- Prologue
- The meeting moved into a committee of the whole to discuss the FMDC motion.
- Discussion:
- - A question around "vision" .... We have a vision statement (Mission Statement) that has no life and a strategic plan that does. How does a vision come to life ?
- - FMD was complimented on bringing forth good ideas, which should, perhaps, be directed to PAT for its consideration.
- - This can only be helpful input to COGS at this time. Need to wait to hear what emerges from the consultations. It is premature to make a commitment to the visioning process, timeframe, etc. at this point.
- - Perceives the planning process since 1992 as far too complex and not doing the job it's supposed to. This motion calls for a simpler, less complex plan and we should look at it.
- - The strategic plan has not had an opportunity to work because alterations have had to be made to it over the years.
- - Sees in the strategic plan an inability to respond to the grass roots issues.
- - If the need is for simplicity and clarity, it is needed in this motion.
