Good post Karried! Should hopefully be beneficial to future development. Brewer, Hogan, and OCURA need to attend!!!!

I have heard that OCURA, Brewer, Hogan and the like, have their own round table meeting on May 14, secret time and secret location, of course.

Really wish I could go to this, but once again, it's on a work day.

Maybe we should mention this to the mayor, that if he'd really like a great turnout for civic planning events - he should schedule the events during the evening or on a Saturday.

That way, people could attend without having to take off from work. We need to have people attend - especially since there is a renewed enthusiasm and sense of pride in the city.

Of course, those of us on this and other OKC forums have contributed much - and much of this could serve as a starting point for any round-table planning type discussions for sure. But to support this, it would be nice to have a few of us at these meetings.

Would someone like to volunteer to draft a message to the mayor about the time?
