Initial Study Group Meeting Agenda
7 am, April 24, 2002
Northrim Bank Building 5th Floor Conference Room
Jon Kumin and Steve Reiger, co-chairs

Introductions – Co-chairs, participants and staff support. Please briefly state any areas of special interest and/or conflicts of interest.

Meeting Plans and Ground-rules - Weekly meetings are proposed; Wednesdays at 7am, same location unless prior notice is given. Given the large group, every effort will made to allow input from all parties while respecting each participant’s time.

Review of Study Group Charge – The charge was developed with significant input from the Commonwealth North Board. The study group will respond to the charge to the best of our collective abilities.

Work Plan Overview – The plan is to wrap the study up in approximately 6 months, or by the end of October. Three broad phases are envisioned – research, debate, and conclusions.

Communications Procedures – The CWN website and e-mail will be primary communication tools. Communications should be routed through the CWN office as a central clearinghouse to assure thorough dissemination.

Confirm next meeting and adjourn by 8 am – The intent is to keep meetings to one hour. Circumstances may encourage stretching that to 1:15 on rare occasion. Past that, we turn into pumpkins.
