Approval of Agenda/Adoption of Minutes
The agenda proposed by Chair Bob Booher was adopted with modifications. The minutes of the regular meeting of February 16, 2010 were adopted unanimously with a few changes.
Review of Projects
There were no projects to be reviewed.
PC-HPC- Work Sessions
Methods to limit the denominator in a FAR procedure were discussed. The question of how to present the ideas of one or more triggers was discussed. Bob Booher explained how triggers or gates would cause more rules to be invoked for larger projects but could permit an easier process for smaller building projects.
The Annual HPC Award
The members discussed candidate projects for the annual award. We decided that we did have criteria. A decision will be made at the next meeting.
Other Business
Potential Workshops and lectures were discussed. The HPC budget was considered and $1000 was thought to be needed for secretarial work, $5000 for a matching grant, and $500 for the plaque and awward for the coming year.
