The following group <strong>of</strong> people gave generously <strong>of</strong> their time, attending regular meetings, doing research, and<br />
representing their neighborhoods during the year-long planning process to create this plan. They have<br />
proven themselves as leaders and we hope most will stay involved to work with the <strong>City</strong> and County staff to<br />
ensure that the action items are accomplished.<br />
