To: Community Development Board Re: Agenda 10/10/2023
Request: Since there are two UDC items on the agenda, and since this is the third CDB hearing, we respectfully request the public comment opportunity precede the presentations of the staff and
the CDB questions. It is apparent the citizens who are present are familiar with the UDC
proposal and have something to say about it without having to listen for two hours before their opportunity to speak for three minutes. Then the presentation on the map and the text can occur and the citizens who need to leave can do so; those who want to hear the presentations and Board questions can remain.
There has been some rumbling among persons who are acutely concerned about the UDC proposal that the lengthy presentations by the staff and questions from the Board that precede public comment discourages continued citizen participation. During the previous two hearings, one could feel the rising frustration with the extended presentations and the questions from the
Board. This adjustment to the hearing might mitigate that complaint.
Respectfully submitted, Jack and Jane Jelinski
