      1)  Quorum is a minimum of 5 members in attendance with at least 2 industry members and 2 public members.
      2)  Votes must pass by 5 votes by show of hands, in-person voting.
In addition the committee requested that the frequency of meetings be changed to allow council to request the committee to meet more frequently if required.
