Planning Meeting

On June 9th and 10th, Santa Fe County will be hosting meetings between the public and Planning Works of Leawood, Kansas. Planning Works was hired by Santa Fe County "to help develop an oil-and-gas-extraction ordinance, write an area plan for the Galisteo Basin and finish writing growth-management amendments to the county general plan," Santa Fe New Mexican. Dr. Robert Freilich recommended Planning Works.

From a Drilling Santa Fe email, "Bruce Peshoff of Planning Works in Kansas City (Leawood) will be in Santa Fe June 9th and 10th."He'd like to have discussions with stakeholders to get a personal flavor for the issues and concerns." As you all may know, Drilling Santa Fe has been calling for the County process to be transparent. There are invitations to meet with Bruce Peshoff going out to other organizations and individuals. Many voices in the community should be heard. There are some ways Drilling Santa Fe can help facilitate this and to begin the process in the right way. One way is to send in emails to drillingsantafe@earthlink.net to voice your concerns. I will take those hardcopy emails with me. Another way is that some concerned citizens could attend the meeting with me, but please let me know a head of time.

After the meeting an update will be posted at http://www.drillingsantafe.org or http://drillingsantafe.blogspot.com/ ."


The meeting will be held on June 9th at 4pm at the County building. A useful resource is, "From Sprawl to Smart Growth," by Robert H. Freilich.
