Council Member Sherman requests a board meeting to discuss further use of the Martha Gold Senior Center in Redwood Hills. The Senior Center facilities needs to be shared and an agreement among all parties needs to be discussed and drawn up.
Nicky- Representative D.Kline- for Ad Hoc Coalitions
Dawn- The Senior's Club
Laura-Faciliatator
Bill-Sherman -Town Council
Amy-N.Vie- AAA
This actually went well. I believe part of the reason why it did, was becuase there was an Agenda handy, which gave points as to what we were going to discuss. We all had a copy. We also knew the groundrules, which is very important to discuss in a group meeting.
It was also written that we were to pledge or urged us to make an effort to reach agreement. I think the faciliator did a great job, but I didn't really want a faciliator interjecting in this particular meeting. The faciliator did serve well in repeating or summarizing where we were in our negotiation. I think we could have taken notes though. I tend to think that without a faciliator we could have quite easily reached an agreement.
This went smooth and it did appear that everyone was readily willing to voice their needs and learn the needs of others, which created a fun and pleasant atmosphere. We were able to come to an agreement rather quickly. As Dr. Strange pointed out, we all were willing to sacrifice a little for the good of the other. I believe that had a lot to do with the non-profit organization good will.
