That contract should come to the Board at its next meeting. It has been suggested that due to the large scale of the project and the concerns over cumulative impact of development in the area, a citizen committee should be established to review the proposal. Such review should be to assist staff but would be independent from a staff recommendation on this matter. The committee could be established as advisory to the staff and would not be a formal decision making body. OPERATIONAL ASSUMPTIONS 1. Strive for consensus building not formal voting. 2 . : Act as liaison to its respective organizations. 3 . Not conduct public hearings but hold its meeting in public in accordance with the Brown Act.
