We'd like to discuss structure and processes for how we intend to have our City Committee function moving forward.

Our basic desire is to set up a series of 5 sub-committees that match the City of Winnipeg's Community Committees, and have these coordinate with Bike to the Future's Active Transportation Advisory Committee reps. The City Community Committees are where things like rezoning and AT requests (positive and negative) are initiated, and there is often short notice (2 to 3 days) of what exactly will be heard at the committees. An important role of the BttF sub-committees would be to monitor these City Community Committees and build relations with the councilors on them. The sub-committees would allow for a localized knowledge to be built up, which would then be used to develop and prioritize potential AT projects. Sub-committees would also have the ability to plan local events and displays at local festivals, etc.

Preliminary agenda

• Role and setup of BttF Community Committees
• How to coordinate BttF Community Committees with BttF Monthly Meetings and Board
• How to coordinate BttF Community Committees and ATAC reps
• Setting up Regular Meetings to Coordinate Activities
