LIAISON REPORTS: (09:24 PM) a.City Council b. SPARC Chair Mills stated that because a letter of concern over the change of venue for the April 10, 2008 SPARC meeting was sent to the City Manager and all of the members of SPARC, he wanted to take a moment to explain the reason for the change of venue. Chair Mills stated that he met with George White, Irene Borba, and Laura Lafler,to discuss the best way to proceed with the April 10, 2008 SPARC meeting. After much discussion and consideration, it was decided by consensus to move the meeting to the Lucchesi Community Center. The purpose for this change of venue was to allow an atmosphere of a round table type of meeting so all parties could have more of a give and take and flow of ideas,because they really don't know where this meeting is going to go. They don't know what suggestions the staff at KB Homes might make, and continued to say, "We ourselves really don't have suggestions from staff or SPARC at this point. So we all felt that a more even basis, where we could actually talk back and forth would be a much more appropriate venue for having the meeting that way. The meeting will be taped by Public Access Television. A copy of the tape will be sent to Community Development to upload to the City's website. This is a meeting to decide where we are going to go. No decisions will be made regarding the project. All efforts for further public discussion will be made at future SPARC meetings hopefully, and the public is invited to this meeting, and are welcome to comment and join the discussion during this meeting. As Chair of SPARC, I will make sure that happens." c. Petaluma Bicycle Advisory Committee d.Tree Advisory Committee Adjournment(09:26 PM) Meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
