The committees involved are as follows: Cambridge Trails Advisory Committee Kitchener Cycling and Trails Advisory Committee Region of Waterloo Active Transportation Advisory Committee Waterloo Advisory Committee on Active Transportation By arranging a meeting with representatives of each advisory committee in attendance, there will be opportunities to discuss common goals and solutions to current issues. Discussion should begin on the logistics of how this meeting will be arranged. The City of Waterloo has already brought this item forward to their committee and they have seen a benefit to having this meeting. Expectations of Committee Committee members are asked to consider logistics of this meeting and propose days of the week and time of day, for the joint meeting to occur. Committee members are also asked to consider location, as it can vary between the 4 committees. Some early topic ideas suggested from The City of Waterloo include tourism opportunities and identifying long term goals that are multi-jurisdictional. The City of Waterloo has also provided their preferred times, which we be displayed during the meeting. Kitchener Cycling and Trails Advisory Committee February 13, 2018 Date: February 2, 2018 To: Kitchener Cycling and Trails Advisory Committee From: Kitchener City Staff cc: Subject: KCTAC Scope Overview At the last committee meeting in January, discussions occurred around how in depth members want to change the terms of reference. Further to that, staff was unsure of what requirements were needed in order to make the changes. Since the January meeting, it has been advised that any change to the terms of reference or name of the committee will need to be presented and approved by Council. Expectations of Committee Prior to the meeting, committee members should be familiar with the current terms of reference. During this meeting, members should identify changes they would like to see to the name and/or terms of reference. Staff can take those changes and begin amending the terms of conditions, in hopes of presenting a report to Council during the summer of 2018.
