01/16/17 Glenn Sproul’s sugges ons:
Concerning documents to provide to (new) members of the Commi ee, you've done an excellent job
assembling a pre y comprehensive list. As I said at the mee ng, I think it's important to provide a balance of a
few pieces in hard copy (or a achment to email) and a library of important resources on a thumb drive. Where
to draw the line between the two is somewhat arbitrary, but I would suggest hard copies of the following:
List of Commi ee members
About Recrea on and Parks Commi ee
Mission statement from the Bylaws
Minutes, Agendas and a achments from previous one or two mee ngs
A printed index of the documents to be found on the thumb drive. Without going over a page or two, the index
might be expanded to include a sentence or two of guidance to each document, including date of issue,
par cularly important sec ons (for a long document like the Comp Plan), maybe * and ** nota ons for pivotal
docs.
Thanks as always for your numerous and carefully thought-out contribu ons!
Warmly, Glenn
