Commissioner McGinnis stated, "That would make sense to me." Commissioner Krebs remarked, "1 agree with that, but 1 think also that - there should be some type of document that tells you what is there, so we can tell whether it is new or not." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "That is why 1 said, "An indexing system - and have that coincide with the Informational items." Commissioner Gilmore commented, "1 think we need to have a good way to know when stuff comes in there - put a memo on it - if you are putting this out. 1 think your summary - should also include all of the projects on that table there. It should include all of the projects, the square footages, and how many units are going in - this type of information.
