1900+ public voices call for Option A.

Other options had the mic from second discussion began and the Board never looked back.

Option A never received a second of consideration.

Which raises the question:

New motion passes 15-1-0-0.

Action on #Addendum1 postponed until May meeting and TC tasked with new population projections…
