Said oversight committee will then have responsibility for taking the steering committee's report out to consultation with the wider public. Given the varied routes for input I would suggest the consultation period be set at no less than 6 months.
The whole thing, including public consultation feedback can then be passed to an external agency to work up into a usable form which we can then vote on.

I'm not bitter about about the local government either.
So let's get together next week to go over the proper format for bringing the question about doing it, to the proper members, and think on ways to increase the efficiency of doing it. There are contractors that have done it with us in the past that should probably be consulted before we really work out the format and framework of the question and how it is to be posed to the committee. I can send them an e-mail tomorrow and see if they can advise on an appropriate meeting time, and we can go over the initial question and nail down the finer points, as well as go over the previous rfp, and what they have been contracted to do with us in the past, and amend the agreement as needed. Now I know that they have been really busy over there and might not get back to my e-mail quickly so we might have to set this out for a couple of days. Oh, and please back up all communications about doing it with the appropriate time stamp as we need to go over the policies and procedures for this project, and it needs to be reviewed by all parties. The files should all be marked by date of correspondance and they need to be faxed to someone on the state level. If you have any questions about how to proceed, please leave it in my voicemail as I will be out of town and need to streamline all communications in that box for now.
Thank you for your continued action on these items, as we all know that this is time-sensitive. We can go over that with everyone later this week.
