7.1. Report from the Council Meetings – Glen reported that he met with both the RM and Village Council and gave them an update on the progress of the changes that we proposed to our committee structure. They seemed supportive and it seems like they have no intentions of making changes to the CDC.

7.3 Cellular Phone Tower – It was agreed that we need a cell tower in the Glenboro area. It was agreed that Darren/Glen would draft a letter and petition to be circulated around town.

7.4 Athlete of the Year – The idea was brought up that maybe Glenboro should have an Athlete of the Year award and a picture of the recipient would be hung on a new "wall of fame" at the Hall. After some discussion it was thought that maybe a volunteer of the year or Resident of Distinction might be a better title. We agreed to table this till the next meeting and every one was to bring their thoughts to the next meeting.
