The minutes of the October meeting were approved.

Public Access

Pat reported that the Non-Motorized Transportation Board has begun the process of ordering its priorities for sidewalk improvements which will become a part of the long-awaited Non-Motorized Plan Update. Many of the reordered priorities reflect the Board’s recognition of the importance of usable sidewalks and curb cuts in the Downtown area and new sidewalk construction leading to the Post Office and along Sheridan Street as examples.

Treasury/Fundraising

Current fund balance $2275.44.
