4.      Old/New Business  

Old Business:

A. Staff Comments on Multipoint Interactive Meeting Staff Report. Ms. Moran presented staff’s position on this item. She noted that the Town does not outsource its work products to volunteers because our work products must consistently be of professional quality.  

B. CONTINUATION FROM 10/07/04 MEETING - How ISAB interacts with Council and types of projects they want to be involved with (i.e. Celebrate Cary, Focus on Cary, Envision Cary). Note: this is the last “high priority” item from the ISAB’s 2004 Goals and Objectives list.  

Mr. Keely stated that he felt ISAB serve Council via two channels: 1) through tasks assigned by Council and 2) by generating ideas to put before Council. He stated that overall he feels the ISAB is doing what it needs to be doing.  

Mr. Murray stated that he appreciated the fact that Ms. Robison regularly attended ISAB meetings, and that as a result, the Board’s morale seems to have risen.  

New Business:  

A. Web Assessment Poll results. Mr. Murray stated that the results were better than he expected with the exception of organization. Board members noted continuing issues with the Town’s search engine. Mr. Keely asked who owns the content of the site – words, colors, graphics, etc. Ms. Moran stated that the Public Information Office was responsible for content and suggested a possible meeting of the ISAB and Mark Andrews, Public Information Specialist-Writer to discuss tool/management processing.  

Ms. Rathgeber reminded Board members that February 2005 would be the goal setting sessions and that she would have a draft End of Year Report to the Board shortly.
