Committee dismissed the issue from further scrutiny and stands ready to assist if needed.
There have been additional informational pieces regarding protection of our water supply like the one noted on Dec. 17, 2008 in a local newspaper which shows the POA staff continuing to get the message to the water consumers regarding the importance of this issue.

Sally Carroll distributed a printing report of the Village Voice to update the committee regarding where the voice has been since Jan. 2001, what is involved in upgrading, the costs, as well as recommendations.

The committee requested the February issue include the public forum educational information prepared for the Dec.1, Country Club Forum for local members.

It was suggested the April issue reinforce timely educational issues as well as the format regarding board candidates.

A motion passed for Ms Attlesey to discuss with the GM more advertising and more support from division heads. The committee agreed to wait until next year to reconsider improving the paper quality for the 2010 budget. The committee thought it was too late in the 2009 budget process to make the change. The committee also challenged the staff to explore ways to quantify the effectiveness of the publication. It is agreed the Voice is important to non-resident members, but no one knows how many of the non-residents actually read the publication.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 am. The next meeting is scheduled for Feb 16 at 10:00 am due to travel of the Chair in Jan. 2009

Respectfully submitted,
Jan Keirsey
