Additional Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The Commission Log serves as a running list of items of interest that the Commission intends to incorporate into future agendas. Commissioners can propose items for inclusion by verbally making the request during “Commission Ideas - Comments and Questions.” When adding an item to the Commission Log, commissioners should provide the following information:
1. Item Title
2. Question to be answered/specific request
3. Commission Duty (which of the 7 identified by City Council)
4. How does it respond to the ATC’s statement on Equity (1 sentence)
The proposed item will be featured in the Commission Log on the Consent Calendar during the subsequent regular meeting, at which the Commission will have the opportunity to approve the addition through a motion.
Should an item necessitate more expediency, a commissioner may take the log off the consent agenda during that item and make it a discussion item. The commissioner may offer an addition for immediate consideration and approval by motion. The motion would need to reflect that it is being approved as revised during the meeting.
Under either scenario, additions to, and approval of, the Commission Log happen during the public meeting in accordance with the Brown Act.

EnvironmentalConsiderations
Environmental Considerations: Under section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA guidelines, a project is exempt from CEQA if it has no potential for causing a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. These actions will have no direct effect on the environment and are therefore exempt from CEQA review.

Background

Statement on Equity
The City of Sacramento’s Active Transportation Commission (ATC) acknowledges the challenges the City faces in providing equitable access to safe and adequate modes of active transportation because of prior, historically sanctioned discriminatory policies.
Equity in Active Transportation means that all people can travel safely and easily in Sacramento, regardless of their geographic location, race, socioeconomic or immigration status, personal identity, or mobility needs.
The ATC is working to achieve equitable access for all our residents by seeking out and incorporating feedback from community members, local groups, and stakeholders. We are striving to go beyond performative measures by utilizing and incorporating this feedback into the ATC decision-making process. By keeping equity at the forefront of our goals and objectives, the ATC will continue to improve the quality of life and provide opportunities for better health to all the people of Sacramento.
