Hello Board!

You're among the first emails I'm sending from my new city email address - today was the first day of my new job as our city's Staff Engineer. Hurrah! As you'll read in the minutes from December and as I alluded to in my December meeting email, taking on this job necessitated a change in my relationship to the board. I will remain on the board as the city's representative and I will champion all our existing and future projects.

Going forward, I would appreciate if you could send your bike board related emails to this new address: jgatlin@morgantownwv.gov

For January, Chip and I's suggested agenda for Thursday is as follows:

6:30-7:30: Introductions, ripe bananas, and board membership recruiting / advertisement discussion

7:30-8:00: WVU Center for Service Learning & Community Outreach student utilization (we have begun a relationship with a multidisciplinary student group to assist us this Spring)

8:00-8:30: MMMPO Bike/Ped Plan updates

Please find a draft of December minutes attached and edit / suggest changes as you see fit. Many thanks to our outstanding (and unfortunately departing!) secretary Brian Leary for putting these together.

Best,

Drew
