Will Spence, Mike Rantz, Linda Spies, and Candace Grier called to indicate that they could not attend the meeting.

The meeting was called to order at 2:50 p.m. The group was welcomed and thanked for braving the snowstorm to attend. Introductions were done as diverse groups were represented. An overview to project activities was given. Most notable was the approval of human subjects by the Human Subjects committee of Metropolitan State College. The project is on schedule with the completion of the 20th Street Recreation Center virtual environment. The environment will undergo usability testing shortly.

The 20th Street Recreation Center was demonstrated to the large group. Then, the group split into smaller work groups, each with a laptop computer, to critique the 20th Street environment. Feedback was will be compiled and used to begin the revision of the environment.

A request for research subjects was made. Thirty-six adults (over age 18) with mobility impairments are needed to participate in the summer research project at the 20th Street Recreation Center. These individuals cannot have had prior experience using a community recreation center. If you know of any possible subjects, please contact Jane Broida (303 556-4206, broidaj@mscd.edu).

It was announced that Candace Grier will be assuming responsibility for the Consumer Advisory Council and acting as a Consumer Representative to the CATT project.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:05, and people remained shortly to socialize and eat.
