Resident question regarding a comparative document when the new Charter is completed.

[Mark Douglas]

Please see below, my exchange with a resident this morning:

“Mark Douglas I know you all have been working really hard on thos for months. Thanks for Volunteering..Also when you finish will you have the comparison to the old one of what you have changed?”

My reply:

“I believe so. That being said, we were tasked with creating a total rewrite. So I’m not sure how we’d create a comparison document.

It’s a good question. I’m going to bring it to the committee in that message board I linked.”

Mark, thanks for posting the question. To your point, since this goes beyond simple editing, a side by side "redline" may not be practical nor useful as sections are moved/added/deleted. Our current working copy "redline" is already messy and we continue to make edits. That said, I do believe our final report must call out all substantive differences between our final draft and the current charter in a clear, meaningful way.
