Agreement; and

and the Town of Woodside may consider membership as well; and

the new members to approve and execute a Second Amendment of the Joint Powers Agreement; and

brand and has become known to the public as "Commute.org"; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting on September 16, 2021, the Alliance Board of Directors reviewed
