Meeting Notes

1. Welcome
Basil Christopher and Mike McCarthy welcomed the group to its first meeting
2. Introductions
Each group member introduced themselves and told the group a bit about themselves
3. Review Subcommittee Role and Purpose
Mike McCarthy explained a bit of the history of how the decision was made to form this group, the
process to get it going, and its two purposes:
a) Advise staff and the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee on issues affecting
pedestrians and cyclists
b) Enhance and promote the community of Tigard by supporting walking and cycling.
4. Natural Areas, Parks, and Trails Bond Information Session
Steve Martin provided factual information about the City of Tigard Election Measure to Acquire,
Preserve and Protect Open Spaces,Water Quality, Habitat, and Parks. Staff and City committees
(such as this subcommittee) can neither support nor oppose any issue on the ballot. This does not
limit what individuals can do on their own accord.
5. Discuss Subcommittee Functional Details
The basic operation of the committee was discussed. Summary notes of each meeting will be taken,
but not detailed official minutes. The group decided to meet every third Thursday from 5:00 to
6:30pm at one of the conference rooms at City Hall.
The group will try to use its meeting time to focus on the big-picture issues that will help
pedestrians and cyclists the most. For location-specific issues, such as striping or recommending
projects, call Mike directly at 503-718-2462. For maintenance issues (potholes, tree trimming, etc.)
report them to Public Works dispatch at 503-718-2591. If you feel that an issue has not been
addressed satisfactorily, then bring it up with the committee.
