Committee Elections
Scott nominated Dan, Dotie nominated Donnell. Dan would like to continue as the Chair, Donnell would like to focus on improving neighborhood signs, improving pedestrian access, pedestrian lighting, and access for all modes of transportation. Would like to work with all of the Committees to make things happen.
Patty: how do you plan on increasing participation in meetings?
Dan: always on foot, engages people and invites people to the meetings. Night meetings in person has not always drawn people, always been tricky bringing people to Committee meetings. Dan has found that communication beyond social media is engaging people individually.
Donnell: proposes going person to person and also community association to community association to get people involved and get people excited about how to get involved and what to do.
