MERUs:  A decision was made to invite David Wayne Johnson, Lead Planner for Port Ludlow at the Jefferson County Department of Community Development, to lead a discussion on MERUs This would follow the business section of the August 2 General Meeting.  The goal is to build an awareness of the meaning and translation of the MERU concept to the build-out of Port Ludlow.

New Chair of Emergency Preparedness: Tom Stone, Woodridge Village, has agreed to chair this committee replacing Phil Norwine.  An initial effort will be made to reorganize and rejuvenate the block captains participation relationships.
