Agenda Recommendations

The following was emailed to Joint Study Committee members and Elected Officials of Clayton and RH on 9/24/2005.

You may wish to add to the proposed agenda (that was published on the merger website) a review of the purpose for the study and the history leading to the two cities even considering such a significant measure as merger. This would include:

+Defining the critical problems that would prompt even considering a merger
+Tracing the history of each problem
+Discussing what has been tried to remedy each problem
+Indicating why such remedies have failed
+Identifying other alternatives that were considered and elaborating why they were ruled out
+Explaining why it is believed all viable options have been exhausted
