Tentative Agenda for Next Meeting:

1. Opening comments by Chair.

2. Committee Members. Everyone in our community is encouraged to be on the committee. Current Committee Members are counted to form a quorum. Current Committee Members are able to make motions. Persons who have attended 3 consecutive meetings are Committee Eligible. Committee Eligible persons must re-affirm their wish to be Members at every meeting before the next agenda item is discussed. A Quorum is a simple majority of current Committee Members. All persons in attendance are encouraged to vote with the exception of approving minutes from previous meetings if they were not present. The chair can break ties but every effort should be made to satisfy legitimate concerns. Members who miss two meetings in a row will lose committee membership and must become eligible again. This is not a big deal and arguments to postpone meetings, waste time, or make exceptions for individual tardies, absences, past, future, planned or accidental will not be heard.
