MV2040 Committee Creates Arts Sub-Group, Identifies Core Values

Follow up to GPAC meeting from May 24, 2012.

I am very pleased to share that last week's joint meeting of the General Plan Advisory Committee and the three Working Groups was quite productive.  

  • First, we pressed ahead with the creation of a Community Vitality sub-group dedicated to the into the .  
  • Second, we articulated and fleshed out the core values that will guide the working groups and GPAC work over the next year, and in doing so added a new value focused on arts and culture.
  • Third, we articulated the priority topics that will form the basic framework for the Working Group efforts over the next 8 months. These topics will be dovetailed with goals, policies & programs, and then delivered to the GPAC for review.

I am also pleased to share this link to an excellent workbook presented by city staff to the public at the meeting. There is an enormous amount of information in the workbook, including facts, statistics, and demographic information that is very interesting to read even if you are not following the General Plan workflow but are simply a "Mill Valley" lover.

Other than that, I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend, spent in the memory of those who served. It is always one of the best weekends in Mill Valley.  

Of course, a big and gateway to Marin!

So wish I could be there for the Memorial Day Parade and picnic. I used to join in the fun forRead More years!

I guess I can't hit the enter button because that submits the post so from now on (until they fixRead More the problem), all of my posts will be one paragraph. What Angelina did was her choice, based on the multi-billion dollar per cancer industry, and by the people that like do unnecessary surgeries to line their pockets. Ask one of those male doctors if he is willing to have his testicles removed "just in case" he might get testicular cancer in the future. I'll bet that they would laugh at anyone who proposed that question. There are many ways that people can take care of their bodies to prevent cancer, like taking vitamin D, magnesium, selenium, turmeric and many more anti-inflammatory herbs. Also diet and environmental factors play a role in the pre-disposition to get cancer. In most cases, genes only play about a 5% role in a chance of inheriting or contracting cancer. But this big business of cancer research doesn't want hear about anything else besides expensive pharmaceutical drugs and surgery, anything else would threaten their business model. This post is a test of the new Patch commenting system.

Yes, and she also announced that she is considering having her ovaries removed also.

Thanks Jim W. for your reply and explaining things to us. I look forward to a new Patch where peopleRead More are more considerate of other's opinions. I hope the new filters get rid of the hacker/trolls. And by the way, if you don't port over the comments about the transgender shower sharing article that I glanced at last night, you will be doing all of us a favor !

Thanks Rico. You make great points. We had a bit of a tech glitch in that some content from earlierRead More this week did not migrate over yet to the new sites - but it'll all be there soon. And yes, we'll have more info on how to navigate the site. I'll direct you here with any specific questions for now: https://patchsupport.zendesk.com/home But if that doesn't cover it or if you'd prefer to ask me, feel free - happy to help. And that goes for anyone out there with a question about how to get around on the new site.
