[council] Improvements Agenda Item

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

While I do not know whether the council will be ready to vote on the  
Improvements item at today's meeting, I have pulled the motion that  
was on the table a the last meeting up to this meeting.  I have  
amended it to included mention of Board resolution 2008.06.26.13 and  
updated the date by which the constituencies sold appoint members for  
the groups.
