The Commission discussed the proposed questionaire that
was worked up by Mrs. Werneth after study session input
3/19/85 . Mr. Parker said he was not prepared to act on
same tonight as he has not had chance to look over form.
Commission did go over items one by one and presented
changes to Mrs. Werneth who in turn said she would have
new form to look at by 4/8/85 Council Meeting, would mail
out a copy to each Commission member before that time and
if there were changes to come that Monday night and give
input. This was satisfactory with Commission members.
There being no further business, meeting was duly ajourned.
