Hi Greg, Hi Councilors, Hearing no objections to Council Leadership’s plan, I have asked Staff to send out their Strawman (which I have seen and is consistent with prior discussions) to the Small Team Plus and to issue calendar invites to the Small Team Plus for our usual time on May 13 and May 27. We will look over the Strawman at a conceptual level to see if we want to go down this path, propose a new path, or stick with the current draft Supplemental Recommendation. If we want to go down this Strawman path, we will likely spend the next call wordsmithing the Strawman. All are welcome to join!

We think this is the simpler option but are obviously open to suggestions.

Due to time constraints, we did not decide how to proceed with further evaluation of Topic 24. In the interest of sustaining momentum, Leadership is proposing the we add the new work re: Topic 24 to the small team assignment form (see attached), then allow the small team to consider a strawman proposal developed by Staff. After evaluation of the proposal, the small team will return to Council with its conclusions on whether this proposal is viable, and if so, provide draft language for the Council to consider. We do not believe amendment to the assignment form requires a vote, and the Small Team can start their work as soon as the strawman proposal is delivered by Staff. If any Councilors disagree, please respond on list and we can discuss at our May meeting.
