I stood during Q&A and explained that auto-captions on our recorded town halls were often inaccurate and that several teammates rely on high-quality captions to participate. I proposed a simple pilot: human-reviewed captions within 48 hours for all-hands, plus a checklist owners could follow.

Safer school crosswalk

I shared near-miss data I collected (10 incidents in 30 days), photos of poor night visibility, and a petition from parents. I asked for an interim fix (temporary signage + flashing beacons) while a permanent raised crosswalk is evaluated.

I described how heat index >32°C was causing dizziness and mistakes. I presented a simple rule set: shade tents, electrolyte stations, 15-minute cool-down per hour when HI >35, and rescheduling heavy tasks to mornings.

Transparent budget summaries

I noted that members only saw year-end totals, which made it hard to understand program trade-offs. I proposed quarterly one-page summaries: revenue, top 5 expenses, cash runway, and any restricted funds, written in plain language.
