BACKGROUND: Since its 2001 inception, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee has sought to recruit two high school age students among its nine members. The Committee felt that biking and walking issues directly touch the lives of young people in our community, and that they should have a voice in advising the City Council on these issues. Although attracting and retaining applicants has been challenging, the students who have participated over the past 15 years have been extremely competent and have contributed to the implementation of San Rafael’s original Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and its 2011 and 2018 update. ANALYSIS: One youth seat has been “open until filled” due to the recent lack of applications. In February 2019, Tyler Nielsen applied. On June 5, 2019, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee interviewed Mr. Nielsen and the members unanimously recommended his appointment to the Committee. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. RECOMMENDATION: Confirm the appointment of Tyler Nielsen to serve as a youth member on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
