South Bend Redcvclopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Recrular Meeting ...._...June , 2007 <br />4. COMMUNICATIONS (CONT.) <br />procedures give the impression that the <br />Commission doesn't want participation, then <br />perception becomes reality. If low income people <br />don't feel they can participate, or if those that <br />would advocate for them can't get access to do so, <br />we need to change our procedures so that they can. <br />If Commissioner can't participate because it takes <br />too much time, then it's better for those <br />Commissioners to resign and allow others who can <br />meet at more convenient times to he appointed. If <br />it "s necessar. y to have a 10:00 and a :00 or 6;00 <br />meeting, we ought to do it in order to increase <br />participation now that people want to participate. <br />That's not impossible. it's time consuming. But if <br />that's what it takes in order to bring more people to <br />the process, then that's what we have to do, <br />because that "s the Taff thing to do. <br />Ms.. ones noted that Commissioners have limited. <br />control. we will take a look at state statntc to see <br />what our guidelines are. <br />Mr. Blake stated that when the state makes statutes <br />that do not allow people to participate, then the <br />state needs to change its statutes as well. From <br />realistic standpoint, it becomes an attitude that <br />either it's go eminent for the people, by the people <br />or it's a bunch of crap. without calling it what it <br />really is, then you can never change it. It is time to <br />change that. . <br />Mr. Wolfson noted that there are some very <br />speeif �c s��g cstions the Community `o n is <br />making: allowing opportunity at the end of the <br />meeting for people to say things the sane way the <br />Common Co nc .1l sloes; allowing some more <br />public input during the meeting at points of <br />importance to the public; publishing things on the <br />Web site that are coming up before the meeting so <br />people can he prepared. <br />10 <br />
