We had a lot of discussion on whether we should have a public meeting in LaPorte.

We decided to have our May 20^th meeting to discuss Glade Reservoir draft EIS. This meeting will focus on how the reservoir will affect LaPorte. The first hour will be for open discussion. 2 min max each person. The second hour will be for the LAPAC board. Since we expect a large turnout we will try to find a bigger place. We will also request minimal replication.

Paul will check on the availability of the Tapestry House.

Ed Ott will check on the availability of the Primrose Studio.

We will have an extra meeting on May 13^th to go over 1041 process.
