Phil, Thanks for your concern. I don't feel we can amend the agenda at this time. However, if you want to bring it up under new business or your CAC report, you can. If you do that, I would ask you, please, to take no more than 5 minutes rather than take us on a long diversion. To be brief, for instance, perhaps you could suggest a specific course of action that individual CACs might choose to take in discussing it at their meetings. But with the RCAC on course with the strategic planning over the following three meetings, there won't be any time for the group to address it. I am not comfortable, either, with the RCAC taking positions on what are essentially political issues. Politics is within the realm of the Raleigh City Council, not the RCAC. While I personally feel as you do-that is, I strongly concur with the City Council's position-there are certainly many Raleigh citizens who agree with the proposals and do not support the City Council's positions on these issues. Thank you again, Will William A.

I'm recommending we modify tonight's agenda to include a discussion on ways the RCAC can support the Mayor and City Council on these issues.
