Willy Bethea said not to believe the calendar when it says you have a meeting.
December's P &R meetings are wrong also.
Mike Sirofchuck thanked everyone for their work. Continue to communicate with
the public about the Trails Plan and let them know it is in progress and the draft will
be coming sometime.
Bud Cassidy said we have everyone that gave us their email address and what we
are doing is putting out a little blurb every so often. If you think of something you
want to pass on that is short and sweet like "stay on the trail" or something like that.
Let's take advantage of all the technology that we can.
Mike Sirofchuck said you could do one letting them know that we do a Trails Plan
Update at our meetings.
