      • Jenn has canvassed interested parties for a 30-minute meeting with ADBIA next week.
      • I sense a concern about who will fund the event - Jenn says she is willing to contribute $12,00 but doesn't have the money in her budget.
      • It seems likely to me that the event will be postponed until next spring.
    • Lack of bike racks in Ambleside parks
      • In response to the photo of 23 bikes strewn over the lawn in John Lawson Park, Jenn said that there was a 2020 plan for bike racks in the parks but it didn't happen due to COVID-19.
