That said, the city at the behest of Sue McCloud has appointed ad hoc committees to avoid public input and scruntity in the past. The ad hoc committees for the SCC come to mind. <BR/>It will be interesting to see what the committee studying volumetrics advises the council.

It only took years and years and years from the time the eucalyptus trees were removed and the promise of restoration was made by the city council. Lets hope other projects in the city don't take this long to finally come to fruition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
