Metro access: One block east from Metro Bus Route 66, and 2 blocks

Concerns were expressed about prior meeting times during work days. So
this time was chosen to allow for arrival from home after work and
dinner hour.

Complete agenda is forthcoming, but may include the following items,
including some that may be suggested by prospective attendees, and
note suggested times for each item:

I. Call to order - 7:05 pm

B. Type of Resolution(s) to Diverse Ideas about a possible "SDC".
VI. Consideration of Forming Non-Profit Entity to Pursue Proposal
VII. Good of the Order
VIII. Adjournment - 8:30 pm

Special Notes: Suggestions about Attendance and Conduct: This meeting
is inclusive and open to all Seattle residents who support this
initial proposal in
general. Those who oppose this proposal are also welcome to attend.
But the intent of this meeting is to support and refine this proposal
into a form that  is feasible for favorable consideration by the
Seattle City Council and Mayor.

Therefore, opponents of this proposal are welcome to form and attend
their own meeting(s) so as to contribute to a fuller, public
discussion if one is
desirable. Meeting may be divided into "caucuses" based on support or
opposition, and may be further divided if necessary.

Attendees are not required to demonstrate that they have a disability.
 Since it is a personal question, albeit some disabilities may be
apparent to
others, you should not be asked, nor expected to ask, who among
attendees has a disability. Attendees are, however, free to volunteer
that information at their own discretion.

Thank you for your support of the proposal

Sincerely,

Julian Wheeler,
Volunteer Convener, &
UDCC Member.
