this type of meeting might lead to some better alternatives and outcomes by involving
the entire community.

decide the Wal Mart issue.

gave a PowerPoint presentation regarding campaign contributions for Atascadero
0 Elections from 2000-2006.

creek setback issue, as there has been a lot of misinformation and this would help clear
it up.

stated that because the community is deeply divided over creek setbacks, they fully
support a town hall meeting on the issue.
Bruce Bevans commented that a public forum on creek setbacks was a good idea,
spoke in favor of some kind of campaign finance regulation with wide public comment,

hall meeting on creek setbacks, she would like it to include representatives for the rights
