OLD BUSINESS
The board reviewed comments made to updated by-laws submitted to Kim Gant 1 Certified Local
Government& Survey Program Manager at the Department of Archaeology &Historic Preservation.
After the review then a discussion of Kim Gant's comments, the board decided on a set of edits and
additions to the by-laws to satisfy Kim Gant's comments. Ken agreed to take the lead again to consolidate
the edits and additions in a document and send it to Kim for a second CLB compliance review.
The board will review Kim Gant's response at the next meeting. If the second set of edits meets the CLB
compliance requirements, Bret will take the document to the appropriate City officials for their review
before the Board submits the request for changes of City Ordinance 2530 to the City Council for final

process will take place at the next meeting.
