Members Present: Chairs Pat O'Dell and Steve Withers, Randy Barna, Sarah Schra, Becky O'Dell, Pamela Withers, Kristin Roisen, John Stensland, Mike Guyer. Guest Phil Strom.

Topic #1: Moving Summit View Dr. - the current alignment is in the middle of a slope and the road would necessitate putting in a 12' retaining wall on both sides. The option is to move it to a flatter area with property being sold between adjoining land owners to off-set the property loss between the two. The group agreed that moving Summit View would be in the best interest of the neighbors, would limit water run off, and limit safety issues.

Topic #2: I-5/Kuebler Interchange - members were intrigued by the presentation and it changed a lot of minds. The divergent diamonds are worth further study. We think that an independent study/modeling would be a good idea. The action here will be to follow up with Jerry Wolcott of ODOT and to send a letter in support of additional consideration

Topic #3: Third bridge - we have reviewed and support the construction of a third bridge. Pat will put together a letter for approval by the whole board.
