Subject:Comments by Eric Greening on Agenda Item #8 on July 7th Agenda
Hello!
Please do NOT act on Item #8 on the Consent Agenda of the July 7th Council meeting. It sets a terrible precedent to
remove someone from an advisory body for reasons as vague as are given in the packet. If an action as drastic as
removal were appropriate, it must be based on specific and documented misdeeds, and no evidence of any is
presented. Dissent from majority opinion is NOT a misdeed; a wide, rather than narrow, range of informed and clearly
expressed views adds to the quality of any advisory body's work, giving the Council the benefit of a fuller picture than
would be the case if a precedent were set here for narrowing the scope of acceptable advice. Please thank Mr. Papp for
his willingness to continue to serve, allow him to do so, and listen to his advice as you should listen to the advice of all
members of all your advisory committees, so that your decisions can be influenced by the widest possible spectrum of
relevant information and informed opinion.
Many thanks, and STAY WELL!! Eric Greening
