RESUBMITTED:    June 24, 2002

The Council on April 8, 2002, adopted the following goal:

(36)  Consider combining the Transportation Board and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board, or modifying the charges of these boards (and perhaps the Greenways Commission) so that there is less overlap in their assigned duties.

We recommend that the Council appoint a committee composed of two or more Council members and two members from each of the respective boards to develop a proposal for revised charges for each of these boards.

Adoption of the attached resolution would do so.
