[WEC-Coord] For Communications Committee - and Coordinating Committee call

[Rob Zako]

Dear Kitty... and WEC Coordination and Communication Committees,

It occurs to me that John and Dennis will be in town on Tuesday, June 10,
even though our meeting that day has been rescheduled for late June. And
some of the out-of-state speakers for the Lane County Moving Forward
Together conference the following day will be getting into town on Tuesday
also.

We have thought about opportunities to get more bang for the buck from our
speakers, and to organize some kind of informal discussion, perhaps even
focused on west Eugene.

I don¹t know if the stars would align, but what if we had some kind of ad
hoc meeting with Sen. Prozanski, Rep. Holvey, a few of us, and one or two
out of town experts?

Or am I overreaching and this doesn¹t make any sense?

In any case, I would welcome making an opportunity for both Sen. Prozanski
and Rep. Holvey to be involved in some manner in our next regular WEC
meeting. We are working in their districts, and I know both are very
concerned about transportation issues and the lack of progress.

Committee call

Hello all,
Thanks for your work on this. I want to bring up another very, very
important communication. Senator Prozanski and Representative Holvey are
both very concerned about West 11th and on out to Veneta.  They think our
work is too slow. They have ideas of their own. They think it has to happen
quickly. They would be willing to go to bat for the right idea/s. If we do
not invite them in ASAP, they may go without us. I suggest that we may want
to invite them to speak to the WEC about their concerns and recommendations
right now.  I don¹t think a small group meeting will do it. I think they
need to see the breadth of the group and to know that we want to hear from
them.  This is one of those important moments in the evolution of the WEC.
Kitty
