input and feedback from the community and encourages
community members to provide input during discussions. This
does not change any of the meeting structure, and the Commission
will continue to ask community members to fill out the blue
speaker cards for Oral Communications on topics that are not on
the agenda. For discussion directly related to an agenda item, we
welcome active participation, clarification questions and other
input from the community, after also filling out blue speaker cards
during their first comment. The Commission Chair reserves the
option to hold a question/comment if it is not related to the agenda
item.
c. Bikefest participation was discussed for family ride only versus adult ride
and/or both.
