Subcommittees – Notices, Meetings & Minutes There was discussion of subcommittee meeting locations, and it was noted that Delgado's home at 2030 Wine or the offices of A Street Design Group at 545 A Street would meet the accessibility requirements of state public meetings law. It was noted that staff should be informed of subcommittee meetings so that they can address public noticing requirements, and that a standard meeting time and place would be preferred. Delgado reminded members that minutes needed to be taken for subcommittee meetings, but she added that if the minutes were submitted for inclusion in the packets they could serve as subcommittee reports. Goal Setting Members discussed assigning someone to serve as a liaison for the Jackson County Bicycle Committee. It was suggested that a letter be drafted informing them of the commission’s existence and inviting to meetings. It was also suggested that commission members attend the JCBC meetings on a rotating basis. Chapman expressed concern about trail connections being missed and the need for a watchdog to oversee potential connections as part of the planning actions. Delgado noted that time commitment expectations had last been discussed in November, 2003 and the hope at that time was that each member could serve 4-5 hours per month in addition to meeting attendance. Those present compiled a draft goal list \[see attached\].
