more discussion less business

I would like to see our monthly meetings better balanced between landowner input and business. Since landowners can not make it to all committee meetings, I like the idea of choosing a topic (specific to a committee) that landowners have time for open discussion. For instance should the GLA hire a professional accountant, bookkeeper or CPA? The minutes keep for the discussion can then be handed over to the accounting and budget committee for further discussion at it's committee meeting.
