Karen wanted a list of mayors who signed a proposed bicycling resolution at a Mayor’s Conference in June 2008.
Morning John,
I don’t know if you’re the person I need to ask this of or not, so please bear w/ me. Can you tell me how I can find out the names of the mayor’s who signed the resolution at the recent mayor’s conference? I provided a copy of the resolution to Omaha’s mayor (Mike Fahey) and
suspect that he signed it, but would like to know for sure. And since I work w/ several towns/cities in the midwest, I’d like to know which mayor’s are supportive. Thank you.

Subject: US Conference of Mayors – Proposed Bicycling Resolution
Thanks to everyone that asked their mayor to sign on in support of the resolution. We ended up with
a great list of co-sponsors to give support to Chris Koos (Mayor of Normal, Ill.). The resolution sailed through the Transportation Committee and the Children, Health and Human Services Committee and the Mayors adopted this and a bunch of other resolutions en masse on Monday morning. Other Mayors may have signed on as co-sponsors during the meeting – I had dinner with the Mayor of Syracuse, NY, Sunday evening and he was determined to be on the list before it was too late!
