Chairman Eggert asked if anyone wished to speak on this matter, and Madeline La Plaunt, member of the original group, wished to say that the meetings they had were good; they are willing to work with the Board in any way; they would like the Board to try this route; and any committee the Board appoints, they would be happy to work along with it. William Stegkemper spoke representing the RN Child Care Center, a private, for profit, tax paying entity and stated that he felt the recommended committee should have someone from the private sector on it as well. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, to establish a 9 member advisory committee; Chairman Eggert to chair said committee; and instruct that the Chairman solicit participation from the community. 12
