Many of you received the below e-mail from Frank Burdick regarding the TOAG and community values. I would like to clarify that the purpose of the TOAG is primarily technical in nature (that's the "T" in "TOAG"). While they also have some members with public engagement/communications background, the technical aspects are their main focus.  The community values aspect of what we are doing is entirely up to the CAC to weigh in on.

I thought YOU might be interested in the lack of understanding of the OVERARCHING TOAG leader regarding Community Values.  

 

 

As a FOCUS GROUP I thought you may be interested in the responses from Dick Hinchon, (the speaker from the most recent focus group meeting).

 

Robert C. from OHM has previously stated that large part of the mission for the Citizen Volunteers is to provide direction and input into the Community Values of your mission. Considering that Mr. Hinshon will be leading the charge to OVERSEE all of YOUR efforts and supposed suggested recommendations, I think it is important that you understand that the lack of knowledge or direction possibly not given to the TOAG, by the City concerning this, most crucial, issue.

 

 

Good luck,
