Title
Strategic Initiative 1.3 Develop Strategies to Improve Safety for All Modes of Transportation (B)
Explanation
This item has been placed on the Committee's agenda at the request of the Strategic Planning staff. Strategic Initiative 1.3 is a new initiative that was added as part of the City Commission's Strategic Plan that was adopted last fall. This Strategic Initiative was discussed during the City Commission's Strategic Planning Retreat last year. The details of this Strategic Initiative were not been identified. This Strategic Initiative was referred to the Recreation, Cultural Affairs and Public Works (RCAPW) Committee as well as the Public Safety Committee. Since both members of the Public Safety Committee also serve on the RCAPW Committee, staff thought it would make sense to bring this item before the RCAPW Committee for discussion and guidance.
There is overlap with Strategic Initiative 1.3 and Strategic Initiative 5.1 Promote an Integrated Transportation System That is Safe and Accessible to All Users and Supportive of the City's Economic Development and Sustainability Efforts. Public Works and GPD have worked together for many years and continue to work together on improving safety as identified under Strategic Initiative 5.1.
One option is for Strategic Initiative 1.3 to be incorporated into Strategic Initiative 5.1 since this is now an integrated strategic initiative covering all modes of transportation and also including safety. Another option is to retain Strategic Initiative 1.3 as a separate strategic initiative and direct staff to draft the proposed details and return to the RCAPW Committee for approval.
Fiscal Note
This is no fiscal impact.
Recommendation
The Committee provide direction on Strategic Initiative 1.3 Develop Strategies to Improve Safety for All Modes of Transportation.
