discussed. The October 2, 2007 community meeting and the purpose of the associated traffic survey and daily routine
is questionable. Motion was made by Aaron Goodman and seconded by Michele Miller that we respond in writing to

14, 2007 and we now have petitions with 57 signatures that need to be presented at that time. A CEQA (California
Environmental Quality Act) lawyer has been contacted with regard to representing us. The lawyer is researching the
case to determine if she will accept it. Aaron moved that we proceed on this. Seconded by Jean Moore-Woods. This
will be presented at the Oct 20, 2007 General Membership Meeting for approval by all members. The motion was
amended for consideration to send a lawyer or two PRO officers to the CSU Trustee meeting with the possibility of PRO
paying at least some of the expenses. Vote was 8 yes, 1 no. Motion passed.

by Phillips. Passed unanimously.
