PUBLIC CPAC ORIENTATION MEETING THIS MORNING
9 am. at Woolwich Council Chambers or possibly one of the rooms next door , CPAC will hold their "Orientation" meeting prior to the next public CPAC meeting of June 27, 6 pm.. The purpose of this regular meeting is to determine things like Agenda items and who will take the lead on the different CPAC items. Today's meeting will also discuss the Terms of Reference. I am fairly certain that there is a unanimous concern that this document is years if decades out of date and quite frankly for example the voting method which assigns a vote to groups and then lumps citizens (4) together and only gives them one vote is highly undemocratic. These Terms of Reference were supposed to have been updated two years ago but in reality only extremely minor cosmetic changes occurred. This is ironic because the old CPAC falsely claimed that they pulled their applications from consideration because of the "new" Terms of Reference. The truth is they pulled their applications months after the election was over because they had finally figured out that they weren't being reappointed by the new Woolwich Council. It was sort of a face saving device as in resigning prior to being fired sort of thing.
