3. TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS 
 
Dale Henning addressed the proposed Bylaws 203 and 204, recommending that the

formed part of the recommended terms for issuing STVR Temporary Use Permits. She 
noted that the permit itself would then include obligatory language.

the meetings. 
 
The LTC responded that it is not uncommon for one LTC  to open participation to other 
community areas.

present at the first meeting. He commented that the general community had not been 
informed that they could attend the meeting.
