Monday, May 22, 2000 Managing Growth Working Group Minutes for 5/ Page:3 <br /> 16 meeting <br /> negative <br /> connotations. Others in the group felt that they are still legitimate <br /> descriptions <br /> of the two positions held by members of the group and should be used. <br /> Marianne Lazarus suggested that there are no longer two factions <br /> in the group -- an anti or no growth faction and a managed growth <br /> faction -- <br /> but further discussion by the group came to a consensus that there is <br /> still <br /> disagreement on this point. John Andrews suggested that there is <br /> agreement <br /> in the group that certain types of growth are harmful or detrimental and <br /> that <br /> in the future, we need to be careful about the kinds of growth we allow. <br /> There was some discussion about how to illustrate the conflict between <br /> growth and no growth -- for example, the trade off between building more <br /> affordable housing vs. the desire for more open space. <br /> Tom Harden noted that he (and the group) agreed with several points made <br /> by <br /> John Andrews in his proposed substitute text. Tom will try in <br /> incorporate <br /> them into the next draft of the Narrative. <br /> Karl Kastorf moved, and Lee Sinai seconded, that the group accept the <br /> draft <br /> Narrative as it exists as the draft that will be sent to the CPG on the <br /> following day. <br /> Karl noted that, if Tom had time to make some changes before the draft <br /> was <br /> sent to the CPG, that would be fine, too. The motion was passed by a <br /> vote of <br /> 10 in favor, 2 abstentions. <br /> Karen Longeteig requested that a statement about biodiversity be added <br /> to the <br /> draft before it is sent to the CPG. John Andrews also suggested that we <br /> need <br /> to add conservation/preservation of wetlands to our draft. <br /> Agenda Item 7. <br /> Tom Harden noted that there are two versions of the draft vision <br /> statement <br /> on the floor for the group's consideration -- one proposed by Mike <br /> Hanauer <br /> and another proposed by Marianne Lazarus. <br /> When invited to identify areas of difference in the two versions, <br /> Marianne <br /> said that in her version, she tried to work from the general to the <br /> specific, <br /> based on our goals matrix. She also noted that she believed that Mike's <br /> version <br /> included things that hadn't been discussed by the group. <br /> Mike said that he had tried to include some of the thinking that went <br /> into our <br /> decisions in his draft. <br /> mailbox:/Macintosh%20 H D/System%20Folder/ <br /> Preferences/Netscape%20Users/ <br />
