Shirt Lamonna, Oro Valley resident, commented on the stakeholders listed on Page 16 and wants to ensure staff was taking into consideration the pending legislation in the Arizona Senate and House. SB1403 is a bill that is still waiting for review in the House. SB1403 prohibits the implementation of some of the United Nations Agenda 21 sustainability development issues in the State. If SB1403 passes it could change the scope of work of what's being done here. 04/02/2013 Planning and Zoning Commission Page 3 of 5 Bill Adler, Oro Valley resident, stated that staff has looked at the process of gaining ratification as a selling job. If you are selling something you need to know more about it than anybody else. This is the wrong attitude, it will ensure people to vote against it rather than for it. If you're successful with outreach, people start reading the plan. There are plenty of people to reach, the questions are how they are going to be reached and what's going to be told to them. It must not be a lecture, it needs to be engagement and discussion. John Musolf, Oro Valley resident, stated that there is no need for a new name for the General Plan. Mr. Musolf stated that this is the first time the Public Participation Plan has been made public and he suggested continuing the Public Participation Plan until more people have looked at it.
