_ �.....__..�. ._, <br /> Member opined that while it may be frustrating to work with government, please do not <br /> give up, keep at it, and eventually they will get something because it has worked for <br /> him. <br /> Vice Mayor Gee thanked Council Members Pierce and Bain for their advocacy work for <br /> bicyclists and pedestrians. He also thanked Council Member Foust for serving on the <br /> Transportation Authority Board and Mayor Aguirre for serving on C/CAG (City/County <br /> Association of Governments), and that both are grant-awarding agencies for <br /> transportation. Vice Mayor Gee noted that the Council serves on many committees and <br /> they are aware of what needs to be done. He is satisfied with the General Plan <br /> subcommittee to be pulled in to provide guidance, as it is in his opinion, the best <br /> approach. He complimented Mr. Ekern and his staff on doing a great job. He noted <br /> that this is part of the General Plan and will come up again through the Capital <br /> Improvement Project presentation or grant opportunities. He believes the approach will <br /> be customized for each unique project in terms of strategies, community <br /> engagement/input, and then return to Council for final decisions. <br /> Mayor Aguirre confirmed that there is a commitment to Complete Streets and livable <br /> communities. She expressed her appreciation of the comments tonight and she too <br /> does not support the cookie cutter approach. She supports the General Plan <br /> subcommittee being consulted on some of these issues when needed. <br /> 10. MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST <br /> A.
