This is a place to discuss the forum itself.

If you’ve got a particular subject you’d like to bring to the MCC’s attention, please start a new topic.

The idea is that since people are busy and it’s frequently inconvenient to attend MCC’s meetings, community members can now start new topics in this forum for anything they’d like the MCC to consider.  Other community members can then comment on that topic, for or against.  While the ability of the Council members to engage in discussions of the topics is restricted by the Brown Act, the Council can watch the discussions and based on what we see here, decide which topics are the “hot” ones which the Council should take on and agendize for Council discussion and possible action.

Please create new threads in this forum for each distinct issue.

The MCC’s web site is http://sanmateo.org .  PDF of the agendas are posted there, and printed copies are posted at the 3 post offices in the unincorporated Midcoast because the official posting location—the Council’s office in the Airport Terminal Building aka the Three-Zero Cafe—is a bit off the beaten track for most people.  Page 2 of the agenda now includes a list of topics planned for the next few meetings.

Not sure if I read through everything correctly, but $700K is a nice chunk of change… and there are some great ideas therein. The MCC is in place for a reason/purpose and still has some power left to do something, we need some layman/woman muscle to support and push some baby steps here. We’re seeing too much “think globally, act globally” nee no-growthers, global warming, etc… while the actually short-term “act locally” seems to be a dying breed.

The coast needs to put their oxygen masks on first… then help others, in the event of community and cultural evacuation.

Yeah… because parking is so difficult, it’s the furthest from a central location among the coast (may as well be in Pescadero, right?), noone is really sure where the airport actually is, ... (sarcasm awry). Leonard, it’s far more easy and self-serving to decry any decisions or actions made by the MCC after the fact, and play politico-armchair-quarterback, than it is to be proactive beforehand.

Kevin, if you have specific issues regarding the MCC, please start a new topic for each.  This topic is titled “What are your goals for this forum?”.  I’m interested in trying to understand what you are referring to above, but I do not want to continue a discussion which is off-topic in this thread.  Otherwise this will end up just a big hard-to-follow jumble.
