Method of Operation: The task force shall consist of volunteers from the community of Jefferson, with the support of the Jefferson Ruritan Club. Members of the task force shall elect the following officers: president, secretary/treasurer, and chairpersons of the following standing committees: publicity, communications, database, and MDOT liaison.  Meetings shall be conducted according to Robert’s Rules of Order.  The operating funds for the task force are expected to be minimal and will come from the donations of individuals, businesses, and organizations.
