Thanks for this.  I see no mention of my motion, which basically confirmed my position (and that of NCSG, whose submission missed the deadline) that the policy was fundamentally flawed.  I recognize noone wants another PDP but Council could also take the position that the policy needs to be revisited, and request a charter.  Seems logical if it has never been used in a decade.  Anyway, I would submit that such a document should mention the fact that there were minority views in the IAG that the policy itself has flaws which demand a fix.

Councilors –

Having now considered --and withdrawn-- two separate motions on this topic, it is clear that we need to regroup, reassess, and consider our path(s) forward. 

Per the discussion on our 30 SEP call, I would like to convene a group of interested Councilors to kick off discussions and present options. For context, please see the attached Overview document prepared by Staff.  This summary is intended to provide backgrounds, and kick start ideas for resolution, but by no means is it meant to serve as an exhaustive list.

I’m hopeful this group can work together to reconcile the diverse opinions on this issue, and come back to Council one or more motions that have sufficient support to pass.

Thank you,

J.
