President Report
- William requested an update from Duke Energy about the old East End Gas Works site
- In discussion about TIF projects: Carrie Hinde proposed that we bring a red bike station to the rec park at LeBlond. Many felt that the Duke property by Gotham is an opportunity to develop into pickleball courts or a dog park. Steve cautioned that the operating costs could be difficult to fund.
New Business:
- No new business
Adjournment at 8:00
Motion approved and seconded (Tim and Monica)
