On a motion by Mr. Burdette, seconded by Ms. Wastweet, the committee voted unanimously to recommend that the scale’s beam appearing in design AEP-R-01 be changed to be mechanically correct and to show the blindfolded justice holding the scale byway of a loop above the beam. The intent of the motion was to address concern that the justice is shown holding the beam of the scale without a pivot. On a motion by Mr. Meier, seconded by Mr. Olson, the committee voted unanimously to proceed to drafting the committee’s FY2009 Annual Report. There being no further business, Chairperson Marks adjourned the meeting at 4:30 p.m.
