<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Moscow,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'm saddened to hear that Jon was
removed from Moscow's BOA. I have great respect for his thoughtfulness
with decisions. While on the BOA with Jon, I had my frustrations with
policy, and I could sense some of his frustration with how statutes do
not = justice. Anyone grasping Zoning and development regulation well
enough will understand where they fail and need improvement. It's
difficult to be in a position, having your hands tied by governing policy,
knowing that better policy or better citizen communication would lead to better
community. Often, seeing where failings exist doesn't happen until a
real-life situation arises that exposes it. There's no
quick-change-to-policy to accomodate a just solution. Jon was a thoughtful
member of the BOA and his departure will be felt, because of the knowledge he
brought into the process. Someone else will take his place, but I doubt
that person will have the level of understanding that Jon did, until they have
sat on the BOA for many years to come.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Joel was also an asset for the City
of Moscow. He spent a lot of time wth the City and his institutional
knowledge leaves with him. Joel grew into his position, from before Dale's
leaving and afterwards. A city planner's role is a tough one to be
in. You're hardly ever given the resources to truly plan for the
community's future, rather you are being reactive to what developers
bring. The limitations of established Zoning & Comprehensive Plans are
your planning tools. One's standards & guidebook for community
development ... not a shed-full, nor very sharp tools. The best that can
come from Joel's departure is him being able to move-on professionally &
personally to another level. I hope he finds something that suits him
well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I don't know what Nancy's role has
been in these two changes for Moscow, but it will be interesting to see what the
future brings, if for no other reason than Moscow has lost a significant and
worthy part of its past.</FONT></DIV>
