Committee reviews guiding principles and confirms draft is a working document
Summary
Staff presented seven guiding principles compiled from a prior Mentimeter survey and emphasized the packet is a draft for internal committee review; members asked how the public can access the draft and were told copies can be shared but formal public comment will happen at a later public hearing.
Staff member (speaker 3) opened discussion of the guiding principles, describing them as summaries of previous survey input and a draft for committee review. "This 1 is to preserve its unique roots over the next 20 years," the staff member read from the packet, and committee members questioned whether a 20-year horizon was the right phrasing.
Several members asked whether the draft was available to the public. Staff (speaker 3) and another staff member (speaker 6) said the meeting is a public work session — not a public hearing — and that drafts can be shared and written comments submitted later. One participant asked for a copy; staff agreed to provide it once appropriate, and the committee chose to continue detailed wording work in follow-up sessions.
