He stated the Facility <br />Committee spent a lot of time on this, and to have another group come in will be challenging. <br />He could see some what ifs, but Would hate to see the model change too much. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook stated if it is changed too much it will be moving away from the original <br />intention of the Facility Committee. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon indicted the TCTAC is just an advisory <br />committee, and if the Council wants a certain look, that is the way it will go.
