Be committed to attending meetings, reading staff information, and being prepared to balance individual and minority interests for the overall benefit of the community. e Provide a forum for community discussion. Actively engage the community in a constructive dialogue about the options for the Civic Center site and other sites in Downtown, as well as land uses along Main Street, the role of office, commercial, and residential land uses, and the potential for infill housing. e Provide input on draft products. Review and provide input on draft options for land use and circulation plans, and draft goals, policies, and programs, and the incorporation of existing policy documents. e Provide recommendations as requested by City staff.
