Call meeting to Order:
The meeting was called to order by Chairperson, Kai Stuckey at 7:00 pm.
Approval of Minutes:
The minutes from April 1 were amended to say that Barnes and Noble bookstore gives groups a
percentage of book sales and an opportunity to raise more money with cheesecake sales. The minutes as
amended were approved after a motion by Brittany which was seconded by Lisa (6-0).
Agenda Review:
T-shirt purchase was added to the agenda.
Citizen Participation:
The financial part of the Transit Strategic Plan was presented by Nicole Hahn. Recommendations
included the immediate creation of a Regional Transit Provider and increased funding for Phase III
completion from the following sources: maintenance of effort, fares, general sales tax, transit utility fee,
negotiated agreements, and special improvement districts. A regional transit provider would simplify
administration and improve accountability, strengthen regional partnerships and leverage federal and state
funding. It would also allow for shared overhead costs, staffing and facilities.
Chairman's report:
Kai discovered that the open area between McDonalds and FCHS is owned by a developer. Therefore
making a park there is probably not going to happen.
Other business:
1) Work plan — Kai, Brittany and Lisa will present the work plan options to Caroline, Kelsey and
Kinsey. Adoption of the work plan was postponed to June.
2) Youth Recreation update by Steve Budner — The beginning of summer registration for classes
went very well. The number of registrations and total fees both set new records, which is even
more impressive considering the economy.
3) The board decided to submit a letter to City Council endorsing the Transit Strategic Plan. Lisa is
writing a draft of the letter and will send it to the other board members for their comments. The
letter will be finalized at the June meeting.

changed from 7 pm to 5 pm.
5) Music Fest — Posters were given to the new board members for them to distribute at their schools.
The fee for the Music Fest is $3, but if they bring a can of food it is only $2. Set-up will begin at
noon on May 16. Volunteers are needed for admission, concessions, technical aspects, perimeter
and set up/takedown.
6) YAB shirts — Colors and fonts were chosen. Brittany will get the shirts printed, pick them up and
bring them to NACC where members will get them.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
