PBAC approves minutes and forms subcommittees; staff to coordinate sign-ups
Summary
The Sandpoint Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee approved minutes and established subcommittees at its Dec. 12 meeting, including a Cedar Street subcommittee and four additional ad‑hoc working groups to support design review and public outreach.
At its Dec. 12 meeting, the Sandpoint Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee approved minutes from its Nov. 14, 2024 meeting and formally established several subcommittees to support committee work.
Vice Chair Molly O’Reilly called for approval of the Nov. 14 minutes; committee members voiced “Aye” and the minutes were approved as presented. Later in the meeting the committee recorded a motion and vote to form a Cedar Street subcommittee composed of Erin Billings, Evan Lewis and Molly O’Reilly; staff members Brandon and Holly will serve ex officio for that subcommittee.
After broader discussion of subcommittee responsibilities and workload, the committee voted to form four additional subcommittees: a multimodal transportation master plan subcommittee, an intersection design subcommittee, a development review subcommittee and an event planning subcommittee. Committee members agreed to provide first, second and third preferences via email; staff offered to send a blind‑copy email to committee members with descriptions of the subcommittees and collect member preferences. Members discussed keeping no subcommittee larger than four members to avoid creating a quorum of the full committee within a subcommittee.
No roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript; motions to form the subcommittees were seconded and approved with all present members indicating “Aye.” The meeting record shows the Cedar Street subcommittee and the four additional subcommittees were established during the session. Staff said they will add Cedar Street design materials to a future agenda and will circulate a contact list and sign-up instructions by email.
Actions recorded in the meeting minutes will be reflected in the committee’s formal minutes and staff follow-ups. Committee members also discussed how private development and city capital projects are posted on the city planning website and how subcommittees (particularly development review) could review projects once they are posted for public comment.
