PlanningBoard | 2007-10-08 | 7 | A discussion of the selection of speakers by the appellants and other parties ensued. Member Cunningham noted that he was not as concerned about who the speakers were as long as they represented the interest groups and their points of view that give the Planning Board a broad perspective and the information they need to find. He believed that would be the most productive direction to staff. He inquired why six people had been chosen. Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that it was more important to her to have quality speakers than a larger number of speakers, particularly so across-the-representation could be achieved. Member Cunningham noted that the timeline was finite, and he believed those involved should be respectful of that. He believed that having a set agenda would be important to structure the forum. President Cook noted that they considered the idea of having one session relation to housing, and one related to transportation. She added that that idea was not very popular with many people. Member Cunningham believed it would be helpful to pose questions with answers, in response to the City Council's request of having something definable as an outcome of the meeting. Member Ezzy Ashcraft did not disagree with Member Cunningham's comments, but would like to retain the small breakout sessions in the forum. She noted that they should be voluntary, and added that a different kind of communication resulted from small group discussions. She added that it would be provide a different mix of communication opportunities. Member Cunningham suggested that the Housing Element consultant facilitate the meeting. 7 | PlanningBoard/2007-10-08.pdf |
