6. a. BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
Thordarson: Denver Post Article.
Johnson: Tree damage. Still feels that the tree damage on Lemay is not due to the
hot in -place paving operation. Would like someone to make sure that it
isn't from any of the de-icing materials used by the Streets Department.
Gould: Regional Transportation Tax. Heard that there is a discussion going on
with the North Front Range Council regarding this topic. Perhaps this
should be a future Transportation Board agenda item.
