The report perhaps should include a list of possible legislative actions that may be needed to address concerns encountered by the committee. (MII!t Fulton) I . The repon should consider how the site will connect to neighboring communities via roads,. bus routes,. infrastructure. etc. (Marsha Soucheray) . Should the report include a list of IISe3 that the committee does not want to see at I the site (e.g. casino's) (Julie Trude) Molly Grove requested committee input on the strategy for future meetings. A draft plan I and information base will be completed in order to begin public meetings. After . . discussion about the timing of public meetings,. the Office of Congressman Vente will begin pulling tQgether materials and have them available for handing out at the next - . .

He also discussed tlie potential impact of national government funding cuts on the cleanup Ii process. In light of less funding, the feasibility studies on the cleanup of the TCAAP site have been broadened to include more cost-eff~tive solutions, while still considering legal and environmental requirements. Fix cautioned that there is not written policy on this yet., I' but that there have already been significant budget cuts to the TeAAP site budaet While items cut may not impact-the cleanup too badly this fiscal year, the funding picture is unclear at this point ss to the future. Denny Probst asked if the degree of clean-up will I be revisited since there is less funding (i.e. perhaps not clean the entire site to the cleanest, "residential" level). Mike Fix stated that if the committee recommends land-use ideas that impact the amount of clean-up, the process may move quicker (while once I again cautioning that the cleanup has to achieve standards to make sure that health and environmental safety is achieved)_ A discussion followed on the TCAAP site cleanup I efforts as they fit into national priorities (e.g. other sites that may currently be risking the health and safety of citizens, as compared to the TeAAP site. where those types of present risks have already been remediated). Mike Fix stated that, under certain I circumstances, it could become cheaper for the Department of Defense to continue to own the property and maintain security and fence lines, rather than to cleanup and dispense of the property.
