Councilmember Cook Kallio said she has already voiced her desire to serve on the task force. <br /> She said she is also very interested in mixed -use, TOD, and environmentally sustainable <br /> building practices. She shared additional concerns regarding quality of life. She said she would <br /> very much like to serve and appreciates that this is something she can do after work and at a <br /> time that she can dedicate without reservation. <br /> Councilmember McGovern said she could support the appointment of both but asked that they <br /> take her concerns into account. She said she still doubts that this is a viable concept and wants <br /> to ensure that it gets and provides the very best opportunities. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan thanked Vice -Mayor Thorne and Councilmember McGovern for the <br /> recommendation. He said he has been interested in and an advocate of this type of project <br /> since his time on the Planning Commission, but noted that his primary goal is to accomplish it in <br /> a way that is acceptable to the community. He suggested there are lessons to be learned from <br /> the previous item, that a community -based stakeholder process which is open and inclusive is <br /> crucial to success. He said he has heard Councilmember McGovern's concerns loud and clear <br /> as well as those of other stakeholders, and will try to take all into consideration. <br /> Vice -Mayor Thorne said he is also concerned with ensuring an open process that considers the <br /> concerns of everyone involved. <br /> Councilmember Cook Kallio echoed those comments but cautioned against starting the process <br /> with any preconceived notions of what this project should ultimately look like. She said one of <br /> the strengths of the Council, and potentially the task force, is the variety of viewpoints. She said <br /> that if one can keep an open mind, listen to others, and articulate their position well, an <br /> incredible product could be achieved. She hoped this process would provide her with an <br /> opportunity to ask questions, learn, and represent the values of other Council members in a way <br /> that meets the needs of the City. She suggested that the Council maintain some flexibility with <br /> its proxy, in the event that the named proxy is unable to attend. <br /> Mr. Fialho said that would be possible with advance notification. <br /> MOTION: It was m/s by McGovern/Thorne to appoint Councilmembers Cook Kallio, Sullivan, <br /> and Thorne (proxy) to the Hacienda PUD Task Force, with the provision for an alternate proxy if <br /> needed. Motion passed by the following vote: <br /> Ayes: Councilmembers Cook Kallio, McGovern, Sullivan, Vice -Mayor Thorne <br /> Noes: None <br /> Absent: Mayor Hosterman <br /> 19.
