F. Action/Discussion Items
1. Guest Speaker: Mayor Carson Taylor
Terry mentions the positive comments she consistently receives in regards
to the work of the BBAB board. Charlotte reiterates the feedback she
receives and the impact moving forward of giving awards.
Carson mentions the importance of community efforts within the city and
the city’s reliance on the work of these community members. He says the
advisory board system is a good system and with over 30 city advisory
boards, they are very impactful around the community. Thanks to the
BBAB board. How do we support these boards economically. He would
like to know what the goals are of the BBAB board and what support it
needs from the city. Where do we go from here?
Discussion from the board takes place. Carson is concerned about the
staffing commitments. The board mentioned the possibility of forming a
subcommittee under the neighborhood association? Connect to INC for
the awards to get additional nominations. Talk to them, attend a meeting,
organize an opportunity to talk about their involvement in the BBAB
award?
The city would like to request less staff time moving forward. The board
feels city support and involvement is important moving forward. The
involvement is important to the cohesiveness of the board. Possibly
quarterly meetings with staff? Maybe Jessica? We’ll look to move forward
with this concept and Chris Kukulski and/or Wendy will keep us updated
about what the city involvement will be.
We’re not dissolved and will continue with current workload unless
otherwise notified. We need to post our meetings through the city. Talk
about next meeting time at INC, discuss expanding reach and
Wendy mentioned also including MSU’s school of architecture.
