6. Business Agenda

6.1. CBG Chair - Seat at the Table

Presenters: Marcellus Anderson
Project: Asking for a seat at the table, getting the opportunity to go in front of city council, when there is a project that concerns us, there needs to be representation from CHAPC there, “at the table”.
- Nam Nguyen: Is their voice (CPC) part of the decision making? Depends on the decisions being made. How can community members voice their opinion, how is that communication going from us to them?
- Russ: CPC works as a central point, the Chairs have the opportunity to take it back to their group and discuss, this means everyone wants a voice, we are giving input to CPC.
- Marcellus to send CPC bylaws
- Paul Jamason: Read in the news that this had already been seen by a council/committee and that there has been time reserved for these matters, the same group said no to this same proposal. The CPC representative will sometimes contradict what the groups/residents want and there is a lack of representation
- Motion: David Nelson approval of the letter to be sent to our councilmembers.
  Second: Jennipher Hager
  Vote: Approved.

6.2. Rapid 215 Improvement Project

Presenters: Kesav Gupta
Project: Finish the Rapid, 215 Route
