Mr. David Torgler reminded the CDA of the Focus Group Meeting that will be held on Thursday, February 03, 2005 at the Eppers Room located at the Racine County Service Center. The purpose of the meeting is to receive public input into the two-way street conversion. Prior meetings have not been well attended and it was hopeful this upcoming meeting would not be more of the same. Mayor Claude Lois stated that the city is addressing two of the more dangerous intersections in the city and that this was the best time to also look at returning to two-way streets.

Mr. David Torgler suggested that the CDA may want to consider changing their regular meeting date to align with the council meetings. It will be researched to see how this change could be made in reference to the by-laws of the CDA.

Mr. Jim Peterson made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Mayor Lois seconded the motion and with all in favor the meeting adjourned at 6:12 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
