At the September Study Session a list of potential topics for the Envision SPS Committee was generated by board members. While continued discussion will take place with the board concerning future topics, the following list is provided as a starting point for discussion purposes. Feel free to comment on the existing list and suggest any resources (websites, books, articles, etc.) that you may think will assist our committee during the discussions.

As a reminder to the public, please feel free to comment and make recommendations on this site as well. WE WELCOME YOUR INPUT.

A synopsis of future committee meetings will be provided on this site.
