PlanningBoard | 2007-10-08 | 11 | group exercise, 30 minutes for the reports, and an open forum of 90 minutes. President Cook agreed with that allocation, from 12:15 to 4:00 p.m. She noted that the committee's schedule included a morning break. Member Ezzy Ashcraft believed that the location would be important, and suggested that it be held in Council Chambers so that it may be televised. Vice President Kohlstrand believed it would be difficult to use Chambers for small group breakouts. Member Ezzy Ashcraft suggested using the library conference room for the small groups. She believed that it would be difficult to manage a 45-minute lunch break at Alameda Point. Ms. Woodbury noted that staff would examine venues that would lend themselves to this kind of forum, and would work with the consultant on that issue; she noted that it would be important to have food close by. President Cook inquired whether the Board favored the subcommittee's report before lunch, and Ms. Woodbury's recommended format for lunch and after lunch. In response to an inquiry by Member Cunningham whether the report would come back to the Planning Board regarding the format of the forum, Ms. Woodbury replied that a progress report of the forum's status would be made to the Planning Board. President Cook believed it would be very important to work towards a date certain for the forum. She concurred that everything would not be completed by the holidays, but would like the consultants to work towards a date in January 2008. she noted that many members of the public had expressed a desire to hold the forum before the SunCap proposal moves ahead much more. Member Mariani agreed that this forum should be taken care of and completed as quickly as possible. She believed that late January or early February would be a great time to hold the forum. Member Cunningham moved to dissolve the Expanded Housing Element/Measure A ad hoc committee. Member McNamara seconded the motion, with the following voice vote - 6. Absent: 1 (Lynch). The motion passed. Member Cunningham moved to accept the format as proposed by the Planning Board ad hoc committee for the session from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., followed by a 45-minute lunch break. The forum would reconvene at 1:15 p.m., and the proposed program as suggested by the staff report per Attachment 4, including small group exercises, reconvening to listen to reports and an open forum. Further explanation of the small group exercise topics will be described, and clarity regarding the selection of the panelists would be needed. Panel members would again be solicited from the appellants, and the consultant would consider those along with the individuals selected by the Planning Board ad hoc committee. The resultant names would be circulated through the staff report at future Planning Board 11 | PlanningBoard/2007-10-08.pdf |
