modes of transportation.

implementation of the Bicycle and Trails Master Plan and improving multimodal infrastructure.

None identified.
Performance and Administrative Implications:
Current and ongoing administrative work includes drafting the Agenda, compiling the packet, recording
minutes, responding to Members emails and performing requested tasks, attending monthly meetings, and
coordinating with other departments. This work averages 10-20 hours each month. The PW Engineering
Division performance is pushed to prioritize bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure by this Committee. The

raises issues from constituents.

police, and Parks staff. Each meeting costs the City approximately $2000 depending on the tasks directed by
the Committee. The amendments to the BTAC resolution do not create any additional fiscal impact.
