CHANGES TO BYLAWS Mark clarified his edits to the City's Bylaws template.

Facilitator will be referred to as Chair; Recorder will be referred to as Secretary. The Board made some substantive changes to the Bylaws. Copy is attached. [GET FROM MARK] Mark will pass current version along to Meredith and we will have her changes at next meeting and make a final vote to approve. When we meet with City Council in April, we can make mention to Council that we have updated our Bylaws and would like to change our name. VII. JOHN BREAUX CLEANUP DAY Suggested activities included pick a street to participate as a group in overall cleanup activity. Mark said Highway 42 needs to be picked up. Mark, Andy, Arno, Robin are available. Mary Ann will be out of town. We will do the west side from south Boulder Road to Pine Street. If we have additional time, we will do the east side as well. Tom Phare said, "we may need formal permission from CDOT". Mark will check with Meredith and will let board members know via email. Mark will get information on time, place to meet up, and what we need to bring. VIII. DISCUSS MEMBERS' LONG AND SHORT TERM GOALS Mary Ann handed out a one-page document that summarized her own goals and the goals she received from citizens. She will incorporate goals provided by other members and citizens they have contacted. She suggested that we create a vision statement first. Identify timeframe for short term goals and for long term goals. A discussion about the content of the Vision/Mission/Goal statement ensued. It was decided that members would consider the items offered and create the final Vision/Mission/Goal statement at a special meeting to be held on April 17. It was suggested that short term goals be for more than one year and long term goals be longer than members' four year terms, but no final decision was made on the length of the short and long term goals. Andy suggested that we set a % of reduction in energy and identify the energy components within the city that will have a large effect. He said we should not to over-regulate, but provide really good guidance on how can we make things work better from lighting systems to mechanical control systems. Dave Szabados has identified all the areas of energy use in existing structures. We should work with Dave to create a baseline and set goals.
