Attendees: Jerry Armer and Katia Kelly via Zoom.
Katia informed Jerry that at the July 2026 full CAG meeting, the Facilitation Committee presented its work on identifying opportunities to increase representation through additional outreach and new member recruiting.
During the discussion, the entire CAG voted to temporarily remove the CAG’s current membership application form from the website, so that we may work on a replacement application that would better align with our recruitment goals.
The hope is to have the new one by mid September.
There is currently an application in front of the Administration Committee. At the general meeting, our committee asked that this application still be reviewed under current membership criteria.
Jerry and Katia reviewed the membership application from Kayla Moriarty.
It was decided to move the application forward because Kayla is a resident of Gowanus and lives very near the Superfund remediation area.
Jerry and Katia felt that she will contribute new thoughts and fresh eyes to our CAG discussions.
Katia will contact Kayla to let her know that the CAG will not be meeting in August, but that she will be invited to the September or October meeting for an interview.
