The meeting was called to order at approximately 6:05 p.m. by Vice-Chair Mark Gerwing.

Bill Meyer of the Rotary Club gave a presentation on the pillars at Nine Mile Corner located at the intersection of Arapahoe Road and Highway 287. The pillars were constructed within public right-of-way prior to its administration by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). Recent decades have seen major boosts in traffic levels, and corresponding efforts to widen the roadway. CDOT does not have a plan for preservation of the pillars. The Board discussed different options available to repair and preserve the pillars and possible alternative locations for the pillars should they need to be moved, and expressed their desire to work more with CDOT, the City of Lafayette, and others on this issue. HPAB members Jason Emery, Liz Gehring, and Larry Powers volunteered to participate in further discussions regarding the pillars.

David Hawes joined the meeting at 6:09 PM.
Elizabeth Gehring joined the meeting at 7:09 PM.
