Review of Planning Commission Meeting
Sandy reported that Carl Cottrell had resigned from the Planning Commission.
l. Cell tower at Duval Way: screening approved. This was for a tower refused by
Planning Commission, then approved by the Council.

Old Business
Sandy reported a very successful Earth Day at Westwind Barn.
New Business
Mayor Mordo recently convened a meeting with the Chairs of the various Volunteer
Committees. At this meeting an apparent lack of communication between the various
committees was remarked upon. We have in fact being exchanging minutes with the
Open Space Committee for some time.
On April 5th we received a note from Nancy Couperus commenting on this fact and
suggesting that, since creek and creek protection had, before the creation of OSC, come
under our scope, we could collaborate on this issue as well as others that might arise.
The Board agreed to this proposal. It also noted that we had points of overlapping
interests with both the Parks and Recreation Committee and the Pathways Committee.
We will ask if these two committees would find an exchange of minutes useful.
Meeting adjourned 6:30 pm.
