Approval of Agenda.

Approval of Minutes.
Motion by Aikman, seconded by Sauer, to waive the reading of the December 5, 2005, Minutes and approve them as printed.
Motion by Aikman, seconded by Hammann, to amend the minutes to incorporate into a statement that the City of Evansville, Town of Union, and Evansville School District will seek to cooperate regarding managing the impact of residential development on the school district and to consider contributing to a study projecting future enrollment and/or a study of the fiscal impact of residential development. Motion passed.
Phantom indeed. The lack of follow-through on this is shameful. With all the discussion of the cities' projects struggling for funding, and at the same time not identifying why taxes have already risen to the point they have or where funding will come from in the future makes rational planning almost impossible. We will no doubt simply produce more of the same problems in the future if these impacts aren't identified and acted on.
