I Wayne Leblanc e�ended a sincere thank you to a11 present, and explained that the goal for the open house was not to go over each drawing/idea individually, but to go forward with some of the Design Team ideas. Each person present gave an introduction, indicating his or her name and areas of interest. Wayne Leblanc suggested an action plan to keep ideas moving, and to keep the lines of communication open. His plan incorporated the following ideas: 1. Have the entire volunteer group meet every two months at City Hall. These meetings would welcome all cunent volunteers, as well as new volunteers, and serve as a communication source for all groups. The bi-monthly meetings would be to present feedback from the various task groups, and keep the community involved. These meetings would begin in January 1998, and would be held at 7:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month. The council chambers have been reserved for this group of volunteers on the following days: January 12, February 9, March 9, April 13, May 11, , July 13, September 14, and November 9.
