Hauck suggested contacting RVCOG to help organize the meeting. It was decided the best date would be on Saturday, February 21, 1998 and it should last all day. Subjects the members would like to discuss include compatible infill, historic trail opportunities, self-guided historic walking tours, how to promote historic interest, utilizing the schools and teachers, and the cooperation and trading of information between the commissions. While addressing the format, the Commission agreed a keynote speaker would not be necessary. The members would like to see five or six work groups discussing various topics. Then all the groups should get together for a common meeting. There should be a facilitator for each table, a staff person should take minutes, and one commission member should be chosen to make a presentation at the common meeting. Minutes of all the work groups should be compiled into one set, then distributed to all the commission members. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business.
