Branding committee: The committee met with Turnstyle. They presented some visual

discussion the board preferred the #1 concept. The committee wanted feedback on how
we should present it at the annual meeting. Do we show all 3 concepts or do we only
show our selection? The public was asked for their input.
Laura- thought the committee had done a lot of work, thought the board should make a
decision and present that decision at the annual meeting.
Jordan -show one option.
Denise- present one option.
Kyle -torn on sharing, wondered if the public will be upset they won't be involved in
process. Wondered who was checking for trademarks.
Valerie -Liked #1. Present one option, likes the possibilities for what the icon can do all
over town.
A motion was made "that the board go forward with the #1 option as the board's decision
and that we invite feedback and participation on future development of that option
moving forward".
Motion was passed unanimously.
