III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background ( continued):
Three years ago,the committee took on the task of drafting and completing the Countywide Bicycle
Action Plan. This was funded through a TDA Grant and benefits all of the cities and Contra Costa
County.
After recently completing the Countywide Bicycle Action Plan, the committee discussed their goals
for the coming year. As part of that discussion the committee expressed concern that some of the
committee members rarely, if ever, attended the meetings. A sub-committee was formed to review
member attendance of past meetings and to contact those members who had not regularly attended
to find out why they did not attend. The sub-committee discovered that three of the district
representative could not attend due to conflicts with their jobs and/or could not fit it into their daily
schedule. In addition, there were three membership changes recommended: 1)Delete the California
Highway Patrol from the committee; 2) Delete the Superintendent of Schools from the committee
and; 3) Add an additional bicycle organization to the committee. We are recommending the Board
declare vacancy for the three districts representatives who can no longer attend the meetings and refer
the membership modifications to the Transportation Committee.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
There would be no replacement of those members that can not attend and no consideration to modify
the committee membership.
