and a total of 163 dues-paid members.

a new North Capitol Hill Association, apparently being organized by
Don Bain.
It was decided that at the October ooard meeting, approximately one-
half hour will be devoted to a presentation by spokesmen for and against
the Denver Water Board election on November 6, but that CHUN will not
itself formally take a position on the issue.
Report was given of testimony given by  Carolyn Reznik to the Environmental Protection Agency at its September 11 hearing on behalf of CHUN,
in conjunction with the Civic Center Association and other groups. It is
believed that recommendations made by CCA's Dean Punke have been approved
by the EPA regarding re-routing traffic on 13th, 14th, Colfax, and
16th Avenues.
Comments were solicited on CCA's plans for opposing the possible routing
of a PRT line underground on Colfax from Broadway to Washington, then
coming aboveground through the site of the Denver Clinic, and moving
along 16th Avenue.
It was moved by Jim James aiid approved without opposition that the Board
create a Committee on Transportation and Traffic Design. It was approved
without opposition that Cathy Donahue be designated chairman of this
committee. This action will add Cathy to the Board of Directors. Motion
was made by Mary McAllister and approved without opposition to amend the
resolution creating the Transportation Committee to say that the
Committee may only oppose any traffic plans with the approval of the
Board.
Mike Henry reported that Ethel Lunde has decided to move to Minneapolis,
and has consequently resigned form her position on the Board and as
Corresponding Secretary. It was decided that the President should seek
a new Corresponding Secretary and report to the Board within 120 days.
(It was felt that the position of Corresponding Secretary is not terribly vital to the effective functioning of CilCJiM.) A committee of Mike
hep^ry,   Peg Hart, and Patty Jackson was authorized to fill the vacancy
on the ooard as soon as possible, and recommendation was made that Don
Baia might be asked.

and he summarized the results. A preliminary summary of results will be
mailed to board members, and final results will be communicated to all
membors.
