Harryman: I don't know the boundaries of the study area Commissioner Balch: The study area goes from the Arroyo on ... call it the north side, and it is like a felt -tip Sherman's march all the way down to Bernal. I'm out by one big fat black marker. Commissioner O'Connor: So we're not talking about the entire downtown specific area which includes some of the historic homes on First Street? Beaudin: We are talking about that. Commissioner O'Connor: I've always erred on the side of caution and if I'm only one block out I would rather recuse myself than not to have a perception of conflict. But if we can check this during the selection.... Harryman: Yes, you can for sake of selection. Commissioner Balch: Right there, the red. You can't be in the red Commissioner Nagler: So may I make a suggestion following up on yours? For purposes of making a selection tonight, I would support the idea of the Chair and maybe a past Chair; however, I don't support there being a constant rotation because the continuity of participation I think is critical to having valuable input. So what I would also support is that you know, in specificity, our appointments be you and Commissioner Allen, but that Commissioner Allen be a permanent representative from the Planning Commission and that the second position reflect whoever the Chair is at the time. Commissioner Balch: Well, I hate to bring this up but I'm the Vice Chair and people keep forgetting that. Commissioner Nagler: Okay, okay, I thought that but I didn't say it; that it be the Chair if able to participate. Commissioner Balch: So it goes to Vice Chair? Commissioner Nagler: Then if not, the Commission is asked at that time to make the appointment. Commissioner Balch: I'll throw my logic in the hat..... Commissioner O'Connor: ....I would rather not do that either. I wouldn't want to have a rotating position but I think before we even start discussing the possibilities, if there's two of us who are recused, I would like to know from the rest who has an interest. Since this is an 18 to 24 month task force, there may be people who may not want to dedicate that amount of time or can't, so I think I'd like to know from the others who is interested because we may only have two who are interested. Who knows! Commissioner Allen: Well, I would say I'm very interested. I have a passion for the Downtown. It's part of what got me on the Planning Commission.
