PUBLIC COMMENT APPROVAL of MINUTES Regular Meeting of July 20, 2011 ELECTION of OFFICERS Election of officers: Chair and Vice-Chair to serve an annual term beginning October 2011.
A. Proposed Ordinance - Texting While Driving Prohibition This item was first discussed in 2010 by the City?s Transportation Commission. The Commission requested that Staff monitor the State and Federal government to see if legislation was likely to be enacted. In 2010 this was a very „hot? topic within the US Department of Transportation, but there has been little activity recently. City Staff therefore went ahead and drafted a local ordinance banning the use of wireless communications devices while driving. Staff Recommendation: The Commission should make recommendations / comments regarding the proposed Texting While Driving Prohibition Ordinance. Discuss the path forward from City Transportation Commission to City Council for eventual adoption. B. Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Appointments For various reasons the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committees are in a position where they need to (re)appoint all of their membership.
