Under this proposal, a number of entities or people <br />will be appointing agencies, one being University City. The Mayor will be making the <br />appointment on behalf of the City. He asked the members of the Council their ideas <br />and recommendations for possible appointments. They will probably be asking for his <br />input quickly. The report which he received said set out some directives in selecting <br />appointees: 1 ) it was critical that this community working group balance the interests of <br />different localities and neighborhoods; 2) Ensure the voices of system users, funders, <br />residents and majority property owners are represented in deliberations; 3) Includes <br />regional perspective and represent the interest of the region, preservation, design <br />environmental communities. 4) The appointing bodies will be asked to exercise care in <br />selecting appropriate persons, ideally sending to the community working group, <br />individuals with knowledge of past planning processes and a demonstrated ability to <br />balance specific concerns with larger community perspectives. He asked Council to <br />keep these directives in mind, as they send him ideas and recommendations. <br /> <br />Mr. Munkel asked what the end product of this working group would be. The Mayor said <br />that they would recommend to the design group. The design group, in turn, will bounce <br />concepts to them as they go along. They will not be, in a sense, making <br />recommendations. Mr. Munkel asked if they would be an advisory group. The Mayor <br />said yes and, possibly, more. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer said that he and Mr. Sharpe would be going to the meeting about this <br />tomorrow. Mayor Adams said that Mr. Wagner would also be attending. It will be at the <br />Clayton Community Center at 7:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
