While valu- <br />ing the opinions and thoughts by advisory commissions on the issues, whether he <br />agreed with them or not, Councilmember Willmus suggested beginning the pro- <br />cess by June 15. <br />Councilmember McGehee agreed with Councilmember Etten and Mayor Roe that <br />this was a living document, but it was important to get it going. Toward those ef- <br />forts, Councilmember McGehee noted that this discussion was available to Coun- <br />cilmember Laliberte via various means and providing her with the ability to re- <br />spond to the discussion for the benefit of the Ciry Council and staff, not delaying <br />the process any further. <br />Mayor Roe thanked staff for their participation throughout this process and for <br />their presentations tonight, expressing appreciation from the City Council for this <br />team effort between the body and staff. <br />Mayor Roe opened the meeting for public comment at this time for those in at- <br />tendance at tonight's meeting. <br />Public Comment <br />Lisa McCormick, Wheeler Street <br />Ms. McCormick apologized for her comments at the last meeting if she had come <br />across as being harsh with the City Council, stating that was not her intent.

Ms. McCormick, in watching the Retreat afterwards <br />and reading the meeting notes and hearing City Manager Trudgeon's summary in <br />his closing comments, stated that she found them moving, in addition to Coun- <br />cilmember Laliberte's comments about community building community and <br />working together in partnership. In that way, Ms. McCormick noted she had first <br />heard about customer intimacy; and clarified that she did not view herself as a <br />customer, but wanted to feel she offered a contribution and wanted to participate <br />in her community. <br />However, in reading this report, Ms. McCormick noted her concerns, since she <br />had paid attention to the other aspects, and the results portrayed by staff.
