PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Are there viable alternatives to the model that we have here in Elmira? The answer is yes and in fact we have two different models currently in Elmira. There is the model that has been underway for years at Sulco Chemical which is a citizens advisory panel that convenes 3 or 4 times per year. There is also the CPAC model which convenes 6-9 times per year and which currently is a committee of council. Both of these models have their advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps a serious reexamination is in order in regards to our current model which is giving the Chemtura Public Advisory Committee such difficulties.
