It affects our tax base.
It affects our small business base.
And so anything we can do to help displace businesses to find other places, I think that's gonna be useful as us.
We want to be a friendly, a business-friendly city.
Yeah, second.
I do have a clarifying question.
Is that okay to do now?
Yeah, we've been talking to a number of residents over the last two to three months about how we're getting comments about ATP, comments about bike pad, comments about where we are with bike lanes in general.
And I was curious to understand why this individual was chosen again to represent
the city in the BPAC because based on the votes, based on the voting records, based on the comments that we've seen in some of those meetings, it may not necessarily represent all of the city's views and where we are today.
So I was kind of curious as to why the staff made that recommendation.
THE RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE BY THE BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN COMMISSION THROUGH A UNANIMOUS VOTE.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS FOUR OF THE FIVE COMMISSIONERS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
AND HERVE WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THOSE.
AND SO HE DID SAY HE COULD DO THAT.
NOT NECESSARILY.
THE PURPOSE OF THE VPAC IS TO PROVIDE EXPERTISE AND GUIDANCE TO THE BOARD ON PROMOTING AND ENHANCING NONMOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT SANTA CLARA COUNTY AND SERVES AS A LIAISON BETWEEN THE VTA AND THE MEMBER AGENCY BIKE PED COMMISSION.
SO BASICALLY THEY PROVIDE EXPERTISE AND GUIDANCE AND THEY'RE A LIAISON BETWEEN THE VPAC AND OUR BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN COMMISSION.
Per the VTA bylaws, it must be a member of the bicycle pedestrian commission if the city has a bicycle pedestrian commission.
Yeah I can't provide you all a list of all the items that they vote on but again the point of the BPAC representative is to provide some guidance and you know general expertise you know their expertise on the subject matter.
