Tiffany Papadonis and Josh Murray both introduced themselves. They are both sophomores at Lexington High School, and they were both contacted by Principal Philip Lanoue regarding joining our group. Ben Goldstein, a member of the Fiscal Stability work group, joined us for this meeting, as his group wants to know what is going on in the other work groups. Agenda Item: Discuss final draft of the Environmental Scan. Suzanne proposed that we proceed line-by-line through the Scan. We did so. John Frey presented Mike Hanauer's comments on the Scan, and Suzanne and Larry Belvin presented John Andrews's comments on the Scan. Suzanne suggested that those who had typos, grammar corrections, etc. should submit those corrections directly to Karl. Karl requested that those who had more complicated changes to the Scan submit their re-work to him electronically. We reviewed the entire document line-by-line. I have not noted every single decision we made in these minutes, but all of Mike's and John Andrews's suggested changes were discussed, with some of the suggestions being approved and others being rejected. Every member of the group was given a chance to comment as we proceeded through the document. When there was a disagreement among the group members, Suzanne requested a vote, and the majority decision carried. Karl noted all of the minor changes on his version of the Scan.
