Many variations of the above were discussed. Councilor McLain stated her concern that the quality of the work performed under such tight timelines, not be compromised. In general, it was discussed that extending the time lines for a better work product was more acceptable than having a reduction in the quality of the ultimate work performed. It was stressed that informing the citizens of any possible time extension was significant since so much citizen support had already been invested, and to safeguard citizen faith in Metro’s commitment.

 

The Committee narrowed the choices down to Plan 2 (possibly 2a) and Plan 5. The important message to be received by the region is that Metro is pushing as hard as it can to get everything done.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,
