MINUTES ; The minutes of February 9 were reviewed. Peter Urbach requested that the last paragraph on page 4 be restated. It will read as follows: Peter Urbach said it was wrong to exclude a regular member from the deliberative session because of a prior absence. The Board should function as a Board from meeting to meeting and not as a group of four individuals who were present at the previous meeting. Periodically a regular member is absent and is replaced by an alternate. This should not disqualify the member from participating at subsequent meetings. The members agreed with these comments.
Don Weatherson made a motion to accept the minutes as corrected. James Lyons seconded the motion. All members were in favor.
