Talking to the council to see how we can help in a nutshell. Maybe take
over things like CoC, etc. Doing something about GLEP 39. Like MAYBE
having some involvement in times like now when there is to be a councile
changeover. There is who to supervise, enact it? Things that are VERY
pre-mature and have yet to be responded to official by a council.

Since there is an outgoing council, and then one incoming. We won't even
get a response till the new council is in place. Which we will then have
to resubmit our inquiry/offer. Some private discussion. Then a public
meeting will be called if council is interested, and things taken from
there. Ideally, but it's one in a series of events now.

Again VERY pre-mature. I am disclosing more now than has even been
brought up between the trustees and council. Just to be open and
transparent as to POSSIBLE ideas, directions, etc that would be
initially discussed in private, then met on in public.

So please do not read anything into anything. Nothing has happened or
will happen without most everyone being very aware and involved. No
action will take place in private.

I apologize for the delay in getting our minutes up. I will see about
getting that up ASAP. Since this was met on in public already wrt to the
trustees.
