As reported on the Miami Herald, the BAC was founded in 2008 by Chairman Richard Cahlin.lts membership is inclusive of business owners, cyclists, and municipalities such as the City of Miami, City of Coral Gables, and the Village of Pinecrest. These participating municipalities have authorized the use of their cities' logo which allows the BAC to manufacture cycling outfits with the participating jurisdiction's brand. In turn, the outfits are sold to cyclers to raise funds for bicycling initiatives in each of the cities. As such, Commissioner Weithorn would like for the Finance Committee consider a resolution to be drafted by the City Attorney's Office for recommendation to the City Commission, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a licensing agreement with Mr. Cahlin and the BAC to use the City of Miami Beach brand on bicycle clothing to be sold strictly on a not-for-profit basis to raise money for public (city-sponsored or city-approved) bicycling initiatives within the City.

Valdes The Miami Herald Creator of the Bicycle Action Committee, Richard Cahlin, designs and sells road-bike jerseys to raise funds for bike safety initiatives throughout Miami-Dade County. Above is the Village of Pinecrest jersey Cahlin will present before the Village Council on July 16. The future of Pinecrest is looking more bicycle and pedestrian friendly. The Village Council recently approved a $32,000 bicycle and pedestrian mobility plan grant from the Miami-Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization to help fund a study that will analyze how to better connect the village's eastern residential area to its three-mile U.S. 1 corridor. The study stems from the Village Council's 2012 vision plan that proposed to beautify and improve Pinecrest's U.S. 1 corridor by adding sidewalks, new and wider bike lanes, bike racks, and possible shower and changing facilities behind commercial outlets on the corridor. "This will allow residents to go between properties without having to go to U.S. 1 ,"said Village Manager Yocelyn Galiano Gomez, who added the plan promotes an interactive community because residents will be able to safely walk and bike to the corridor instead of drive. Galiano Gomez said the lack of bike and pedestrian routes in the village is one reason there is so much traffic on the corridor. The Village Council must match 20 percent of the grant, which is $8,000, to pay for the $40,000 study. A consultant has not been chosen and there are no exact dates for the study to commence, but Galiano Gomez said Pinecrest has a strong biking community, so this plan is vital. Richard Cahlin, a former Pinecrest resident who now lives in Coconut Grove, agrees. "Any road biker has heard of someone who has fallen, gotten hit or died," said Cahlin, a certified public accountant who road-bikes as a hobby and created the Bicycle Action Committee (BAC) in 2008 to promote bicycle safety throughout Miami-Dade County. http://www.miamiherald.com/20 13/06/27/v-print/346975 9/pinecrest-oks-grant-for-green.ht... 6/27/2013 10 Pinecrest OKs grant for green transit study-06/27/2013 I MiamiHerald.com Page 2 of2 The BAC, made up of business owners, city representatives and cyclists, has previously partnered with Miami and Coral Gables by adopting the cities' logos, manufacturing cycling outfits with the cities' logos on them, and then selling them to cyclers to raise money for bicycling initiatives in each of the cities. The BAC was able to fund a mountain bike trail in Virginia Key for the city of Miami and bike racks for Coral Gables. Cahlin, who works for Mallah Furman in Brickell, receives donations from his firm, colleagues and friends to help pay for the outfits, which BAC sells for $75 (top and bottom). Now Cahlin has asked Pinecrest's Village Council members to join his efforts, and they agreed. "It's complimentary to what we are trying to do," said Galiano Gomez. Cahlin will present the outfits he designed for Pinecrest at the next Village Council meeting on July 16 at 6 p.m. "It's a road paved with bureaucrats that all have good intentions," Cahlin said about his reasons to fundraise for bike initiatives. "More and more people are electing to bike for health, eco and money reasons. The awareness that this creates is important for anybody on the road." © 2013 Miami Herald Media Company.

The following draft language expresses the general intent, but will need to be further revised by the City Attorney's Office for consideration at the Land Use Committee. "To improve the compatibility of future Alton Road develogment with historic buildings and pedestrian environments, shall limited transfers of development rights be permitted onh:: from the Alton Road Historic District Buffer to the Alton Road Parking Overlay as defined by ordinance, allowing no more than .5 floor area ratio change for any such donor and recipient properties; provided that recipient properties must meet additional planning and design criteria for transfers including improved pedestrian environment?" This item is of a time sensitive nature as it must obtain Land Use approval prior to re- consideration ofthe Alton Road ordinances, and to allow the item to go forward on the ballot in a timely way if all conditions are met. The ballot question has been discussed in meetings with representatives of affected neighborhoods (including Flamingo Park and West Avenue), affected property owners, City staff, and civic groups (Miami Design Preservation League and Miami Beach United). All of the interested parties and organizations would have to agree to the public benefits of the item if it is to move forward. Thank you.
