Councilman Murray thought the distinction was very critical because it was the only way of assuring basic tenants e required by the city for neighborhood groups and to maintain the required official relationship. With regard to the Fairmount Neighbors letter, Mr. Murray said he disagreed with the statement that the neighborhood groups didn't have a voice in land use planning. He said that although the groups were advisory, they did have a very significant voice. But their comments on fhe evaluation team, he said, were pertinent. He said he would prefer a balanced team and noted that selection of the team was not spelled out in the proposal.
