The board appointment of DebbeyWarren expires 6/30/16. Debbey's appointmentby the board is in lieu of conservation district representation on the board. Theconservation district previously allowed that they have representation on the boardas Gloria is the designated CCPB secretary. Debbey agreed she would like tocontinue on the board.

Following discussion Mike moved, seconded by Karen, torecommend to the Hardin City Council approval of the zone changeas presented.Motion carried - unanimous. Cal will draft the notification letter to the City.

Bill questioned why there isno public site review of the Love Truck Stop, which isunder construction. Cal reminded the board that he had emailed to all CCPB boardmembers information on the project, and that the site was already zoned forthatkind of project. Consequently, only the citybuilding authority hasinput into theproject, the CCPB at this point has no review authority.

As there was no response to a call for public comment, and no further business tocome before the board, the chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 7:20 p.m.
