Review Notes August 19th

The following will be added to the August 19 th meeting notes:

Anne Perry felt that the CLC should concentrate on the landscaping around the STP to soften the building, rather than on how we can pretty up the building.

The notes were accepted as corrected.

2.

Action Items:

The newsletter was approved with the following changes/ recommendations:

The colour of the paper will be yellow. The graphic (street sign and the round church ) will be used on all CLC public communications. The name of the CLC will be the The Halifax Community Liaison Committee . It was decided to drop the word "North" from the CLC name, since in reality the plant and surrounding community is in central Halifax. Also this Halifax STP will service more that this community.

Sharon will contact Brent McCoombs and give him the go ahead to print the newsletter and mail it.

The word "member" after Bob Downey's name in the Steering Committee Members section, will be deleted.

The font in the grey box out announcing the October 10 th meeting will be all black. The font used for the fifth task will be made to look more prominent or more different that what is in the draft. It need to really jump out at people.

3.

Job Descriptions:

The group reviewed three job descriptions, one for Chair, one for secretary and one for member. It was decided that only one job description would be used, that of member (attached). It was felt that when people are elected to the CLC, they can elect their own chair from their the members. Also it was felt that they can create any other positions they deem appropriate. We will pass along the other two job descriptions to the CLC for their consideration. The word Volunteer will be added to the position title.
