[WEC-Env] Our Envt Committee Presentation:DRAFT "messages"attached

[Larry Reed]

I agree with Gary, this topic is too global to address as part of one
section of our community and will nothing to help us solve -coming to
consensus on a plan for west Eugene. I'm supportive of the environmental
goals but not because they are part of addressing climate change. If
this topic is included you are LOSING me.

All,
I am fine with being a part of the presentation. I will start working on
some comments for the Soils & Hydrology portion. I would agree that
global warming and toxins are environmental issues, but I am less
convinced that they are specific to the WEC's area of focus. I think
that a few comments relating to global warning and toxins will not
distract from our report. If we open the door too widely we may find
that the WEC might get bogged down and will not be able to come to
consensus on these issues. 
	Just a few thoughts,
	Gary

Hi, all (from Ontario, OR):

Attached is a draft of our messages. I've tried to capture what we
discussed. Any suggested changes should be based on what we all seemed
to agree on, yes?  Fifteen minutes will go FAST, so we can't really add
much MORE, but you all may have suggestions for making it more accurate
as to what we discussed.

Once we agree on messages, by email we could also decide who presents
what.  How about Jan Wostmann and Gary Wildish splitting the
presentation? ---would be good to have folks that haven't talked that
much in meetings; we'd all be there to help answer any questions, e.g.,
about the data for the maps)

Then maybe on Oct. 19, those who are presenting could do a run-through
so we could check that it fits in 15 minutes;  and make any suggestions.

We'd probably have a handout summarizing everything, with the URL for
the maps on the WEC website and giving details on the field trip Nov.
19?

I think it will be good to get all four issues out on the table --- only
takes a minute to present the last two, but then the Collaboration won't
feel blind-sided when they get raised later.

Wednesday night is the last time I might be on email until next Tuesday.
But then again, I might be at a motel with internet.  Even Ute-ah has
that!
