The

Photocircuits Action Committee appointed by the mayor is

continuing to meet, albeit on a semi-regular basis, to

cover issues of importance both to the company and to

residents of nearby Planterra Ridge subdivision.

The group

met officially for about 20 minutes May 24, according to

Mark Bunker of Photocircuits, and the primary topic was

the recent independent audit of the Photocircuits

facility.

There were

a few recommendations made by the auditor, Bunker said,

some of which probably will be implemented soon and some

that will require further clarification.

The auditor

recommended the installation of external chlorine

detectors at the facility, to better detect leaks from

outside sources. All of the current chlorine detectors

are indoors.

A wind

direction-speed indicator system also was suggested,

which would help emergency personnel better direct its

efforts by identifying the path of any contamination,

Bunker said.

The next

meeting of the committee is scheduled Monday, June 21.

Photocircuits'

request to reduce the required distance between its

building and Dividend Drive is set for the City Council

agenda at the June 17 meeting, after the conceptual site

plan was approved by the Planning Commission May 10.

One of the

conditions of that approval was the determination that

the stream along the northern property line could not be

classified as a waterway. Bunker said that it definitely

is not a waterway and will thus not affect the site plan.
