   The new co-chairs of the MVCCA: Dan Burrier, Tim Sargeant and Dan Rinzel.

   This was an unprecedented turnout for the district's umbrella group for neighborhood associations, according to Dan Burrier, the president of the Mount Zephyr Citizens Association and one of three MVCCA members elected to be 2007 co-chairs. "We got all the presidents who supported change to come," he said. "We filled the house." Burrier also cited the total number of people at the meeting, 83 (less than half of whom could actually vote) as evidence that the community is eager for the agenda outlined by himself and his new colleagues, Dan Rinzel and Tim Sargeant.

   Burrier said he had heard a refrain of requests from neighborhood association presidents that the MVCCA needs to expand its number of member associations, that it needs to encourage more participation from all members, and that meetings and committees should be more structured.

   REFERRING TO THE ELECTION as a "mandate for change," Burrier said he'd met with 31 association presidents in the run-up to the election, and that the candidacies of the three winning nominees were predicated on the concerns of member presidents. He said that alterations to the status quo - including strengthening procedural mechanisms at meetings and possibly changing the leadership of some of the 10 committees within the council - are needed to end what he saw as a tendency towards "an agenda of the few" instead of the majority. He also said committees need to establish criteria for approval so that developers and others seeking committee approval will not have to spend many months and thousands of dollars responding to the changing whims of committee members. "If it's just ad hoc we don't go anyplace. We just spin in circles," Burrier said.
