For an expanded background of video clips see this General Plan summary list at Our Mayor Stocks blog. And another summary list from EYNU here for a real data dump.
In the spring last year the staff was directed to take over the GPU and orchestrate town halls, open houses, workshops with Q&A, tool boxes, surveys and the much derided mapping exercise to place dots connoting low income housing throughout the city.
The first report was last fall, Sept. 2012. The 500 of the community's maps and surveys were analyzed and presented to the council by Peder Norby, named facilitator of all the community gatherings, GPAC (General Plan Advisory Committee formed in 2010) and ERAC. The following clips begin with that community overview, with an introduction by then Councilwoman Teresa Barth. Also included is a video of New Encinitas resident Duff Pickering as it is representative of the many New Encinitas people who became involved the previous year when the GPU process was ripped apart. His observations regarding the summary language, maps and the statistics analysis are all of interest.
Then the last 3 weeks of reports from the Planning Commission, GPAC and ERAC are presented. Feb. 13th was the Planning Commission, Feb. 20th the GPAC group and yesterday, Feb. 27th, was the ERAC group in two parts here.
The next step will be for the city staff to compile a report for the council that includes all of these reports. For the complete context to these last reports, including Peder Norby's facilitator introductions, public speakers, council questions and comments, go to the webcast log at the city website and find the applicable meeting date for the full meeting video.
