All commissioners were present. Two commissioners have retired, Edward Pollard and Richard Kontny. The commissioners replacing them are, Joseph Davis and Gary LaRochelle.

The only business was to elect 2020 officers. They are the following:

Chair, Amy Pierson (D3)
Vice Chair, Laura Rose (D1)
Public Hearing Chair, Katie Butler (D2)
Public Hearing Vice Chair, Marc Bennett (D5)
Rep to the Regional Planning District Commission, John Mayer (D2)

There is a Solar Farm Meeting at the Visitors Center on Wednesday the 19th at 5:30. There was no discussion about the agenda.

There was no new business, the minutes from the last meeting were approved and the meeting schedule for 2020 was adopted. They will be the 3rd Monday of the month.

The meeting adjourned in 45 minutes.

OTHER NOTES OR COMMENTS:
It seems that the working meetings are the place where the real work and decisions are done. It seemed that these officers were already agreed to because there was no discussion and no candidates nominated other than the candidates elected.
