Approved August 2 , 2023 275 276 Tom Altieri : I can follow up on that . I mention these equity opportunity areas . That' s one of the things that Clarion will do . 277 There ' s data available to identify our low to moderate income communities , our non - English speaking , transit dependent 278 riders , and identify these areas and see where they relate in terms of things like where broadband is available , where 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 280 sure . 281 282 Beth Bronson : Just wondering if we will get notes from the work group meetings? Will we get debriefed or is that just at 283 those three different time points ? 284 285 Tom Altieri : Clarion did mention that they will be taking meeting notes at those meetings . Those would be publicly 286 available . Certainly , one of the items I would expect would be part of their website along with a lot of other information 287 about the project . 288 289 290 AGENDA ITEM 8 : PLANNING BOARD RULES OF PROCEDURE - To conduct a work session on potential 291 amendments to the Board ' s Rules of Procedure . Discussion will include possibly formalizing time 292 restrictions on applicants ' presentations and formalizing the current policy of limiting individual 293 comments to 3 minutes . 294 295 PRESENTER : Perdita Holtz , Deputy Director — Long - Range Planning & Administration 296 297 Perdita Holtz gave a short introduction to the work session topic of potential amendments to the Board ' s rules of 298 procedures regarding length of applicant and public comments . 299 300 Statler Gilfillen : reading from information in the packet . . . " Neighborhood planning board members shall be encouraged to 301 attend neighborhood information meetings . " I am the representative for the Eno District, I believe in March there may 302 have been a meeting about the Lawrence Road that was that public meeting . I don ' t remember seeing it, I missed it, how 303 do I encourage that if something is coming , in any of our respective district areas that somebody from planning might 304 give us a phone call or flag it to us so we don ' t miss it? 305 306 Perdita Holtz : I believe that an email went to the planning board telling you that there was going to be a neighborhood 307 information meeting . 308 309 Charity Kirk : There was . 310 311 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 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 313 to send not just a general email but to us to flag it . Because it' s too easy to miss something . 314 315 Adam Beeman : If you missed that one , how would the second one get to you any different? 316 317 Charity Kirk : It was sent to the planning board , there' s only a few of us . . . 318 319 Beth Bronson : There' s also a website you can look at under the current projects and that will tell you if there ' s a 320 neighborhood information meeting and where that' s at . I normally check that every month or so . 321 322 Cy Stober: So actually one of the special projects that Ashley has been working on , is coordinating with community 323 relations on a monthly newsletter and that will include neighborhood information meetings that are coming up . We can 324 include planning board meetings on that newsletter, so you ' ll have an extra reminder. 325 326 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 327 anything along those lines ? The state legislature has given us the ability to limit discussion at these meetings but to give 328 people the opportunity to discuss ? 329
