They want to work with Tim Scott on social media - networking presence on the web. The Snow Shoveling Ordinance was passed. The Urban Chicken Ordinance was passed but not final — need input on it as it will be passed in a month. Gavin Ferlic apologized for the delay in completing the Student survey — there is funding for I -Pads but still no response from Bethel or Holy Cross. Notre Dame students are working on finalizing the survey. There are proposed new rules for "Bike Michiana" to continue to promote a bike friendly community and maybe get involved in some legislation in this area. Jeff Jones whole - heartedly agreed as there have been some tragedies and the community is becoming more bike friendly and encouraging — particularly around Riverside. Captain Hammer put in that Officers have worked on bike safety and there is sensitivity to any type of action. Becoming more aware is the key to safety. Ann -Carol Nash stated the legislative effort of this group needs to be clarified. There is a real need to view the community as bike friendly — particularly downtown. Captain Hammer pointed out a cyclist has the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. There was a Motion made for support of Bike Legislative efforts that passed. Council Member Ferlic thanked everyone for attending. The next meeting was tentatively set for March 20, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. at the new Downtown Sub Station.
