Chair Gerety drafted a letter in which he attempted to incorporate the member's

comments as he read the letter out loud. The following are the comments/changes
the board agreed on:

Exclamation point after the last sentence in the 3rd paragraph.
4th paragraph, 2nd line, last word, change from "of to "in".
5th paragraph, 5th line, delete 2nd "have".
6th paragraph, there were numerous Wordsmithing changes concerning the
distance for transit. After much discussion, it was agreed that Chair Gerety would
reword it using the Board's comments.
A recommendation will be stated at the beginning of the letter.
8th paragraph, there was a discussion on the wording concerning neighborhoods
and income levels. It was agreed to say "We feel all neighborhoods should contain
a full mix of housing types and income levels".
9th paragraph, last word, remove the word "radius" and replace with "across".
10th paragraph - no changes.
After much discussion, the Board agreed to make a recommendation to the City
Council to approve the proposed amendments as a stopgap measure with a "red
flag" statement accompanying it.
There was a motion and a second to approve the letter with the changes discussed.
The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Chair Gerety will finalize the letter, fax a
copy to Rick, and Cindy will retype on letterhead for Gerety's signature.
This item is going to Council on April 27. Council Member Smith suggested that a
member of the Transportation Board be present at that meeting.

members to comment on the Vision Statement. After a discussion, it was agreed

addressed in inter -regional issues. The board also suggested that putting these
in bullet form would make it stand out more.
