12 <br /> 275 <br /> 276 Tom Altieri: I can follow up on that. I mention these equity opportunity areas.That's one of the things that Clarion will do. <br /> 277 There's data available to identify our low to moderate income communities, our non-English speaking, transit dependent <br /> 278 riders, and identify these areas and see where they relate in terms of things like where broadband is available,where <br /> 279 transit is available.You've heard of things like food deserts and things like that. That would be part of Clarion's work for <br /> 280 sure. <br /> 281 <br /> 282 Beth Bronson: Just wondering if we will get notes from the work group meetings?Will we get debriefed or is that just at <br /> 283 those three different time points? <br /> 284 <br /> 285 Tom Altieri: Clarion did mention that they will be taking meeting notes at those meetings.Those would be publicly <br /> 286 available. Certainly, one of the items I would expect would be part of their website along with a lot of other information <br /> 287 about the project. <br /> 288 <br /> 289 <br /> 290 AGENDA ITEM 8: PLANNING BOARD RULES OF PROCEDURE—To conduct a work session on potential <br /> 291 amendments to the Board's Rules of Procedure. Discussion will include possibly formalizing time <br /> 292 restrictions on applicants' presentations and formalizing the current policy of limiting individual <br /> 293 comments to 3 minutes. <br /> 294 <br /> 295 PRESENTER: Perdita Holtz, Deputy Director—Long-Range Planning &Administration <br /> 296 <br /> 297 Perdita Holtz gave a short introduction to the work session topic of potential amendments to the Board's rules of <br /> 298 procedures regarding length of applicant and public comments. <br /> 299 <br /> 300 Statler Gilfillen: reading from information in the packet... "Neighborhood planning board members shall be encouraged to <br /> 301 attend neighborhood information meetings." I am the representative for the Eno District, I believe in March there may <br /> 302 have been a meeting about the Lawrence Road that was that public meeting. I don't remember seeing it, I missed it, how <br /> 303 do I encourage that if something is coming, in any of our respective district areas that somebody from planning might <br /> 304 give us a phone call or flag it to us so we don't miss it? <br /> 305 <br /> 306 Perdita Holtz: I believe that an email went to the planning board telling you that there was going to be a neighborhood <br /> 307 information meeting. <br /> 308 <br /> 309 Charity Kirk: There was. <br /> 310 <br /> 311 Statler Gilfillen: I'm in the district and I'm the one that should have had a focus, but I apparently missed it and I admit that <br /> 312 1 missed it, it's my mistake. I'm trying to help the system so that any of us, if it's in our district,that maybe a special effort <br /> 313 to send not just a general email but to us to flag it. Because it's too easy to miss something. <br /> 314 <br /> 315 Adam Beeman: If you missed that one, how would the second one get to you any different? <br /> 316 <br /> 317 Charity Kirk: It was sent to the planning board,there's only a few of us... <br /> 318 <br /> 319 Beth Bronson:There's also a website you can look at under the current projects and that will tell you if there's a <br /> 320 neighborhood information meeting and where that's at. I normally check that every month or so. <br /> 321 <br /> 322 Cy Stober: So actually one of the special projects that Ashley has been working on, is coordinating with community <br /> 323 relations on a monthly newsletter and that will include neighborhood information meetings that are coming up.We can <br /> 324 include planning board meetings on that newsletter,so you'll have an extra reminder. <br /> 325 <br /> 326 Lamar Proctor: Is there any kind of state law that we should be aware of in terms of limiting people's ability to speak or <br /> 327 anything along those lines?The state legislature has given us the ability to limit discussion at these meetings but to give <br /> 328 people the opportunity to discuss? <br /> 329 <br />
