To follow up, I think what I described is what you were already doing last year.
Goal: Get bike board plan items (those you have selected for the year) integrated into the current work plan of the city.
Maybe an additional step is to ask the city manager how to best do that.
Ask him to come to a meeting?

So I've been thinking about how the interaction "effective implementation of the plan" with the city and council could work best.
Seems like a number of items from the plan could be presented during one visit with council each year that pattern after your normal meeting procedures. "Action items" "who might be responsible" maybe meet with the city manager to pre-integrate the proposed items into the city staffing system.
Then maybe a second visit at the half way point to present progress. Or items that need a push...,
So for instance for the first meeting: a brief report of accomplishments over the last year, all of your checked off action items, followed by a list of (action) items we need to work on together over the next year. Get council to renew its commitment to our shared bicycle plan. Get the plan again into the public eye.
Then maybe your engineering staff liaison can report on city progress for those items at your regular meetings.
And you can offer up new items as they come up including grant ideas and events.
Anyway early morning thoughts. Thank you for all that you do!!!!!'

Thank you all that showed up for the meeting this evening.
Sorry it went a bit long, so long that poor Traci's iPad ran out of juice... I think the meeting was productive and I hope you thought so, and thanks for making it so.
It sure was nice being able to check-off one of the on-going projects, Keeping Positive Spin Open. Yay for that group on a job well done! And it's nice to hear that we are making headway on some of the others as well.
Okay I'm getting tired now, but before I go I'd also like to thank Jennie Selin for coming tonight, quite possibly at the meeting that we needed her most. It's nice to have a caring ally.
Hopefully Traci's iBox makes a full recovery and she'll be able to send me/us our action items as soon as possible so I/we can start making some headway for next month.
Thanks again, sleep tight.
