COMMUNICATIONS/
VISITORS:	Chairperson Curtis told the assembly that at the last meeting he mixed up the order

	with ordinance enforcement. Motion by Ranger, seconded by Giltinan to table this
	item. Roll call vote. All ayes, motion carries.
NEW
BUSINESS:	1. Discussion on Petitions coming before the Board and order of comments.
	Ranger said that the Chair did an excellent job conducting the meetings but the
	Board should have a set order to follow during a petition hearing.
	It was agreed that the Petitioner will make his presentation first, followed by Public
	comments, Board comments and then the Chairperson will call for the motion.
	2. Ranger asked the Board if the Pledge of Allegiance could be added to the agenda.
	There was some discussion and everyone agreed it was a good idea. This will be
	added to the agenda as the first item of business.
