This email is from an external source. Use caution responding to it, opening attachments or clicking links.

 


Now that the Technical Advisory Committee  for the Davis Square Plan has been chosen I would appreciate having a) a list of the members, b)a list of the selection committee.  If these have been publicly posted, links would suffice.

 

Thank you,

 

Lee Auspitz

Lee for the win with the public records request!

Is that actually Rachel Rosenberg who has been active in the DSNC (I think also active in Davis Square Village?), or a different Rachel Rosenburg?

For those who may be new to local politics, Paul Christie is on the DSNC board, the owner of Davis Squared, a resident on Meacham Road, and in leadership at the Davis Square Merchants Association.

Congrats to the appointees and thank you for volunteering to provide technical assistance.

-B.

Hi Chris,

Yes, that’s in fact me.  Just with a typo in my last name (“burg” vs. “berg”). So there are two DSNC folks on the TAC!

Best,
Rachel

Hi everyone. Catherine Venturini is a member of DSNC, so we actually have three members.  And there's nothing to prevent us from recruiting the full list!

Regards,
Frank

Aha! I'm glad the fact that you are a Cambridge resident was not an impediment to getting on a Somerville city advisory board.
