341 Ms. Maudalane Marshall, 1405 Elliott Circle, Vice Chair of the Parks Subcommittee, stated that she would be glad to serve on the panel. She added that Chris Meidl, Chair of the Parks Subcommittee, had requested her to informthe Council that he would be willing to continue to serve. She pointed out to the Council that the members are average citizens, not experts, and would need Staff assistance. She also expressed concern that 75 days may not be sufficient time for the panel to complete its task. Ms. Pat Stillman, a resident of Sunol, commented that all eight Chair and Vice Chair represent the majority, and that with the general committee Vice Chair, the landowners, and the minority/preservationists, the membership would yield an eleven-to- two ratio, in favor of the majority. Ms. Emily Wagner, 520 Rowell Lane, Chair of the Residential Subcommittee, indicated her willingness to serve in the panel. She added that Mr. Darryl Alexander, Vice Chair, has likewise indicated his willingness to serve. With respect to Ms. Stillman's comment, she noted that the Chair, Vice Chair and Recorder were not allowed to vote at the general committee meetings. Mr. Tom Law, 7331 Elmwood Circle, Chair of the Quasi Public Subcommittee, stated that he would be happy to serve in the panel. He indicated that he also had written statements from Janet Cristiano, Vice Chair of the Quasi Public Subcommittee, and Chris Meidl, Chair of the Parks Subcommittee, indicating their willingness to serve. Ms. Becky Dennis, 838 Gray Fox Circle, expressed concern about the balance in the panel and suggested that the membership be broadened. She noted that one of the reasons the Steering Committee members worked so well together, despite the differences in viewpoints on many issues, was because of the dynamics of working things out during which no member's opinion was considered insignificant relative to the whole. She stated that it would be good to have more minority opinion represented in the panel because the panel is not commissioned to change the plan but to develop an implementation process which would ensure that people's concerns are addressed, that questions that need to be asked are asked, and that the impact and cost to the City, as well as who benefit from the plan, are discussed. She pointed out that although the Chair, Vice Chair and Recorder were neutral and were not allowed to vote, none of them expressed the opinion that the Final Report was incomplete and needed further work when the Report was presented to the Planning Commission and the Council. They were strong proponents of the plan, which they indicated could go on the ballot in November 1991. She proposed that the panel consist of the Steering Committee, without the Planning Commission and Council -3 - 7-30-91
