Discussion of the survey results : The committee discussed at length how to address the concerns and questions about the raw data collect by Drew. We agreed to write a email before May 1st to Drew with questions. Ellen volunteered to draft and send email.

See draft Below:

Hi Drew,

Our committee met on Tuesday, 4/24, and discussed the raw data you shared with us. We have some questions that you may well be answered when you send up the final draft on May 1st. However, well think that sharing these questions with you prior to May 1st may help us to have a clearer understanding of what we can expect in the draft. Below are some questions and concerns:

- What is the methodology for taking the raw data and translating it into a cohesive narrative that is reader friendly?

- The drop box spread sheet is confusing. Can you provide a brief explanation of how the information on the spread sheet will be used so we can have a clear direction on how to move forward. Please explain the Colorado addresses.

- Do the bar graphs include the public workshop boards?

- On page 19 can you explain what 'Neutral" means in relation to "neutral sense toward ADA accessible paths." Does this indicate interest for the activity?

- "40 Zipcodes" ..is this accurate?

- Seems like we missed our younger population. Is this fairly typical?

Committee decided to push wetlands discussion to June meeting and devote May’s meeting to the Survey draft discussion.
