PRESENTATIONS FROM STAFF, CONSULTANTS, AND INVITED GUESTS
Mr. Dean Martin, 1060 Roseridge Circle, representing both the Environmental Quality
Commission and the Pedestrian /Bicycle Task Force (under the auspices of the
Environmental Quality Commission). He first made a presentation and highlighted the
information submitted by the Pedestrian /Bicycle Task Force. Councilman Richard Groner
suggested that the data in these reports be overlaid with the data in the Park and
Recreation maps to see how their data compares to that given in the reports. Mr. Martin
stated that they had compared the data, and that their Task Force has been trying to
coordinate their efforts with the City's greenway system. He stated that their committee's
printing capabilities are not as sophisticated as the Parks and Recreation Department's,
and that in the cases where the colors on the map seem to conflict, the numbers printed
should take precedence over the colors printed.
Mr. Martin then distributed the Environmental Quality Commission annual report, and
stated he feels that significant progress has been made since last year's report. Following
Mr. Martin's presentations, Mayor Tom Rackers commended him and the other citizens
serving on these bodies for a job well done.
