Mr. Shannon suggested a response to Mr. Schroeder and interested parties encouraging them to proceed with their efforts to address the key points outlined by the Commission during the last budget session. He said the Historical Society will be informed that the Commission is interested in knowing whether concerns of the past presidents' group about membership on the panel are met. Mr. Wieland asked for a comment from the people present whether they feel there is communication between the parties involved. Mrs. Lila Hutchinson said there has been some progress but there are still issues that have not been addressed, including by-laws. Mr. Arnie Pauls said he is still in favor of the nine-member board that the Commission proposed, and Mrs. Hutchinson was in agreement. Mr. Pauls said his group had no input on the names for the "Blue Ribbon Panel." He said they approve what Mr. Schroeder has done so far and feel it is a step forward, but it is not all inclusive. Mr. Shannon asked Mr. Pauls if he felt it would be suitable for the Commission to accept Mr. Schroeder's letter as a step forward and encourage him to proceed, and Mr. Pauls was in agreement. MOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Hr, Sondrall seconded to receive and file correspondence from Darrol Schroeder, President of the Cass County Historical Society, and that the Chairman draft a letter for the Commissioners' review along the lines of the comments outlined above. Discussion: Palmer Forness said he applauds the Commission for what they have done and for showing their concern. Mrs. Jeannette Stanton said she is not sure the entire Historical Society Board agrees with Mr. Schroeder on the "Blue Ribbon Panel." Mr. Shannon thought they were waiting to see how the Commission would respond. At the call for the question and on roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
