John Martin explained three says to act on our priorities:

·     
Legislative – Something to ask City Council, the
Board of County Commissioners, some agency, etc.

·     
Informational – Something worth having
presentations to INC on

·     
Committee work – Something we need to form a
committee to study

 

It was noted that we already have internal commitments to do
a Candidate Forum in the fall and some kind of multi-neighborhood party.
