Cody: I’ve been looking over the goals to finalize the goals.
Tracy: Explains rules on a working document and how they can work on something.
Cody: We have 5 goals we are working on, we will have objectives under each goal and strategic plans
under each objective.
The group discusses their goals and objectives.
Charlie: Mentions a friend that their community offers tokens for riding public transportation and tokens
can be saved to earn vouchers for a meal at a local restaurant.
Charlie: How far does our authority extend?
Cody: This document, if polished, takes us to the next step of having authority. Right now we have no
teeth but are working towards it.
Torre: You don’t want to be specific, you want to encourage the alternatives. Light rail is a discussion
has been going on for 35 years and got quashed. You may want to say Light rail is a great thing but
taking it on as your cause may be a waste of time. You are representing a younger demographic, are
they on board with this. Are you representing a demographic desire, not just yours. Your friends in
Carbondale etc, are they into public transportation or if not what would get them on mass transit. If you
guys could meeting in person it would be a very productive meeting.
Group is discussing if their board can be an unofficial board so they can meet without all the rules and
regulations of being an official board. I recommended they speak with Kate Johnson.
The group changed the meeting day to the first Wednesday of every month at 2.
The goals they set:
1. Improve Accessibility
2. Local participation & citizen feedback
3. Environmental Stewardship
4. Affordability and Cost of living
5. Economic resiliency
The group talked about next week’s agenda items and a potential community gathering.
