Election of Commission Chair and Vice-Chair
Since the commission’s terms do not officially begin until February, and due to the fact that two members were
absent, the commission tabled this item to their February meeting.
2013 Commission Workplan
The commission went through the 2012 commission workplan and reviewed each item for possible additions,
deletions, and clarifications. After a lengthy discussion, the commission made several revisions and asked that
staff bring back a revised copy to the February meeting for formal adoption by the commission.
Review of Commission Work Assignments
The assignments from 2012 were reviewed and no changes were suggested. Neuharth offered that he would be
looking at a better method for the control charts in the coming year.
Acknowledge Receipt of Various Reports/Correspondence

of focus. Specifically Norling noted an increase in events over the 80dB threshold at monitoring site #23 and
asked staff to inquire with MAC about this trend.
Adjourn
Neuharth made a motion, seconded by Lorberbaum, that the meeting be adjourned. All voted in favor. Meeting
adjourned at 8:25 pm.
