Board weighs a public repair-and-reuse directory but flags city website and legal concerns
Summary
Members supported a broadly editable repair-and-reuse directory but raised concerns about hosting it on the city website, neutrality and staff resources; alternatives include linking to the Chamber of Commerce or Metro tools and hosting a shared folder for board use.
Greg described a draft directory design that would let organizations add themselves to an interactive list and said that approach would avoid exclusivity. Roberto had proposed an editable list and volunteers discussed whether the content should be hosted on a city page; legal constraints and staff time were cited as limiting factors.
Dylan said legal review had been cautious about putting such a list on the city website and suggested linking to external resources (Chamber of Commerce, Metro search tools) if the board wanted a public-facing starting point. The board agreed a shared cloud folder or SharePoint would be a workable interim solution for collecting examples and grant information.
