reviewed the materials mailed out. Discussion on contacting towns to designate a specific person to receive
mailings and also obtain a contact person from the planning commissions. These liaison contacts will be
very important to the success of the project.
Names and addresses of individuals who are interested in being on the mailing list for this project, should
be provided to Denzer. She has already had several inquiries and is creating an extensive mailing list.
Some people indicated an interest in attending the monthly meetings in addition to receiving mailings.

Discussed the planning and zoning training session scheduled for Thursday, May 4. Afternoon session will
be held for County Board members and Steering Committee members, evening session will be open to
the general public. All the special interest groups which can be identified will receive individual
invitations. Committee recommended that the sessions be held at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College
