hi, Thank you for this information. From the agenda it looked like a purely informational meeting. Any chance you can give us a clue on some of the specific questions? Thanks a. On 4 Apr 2008, at 18:39, Kurt Pritz wrote:
There are several areas where there are different options for implementation where each of the options would be following the Policy Recommendations. We think Council input will be valuable in these areas and also in testing staff reasoning. Also, staff has examined the “legislative history” behind the recommendations. in certain cases, staff wants to verify the rationale for adopting the recommendations in order to properly express support if the recommendations themselves.

I would also like clarification as to whether this is purely informative or whether the staff anticipates that Council will be able to provide reaction, guidance, etc. The distinction is very important not only in terms of preparation (including trying to schedule constituency meetings within the next 5 days), but also attendance (especially for those prospective attendees whose travel time is likely to far exceed the actual meeting time).
Thanks.

Hi Karen,
Thank you for the agenda.
I have some questions:
Is this purely an informational session or are there specific issues and questions the council is being asked to react/respond to? As I read the agenda, it seems like an informational session. If I am reading the agenda incorrectly, and there are issues that we need to discuss, I would be grateful if the council could be informed about these as soon as possible.
Also I would like to reiterate my request for the implementation notes that we have been requesting, and which were promised to us, as soon as possible.
Finally as this agenda was produced by the staff without consultation, I am assuming that the staff is planning to run the meeting. If this is not the case, please let me know.
thanks
a.
