Council amends BPAC terms, appoints new Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee members
Summary
The council approved a bylaws adjustment for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) to stagger some terms and confirmed appointments to fill vacant seats; the council asked staff to simplify candidate categories and to advertise youth representative openings when school is in session.
The City Council revised the BPAC’s membership terms and confirmed several appointments to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee at its June 17 meeting.
Staff proposed a minor bylaws change to stagger membership terms so the committee does not experience large simultaneous turnover. Councilmembers discussed simplifying categorical seat definitions (for example: keeping a Cabrillo Unified School District designee and a youth seat but otherwise opening seats to walking and biking enthusiasts without strict subcategories). The council asked staff to revise application language so demographic or experiential details can be collected without imposing strict categorical limits.
The council appointed the following members (terms and categories per staff packet): James Corniglia (appointed/reappointed), Brandon White (reappointed and serving as chair), Jim Sullivan, Kathleen Ferens and Katie Murdock; the youth seat remained vacant and will be re‑advertised with the school year. The Cabrillo Unified School District designee will be appointed directly by the district when the district selects its representative.
Why it matters: BPAC advises the city on active‑transportation projects and grant priorities. Council members asked staff to finalize bylaw language simplifying categories and to return a formal bylaw update for adoption when the revisions are complete.
The appointments were adopted by motion in the meeting; staff will post committee rosters and confirm appointment terms.
