~d C~; ~m present: Cosh~.
1. Minutes of the July 13th meeting were approved as distributed.
2. Cai discussed the GIS mapping and showed the current land use map as prepared so far.
The map was originally mapped using ArcView software, which, after much work and expense
had been incurred, was found not to be compatible with the County's Arclnfo software--although
both systems a~e made by the same company and were supposed to be compatible.
Laurel has ArcView software and can manipulate data on maps with it, but that data must
then be transferred to the Amlnfo system manually before it is integrated into the County data
base. A list ofcorrent data information overIays was handed out which includes items a lots and
blocks, ownership, aerials, and USGS maps. Cai will continue to update the OC on progress.
3. Ken discussed the availability of students in classes at the High School for TCSP
presentation, and the OC went over various agenda items. It was decided to show the "Subdivide
and Conquer" film and then prepare a follow-up process that would take up two days or two class
periods.
4, Invoices as listed on the Agenda were moved by Larry for payment with a second by
Kate; motiOn carded. (The Lanrel Outlook was paid $220.80, and Klotz's amount was $484.76.)
5. The Smart Growth column was discxtssed with Kathieen suggesting lttat we reduce the
number of eolamnn. It was decided to try for a monthly article in all local newspapers
accompanied by our logo, if possible.
6. Anne briefly discussed the brief diagonal parking survey she took on the street; the major
characteristic was overwhelming favorability and support,
7. A draft of a logo prapared by Kate was passed out. It combines a little of Laurel with the
TCSP national logo. It is to be brought back next month for refinement.
8. Cai passed out two brochures: One for Billings, Big Sky, and Beyond which is the first
attempt at regional planning and taking in a 60-mile radius of Billings; it will take place October
5,6, and 7. The second brochure was a flyer for the Mid-Yellowstone Land Trust, a local land
trust that provides some of the land management alternatives needed in a comprehensive
approach to land pl~nnlng in an area.
9. The hearing for the proposed Montana Department of Tmaspertation plans for relocating
and rebuilding a portion of US 212 south of Laurel was discussed. One of the possibilities is that
this highway could be designated a Scenic Byway which would greatly benefit Laurel and OC
members may want to provide input to support such designation. (The address for submitting
comments is ). . .
