amendments to Title 18 to comply with pedestrian and transit
requirements of the state transportation planning rule. Dale

was ready to adopt today.
Chair Throop opened the public hearing.

MINUTES PAGE 2 APRIL 21, 1993
0126.1148
expressed concerns with Ordinance No. 93-005 with regard to
the bike path width. He is supportive of improving the bike
paths.
Karen Swirsky testified in support of Ordinance No. 93-003 and
93-005. She felt the position for the bicycle coordinator did
not have to be a supervisory position but there needed to be
one. She also felt the State standards for the width of the
bike lane should be used as the guidelines for the County.
Sally Russell testified in support of Ordinance No. 93-003 and
93-005.
Chair Throop closed the public hearing.
Rick Isham asked a question regarding utility poles on the
bike path right-of-way. Chair Throop asked the staff to
explore this and get back to the Board.
Chair Throop asked what Larry Rice's reaction was to
designating a person to being the bicycle coordinator and to
the half-time FTE language.
Larry Rice reported that the Public Works Department has
worked cooperatively with the Bicycle Advisory Committee for
at least three years. He said he had not seen many Ordinances
that put a requirement number on staff time for a specific
activity. Larry felt that it should be a function of the
Planning Department.
Commissioner Schlangen suggested that the County designate
bicycle/pedestrian coordinators in Public Works and Planning.
She felt it would make each department aware that this was
part of the their function.
Karen Swirsky felt it was very important to allocate a partial
position to the bicycle/pedestrian coordinator. She felt it
was a good idea to have a partial person in Public Works and
Planning. Karen expressed concern about eliminating the time
allocation for the bicycle/pedestrian coordinator. She did
not feel that enough time would be spent on this project
unless it was designated as a half time position.
Commissioner Slaughter expressed concern about public safety
which should go along with this bicycle program.
Commissioner Throop suggested identifying coordinators in
Public Works and Community Development to total a half time
FTE committed to this function.
Commissioner Schlangen stated an amendment to Ordinance No.
93-003 to read as follows: The County Shall designate Bicycle
