The assigned HDC member would monitor the progress of the work stipulated in the CofA, be available to answer any questions from the property owner and report back to the HDC.

John Forbis made a motion, seconded by Jim Bechtel, to ratify the proposal to have an HDC contact assigned to each approved CofA. All present voted in favor. Motion carried.
