  19. Follow up meeting: August 12, 2020

    Associated Project(s): 
    Light the Night

    During this meeting, it was decided that we will be moving forward with the mass install of silicone strap lights. MTD will purchase these lights, since the cost is same as last year. We can get 1250 light sets for $6000.

    As discussed in the last meeting, TBP will not participate in this event.

    UIUC, MTD, Urbana, and Champaign confirmed that they will be providing funds for this year's Light the Night - $1500 each.

    City of Urbana and City of Champaign will not participate in organzing, planning, or participation in a mass install event. So, they will not be involved in any of the future meetings. If for some reason, the mass distribution event does not take place, Urbana and Champaign will work on the Plan B.

    MTD, CCRPC, and Chanpaign County Bikes confirmed that they will participate in the event. MTD will work on a Safety Plan that will be presented to the CU-Public Health District and the Executive Steering Committee at the University of Illinois for approval. There will also be a Warning and Waiver form that all volunteers must agree to.

    Next meeting will be scheduled next week.
