Smart Growth Lee

May 30, 2002 Agenda

DRAFT AGENDA FOR MAY MEETING
SMART GROWTH COMMITTEE

1. Call To Order, Introductions, Review of Agenda

2. Administrative Matters:

A. Minutes of April 25, 2002
Minutes are commonly a description of the time and place of the meeting, members in attendance, and a statement of actions taken at the meeting. The Committee will develop through time a sense of what is really wanted to be included in the minutes. All meetings are electronically recorded. As the Committee administrative support structure matures, it will be possible to post aural recordings of the meetings on the Internet.

Action Needed: Accept and Approve the minutes as amended by discussion of the members.

B. Selection of Co-Chairs*
The duties (abbreviated) of the Co-Chairmen are:
1. To ensure the agenda of the meeting is directed to its conclusion.
2. Moderate discussion and debate
3. Represent the Committee at meetings or events where such representation is warranted.
4. Appoint such subcommittees as are deemed necessary by the Committee.

* This is a slightly amended item. Since the draft agenda was sent, it was suggested that the Co-Chair system was developed as a community balance issue.

Action Needed: Elect, select, or designate Co-Chairmen.

C. Sunshine Law
The County Attorney’s office will provide information on Florida’s sunshine law and any appropriate County lobbying ordinances, and will answer questions on this and related topics.

Action Needed: None.

The Committee may wish additional actions or support as discussion ensues.

3. Informational Briefings/Education:

A. Hitchhikers Guide to the Lee Plan

It is expected that discussion in item 6 may lead to a request for briefing (item 3) that then enters the subsequent phases.
