It sounds like Adam and Ken would be the front runners from the TC. Adam may be more helpful with his grad students and work on evaluations and I think our dealings with the planning commision might be limited, making Ken second choice. I think Jenny is very interested in what we do and would be good to get on board in a more official capacity to have the link with city council.

Bicycle Board Members,
In a telecon with me, Wes Nugent declined to be the TC's rep on the BB because he's committed to work on a Mainstreet Morgantown Economic Restructuring committee that also meets Thursday nights albeit somewhat before us but perhaps would sometimes overlap. He suggested Adam Henry from 5th Ward or David McKain from 3rd Ward. At past TC meetings, Adam has expressed both to the TC and personally to me that he is interested in what we're doing. He is a professor at WVU and has graduate students that could really help us out in Evaluation activities. I don't know much about McKain except that he said I was arguing over semantics when I tried to point out to him that riding as far to the right as practicable is not the same as riding as far to the right as possible that he was saying cyclists are required to do. Jim Rye had recommended we ask Ken Martis since Ken represents the Monongalia County Planning Commission on the TC. Ken has also been a vocal supporter of BB recomme
ndations and mission.
Whether we get Adam Henry, David McKain or Ken Martis, that still leaves us with a disconnect from City Council. I know Jenny Selin is on the BB mailing list and I would ask her if she would consider becoming a little more active on the BB as say ex-officio representing City Councilor or even BB voting member representing City Council.
I don't know if this is all appropriate but it seems it might accomplish filling the huge gap left by Don's leaving.
What do you think? If we don't go into next Wednesday TC meeting with a recommendation and a justification for the recommendation, we'll get who they give us.
