used exclusively for the modernization of land records. The Land information Advisory Council also

committee to review the draft letter and incorporate any additional comments. He added that the State
Joint finance hearings are already finished, but they are accepting comments while still working on
budgets. The Committee discussed the letter and optional funding and requirements for local recycling
programs. Motion by Peavey, 2nd by Shearer to approve the letter. Motion carried. Stauffer opposed.

goals and objectives for the Farmland Preservation Plan, which will be used for upcoming public
workshops. He indicated that the wording had been revised to address earlier comments from the
