It is part of the overall Salem Comprehensive Planning process required by the State, but few people know this. Also, few people have even seen the document, let alone read it. The committee that worked on it was heavily ladden with business people and when they started to ask question or want dialog were 'moved along' by staff due to time constraints. So, very little analysis was even done at that level. <br /><br />I know that very few NA saw the document. It was presented in a 10 minute slide show to NA chairs some months ago, but no real discussion was allowed.<br /><br />My guess is that no NA will comment on the topic at Council.<br /><br />Even the Councilors themselves have likely read it or understood it. At the work session some time ago, it was clear some did not even know what it was about or what it should be about.<br /><br />Salem is NOT doing comprehensive planning! They are going through the motions to get compliant with State statues only. It is a disappointment and will come back to haunt us. Again another lost opportunity for Salem.Susann Kaltwassernoreply@blogger.com
