AGENDA REPORT ITEM 4A
DATE: May 15, 2025
FROM: Adam Fukushima, Active Transportation Manager
SUBJECT: OFFICER ELECTIONS
Recommendation: Select a Chairperson and a Vice-Chairperson to preside for the next year.
Discussion
The committee chairperson and vice-chairperson play an important role in committee meetings.
The chairperson’s main role is to provide the advisory body with group direction and to set the
tone for meetings. The Chair also balances making sure all committee points of view have been
heard on an agenda topic yet also assertive enough to move the meeting along to reach decision
within the time allotted. The vice-chair presides over meetings when the chair is unable to.
Article 3 of the Active Transportation Committee Bylaws states:
“The officers will consist of a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson who will be elected
annually at a regular Committee meeting in each calendar year. The Chairperson will
preside over all meetings of the Committee and perform such duties as directed by the
Committee. The Vice-Chairperson will serve in the absence or incapacity of the
Chairperson.”
The Advisory Body Handbook provides additional information about the role and
responsibilities of the chair and vice chair. See Attachment 1 from the Handbook for an excerpt
of the traits of an effective chairperson.
Additional officer duties include writing quarterly progress reports, representing the ATC at the
Mayor’s quarterly luncheon, and representing the Committee at relevant Advisory Body and City
Council meetings. The term of office is for one year. No person shall serve in the office of
chairperson or vice chairperson for more than two consecutive terms. Garrett Otto has served one
year as chair and therefore is eligible to serve in that role for one more consecutive year.
Likewise, Kimmie Nguyen has served one year as vice-chair and therefore is eligible to serve in
that role for the next year as well.
All committee members should consider serving as an officer at some point in their term as each
individual brings their own experiences and points of view to the roles.
Next Steps
Page 9 of 23
The newly selected chair and vice-chair will start their term at the next ATC meeting.

G. Special Tips for the Chairperson
The chairperson’s main role is to provide the advisory body with group direction and to set the
tone for meetings. The Chair must balance being strong enough to move the meeting along and
democratic enough to involve all members in the meeting. The effective chairperson:
Remembers to explain the public participation process to the audience. (For example: “The
commission will hear first from staff who will present the staff report. Commission questions to
staff will follow and then the floor will be open to the public, who may comment on the matter.
Following public comment, the matter will come back to the commission for our deliberation and
action.”)
1. Announces each item before discussion begins.
2. Is even-handed and fair to all participants.
3. Observes specified time limits.
4. Protects commissioners and staff from verbal attacks.
5. Solicits opinions, feelings, and positions from all members.
6. Encourages the generation of alternative solutions.
7. Protects new thoughts from being rejected prior to fair evaluation.
8. Discourages finger pointing and blame-orientated statements or questions.
9. Keeps the discussion focused on the issue.
10. Delays evaluation and analysis of alternatives until all are on the table.
11. Guides the process of screening alternatives and selecting the solution.
12. Attempts to obtain consensus.
13. Moves the meeting along and does not let the advisory body drift off the subject at hand.
H. Managing Difficult Meetings
Here are some additional tips for managing any meeting, but particularly the difficult ones:
1. Encourage the designation of a spokesperson for any groups.
2. Ask staff to make sure there are plenty of extra agendas and staff reports.
3. Establish and announce rules before the meeting begins.
4. Introduce each item and possible actions.
Page 11 of 23
Advisory Body Handbook October 1 , 2024
City of San Luis Obispo 28 | Page
5. Try not to waste time on routine items.
6. Encourage speakers to address the advisory body and not the audience.
7. Discourage clapping and shouting.
8. Use recesses to help diffuse hostility.
9. Adhere to speaker time limits.
10. If you don’t already, use speaker slips/cards.
11. Make sure that all advisory body members are addressing each other, through you, and not the
audience.
12. Consider continuing an item for further discussion if it appears consensus may not be reached.
I. Public Records Act and Public Records Retention
The state’s Public Records Act (Government Code Sections 6250 et seq.) generally authorizes any
person to request and receive copies of public records maintained by any state or local agency,
unless the records sought are exempt from disclosure. The definition of “public record” is quite
extensive and incorporates almost every conceivable sort of electronic or hard copy image,
document or communication that relates in a substantive way to the conduct of City business, that
is in the possession of a public employee or official. Public records are required to be retained by
public agencies under a different set of statutes for varying periods of time. Public records stored
on either City or personal devices and accounts must comply with the Public Records Act and
retention statutes. See the City’s Records Retention Policy, Electronic Communications Policy,
Mobile Phone Policy, and the City Council Social Media Policy for what constitutes a public
record that must be retained.
Advisory board members that receive records substantively relating to City business, either hard
copy or electronic, at home or work should forward them to appropriate City staff for storage and
retention on the City’s system.
No advisory board member has a City managed email account. Each board member is required to
forward email records pertaining to their conduct of City business, received directly or through
private accounts or devices, to the advisory body mailbox. The staff member assigned to the
respective board can advise the members as to how to forward records to the advisory body
mailbox.

AGENDA REPORT ITEM 5B
DATE: May 15, 2025
FROM: Adam Fukushima, Active Transportation Manager
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL EFFORTS
Recommendation
Receive a presentation on Safe Routes to School efforts in the City
Background
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is an international effort to increase the number of students
bicycling and walking to schools, usually in the K-12 grades. It involves a multipronged approach
to improve transportation infrastructure around schools (usually focused on a one-mile radius
around schools) along with encouragement programs such walk and bike to school days, and
education.
Increasing SRTS is a goal of the City’s Active Transportation Plan (ATP) including Goal Policy
2.5.
Goal Policy 2.5: Develop a focused Safe Routes to School Improvement Plan for all K-12 schools
in San Luis Obispo to reduce safety and mobility barriers to walking and biking to school.
In addition, Performance Measure 7 of the ATP measures the City’s success in increasing SRTS
efforts with the goal to double the mode share for all bicycle and pedestrian trips for public K-12
schools in the city. This performance measure is measured by a SRTS Survey that is conducted by
the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) every other year. In 2022, SLOCOG
conducted the first survey since adoption of the City’s ATP, which produced the following results
on mode share:
•Bicycle, scooter, or skate - 20.7%
•Walk - 19%
•School Bus - 13%
•Drive alone or only with family - 43%
•Carpool - 4%
•Public Transit - 1.79%
Completed Efforts
Page 13 of 23
With the goal to complete a SRTS plan for each public school in the city, one plan has been adopted
so far, which is the Safe Routes to School Plan for Bishop Peak and Pacheco Elementary Schools.
Given the close proximity of these two schools, one Plan was created for both schools in 2017 and
the recommended projects were incorporated into the ATP upon its adoption in 2021.
Since then, major projects from the SRTS Plan have been constructed as part of annual paving
including:
1) Neighborhood Greenways on Patricia, Ferrini, Cerro Romouldo
2) Upgraded curb ramps and cross walks surrounding both schools
3) New bike lane on Highland Dr near Ferrini
4) Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon at Ferrini
5) Shared Use Path between Foothill and Ramona
6) Protected Bike Lanes on Ramona, Broad, and Chorro
In addition, numerous traffic calming measures were included as part of the annual paving around
the two schools including:
1) Traffic circles on Patricia, Cerro Romouldo
2) Striping improvements
3) Speed humps on Patricia, Cerro Romouldo, and Ramona
Projects Supporting SRTS at other Schools
With the focus of the ATP on accommodating more vulnerable community members by bike and
foot, annual paving projects have implemented projects from the ATP, where possible. Those
include the following projects by school:
Hawthorne Elementary
1) Neighborhood Greenways on Nipomo, Islay, Hutton, King Streets (planned greenways on
Exposition, Corrida, Woodbridge as part of the Higuera Complete Streets project)
2) Upgraded curb ramps and cross walks surrounding the school
3) New bi-directional protected bike lane on High St
4) Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon at South/King (upgrade to signal in planning) and
Broad/Upham
5) Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon at Broad/Woodbridge
6) Protected Bike Lanes on Ramona, Broad, and Chorro
C. L Smith Elementary/Laguna Middle School
1) Neighborhood Greenways on Oceanaire, Galleon, and Atascadero Rd
2) Upgraded curb ramps and cross walks surrounding the school
3) Protected Bike Lanes on Oceanaire connecting to Madonna Rd
4) Shared Use Path on Madonna from Madonna Inn to Oceanaire
In addition, numerous traffic calming measures were included as part of the annual paving around
the school including:
Page 14 of 23
1) Striping improvements
2) Speed humps on Oceanaire
Sinsheimer Elementary
1) Rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB), refuge medians, and road diet on
Sydney/Johnson
2) Upgraded curb ramps and cross walks surrounding the school
Efforts by City Partners
In addition to infrastructure improvements, the City supports and promotes the SRTS efforts by
agency partners. The largest program is led by Rideshare, a division of SLOCOG, who leads
educational and encouragement programs throughout the San Luis Obispo County region. This
includes Bike and Walk to School Days, Bike Month, and has a contract with Bike SLO County
to bring bike education and bike rodeos to local schools. Other partners in SRTS efforts include
County Public Health, Bike SLO County, local PTAs, and others.
Current SRTS Efforts
Given the current financial outlook for the next budget (FY 2025-2027), staff did not recommend
beginning any new projects at the ATC’s Budget Goal Setting Meeting (held November 21,
2024) but to prioritize the completion of three major infrastructure projects that the City has
already initiated and obligated itself to complete, namely the Complete Streets projects on
Foothill Blvd, Higuera, and South Broad Streets. The ATC concurred with the staff’s
recommendation in its recommended goals for the upcoming budget (see Attachment 1). It is
important to note that the two latter projects have grant obligations which the City must prioritize
to complete on time in order to not lose the funding. These include a State Active Transportation
Program grant for the Higuera Complete Streets Project for $6.9 million and a Federal Safe
Streets for All (SS4A) grant for $400,000 for the South Broad Complete Streets Project.
Therefore, no new formal SRTS plans for individual schools are proposed in the upcoming
budget, however there are opportunities to still include improvements in the upcoming budget.
Current SRTS efforts include monitoring the pilot project on Grand Ave which have included
striping and crosswalk improvements near Teach Elementary School. In addition, the proposed
Capital Improvement Plan for the 2025-27 Budget includes opportunities to add SRTS
improvements for paving of arterials and paving zones planned in the Pavement Management
Plan. Most notably, these pavement areas include South Broad Street and Johnson Ave. and
neighborhood pavement zones which have benefits for Hawthorne and Sinsheimer elementary
schools.
San Luis Obispo High School
In the budget recommendation for the FY 2023-25, the ATC formally recommended initiating a
SRTS plan for San Luis Obispo High School. Unfortunately, the request was not funded in the
FY 2023-35 budget. However, staff is supportive of still looking for opportunities to plan SRTS
Page 15 of 23
improvements around the school within the framework of the upcoming 2025-27 budget. This
would not include initiating a new SRTS plan for the school unless it is funded in the 2025-27
budget but coordinating with engineering staff for opportunities to add improvements when they
arise with the intent to still pursue the high school as the next formal SRTS plan when funding
allows in a future budget. Of all of the public schools in the city, it is the only pavement area that
has not yet been updated since the adoption of the ATP in 2021. Therefore, it poses the most
opportunities to pursue new improvements.
Next Steps
While this is a presentation item, staff would welcome feedback from the committee to help
guide SRTS efforts within the constraints of an upcoming budget that is expected to have more
austerity and prioritize completion of major projects already initiated.
