Charles Sims, 304 Oakridge Dr, spoke as a representative of Open San Marcos and wished to address items specifically on the top ten list. He stated that item #4 was probably the most important one to the group, and it will probably be the hardest one to obtain because it will take a charter amendment to accomplish it. He stated that one time up for zoning creates a lot of problems. He stated that zonings blow up in this town because people feel like they didn't receive enough notice. He stated that they reached a compromise on this and they agree with City Staff that 3 readings were too much. Item #9 ties into this because we need to utilize every tool that is available always defaulting to openness and notification. Default to the open. Debbie Harvey, 1116 Mountain View Dr, was present to ask for support for Open San Marcos' Resolution for transparency in our Local Government, and to support those first ten items that would enhance that transparency for openness. Rob Roark, 1804 A Hunter Rd, thanked the Council for listening to all the people of Open San Marcos. What you have before you is a year's worth of work of Citizens getting together on their own time. He urged Council to take this as a legacy, a legacy of openness. Please adopt the ten as they are right now. CONSENT AGENDA 8. Consider approval of the August 2, 2011 Regular Meeting Minutes. 9.
