The Subcommittee decided to discuss the neighborhood association ordinance version as a starting point, while also considering suggestions from Mr. Van Eaton’s draft. Under public comment, Nina Beety expressed concerns regarding issues with the two prong approach, saying phase 1 should be for more important topics and phase 2 for fine tuning.
