AGUA DULCE AIRPARK ISSUE

ACTION PLAN OUTLINE:

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

 

AGUA DULCE TOWN COUNCIL INTENT & PURPOSE:

At the Town Council meeting of February 23, 2005, the ADTC unanimously approved a proposal to request an Action Plan from each of the groups, organizations, and individuals that have stated a public position on the Agua Dulce Airpark issue.

 

The entire Agua Dulce Community, including the Town Council, deserves to receive a thorough, thoughtful, but concise outline of each group’s Plan of Action (POA) that states the group’s, organization’s, or individual’s (hereinafter: “Group”) goal(s), and the methods they intend to use to achieve them. It is not the Town Council’s intention to force any entity to divulge tactical information that would jeopardize the Group’s desired end result. However, the ADTC and Community need to know your Plan, and the answers to the following points, before considering support for any Group’s position.

 

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE:

       The ADTC has approved an Action Plan Outline that has been sent to each of the identified groups involved in the Airpark issue (a copy follows.) Any other group/organization/individual that feels they have a unique position or point of view that is not covered by the organizations listed below may also complete and submit the Action Plan Outline.

Identified Groups

      • Agua Dulce Airpark
      • Agua Dulce Civic Association (ADCA)
      • Concerned Citizens of Agua Dulce (CCAD)

      • Overall / Brink Group
      • Cangiano / Eye on Agua Dulce (EOAD)
      • Acton/Agua Dulce Natural History Club
      • Any other groups wishing to participate

 

TOWN COUNCIL ACTIONS:

In order to be flexible, since we understand the demands on busy organizations, groups and individuals, we encourage each to submit its Action Plan as soon as possible. Communication must be via email Word document attachment sent to AguaDulceCouncil@aol.com.
