Incorperation of Apple Plains
President, Apple County, Fiona calls the meeting to order.

"The merger for Apple Plains was approved by 98% vote." Treasurer, Apple County, Rebecca starts. "Most of the residents of Apple Plains have registered and property values are being assesed. Thankfully things are easier since most of the residents of Apple Plains are former Apple Valley residents"


"This means Apple County now includes Apple Valley, Apple Valley Metro and Apple Plains. Taxes will be assessed from all active residents and usage fees will be collected from all residents. Our 2004 tax collection should yield better returns thanks to the new residents and incorperated lands."

"Great," Fiona comments. "Is there an update on the proposition for a combined neighborhood map now that we have these lands incorperated?"

Consolidated Neighborhood Map
Rebecca nods. "I have been in contact with Amber's Journey of MTS about the possibility of a combined neighborhood map. She stated that it would be a few months before she might be able to start construction on a combined neighborhood map. Our options include simply staying put on seperate neighborhood maps and waiting for her to construct the combined map, or finding another constructor."

"Isn't she the one who constructed our current neighborhood maps? I've heard nothing but rave reviews of our hood planning and how it looks like a scene from a play."Minister of Apple County Community Services, Carmela, asked.

"Yes. I propose that we wait until we receive a response from her concerning her availability to construct the map. Depending on her availability, we can either contact another contructor or wait. In this case, we will need to be patient and wait for exactly what we wish."

"What other constructors have we considered?"

"Loverat's Tributania, Loverat's Dinky Downtown, and Himawara106's Lake Chicamacomico to name a few."

"Could we explore the other contractors until we hear something from Amber's Journey?" President of Apple County Board of Education, Johan Shazad asked.

Rebecca nodded. "That is a possibility."

"Great, so we'll continue research on other contractors until we hear a definative answer from Amber's Journey." Fiona concluded. "Let's move on to the proposition for online profiles."

Online Resident Profiles
"I propose that we host profiles of the residents online." President of Innovation and Heritage and Editor, Apple County Times, Jadhira Shazad started. "I propose displaying very simple information to begin with, such as name, hobby, aspirations, career field, goal and traits, then moving to more complex information, such as preferences, interests, group memberships, etc."

"Will there be photos of the residents?" President of Apple County Board of Health Services,
Julio Wilsonoff asked.

"Not in the beginning since photos are too dynamic. We could explore hosting images of the family or household."

"Household photos may be very beneficial. We allow families to purchase the photos for thier personal collection and then they would have personal family photos around thier homes." Carmela suggested.

"That's a great idea to raise money. We could have families take photos when they pay thier taxes in 2004."

"Until we collect photos, Jadhira, you could start collecting data. When do you expect the profiles to go live?"

"No later than the end of 2004." Jadhira promised.

Council Member Reports
"Wonderful, let's move on the last topic on the agenda. Council Member Reports are due soon." Fiona said.

"Are we going to start presenting a report on a consistent basis, such as one a simyear or each season?"

"That's a great idea, Julio. From now on, please present a report once a simyear as part of your duties. If there are no further questions, let's conclude the meeting." Fiona said.
