Restructure Implementation Report<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><FONT face=Garamond><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Dear Council
Members;<BR><BR>Based on the active email discussion prior to Thanksgiving, I
have taken the liberty of creating a new draft version of the Council’s
required report to the Board on its plans for transitioning to the new
bicameral Council structure by June 2009.<BR><BR>I addition to using some
specific text recommendations by Philip Sheppard and Chuck Gomes in the
introductory section, I am hopeful that I have gotten close to capturing the
spirit of the Council’s discussion on this matter to date. There are a
number of notable changes to which I draw your
attention:<BR><BR></SPAN></FONT>
<OL>
<LI><FONT face=Garamond><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I added a section
suggested by Philip that highlights “fundamental community principles to be
followed.” </SPAN></FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Garamond><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I added a section
suggested by Chuck that highlights “Council implementation priorities.”
</SPAN></FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Garamond><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I streamlined the
“Calendar/Deadlines” section but did not combine/integrate that section with
the “Inventory of Key Processes and Implementation Decisions” section,
pending a final resolution of that list and a decision by the Council on the
order of priority.<BR></SPAN></FONT></LI></OL><FONT face=Garamond><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><BR>Consistent with your discussion during the last
Council meeting, I hope this draft version will make it possible for all
interested parties to edit, comment and move toward a Council agreement on the
list so that a status report can be submitted to the Board by early next
week.<BR><BR>Best regards,<BR><BR>Rob
