Chairman Cochran noted that a quorum of the Board was not present and that therefore no action of the Board could be taken at this time. Chairman Cochran called upon the staff to present to the Board for informational purposes the revisions in the draft of Chapter 509 policy statements. The Engineer stated that the staff had mailed to the Board on December 4, 1964 a proposed draft of the policy statements revised as directed by the Board to include standards suggesting specific application of the sated goals and policies. The Engineer stated that af•. review of this draft by the Attorney and the Engineer, it was felt that a more condensed version of the policy document should be prepared for the Managers' consideration at this meeting. The Engineer distributed a revision of the December 4 document dated December 12. The Engineer explained that the revised document condensed and simplified the statement of goals and policies contained in the December 4 draft and did not contain standards as a part of that document. The Engineer explained that the alternative document suggested by the staff was intended to state management goals and policies on a district -wide basis. He suggested that the detailed standards contained in the prior draft should be utilized in the detailed development of the Chapter 509 plan. The Engineer also suggested that the revised statement of management goals and policies, if accepted by the Managers, should be redistributed to the municipalities in the district for review and comments in order to expedite the preparation of the Chapter 509 plan.
