Rather than a few talking points and the offer of a room for art exhibits, here’s two ideas that I would like to see offered:
Present a proposal which is 100% education use. Not 2/3 housing and token education to satisfy the RFP.
Start over with you proposal, but this time directly include the community in your planning. (See McMillan for an example)
wow, all of four days’ notice! that and the busy holiday season should help to minimize turnout.
JD: If you are able, please show up for Friday’s council meeting to testify or just sit-in and let them know this is not acceptable behavior.
