Vince Taylor, Caspar Community Project Steering Committee Member, opened the meeting and introduced the newly hired Caspar Community Coordinator, Pat Ackley.
     Susana Morais, UC Berkley Student, explained the three alternative plans for preserving and developing the Caspar Cattle Company’s land. The plans were offered for the community’s consideration. The plans offered: Grocery store, which would require regional marketing to support, and Walking/biking trails.

The following discussion regarding the plans presented included:

• Walking trails that were handicap-accessible
• Volunteer fire department with trained EMT’s
• Horse stables to the east side of the community were not appropriate for Caspar and its property owners
• Light industry was a better alternative for the horse stables

Next steps for Steering Committee:

1. Complete the one plan
2. Survey the residents
3. Compile community feedback
4. Research existing developments
5. Look into rezoning
6. Research options for securing headlands

Money issues identified:
