At the September 4, 2003 ASB meeting the current ASB structure was discussed Primary discussion centered on the absence of one or two members at a meeting It was determined that this made discussion recommendations and voting more difficult for the members that were present. Also in light of the agricultural situation it was the feeling that more knowledge would only enhance the decision making process In conclusion it was recommended that the ASB increase its member structure by one more ratepayer farmer member Financial Implications All associated cost would be incorporated into future ASB budgets Recommendation. 1 Advertise immediately for the upcoming vacant ratepayer farmer member position 2 To consider increasing the ASB member structure by one ratepayer farmer member Bruce Sommerville Agricultural Fieldman Page 43
