Ms. Liu requested the Commissioners put these trainings on their calendars early so they can all attend. Ms. Liu stated the Planning Commission is always encouraged to get involved in the Planning profession, trainings and organizations. Ms. Liu stated she thinks some of the Commissioners are members of the American Planning Association Kentucky Chapter, but if anyone is interested she can help them sign up and we'll pay for that. Ms. Liu stated there are other organizations if anyone is interested we can help them sign up as well. Ms. Liu stated as we are updating our Comprehensive Plan some of these trainings are probably very valuable. Chair Jarboe asked if there was a go to person for the Commissioners to know how much CE training they have. Ms. Liu stated she looked at this a couple of weeks ago and everyone appears to be in good shape. Ms. Liu stated everyone will be provided with their training for the year at the next meeting on the 15th. Commissioner Lewis inquired about scheduled meetings for the remainder of the month. Brian Davis stated we will let everyone know officially. Ms. Liu stated Commissioner Gazaway has been assigned to LD&T.
