Meeting began with @PhilArballo adding an unscheduled moment of silence for Angel Hernandez and other pedestrians killed this month: fresnobee.com/news/local/cri…
A representative from HSR wanted a letter of support for a grant to fund improvements for the area surrounding the future HSR station, he wasn't on the agenda so BPAC couldn't vote before the July 12th deadline.
Semi-annual report, BPAC presenting to council in July, will happen in person at minimum, Phil will be present.
Budget task force report: BPAC is asking PW for public works to do more PSAs with @CMACTV and some sponsorship. Includes a PSA for the California stop to yield bill if it becomes law. 
@CMACTV Included in the total is money for BPAC to sponsor an event. Melanie Ruvalcaba (county) asks if sponsorships is an allowable expense.
Jill Gromley (public works) also says she doesn't know if sponsorships are allowable expenses either.

Public comment:
Tony Molina (County Bike Coalition) Appreciates that BPAC is going to have public comment before the item is voted on. Suggests adding a PD sting operation as an option if sponsorship $ aren't approved.
Phil says they don't know the overtime $.
