PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is updating its by-laws. Changes include updates to terminology, changing the "How Amended" section to reflect advice given by the City Legal Department, and the addition of an ex-official, non-voting, seat for the local non-profit Billings TrailNet. BPAC voted to approve these changes in two parts during its meetings on January 22, 2019 and April 23, 2019. BPAC plans to bring the revised by-laws to the County Commissioners' discussion on September 5, 2019 and to the Commission's regular meeting for approval on September 10, 2019.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Approve, or;
- Disapprove, or;
- Ask for amendments to the document and ask for BPAC to bring the by-laws back to City Council for approval
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to the City whether City Council approves or disapproves these by-laws changes.
RECOMMENDATION
BPAC recommends approval of the updates to the Committee's by-laws.
