I have an interest, but I'm still trying to find out more about the requirements / workload. I believe it's important to have a diverse group that has extensive knowledge about different issues -- e.g., urban versus suburban issues. Also, as RCAC reps, the RCAC should clarify how the reps will work with the RCAC and other CAC leaders. We may need to create some ad-hoc committees to help identify and resolve important issues. As we all know, information did not flow well during the Comp Plan update. The advisory group is being created to avoid the same thing from happening during the prep of the UDO.

This group will be made up of different types of stakeholders in the development process, and will give input on the re-working of the city's zoning codes. There are three seats available for CAC leaders. So far Paul Brant, Phil Poe and Mark Turner have expressed an interest in participating. We need to confirm our representatives and then I'll send a message to Planning and Council to let them know who will be representing us. Paul, Phil and Mark - can you confirm that you are willing to participate on behalf of the RCAC? Is anyone else interested in participating? It's up to us to agree on who we want to act as our representatives, and anyone can step up. You don't need to be an expert, either--the city will be providing in-depth training to the advisory group members so that everyone will be on the same page. If you're already expressed an interest in representing the RCAC in this group, please confirm. If you're newly interested, please let me know by responding to this e-mail. As soon as we've confirmed our picks, I'll notify the appropriate folks in city government. Thanks, Ana Duncan Pardo Chair, Hillsborough and Raleigh CAC (919) 818-5933 _______________________________________________ RCAC mailing list RCAC(a)eastraleigh.org http://www.eastraleigh.org/mailman/listinfo/rcac
