He reported that the meeting was not well organized and that it failed to provide a viable reason for adding Copper from Monroe to San Mateo to the “Bicycle Boulevard”, considering the increased motor vehicle traffic caused by the ART project on Central.

12. HBANA IRS/Bylaws: Clark briefly reviewed the current IRS revocation of the HBANA tax-exempt status and requested that in order to show the IRS that attempts were being made to prevent the non-submission of the yearly Form 990, he made a motion to create a specific bylaw directing the board to ensure this form was submitted on time annually. This bylaw would require that, during the yearly March meeting, the board would review and ensure submission of form 990N. 2nd by Rob, approved. (Follow-up at next meeting)
