At the suggestion of Cliff Trotter, the committee explored reasons for incorporation other than, “control our own destiny”. The following were given as additional reasons for incorporation:

1. Keep tax money local

2. Control over community (funds, property tax revenue and growth)

3. Efficient form of government maintained locally. (With local control, what would have been the progress of Von’s, CVS, Willow Rd., Mary Ave., etc?)

Mike requested suggestions for additional members for the committee. The following names were discussed: Marianne Buckmeyer, Jesse Hill, Mary Wheeler, Mike Winn and Mary Woodson. Mike agreed to contact these people.

The next meeting of the committee will be August 15, 2007 at 2:00 P.M. The location will be determined. The committee is urged to bring others to the meeting that might have an interest in working on the Fund raising committee…
