Ordinance for the formation of the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission
TO:
SUBJECT:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve
I) An ordinance establishing the formation of the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission,
2) Appoint one BP AB member to a full four (4) year term, appoint one BP AB member to a
partial term of one (1) year, appoint one BP AB member to a partial term of two (2) years

Background
The Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board was created on August 7, 2000 as an advisory Board to
the Parks & Recreation Commission. Based on their current charter, the Bicycle Pedestrian
Advisory Board reports their recommendations to the Park & Recreation Commission. The Parks
& Recreation Commission reviews the Board requests and makes recommendations to the City
Council on the Board's behalf.
Over the past eight years (8) the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board has worked principally on
projects that occur in the City street right of way area This area of involvement is very different
from the Parks & Recreation Commission focus of facilities on private land owned by the City of
Gilroy.
At a regular Parks & Recreation Commission meeting on November 18, 2008, the Commission
discussed the Board's request to report directly to the City Council and unanimously voted to
support having the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board report their advisory recommendations
directly to the City Council.
If the City Council concurs that the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board shall report directly to
the Council then the BP AB by-laws will be amended to reflect this change.
