Jolene Rieck reported on the results of the town hall meeting that was held in October. Anne Cossitt went through the draft neighborhood plan and explained the new formatting and organizational layout. The committee reviewed the draft document that was posted on line on November 24. Not all changes are documented in these meeting notes, but committee discussion will be incorporated into a revised plan scheduled to be distributed on December 8. Generally, the committee wanted to emphasize that Howard and Stuart were priority streets in the plan. The committee also suggested changing the name of the plan to the “Greeley/Racetrack Area Neighborhood Plan.” Some objectives and strategies were changed at the meeting. New strategies included adding street sweeping in the spring to mitigate dust, requesting BSB to implement a complete streets policy, and placing the neighborhood plan on the BSB website. Anne distributed the following schedule, noting that the consultant contract ends at the end of December 2010. ---PAGE BREAK--- www.mmiplanning.com/butte/g1.htm 2 December 8: Revised plan to the steering committee for final review comments.
