Committee member urges dedicated staff for Bike Brighton program
Summary
Committee member David McWilliams asked the Bike Brighton Sub-Committee to prioritize its goals and consider adding a staff member solely dedicated to the program, saying current staff may be too busy; no formal motion or vote on staffing was recorded.
At the March 5 meeting of the City of Brighton Bike Brighton Sub-Committee, committee member David McWilliams urged the group to focus on its goals and consider dividing responsibilities to make projects easier to accomplish. He also requested that the city assign an additional staff member dedicated exclusively to Bike Brighton, saying he is concerned that Amanda Aburto "is too busy with her normal job" to provide the level of attention the program requires.
McWilliams cited the value of sustained staff advocacy for program continuity, noting that member Mark Humbert has been a notable advocate for Bike Brighton. The transcript records the concern as discussion; no motion to change staffing levels or create a dedicated position was made and no vote was recorded on the proposal.
Committee members did not take a formal vote on staffing during this meeting. The topic remains on the committee's goals agenda for future meetings, where members indicated they may divide goals among themselves and follow up on staffing and workload concerns.
