Given my extremely busy schedule, I cannot make it on the 18th. What I will do ,however, is E-mail some of my concerns, problems and solutions related to the agenda items. Most likely, I will send these to Wizard or DCR.
As you all know ,I am still a strong advocate of having a governmental rep in attendance at the first meeting. Brad Burns sounds like the perfect choice. But I fully understand the perspective shared by Wizard that maybe the government reps shouldn't be included in the first meeting so we can hash out our perspectives. I do encourage someone at the meeting to take excellent notes so a paper trail can be established. Then the information can be shared with the appropriate governmental people at another time (hopefully the second meeting ;-)
How would you all feel about Tanya Ryan and/or Kevin attending? Should they get an invite or would there be possible ill feelings if Gail is not also invited?
