Citizen Comment Period <br />Maxfield Baker addressed the Council to express concern that the city at times <br />dismisses the professional -level expertise offered by community members. <br />Baker stated that genuine experts are open to dialogue, even when ideas <br />conflict, and noted that staff can appear defensive when residents provide <br />well-informed input. Mr. Baker urged the Council to engage more <br />meaningfully with community experts rather than disregarding their <br />contributions, particularly given that the city pays consultants for similar <br />feedback. <br />PRESENTATIONS <br />City of San Marcos Page 1 <br />
