February 20, 1978 Page 9 meetings. He said he would like to make the following resolution: which should be incorporated into the by-laws: "The Commission is not to take action on any business brought in front of the Commission unless a committee recommendation concerning the item first is given. The committee that has jurisdiction in the matter shall be as-' signed to the item as determined by the President or a majority of members of the Commission. This procedure may be voided by the agreement of a majority of the members." (Resolution #8). Mrs. Price seconded this resolution. It was put to a vote and passed unanimously.. Mr. Wasielewski said that in the future as these items come up, and he will assign them to the committees, and hopefully, they will be brought out of committee, and there will be committee recommen- dation on every item. A question was raised from the floor that if all decisions are made in committee, then a feeling of "what's going on" would be lost. Ms. Sporleder said that the committees would be making studies and recommendations for the Commission as a whole to act upon. It was further clarified by Mr. Wasielewski. Mrs. Price then submitted a short form that could be used for the re- porting of notes of committee meetings. She suggested that the staff consider using it and every time there is a meeting of the committee that this form be filled out. She said it was a simple form listing the attendance, what the agenda was and what actions were taken. It then is signed and becomes part of the file. • Mr. Wasielewski remarked that he did some changing on the committee listings. He listed "Landmarks and Standards" and "Districts and Standards." Staff Report Ms. Peck said she was informed by County CETA that it is difficult to get someone with stenography skills. She wanted to know how important the Commission thinks shorhand is. She discussed the qualifications of the applicant that came in last week, saying she was qualified except for not having shorthand. It was brought up that perhaps the person co; -,1d learn this skill in school while working for the Commission. There was discussion on this topic. Ms. Peck suggested that the Com- mission allocate money for either a tape recorder or a Dictaphone as th one being used now belongs to Community Development. Mr. Was- ielewski stated that this would beworked out further. Ms. Peck then said that although the Commission had slide carousels, it did not have a slide projector. She felt that if these carousels are to be used in the community, then the Commission should think in terms of getting a slide projector. Mr. 0xian suggested that estimates be obtained on these items. Ms. Peck then brought up the topic of travel. She again informed the Commission that she had applied for the Community Preservation Workshop in Galveston, Texas from the 18th to the 25th of March. She said, if chosen, she would like the Commission to pay for her room, air travel
