1) The Committee reviewed the applicants noting there are six vacancies as one appointment is
for a Greenway representative. Chair Lover noted it is great to have so many qualified
candidates for these boards and committees and is appreciative of two former City Council
Members applying for the Bike/Ped Committee. HOvvever, he believes the Committee should
have only one former Council Member and with Neil McClure's background on the previous
bike/ped oonnnnittoe, he would recommend his appointment. By committee consensus, the
following candidates are recommended for appointment:

For the last appointment to the Bike/Ped Committee, Chair Lover recommends Darrell
Patterson and Member A. Gutierrez recommends Ken Jones. It was Committee consensus
to have the bike/ped committee members, once appointed, do a straw poll to determine
term lengths.
2) It was Committee consensus to interview all applicants for the exploratory committees, and if
puoaib|e, have two different interview dates for each individual exploratory committee
