[RCAC] Fwd: UDO advisory group - RCAC participation

Hi again everyone, Please see below for more info from Planning Dept. Director Mitch Silver on time commitments and a rough meeting schedule for participants in the zoning code update advisory group. Looks like a minimum of 7 meetings between now and January 2011, with a total of 14-28 hours of time over 13 months. In a follow-up e-mail Mitch also explained that the group will agree on a meeting time, and that meetings will most likely be scheduled during evenings, after business hours. So, those are the commitments. I hope that's enough information for folks to determine whether or not they would like to represent us to the group. We need to agree on how the CAC representatives will carry forward the concerns of other CAC leaders in this process, and also how they'll make sure that the CACs are kept informed of how the code rewrite may affect us. As Phil Poe has pointed out, we want to ensure that the communication is more timely and thorough than it was during the Comp Planning process.

However, more meetings may be needed to allow the Advisory Group time to review and offer comments on key elements of the UDO.  Key milestones for Advisory Group to meet include (tentative): - Orientation, Review Scope of Work (1 meeting) - Diagnostic Report (1 meeting) - Confirmation of Direction (1 meeting) - Draft Modules and Form Based Code Testing (2 meetings) - Public Review Draft (2 meetings) Each meeting may take up to 2 hours each. Also, the Advisory members should review material in advance.  So I would estimate about 14 to 28 hours over 13 months.

Can you give me a sense of what the workload will be for advisory group participants, or direct me to a more appropriate person to ask? Thanks!
