- 13. Ground Rules The Summit is where we get ideas on the table. It is NOT where we solve problems. In time, on time, every time, except when a little ahead of time, and thats BETTER time. Each item on the agenda has a time limit to ensure that the discussion and decision-making moves forward. Use your time wisely. Nothing is ultimately removed from or added to the Quality of Life Plan unless 75% of those gathered agree. Everyone can vote. Everyone can speak. Summit Guidelines
- 14. Be kind. Even if we disagree, our goal is to leave tonight as neighbors. Be constructive. Use your time to be part of the solution and not as an opportunity to complain. Share your name before you speak If you wish to speak on an issue, you must use a microphone so all can hear. Summit Guidelines
- 15. Present an idea at a Neighborhood Summit and propose a taskforce to explore the idea You will need 50% of the summit attendee vote to form a taskforce If you win the vote, schedule a time to meet with the taskforce after the summit to flesh out the idea. Attend the next Summit and present your findings and action item. You will need 75% of the summit attendee vote to have the action item added to the Quality of Life plan. Adding Items to the Plan
- 16. If you dont win the vote, dont give up! Use the feedback received from the neighbourhood to make your idea better than before. Present your idea again at a future summit. Adding Items to the Plan
- 17. Instructions You will hear from neighbors who would like to propose an idea. Each presenter has 2 minutes to introduce his/her idea. Spend 15 minutes discussing your favourite proposal with the presenter, and developing a SMART goal for the potential taskforce Re-convene. Presenters will present their SMART goals for the vote. Attendees will vote on proposals and fill out their summit engagement forms.

- #13: Thank you Melissa. Up next well get into our Quality of Life Action Items. If youve been following the E-News, keeping up with neighborhood announcements, and if you attended the last Summit, then youll know that this Summit will be the final Summit for taking inventory of our action items and allowing neighbors time to reevaluate our priorities when it comes to action items that have been difficult to implement. Does everyone have a Summit engagement form, a voting card, and something to write with? If you do not have a Summit Engagement form, a voting card, and something to write with, will you please raise your hand now and our volunteers will come around and bring you these items. While the volunteers are passing these out, Im going to turn the microphone over to CoraLyn Turentine, the Director of Neighborhood Engagement for John Boner Neighborhood Centers, to provide some further information and instruction.
