The regular meeting continued.  The members of the commission felt that our CAMP seminar was very informative, and that the members should work to incorporate some of the ideas and methods into our process and procedures.  Also articles such as the one Jill provided on windows should be printed and archived for our files and made available to residents seeking to make improvements to their properties. The commission will try to set a work session to continue the modification to our guidelines.
