We would like technical assistance, <br />2. We will send before June 30 the names, titles and <br />phone numbers of those who will formalize the <br />guide, <br />3. We will send what information we have by June 30, <br />4. We need a'30 day extension to complete the <br />Revitalization Guide. <br />Please approve our going forward with this. <br />Commissioner Eggert explained that this committee probably <br />will function for just one month, just long enough to get this <br />information to them. She suggested that Mike Gifford serve as the <br />banking representative. She understood from Sam Patterson that the <br />fishermen are resisting the 12 -page application forms. <br />Commissioner Bird suggested Charlie Thomas be named to the <br />team. <br />Commissioner Adams suggested that we include the aqua -culture <br />park in this application, and Commissioner Eggert advised that is <br />included. <br />77 <br />JUNE 279 1995 <br />
