With a quorum of the board, Lucia Brown was approved as an At-Large board member

Steve, Bibi, Bonita, Ian & John voted in favor, no opposition

JJ reports that INC has strong membership for 2016. He wants INC to follow established decision-making processes and wants to empower other RNOs and teach them about city issues. Would also like to increase lines of communication between/with RNOs and with the city.

Review of the Board of Directors

JJ reviewed unfilled positions and nominated Lucia for At-Large, approved by delegation

Also called for volunteers for communications, budget, and membership chairs

Reiterated that any RNO member may join a committee, as well

JJ would like to provide a directory of members to the membership for the purposes of helping RNOs learn from each other and join forces when appropriate

Concern was raised over making such contact information available publicly. It was suggested to use a PDF. Issue was tabled until a study can be completed and recommendations made.

Review of INC 2015 RNO survey

Survey is important, allows us to determine how we can best serve our membership

Primary concerns of RNOs are traffic & parking, safety, zoning, liquor & marijuana, code violations

Primary ongoing concerns are parking, zoning, homelessness, and crime

Best communications options are emails, then committees, then delegate meetings. Website not as important

JJ would like to do another survey by September

March meeting minutes were approved
