have.

Mr. Chairman: I have one other piece of business. I'm going to reappoint the
Railway Train and Traffic Subcommittee and ask Mr. Shepard to continue to chair that
and he can appoint members as he sees fit.
Mr. Shepard: I was going to appoint Mr. Williams in light of his occupational
expertise and ask Mr. Beard to continue to serve and Mr. Mays to serve as ex-officio.
Mr. Chairman: Last year we approved a Subdivision Development Regulation,
basically a bible as I'd call it, and I have spoken to Mr. Kuhlke about this. He's agreed to
serve as Chairman of a sub-committee that I'd call the Development Regulation Review
Subcommittee. The purpose in that is to review this bible that we passed and see if we
went overboard in some areas or see if there are some areas we need to tighten down on
as far as regulations and requirements go and bring back those recommendations to this
Committee. Mr. Kuhlke is at liberty to appoint those members as he sees fit.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
