[Durham INC] FW: SCAD Coming up for a hearing and a vote on Monday

[tom miller]

Here are my five essays ABOUT SCAD.  It is best to write a short, polite e-mail.  You can draw on these, but do not just copy them and send them to the council.  That is not persuasive.

 

The agenda for the meeting Monday was not posted when I checked this afternoon, but the mayor told me that the hearing and possible vote will happen Monday night, November 20.  The meeting is at 7 p.m. at City Hall.  Please write and turn out.

Does anyone have a brief statement outlining some of the worst effects of SCAD?  Does anyone have a draft email to send to City Council members about why we oppose it?  I want to share on my neighborhood listserv, but I feel I need to give some kind of suggestions about what to write.

 

Thank you, Liz Conroy, Colony Park

SCAD is coming up for a hearing and a vote at the city council meeting on Monday, November 20.  The meeting starts at 7 p.m.  When SCAD came before the council in August, the proponents saw so many opponents in the room, they asked for a delay of ninety days and a “task force.”  Their request was granted.  The effect of this was to ride the opponents off their peak and to push the decision past the election and take the pressure off the council members who were candidates.  The task force met, but accomplished nothing – the proponents didn’t want to accomplish anything.  More on that in the attached piece “About SCAD The Task Force.”

 

We need to produce as many opponents’ e-mails to council as we can.  We need to have as many speakers at the hearing as we can generate.  The council e-mail address is  <mailto:citycouncilonly at durhamnc.gov> Email the Council Members .

 

Please circulate this message among your e-mail lists.  In addition to the most recent “About SCAD” piece, there are four more that were written in August. I will send these to you over the next few days so they are digestible.

 

Thanks.
