Lead: Helen Sizemore - Kayla

The IMDC Community Forum Ad Hoc Committee 's goals are:

• Develop the monthly Community Forum program for whole year
• Critical issues, knowledgeable speakers, informative data

• Elected Board members
• Publish Forum Program, announce each meeting,  Highlight the Jukebox
• !!!! Can we get one or both of our US Senators??? That would be a big deal

Ideas Kayla had for meetings:

 1. Homelessness in our area - [March but could schedule another in summer some time.]

 2. Update on pot issues - [Feb]

 3. Chat with Kendall (name of sheriff, right?) [Maybe get input on law enf. and homeless]

 4. Urban renewal: conversations with new store owners and how that's going [recruit one for CoC]

 5. Water storage and - [seems like water issues have been overcome by events - at least for now]

 6. chemicals in rivers: how clean is our water?

 7. Do we need more trees planted to replace all of those cut? Do we have a plan?

  8. Are we ready for Electric Cars? - See petition going around on where to place charging stations. Is that only in Ukiah?

 9 - 12. Town hall meeting with our local electeds - Mayors, multiple panelists (e.g., Ukiah City Council, BoS Dist 1,  2, 4, & 5)
