Bair, Jr. on page 5, <br />the planner must plead the cause for unborn generations. <br />It is also important to remember that future generations <br />will be planning for us in our retirement. The Native <br />Americans looked at the impact of their decisions to the <br />seventh generation. <br /> <br />It is good for the makeup of a Planning Commission to be <br />intergenerational and integrated by race and gender so <br />that all concerns of the future can be placed in the <br />forum. <br /> <br />Although it is impossible for members of Planning <br />Commissions to function completely apolitically, it is <br />the role of the Planning Commission to make decisions <br />based on objective findings and established policies, not <br />political expediency. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Planning Commissioners make recommendations to governing <br />bodies. These bodies depend on objective and equitable <br />recommendations from the Commission upon which they can <br />lean to arrive at decisions which may be unpopular for <br />them politically, even though these decisions are <br />rational and responsible for present and future <br />generations. Wi thout sound recommendations, policy <br />makers are more subject to political pressure and to- "now <br />generation" decisions. <br /> <br />The Organizational Chart can be used to diagram your <br />community's government structure, and the placement and <br />role of the Planning Commission in this structure. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~"",IIG~ <br />z: <br />5: <br /> <br />4 <br />
