Unfinished Business <br />Chair will email a Chapter 8 update out to all members of the commission as well as the open meeting <br />law statute information. The next step for this project will be to work on the definitions list.

The agenda will include work on definitions and the draft outline. J.

New Business <br />Discussion of Section 3.01: Chair presented that after a significant amount of research into the issue <br />that the current language as written actually fully covers all the questions that were raised and he <br />suggests making no changes. <br /> <br />Discussion of Section 3.02: B. Thomas presented a draft of possible language changing the liaison <br />function to apply to city commissions and committees. Consensus was that language probably isn’t <br />necessary at this time and we’ll pursue input from B. Doty and J. Miller on the deletion. <br /> <br />9.
