Committee backs forwarding $1,000 bicycle‑helmet grant to city council
Summary
The committee voted to recommend sending a $1,000 Salem Bicycle Club grant application for the helmet‑fitting program to the city council; staff will attempt to 'walk on' the item to council under other business on Oct. 21 if needed.
Committee member Hersh moved that the committee apply to the Salem Bicycle Club for a $1,000 grant to support the helmet‑fitting program; the motion was seconded and the committee voted in favor with no recorded opposition. Committee members instructed staff to forward the recommendation to the city council so the application could be included in the council packet or walked on under other business if necessary.
Members reported recent helmet‑fitting activity: the committee fitted roughly 40–50 kids at a recent SURF Fest event (date corrected during the meeting to Aug. 30) and have remaining inventory of about 24 small, 24 medium, 24 large and roughly 8–10 extra‑large helmets available through the spring. Staff said they will bring the recommendation to the Oct. 21 council meeting and pursue the grant process.
