The staff is suggesting that the task force be subdivided into three or four <br />subcommittees (i.e., education, parks and recreation, etc.). By the first and second meetings in <br />June, there should be some decisions about what would be included in the bond referendum. <br /> Chair Halkiotis made reference to the composition and asked for any comments. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that Commissioner Carey expressed a concern about <br />including elected officials on this task force. He remembers that one of the lingering comments from <br />the 1997 bond package was that one of the jurisdictions felt that it had not been adequately <br />involved. He said that it was important to have an elected official from each jurisdiction so that none <br />of the jurisdictions are left out of the process. <br /> <br /> <br />
