And third, similarly, you might want to consider having the advisory board systematically consult each year with each user group in each road service area that provides access to the park for them to weigh in on potential CASA projects they deem valuable. Fourth, you might want to consider including as a voting member of the advisory board a board member of one of the road service areas that provide access to the park, given their familiarity with road conditions. And a fifth, final comment: in situations where a proposed project might increase maintenance costs for a road service area, You might want to have the Advisory Board work jointly with the road service area regarding quantifying those costs, where the additional funds might come from, and elevating the issue in its recommendations to the Assembly and administration. In closing, again, we see CASA as a win-win proposition for Anchorage. In situations where compromises are required, we are confident the Advisory Board could be a sound mechanism for crafting solutions., and we look forward to the creation of the board and working collaboratively with it.
