Bob Browning called the meeting to order with a quorum and welcomed three new
board members, Jane Phelan, Billie Rosen and David McKelfresh.
2001 WORK PROGRAM
Bob handed out a proposed work program; the items listed in bold are continuing

Kay Rios moved to accept the proposed work program, Isabel 2"d, motion carried
unanimously.

board discussed who should pay for the services required by new development. If the
people requiring these services don't pay for them, then the general public will be
required to pick up the cost in some way. This issue was put on the agenda to see if
the board wanted to look at the issue and develop a recom-mendation for city council.
David Danforth moved to continue to examine the issue, Kay Rios 2"d, motion carried,
one abstaining.
