Sustainability commissioners add two members to Active Transportation Subcommittee
Summary
The Palm Springs Sustainability Commission approved adding Karen Wilmouth and Miguel Torres to its Active Transportation Subcommittee and discussed membership size, Brown Act training and subcommittee goals.
At its Feb. 17 meeting the Palm Springs Sustainability Commission voted to add two community members — Karen Wilmouth and Miguel Torres — to the Active Transportation Subcommittee.
Flynn (staff) said the subcommittee held a Feb. 9 meeting and three sustainability commissioners currently participate; the commission discussed the subcommittee’s size, the need for Brown Act training for members and a cap to keep the working group effective. The commission then voted to appoint Wilmouth and Torres; a single abstention was recorded during the voice vote.
Commissioners described the Active Transportation Subcommittee as a high‑energy working group that is focusing on pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, and they asked staff to ensure new members receive any required orientation or Brown Act guidance before participation. The appointment was the only formal membership action taken at the meeting; commissioners also addressed a range of city initiatives in subcommittee reports.
The commission did not produce a roll‑call tally in the meeting transcript; meeting staff noted absences and recorded abstentions for members not present at specific prior meetings.
