1. The minutes from the September 19th meeting were approved during the meeting.
2. It was reported that the Schnuks construction has closed of the Greenway trial. They have
close a large area, which seems excessive. Parks and Recreation was contacted a week ago
and they indicated that they would take care of it.
3. Access across area of Dix connector for the Greenway is an issue. Will there be a culvert or
other safe way across for bicyclists and pedestrians? We need to see what is planned for this
(contact Marty Brose and MODOT District Engineer?).
4. Next get together will be at Roger Randolph’s house for a social (619 Norris). Not an official
meeting – November 7 at 6:30 P.M. Significant others are invited.
5. Betty Walker contacted Wally Rickter (AARP). They were to discuss Greenways, etc.
6. Dana Ray said there is a PTA meeting next week. Mailed out some stuff and she has the
pedestrian-bicycle pamphlets. She would also like to get some ½ cent Sales Tax brochures.
7. Mayor Rackers was on the radio for Walk Your Kids to School Day and put in a plug for the
sales tax and for sidewalks for safety of children.
8. The revised prioritization criteria are finished and ready to try out. The teams are as follows:
1. Roger Randolph, Wallace McMullin and Betty Wallace
2. Mark Hohengasser., Dana Ray, Don Conner
3. Mark Sullivan Don James, Dean Martin
The assigned streets to try out the prioritization sheet are (subject to better note keeping than
Dean did:
Team 1.
West Main to 179
Truman Blvd to the mall
Boonville Road
Team 2.
Tanner Bridge
Ellis
Riverside Drive
Edgewood
Team 3
East McCarty to Scholastic
Riverside Drive
Grant

Report to the Environmental Quality Commission? Bicycle information. Report in the next
couple of months. Dean will draft an outline and begin filling in some of the skeleton.
Next meeting is tentatively scheduled for November 21st but may change due to the proximity to
Thanksgiving (stay tuned).

• Vision – Big picture of what you want to achieve.
• Mission – General statement of how you will achieve the vision.
A companion statement often created with the vision and mission is a statement of core values.
• Core Values – How you will behave during the process.
Once you have identified what your organization wants to achieve (vision) and generally how the
vision will be achieved (mission), the next step is to develop a series of statements specifying
how the mission will be utilized to achieve the vision:
• Strategies – Strategies are one or more ways to use the mission statement in order to achieve the
vision statement. Although an organization will have just one vision statement and one mission
statement, it may have several strategies.
• Goals – These are general statements of what needs to be accomplished to implement a strategy.
• Objectives – Objectives provide specific milestones with a specific timeline for achieving a
goal.
• Action Plans – These are specific implementation plans of how you will achieve an objective.

Requests for Information for Amy/Todd/Mayor Tergin
1. (S)1 Define "healthy" community? This is a fundamental question, as it goes towards defining the
mission, focus, and activities of the Commission.
2. (S) How does EQC collaborate on Public/Private partnerships? What authority? What process?
We don't think that the commission is empowered to commit funds. This might follow along lines of
working on grant proposals and if funded, their execution, but we need clarification.
3. (S) How do we partner with Parks and Recreation? Programming? Future facilities planning? What
authority? The detail and process needs to be specified. Relationships need to be defined.
4. What is the relationship of the EQC to other commissions?
We don't want to be redundant to other commissions' missions. For example, we may focus on
health and environmental issues, but not economic development issues - with the understanding that
economic issues play into our focus areas. We may have an interest in the downtown redevelopment,
but EQC input might be ancillary to other commissions.
5. (S) What kind of community sustainability is desired? What areas? What is the focus or end goal as
it relates to the commission?
6. (S) Who will provide the EQC members training to enable them to recommend principles and
practices to be considered in transportation projects? There is an implication of subject matter
expertise tied to the task, but none exists on the EQC at the present time. The expertise will likely
come from outside of the EQC and staff recommendations will be "run by" the EQC for comment, but
this is different from the EQC making recommendations. This needs to be clarified in terms of intent,
process, roles and responsibilities.
7. What are the metrics to measure our progress? Who establishes the metrics?
This is a general guidance question that hinges on the answers to the questions relating to scope of
the Commission's mission and focus.
8. What is Mayor's vision for the Commission? Is the commission to provide input or is it to develop
objectives, goals, and plans? Could be both, but needs to be defined more clearly.
9. What is the Commission's role in community safety? There may be no direct role, but there may be
many indirect roles. The Commission needs to receive guidance and boundaries on its role in safety
related issues.
1 (S) denotes question relates to a Specified task and (I) denotes question relates to an Implied task from the task
list on pg. 3.

10. (S) Does the Commission have a role in reviewing emergency response/recovery plans for the city?
If so, what role? If not, why not? This is a somewhat leading question. There are a number of health,
safety, and environmental issues related to emergency responses that the Commission members may
have an interest in and may have expertise in.
11. (I) How will critical information be passed to the Commission members? For example, annual
pedestrian accident statistics. Information requirements for the Commission members need to be
fulfilled. Limits on the amount or types of information the Commission can request or is provided
need to be established.
12. (S & I) What is the relationship of the EQC to the Livable Streets program? We are the advisory
board, but what is the program and who runs it? Is the entire Commission the advisory board or
should it be a sub-committee of the Commission?
13. (I) What will be the process for requesting grant funding? Who will write the grant proposals? Who
can deny the proposals from being submitted for the city? We can't have grant proposals submitted
willy-nilly on behalf of the city by the Commission or its members. A process needs to be established
that includes responsibilities for writing the grant proposals, reviewing proposals, and
approving/denying proposals for submission. Also, the city should not be submitting grant proposals
that fund projects within the Commission's mission area without informing the Commission and
seeking its support.
