The EPA/ICMA Sponsored report on Smart Growth (I) was an initial handout to the Committee. As each member brought his/her issues to needs and recommendation, the report clearly affected discussion. Staff kept quiet "checklist" for relationship, and the relationship was significant. Smart Growth II is provided to the members for any discussion or follow‑up that they would wish to address. (The Current list of Recommendations by the Committee also has significant relationship to the policies contained therein)
