5	6:50	Discussion of Miscellaneous Issues (20 minutes) Kevin Dalley. The committee will discuss the items identified below. The committee may recommend sending one or more of these items to the full BPAC for consideration. ● BPAC’s enabling ordinance states that the Chair of the City Council’s Public Works Committee will serve as the liaison between the BPAC and City Council. That committee is now the “Public Works and Transportation Committee”. Correcting this name would require City Council adopting an ordinance modifying the original legislation creating BPAC in 2014. ● Encourage AC Transit to use Hayden AI cameras to automatically ticket vehicles parked in bike lanes. ● Should there be a BPAC liaison to Oakland Fire Department? ● State legislation: ○ AB1837 automated ticketing ○ AB1421 mileage based fee system. State (maybe local) ○ AB1976 bike/ped advisory commissions ○ AB1942 E-Bike Licenses, Bike East Bay opposes
