This is my recollection of the discussion. Please feel free to add to it or correct it. After getting any feedback from you folks, I will propose that the following text (or a revised version) be added to last week's minutes. ************************************ The group discussed what the term sustainability means and how it might apply to our workgroup's vision statement. Mike Hanauer proposed that the group adopt the League of Women Voters sustainability statement as a guiding philosophy for Lexington 2020. (The sustainability statement is contained in the handout that Mike distributed at the beginning of the meeting.) Several group members expressed opinions that the LWV statement is too vague. They felt that in order for us to adopt any sustainabilty philosophy, it must be more specific and directly applicable to Lexington and its problems. At the end of the discussion, the group agreed that they would not adopt the LWV statement but would continue to discuss the issue and address it in our final vision statement.
