<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We had a short committee day today. Just conservation and
A&F.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In conservation we voted to put Nancy Wilson on the Greenhouse
Gas and Energy Conservation Team as the representative from the transportation
community. I don’t remember what her title is but she works for
transportation issues for ASUM. She helped in setting up the various park and
rides and the current bus programs at the U. She spoke of how there is
much low hanging fruit for conservation efforts to be found in transportation.
She also talked about how a lot of people don’t connect with global
warming, the environment, and saving the planet for future generations. But
they do understand that it is costing a fortune to keep filling their tank. The
economics of conservation are ultimately where we can make the most progress.
As an outspoken member of the conspiracy I had some doubts about how the vote
would go but her application was approved by everyone but Dick. Lynn, John H.
and Stacy were absent.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In A&F we approved the taxing for the downtown business
improvement district. We also approved a three year contract for union Park’s
employees. As with most things that deal was already done before we heard about
it. For a number of reasons it’s probably best we stay out of such things
but it pushes my relevancy button when it comes before us for a rubber stamp. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>That was about it for committees. More next week.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your interest,<o:p></o:p></p>
