Elio Soldi asked if there was a third element of consensus that the group could agree upon. Keith Cook asked about water and sewer. Lee Rafalow suggested that water and sewer had nothing to do with the group's vision, but was rather a means to an end. Soldi said the term diversity had been mentioned several times; was this a valid subject? Keith Cook said it was a good thing to agree on, but hard to establish if you were talking about housing /affordable housing. Soldi said it may be good to make a list of things that were desirable, although not necessarily feasible, and analyze each one individually. Verla Insko referred to the flip ,chart and asked if two additional items should be include (population cap and no water and sewer, I think). Rafalow said he contributed to the two points and agreed with them, but had not heard agreement echoed by the group. Insko suggested asking the staff to reorganize and group the ideas on the list and bring them back for the next meeting. Soldi suggested focusing on a few items at the next meeting rather than trying to deal with a list of 20 things. He said the group needed to reduce things to a level everyone was comfortable working with to make it possible to get down to details. Verla Insko referred to agenda items three (update on questions from last meeting) and four (Rural Character Impact Assessment) and said the group had not gotten to them. Gene Bell' indicated that there were handouts for both items. Lee Rafalow said he :,had a concern regarding meeting attendance. He said the group was at a point in its discussions now where people who drop in- and -out would be very disruptive. Verla Insko added that those people and the rest of the group would also be very disadvantaged. Rafalow asked the group to consider ways to encourage consistent attendance. If a neighborhood that is not being well represented has other people who could do a more consistent job, they need to be recruited. Insko asked for a show of hands of those present at the last meeting. Rafalow made the observation that the last meeting and those preceding it weren't particularly important by themselves. However, he felt that from this point on, '.consistent attendance was important. Elio Soldi said the group was now talking to each other and now it was time to be part of the process. Previously, the group had been in the mode of receiving and trying to assimilate information. Insko passed a membership list around asked the group's assistance in contacting people who weren't there. Handouts for agenda items three and four were distributed. Lee Rafalow asked if the Rural Character fiscal impacts were adjusted for capital costs. David Stancil said they were not, that they were consistent with the previous impact assessments prepared by the students. '�He indicated that when the group comes up with a recommended plan, another impact analysis will have to be prepared and by then, data from the Impact Fees Study will be available. 16
