Councilmember Ayala wanted to create a mechanism, or a media, that stimulated thought, and believed Councilmember Brozosky to be absolutely correct. She also believed that the general public does not know what a General Plan is. Ms. Hosterman stated that she would support this is if Council believed it was of value. From her standpoint, she thought it would be nice to have it more open so that people have the opportunity to walk in and ask a question or make a comment. She was afraid that in going this ronte, the discussion would be more one on one. Mr. Brozosky reiterated again that he does not believe most people in the community know what a General Plan is, and noted that the majority would not be able to provide comments. Mr. Campbell expressed his concern regarding staff's time and the amount of time it would take to create the threads. Mr. Bocian indicated creating the threads would not take much time. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Mr. Campbell, to direct staff to add General Plan threads for each plan element and to enter the issues as separate threads under each plan element using the same format as reflected in the staff report to Council on August 28, 2003, but not precluding a blank sheet for residents to bring forth any subject matter they want. The roll call vote was taken as follows: AYES: Couneilmembers -Ayala, Campell, Brozosky, Hosterman, and Mayor Pico NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 7.
