Seattle SMP CAC Report, First Draft

The FHA recently received the first draft of the CAC's Final Report from Michael Kern, the consultant engaged by the city to run the committee process.  The report is attached here and Michael's comments follow.

Dear Seattle SMP CAC Members:

As promised, attached please find the first draft of the Committee's report on its discussions, deliberations and findings.  Please review the document and use Word's Track Changes command if possible to **provide your comments by Tuesday, May 19.**  We will incorporate those comments and get a second draft out to you a week ahead of the June 2 meeting.

Recall that the target audiences for this report are the City Council and Planning Commission, alongside the general public, so the emphasis has been on creating a concise summary-style document.  Your member list, the policy and response papers, meeting summaries and visioning exercise write-up will all be attached as appendices to provide a more detailed record of your interactions.

Many thanks to Dave Robison for working so hard to distill a vast amount of information down to a concise summary.  Thanks also to John Owen and Mark Johnson for helping think through the structure and reviewing the content. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can answer any questions about the draft report or the process to come.
