[RP TownTalk] Executive Session

[Vernon Archer]

Friends and neighbors,

I would like to address, and hopefully ease some concerns about the
executive session I called for tonight.  The stated reason for this meeting
is to discuss the location of the Whole Foods in Riverdale Park and that,
and only that, will happen tonight.

Any specific proposals that may come from the meeting--and I certainly hope
there will be some--will be publicly circulated for comment and review.  We,
as elected leaders have been very open to public input, have listened to,
and read all of the input from every position on this matter to date. It is
now time, and the council's duty, to sit down and evaluate all of that input
and decide what we believe is the best way to lead the town on this matter.
The first step cannot be effectively done in open forum and that is why
state law provides for such executive sessions; however, any proposals must
indeed stand the bright light of the public before becoming official town
policy.

At the next work session the proposal(s) (if any actually come out of the
meeting) will be discussed in open forum and if there is need for
legislative action, that action will come at the October legislative
meeting, or at a later meeting still.

Sincerely,

Vern
