:07
Then when it goes to City Council, we don't have an hour discussion about why didn't we do this or when did it. 00:24:11
You know what? Did you do this? You know we don't. We want to avoid all those questions. 00:24:17
That could deter. 00:24:22
All the hard work. 00:24:24
You know, you turn them from approving all, you know, all the hard work that you guys have put in. 00:24:26
So that's the strategy. So that project is not just. 00:24:30
Laying somewhere. 00:24:34
My intention was after this meeting. 00:24:38
I will. 00:24:41
Send, you know. 00:24:42
The new final draft that we have. 00:24:44
Out. It's basically done. It has. 00:24:47
All your comments and things that needs to go in. 00:24:51
And the next thing. 00:24:55
With that same project is. 00:24:57
The Wayfinding master plan. It's within the. 00:25:01
Excuse me? 00:25:05
The wayfinding is within the. 00:25:07
Active transportation plan update. 00:25:10
However. 00:25:13
We want to create. 00:25:14
A separate document. 00:25:16
That makes it easy. 00:25:18
For someone who's just looking for the wayfinding. 00:25:21
Information. 00:25:24
To just go straight to it. 00:25:25
Rather than having to comb through the. 00:25:27
Active transportation plan to Chapter 6 or 7 to go find it. So we want to just pull that component out. 00:25:29
And add a few more specifications that would help people coming into our city. 00:25:37
That are doing business to to just grab. 00:25:41
And go like, OK, we need to put a sign on the trail that says we have hot dogs ahead. 00:25:44
And this is how it's supposed to look. 00:25:49
You know so. 00:25:51
It's just a plan that I. 00:25:52
Been thinking about that we should have in addition to the whole project which shouldn't cost us any extra. 00:25:54
Potentially. 00:26:02
So even if it does, I have to do it. 00:26:03
Internally I can do that. 00:26:06
Sure. So. 00:26:07
So that's the update on the plan. 00:26:09
Next steps for that would be me sending you the draft. 00:26:11
And I'll be updating you on. 00:26:15
How Council is receiving it so far? 00:26:19
Because my plan is to meet. 00:26:21
With each council member. 00:26:23
So they know. 00:26:26
This is how far we've come and this is what we've produced. 00:26:28
And you know. 00:26:32
Share that, you know, hear their concerns. 00:26:33
Try to answer their questions even before the day it's presented to them for adoption. 00:26:36
Then once I've been able to go through that process, I will just kick it into Planning Commission. 00:26:41
And ATC. 00:26:48
And then? 00:26:49
You know. 00:26:50
City Council. 00:26:51
So I know it's a long explanation for next steps for one project, but. 00:26:52
It's worth understanding the logic behind it. 00:26:57
So that's all I have. 00:27:00
That's great. Thanks, Anthony. 00:27:04
So we'll look forward to that, see this project all the way through. 00:27:06
And when on the day that it goes to City Council? 00:27:11
Would need to have at least one or two of you. 00:27:15
Available to like. You don't have to make a presentation, but you have to put in a word. 00:27:18
To just. 00:27:23
Affirm all the good work and you know. 00:27:24
How you're excited to use this to make the city better? 00:27:27
There are other things that. 00:27:30
Could be included. 00:27:33
That we could consider as you review that, but I'm not going to bring those up until you've gone through it and. 00:27:35
We all brainstorm on next steps for that. And it could. 00:27:42
Potentially be beneficial to. 00:27:46
Guiding the discussions with the new council because they're excited to make the city good. 00:27:49
But they need to understand. 00:27:55
And that's. 00:27:57
You know, taking up any new role. 00:27:59
That's what happens, right? It's a lot of information thrown at you. 00:28:01
I don't want all our hardware to be thrown. 00:28:05
At them. 00:28:07
I want them to feel part of it. 00:28:08
Gradually, so we might not be. 00:28:11
Having this adopted. 00:28:13
In the next month. 00:28:16
Or two, it's on purpose, even though it's ready to go. 00:28:17
I just wanted to be received on a different level. 00:28:22
It would be nice. 00:28:24
To have it for bike month but I don't know how. 00:28:25
Long it takes to implement but. 00:28:29
If it takes longer than maybe we roll it out. 00:28:33
Towards the end of the year. 00:28:37
Since oh, that's that's too far for finished document. 00:28:39
We can once we have, because there's still a lot of things in the air. 00:28:42
Regards to roles in the city and. 00:28:48
Basically. 00:28:52
The direction that the Council wants to go. 00:28:53
So once all those things are clear to staff. 00:28:57
We can just move forward with. 00:29:00
Getting it in, but in the meantime while the new council and administration figure out. 00:29:03
What they're doing? 00:29:08
I will be scheduling meetings. I already had one meeting with Councilmember Loray and Council member. 00:29:11
Would They both came in, we talked. 00:29:19
Extensively about the. 00:29:23
Plan and I felt like that was a win. 00:29:24
So that's great. Gradually is going to creep onto the others and. 00:29:27
Would get there. 00:29:32
So the plan is to do it before the. 00:29:34
You know, before the end of second quarter. 00:29:37
But you bring up a good point. 00:29:40
Doing it before bike month so we can call, you know we can. 00:29:42
It gives us more bragging rights, you know. 00:29:46
We usually do like a bike tour with the community. 00:29:48
And so we just like. 00:29:52
Everybody on wheels and we're just going around and it would be nice to have these wayfinders out. 00:29:54
So it's like, hey. 00:30:00
Like, yeah, this is brand new. Yeah, it's implementation though. 00:30:01
We probably need to go get some grant. 00:30:06
Or if we could sell it well. 00:30:09
Which you have the power to do that if you could sell it well to the. 00:30:12
New council, they could give the direction. 00:30:16
To have some money. 00:30:20
Allocated to make this happen. 00:30:22
But in the meantime. 00:30:24
We could be looking out for grants. I'm always looking and if anyone finds any grants out there. 00:30:26
That we can apply for. 00:30:32
If we get that, we can straight up get it installed. 00:30:34
As long as. 00:30:38
The Council agrees that they are installed. 00:30:40
So. 00:30:43
We all have some homework to do. 00:30:45
Go find the money. 00:30:48
Yeah. 00:30:52
OK, I think. 00:30:56
We've reached the end of our items. 00:30:58
Yeah. 00:31:01
So. 00:31:04
I would also send the link to. 00:31:07
This item that I have here this spreadsheet. 00:31:11
And please feel free, I'll update it before I do it, but. 00:31:14
Feel free to put in things and if you have any ideas. 00:31:18
Just e-mail me, I'll give me a call. 00:31:22
That works. 00:31:25
As well. Umm. 00:31:25
Great. All right, then I moved to. 00:31:26
Adjourn our meeting. 00:31:31

Fantastic. 00:31:35
Do I need a second? 00:31:36
You're the chair. We can close. Everybody go home. 00:31:40
