appropriate people.
-Mr. Griffith suggested that the Board recommend what they
would like to see in a future member. Mrs. Kirkpatrick informed
the Board that there was still a pool of seven applications from
July and asked if a selection should be made from these people
or if the Board would like it to be opened again.
-Mr. Weitz suggested opening it up again. Mrs. Kirkpatrick will
communicate their decision to the City Clerk's office and see
that the announcement is published.
-In answer to Mrs. Milton's concerns expressed in her resignation
letter, it was decided to draft a letter to her. Several of
the Board members suggested wording to be included in the letter.

letter and bring to next meeting. It was also suggested that
minutes be sent to her in the future to keep her aware of what
is happening.
B. Response to issues in letter -
-There was discussion on the role of the Cultural Resources Board
in regards to fundraising and other issues. It was suggested
to have a brief meeting with Council, sending only one or two
Board members, to re-establish lines of communication. Mr.
Griffith stressed that the Board's position should be positive
and look to the future.
After some discussion on how to proceed, it was decided to
include the issues as part of the Board's work on their goals
and objectives. It was suggested that rather than meeting
for an additional worksession that the next Board meeting be
used to work on priorities and additions to the goals that
have already been established. This meeting will go beyond
the usual time limit and food will be served. Final details
will be worked out before the meeting. Mrs. Hornberger suggested
that the term "quality of life" be defined as it pertains to
the. CRB. Mr. Siever will check to see if there is any definition
that the city uses. Mr. Weitz will check with our Chamber and
possibily others to see what is being used elsewhere and in the
community.
