The open house kick-off for Plan BTV 2050 happened on April 30 with much success; between 300- 350 people attended. The Plan BTV 2050 Team will now be looking to focus more on specific stakeholders to do direct outreach within the coming months, and July 8th will move into scenario planning. JAK asks BACA for recommendations for the best way to outreach & engage with the communities we represent here with this group. • Jon to provide information to committee via email, and we can help distribute to our networks. • We will have the plan BTV group present to us at our June meeting. 5. City Capital Budget Updates • AP presents on the capital budget. About a month ago the capital plan report went to council, which is the first report of its kind for the City’s capital budget. That report was linked and provided to the committee, and there is also a map to see where in the City those projects are happening. AP wanted to provide both as a reminder to the committee that they exist. City Council adopts a 5 year capital plan, and each year the needs and timelines are reviewed. Any feedback that this group has is also helpful! i. If there are projects that committee members think should be in the plan that aren’t already, that’s the feedback that will be most useful for AP to share with relevant departments. Page 4 of 6  Sidewalks especially! Feedback welcome any time. Capital plan is a living document and gets updated as needs arise. • If committee members read through and find things they want to highlight, they can send to Nate and Meaghan, and the committee could put together a memo. • Will review in depth at a future meeting. 6. City Department ADA Title II Assessment • Each department has an appointment ADA Title II representative. • The committee will invite the representatives to attend our meetings to speak to what they are doing in their department to adhere to Title II, as well as learn about what the committee is doing and opportunities for collaboration. • The committee will invite the attorney’s office to attend first to help set our own internal assessment, and then move forward with other departments. • The committee would like to use this opportunity to set the expectations of our inclusion with projects – especially clarifying legal minimum vs. what we would actually like to see, and support we are able to offer. • Summer will be busy, so we will look at formally putting a plan in motion in the Fall (aiming for September). 8. Other Committee Business • Committee members compared schedules to ensure we will have quorum during the summer months when vacation and travel plans tend to pick up. • Voting Transportation o Will invite C/T to come September meeting ▪ Ward 7 polling place at the Miller Center to be addressed 9.
