Mr. Mosiello came in to discuss his referral on the Bus wraps. He has asked the Administration to review the contract and see if we can get out of it. He and many of his constituents feel they are an eyesore and would hope that the County would not enter into another contract for this item. However, it is a revenue procudcer, but at what expense? The Committee agreed to wait and see what response Mr. Mosiello gets from the Administration before any further action is taken.

Chair Oros explained what the Committee will be doing next Wednesday at our everning community meeting next week. We will start out at the satellite campus of the Community College where Dr. Hankin will make a presentation. We will then go on to the Kiley Center where Ms. Swan will make a presentation.

Leg. Bronz presented the Committee with a memo on a proposed format for the Housing Forum to be held in April.

On motion of Leg. Bronz, seconded by Leg. Young - the meeting adjourned at 3:50 P.M.
