She distributed a memorandum containing suggestions to assist in the discussion (copy attached). A lengthy discussion ensued about creating a strategy to present to the Council for the creation of a Blue Ribbon Committee and several suggestions were offered. SPAC ultimately determined: (1) that a targeted list of individuals should be approached who have the welfare of the Town of Fountain Hills at heart in order to ascertain their interest in serving on a Blue Ribbon Committee if the Council were to appoint them; and (2) that each individual should be approached with a one-page "problem statement" that clearly details the issues at hand. Chair Koester Thomas asked that each commissioner think about people who should be considered for the Blue Ribbon Committee and bring those names to the next SPAC meeting. She asked that commissioners refrain from emailing names in order to avoid potential conflicts with Open Meeting Law. Chair Koester Thomas asked for assistance in drafting the "problem statement," and Commissioners Dooley and Spiker indicated their willingness to participate. Chair Koester Thomas and Vice Chair Dunham will devise an initial draft. If necessary, Shaunna Williams will assist in circulating the initial and subsequent drafts of the document prior to the next SPAC meeting.
