from 57 members to 27 and there is concern that the smaller, but
faster growing areas, will be left out.

meeting to address three main i$sues. The first issue is to review
and update the 1992 agreement. The second is to review and update
the Joint Planning area for each City. The third issue is to
determine what other cities should be invited to join C.A.M.P. such
as Orlando, clermont, and Mount Dora.
