DISCUSSION
The Committee was formed by the City Council at the March 12, 2013 City Council Meeting.
The Committee's purpose is to review and provide input, guidance, and a public forum for
the preparation of the City's Bicycle Master Plan. At the same meeting, the City Council
established a Council Ad -Hoc Appointments Committee consisting of Mayor Pro Tem Rush
Hill, Council Member Nancy Gardner, and Council Member Edward Selich.
The City Clerk posted the initial Notice of Vacancies in the City Clerk's Office, the Central
Library, the City Hall bulletin board, and on the City's webpage on Wednesday,
March 13, 2013; and published the notice in the Daily Pilot on Saturday, March 16, 2013.
The initial deadline to submit applications was Wednesday, April 3, 2013. For the seven
vacancies, only four applications were received by this deadline.
At the April 9, 2013 City Council meeting, the City Clerk was directed to
re- advertise for the vacancies so that more applications may be received. On Wednesday,
April 10, 2013, a second Notice of Vacancies was posted in the City Clerk's Office, the
Central Library, and on the City's webpage; and posted on the City Hall bulletin board on
Thursday, April 11, 2013. The Notice of Vacancies was published in the Daily Pilot on
Saturday, April 13, 2013, with an application deadline of Friday, April 26, 2013, at 1:00 p.m.
To date, the City has received eleven applications for the Committee; however one
applicant has withdrawn his application for consideration at this time.

The Committee is comprised of seven members with background and experience in casual,
recreational, and commuter bicycling. The members are appointed by the City Council,
pursuant to City Council Policy A -2, and serve on the Committee for the duration of the

as the Chairperson for the Committee. The City Council confirmed Mayor Keith Curry's
appointment of Council Member Tony Petros as the Chairperson at the March 12, 2013 City
Council meeting. The Committee is subject to the open meeting laws of the Ralph M.
Brown Act.
Since ten applications are being forwarded for consideration, staff is recommending that the

applications for each vacant seat. All other provisions of City Council Policy A -2 have been
complied with.

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appropriate to the position for which you are applying.
I am a proud resident of Newport Beach who has appreciated the opportunity to serve the City through my roles on EQAQ and most
recently on the Bicycle Safety Committee. In particular, my experience on the Bicycle Safety Committee has been especially rewarding,
working on projects including sharrows in Corona Del Mar, bicycle route mapping, signage and education, and the Committee's annual
report. This experience has allowed me to become well- versed and active in bicycle safety issues and to develop relationships with City
leaders as we work together to improve bicycle safety citywide. My experience and relationships will be invaluable in helping the City to
develop its Bicycle Master Plan.
As an experienced cyclist who rides regularly throughout Newport Beach and other communities, I am well qualified for this role. I am
thoroughly familiar with City bicycle paths and the potential hazards cyclists face. My cycling team —the 24 Hour Fitness Charity Team
which raises funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and rides weekly throughout Orange County — named me its Most
Inspirational Cyclist in 2011. As a land use attorney, I am also realistic about the scope of what a Bicycle Master Plan can achieve, and I
will work hard to balance competing interests and perspectives.
I look forward to contributing my cycling, civic and legal experience as well as my love of Newport Beach to this new committee.
I certify that all statements made on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I have read and understand the

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appropriate to the position for which you are applying.
I wish to serve on the BMPOC in order to help the City attain its stated objective to plan, design, and construct cycling improvements,
create a comprehensive bicycle network and promulgate bicycle - friendly policy, education and outreach. I am specifically qualified as a
daily commuting cyclist (both for my own work and escorting my 4th grader to school by bicycle) and also as a recreational cyclist (three
weeks ago I rode 200+ miles on Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo to Santa Monica on a Mondayfruesday "vacation "). On an almost daily
basis, I use my bicycle around Newport Beach to run errands. Today I bicycled to pick up groceries for the evening dinner, in my bike
basket, at Pavilions in Newport Coast. And I am a former elite competitive cyclist who is raising a future bike - racer. But I also "get" the
"car" issue. My wife and I own 4 cars (1) and drive 300 -400 miles a week. I know what it is like to drive a car when there are bicycles on the
road with me. In each of these transport mediums I am aware of practical improvements the City can make to enhance the safety and
access of cyclists, and make a better transport system for all. With my experience, both as a cyclist and a motorist, I will be able to "test -
pilot" any proposed changes and provide concise feedback. I am keenly aware of the City's most pressing bicycle issues, having attended
almost all Bicycle Safety Committee meetings since 2010.1 draw on a wealth of bicycle transportation oriented friends and connections,
locally and in other California cities (some with bicycle master plans), whom I can consult for ideas and insight. And as a Director of the
Orange County Bicycle Coalition I can rely on the combined strength and experience of the rest of its Board of Directors and members.
Finally, as a lawyer I am used to the kind of review and analysis that may be asked of the Committee.
certify that all statements made on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I have read and understand the

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appropriate to the position for which you are applying.
I would like to continue our work started as part of the previous Newport Beach Bicycle Safety Committee during the past year. We have
successfully completed several project that will help improve bicycle safety in the community. The development of a complete Bicycle
Master Plan will help guide the City in doing those improvements that will beneifit the entire community including cyclists, pedestrians
and the general motoring public.
My 40 -years experience as a professional traffic engineer will help support the committee with a firm technical understanding on what is
required for a complete Bicycle Master Plan. Also, I am an avid bicyclist whorides throughout Orange County including within the City of
Newport Beach. This hands on experience will help to provide valuable information to the committee as it develops the planned Master
Plan.
During the past year working with the Newport Beach PD we have identified Bicycle Collision Hotspots which we can focus on as we
prepare the Master Plan and specific improvements to the system in Newport Beach. I have work effectively with City Staff in coming up
with specific solutions that can be implemented to help improve Safety in the City. I look forward to my continued involvement in this

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appropriate to the position for which you are applying.
Boardwalk beach - cruiser rider? That's me. The guy riding to the market or library or post office to run errands? Yes, that's me too. The
guy who commutes rain or shine, day or night without exception? Me again. The guy in lycra riding fast with a group on a Saturday
morning? You guessed that's me too.
It's easy to lump cyclists in to groups depending on the clothes they are wearing or the type of bike they are riding. This is unfortunate,
since all cyclists need the same things - equal rights as road users, safe road and bicycle facilities, education for cyclists on how to ride
safely and for motorist on how to drive around cyclists, encouragement from public and private agencies, and evaluation by the city to
see what is working and what is not.
Because of myfamiliarity with all types of cycling on the full range of facilities in Newport Beach I believe I am uniquely qualified to assist
the Bike Master Plan Oversight Committee. As a League Certified Cycling Instructor, I along with my wife Stacy will be teaching the first
'Traffic Skills 101 "course offered in Newport Beach. I am on the board of directors of the Orange County Wheelmen. Last year I rode
10,000 miles, the majority of those ride started, ended, or went through Newport Beach. I am familiar with what works and what does
not work for cyclists in our city. I want to help the city make cycling safer for all types of cyclists.

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appropriate to the position for which you are applying.
I served on both the City's original Task Force on Cycling Safety and the Bicycle Safety Committee. In those roles, I was a vocal advocate
for the installation of sharrows through Corona del Mar, appearing at multiple civic organizations to explain their necessity and function.
I was also part of the Bicycle Safety Subcommittee charged with drafting the initial scope of work for the Bicycle Master Plan. Working
together with two other Committee members, we thought hard about what form such a plan should take and what its goals should be.
am proud of the scope that we developed, and even more proud that it became the foundation for this new Oversight committee. I very
much want to be part of the conversation as this Master Plan becomes a reality.
I will also note that, about a month ago, I joined the long list of cyclists who have been hit by cars. Although (thankfully) I escaped
relatively unharmed, the experience strengthened my resolve to do whatever I can to ensure that Newport Beach is safe for cyclists of all
abilities. In the last four years, Newport has become a leader in cycling safety and I believe that the Master Plan is our chance to
demonstrate, in a very real way, our city's long -term commitment to cycling safety.

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appropriate to the position for which you are applying.
I have previously served on the Task Force and the Bike Safety Committee; I am committed to improving safety in Newport Beach.
In addition to contributing locally, I travel the world investigating bike safety infrastructure and interviewing world leaders in advocacy.
For example, in November 20121 spent 8 days in the Netherlands exploring their transportation networks and interviewing local
advocates.
More recently I sponsored the National Women's Bicycling Forum in Washington, D.C. where over 375 attendees gathered to learn the
latest best practices in advocacy. Next month I am sponsoring an international bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Closer to home, I contributed $10,700 to the Bicycle Safety Improvement Fund, to which then Mayor Gardner said, "You're putting your
money where your mouth is." I blog about bike safety on my personal site, cdmCyclist, and I founded bikeNewportBeach.org which
aggregates the stories of several local bike advocates.
I will commit the time and energy to make the maximum contribution possible to the Committee

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications

I like riding my bike. In the old days, on a good day I could ride to San Diego. I bike - commuted to work when my car was in 1
shop, working my way up to the Santa Ana courthouse. Each of the Ronaldson family has ber efitted from Hoag's good care
after a bike mishap.
Now its Back Bay and to the grocery. The bike plus OCTA makes having one car feasible.
But riding around here is tough. For many, city streets are off limits for riding due to fear of death. My aging friends fear driving
where cyclists ride.
Maybe I can contribute to improvement. What would I bring to the committee? Pick me if you want someone who questions
authority and is experienced at analyzing facts and proposing solutions.
