THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff Terry Gulley, Transportation Services Director Chris Brown, City Engineer FROM: Matt Mihalevich, Trails Coordinator DATE: March 2"d, 2017 SUBJECT: 2017-0137 Active Transportation Advisory Committee — Ordinance Amendment RECOMMENDATION: An ordinance to amend 33.350 Purpose and Establishment of Article XXIII Active Transportation Advisory Committee of the Fayetteville Code to expand the scope of the committee's duties and to establish a time for the election of a committee chair. BACKGROUND: On March 1s', the Fayetteville Active Transportation Committee unanimously supported amending the language of section 33.350 to clarify the committee's duties and expand communication between the Active Transportation Committee and the Transportation Committee as shown in the proposed amended ordinance below. The committee recommends forwarding the amended ordinance language to the Transportation Committee and City Council with a recommendation of approval. The current ordinance for the Active Transportation Advisory Committee was last updated in 2010 when it was changed from the Sidewalk and Trail Task Force. The proposed language will clarify that recommendations from the Active Transportation Advisory Committee be forwarded to the Transportation Committee. The current language has recommendations going to the Transportation Division or Parks Board. DISCUSSION: The Active Transportation Advisory Committee discussed the need for additional coordination and information sharing between the two committees. The goal of the increased communication is to provide input on transportation projects early in the design phase to avoid project delays and potential changes later in the projects. This should result in making better transportation projects without necessarily increasing project costs. To increase communication, the Active Transportation Advisory Committee recommends having a member give quarterly reports to the Transportation Committee and hosting bi-annual guided Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 tours focused on opportunities for active transportation infrastructure improvements. The tours will serve as two of the quarterly reports. "We will grow a livable transportation network" is a top priority for our city outlined in the City Plan 2030. It is towards attainment of this goal that the Active Transportation Advisory Committee proposes improved coordination between the two committees. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: No cost for this item. The Active Transportation Advisory Committee members will give the quarterly reports/tours so this should not result in an increase in staff time. Attachments: Ordinance to Amend 33.350 ORDINANCE NO.
