The presentation included the CPR's ground rules, criteria for selecting a process, <br /> working principles and the vision statement. Lave reviewed the "helps and hindrances" <br /> that could impact a resolution to the dispute. <br /> Lave noted the six options the forum had studied. For each option, the CPR had defined <br /> the pros and cons and what mitigations would help to bring the option to resolution. <br /> Mitigations for each option included the financial implications, community issues and <br /> "everything else". <br /> Lave reviewed with Council the possible next steps in the process that could include a <br /> report to the community and the implementation of a method to build trust between the <br /> communities and stakeholders in the dispute. He noted that the CPR was asking the two <br /> schools to acknowledge their work and to report to their constituents. <br /> Mayor O'Malley, on behalf of the Council and the Town, thanked Roy Lave and the <br /> Committee for their efforts. O'Malley asked if the CPR had any plans to distill the <br /> options to a smaller, more manageable number. Lave responded that this had been their <br /> intent but they had been limited by time constraints. He hoped this would be addressed in <br /> the near future. <br /> Councilmember Jones questioned if the option of redistricting had been evaluated by the <br /> Committee. Lave offered that it had been minimally reviewed but not considered as an <br /> option and he would suggest it when the CPR reconvenes their meetings. <br /> Council thanked Lave for the wealth of information and the work the Community Process <br /> for Reconciliation had done to assist in resolving the dispute. <br /> 2.2 Request for Support of Application to Congressional Page Program-Laura Ryan <br /> Council had before them a proposed resolution prepared by Laura Ryan, Los Altos Hills <br /> resident.
