I appreciate this opportunity ro address the questions you raise and the concerns expressed by the Town Council. I attach a statement prepared by Ken Broun and published in the Chapel Hill Herald, which sets forth his understanding of the charge of the Committee and its proposed process. i endorse Ken's language and welcome this opportunity to elaborate on the views he expressed in light of the specific questions you ask. potential rocess The committee wilt help set its own work process. As Ken indicated in his statement, Che process is designed to produce principles that will guide the Lniversity in preparing plans for submission to the local governing bodies as part of the regulatory process. 1 hope that this process enables the University ro create plans with full understanding of community concerns and in n manner chat best considers those concerns. T'he committee sessions also will pzovidc an opportunity for the participants to question each other about the pzoject and to have an open exchange of ideas, The sessions will be open to the public, and 1 anticipate that the committee will allow comments from the public on several occasions to get a broad range of input from the community. Useful principles will emerge from a serious, good-faith effort on behalf of all of the parties. Two members of the University's Board of Trustees will he part of the committee process and will be fully engaged in the dialogue with other community members. 7
