Martina Guzman curious about people who voted no. Do they still have a say in how the money is disbursed? How does it work if they voted against it? Answer from Goodman: All NAC members are still members and can participate in decisions going forward if choose to do so.

Charles Kosanke says that part of frustration of NAC members is that there are things which are outside the city's jurisdiction. Hear concerns, and some things are in jurisdiction of MDOT, etc. Encourages city to look at the CBO process every 5 years considering the experience of the NACs.

Next commenter agrees with Cockrel that a lot of the language was "squishy" and wants feasibility study for transit. This is a chance to strengthen public transit. This language gives too much opportunity to slip out of strengthening public transit.

Neighbor saying that North Corktown has been ignored as usual. Asking city to provide adequate parking so restaurants can survive, but that was ignored. Why was Bagley added, but not their area? Will fight this in city council to get the area cleaned up and adequate parking so that it can develop.
