Subject: Ward Meeting regarding development at Sailwinds

  Fellow citizens,

     A couple of weeks ago, Council decided to have a public work session to discuss the possible release of a Request For Proposal (RFP) for development of the Sailwinds property.  The mayor at that time did not favor public input at the work session and she asked the commissioners to poll their wards regarding the proposed release of an RFP.  I subsequently arranged to have a meeting with my constituents and I have that set up for this Thursday, Feb. 11, at City Council Chambers at 6:30 P.M.  A couple of days ago, the mayor changed her mind about taking public comments on Feb. 17, so there may be some opportunity to do so then as well.

     The advantage of attending this Thursday is that you will likely have a smaller crowd and more opportunity to get information and to share your thoughts.  I am hoping that you would be willing to complete a short survey during our get-together.  I would use that information to express the sentiment of my ward at the meeting on the 17th.  If you cannot attend this Thursday and would like to complete the survey, let me know and I will send it to you via email.

     Please feel free to forward this email to your neighbors!  If you want to copy me, I will add their email addresses to my list so that, in the future, I can contact them directly to let them know what is going on, both on Sailwinds and other matters of interest.

     Again the meeting is this Thursday, Feb 11, at 6:30 at City Council Chambers, 305 Gay St.  I have asked Commissioner Hanson to join us as he sits on the Sailwinds Committee and is quite knowledgeable about the history of this project.  Please feel free to contact me via email or by phone.  My cell is 443-205-3263.

Sincerely,

Frank Cooke,

3rd Ward Commissioner
