WHEEL TAX
This item was moved up on the agenda in deference to the City Attorney who was present to speak on
this. Bob Poeschl then noted that the member who had requested this item was not present and moved to
lay the item over to the February meeting. Margy Davey seconded the motion, which passed
unanimously. Shortly after that vote, the member in question arrived and Bob Poeschl made a motion to
reconsider laying the item over. That motion failed for lack of a second.
SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
Community Education and Outreach
Justin Mitchell reported the committee did not meet in December, but work continued on the Web Page.
He distributed examples of what had been done. During the ensuing discussion the question of posting
members personal email addressed on the web page. Staff will follow up on that with the City Attorney.
Justin asked subcommittee members to complete the work they agreed to do and return it to him so the
site could be launched in February. He plans to present the web site live to the Board at the February
meeting. Board members thanked Justin for his efforts.

The Committee did not meet.
