Bigfork Steering Committee - Land Use and Planning for Bigfork, Montana

Treasurer’s Report: Steve mentioned we had not settled on the amount of donation for the Church. The Motion was made to send $100.00 (m/sc Zabaro/Losee) Passed

North Lake County Planning: See Attached

Stormwater Committee: Sue was unable to attend so she sent the November 25, 2009 minutes. They have been very busy so rather then try to condense them they are attached to the email.

Information Committee: Edd has received a few pictures and needs more.

Dark Sky Lighting Committee: Drew Hubastek was back in town after working out of state. He mentioned he was working on getting the PowerPoint Presentation he showed to us a couple of years ago. He also noted a Professor of Environmental Studies at UM, Steve Running, is also much interested in the Dark Sky Lighting.

Chairman’s Report: Craig reported the Bigfork Enhancement Committee is now a stand alone committee and is applying for their own tax exempt status and is writing their own bylaws. They had a good response this last summer.

Craig also mentioned the Board of Adjustment did not meet this month due to lack of a quorum and bad weather.

Old Business: Jim Losee poised a question. He felt since the BSC is a Sub Committee of the BLUAC and the BLUAC is elected and they are supposed to be covered by the county shouldn’t the BSC also be covered? This year we have paid 1160.00 for all BLUAC Board Members and BSC Executive Board. Craig will research this again with Jeff Harris of the Planning Board since Jeff made mention of this at a board orientation that Craig, Pat, John Bourquin and Shelley Gonzales attended.

New Business: None.

Announcement: Chamber of Commerce was having a Sundowner that evening at 5:00 PM Hosted by UPS.

Meeting was adjourned at 12:38 PM

Pat Wagner, Secretary
