The Committee will listen to, but not respond to any comment made…. A Committee member may add an agenda item to a future meeting as a result of a citizen comment…. The Committee will hear public comments related to an agenda item when the Chair deems appropriate during the Committee meeting.

II. Guests/Presentations
A. Franklin Demographic Presentation
– Jerome McKibben, McKibben Associates
difference between forecast and projections
population forecasts drive the enrollment
if assumptions are followed, the forecast should be within 2%
key assumption is the mortgage interest rate, buyer side of the market
with dual incomes and college debt, key to mortgage approvals
275 existing home sales for next ten years
retirement doesn't drive downsizing, death of one or mobility of one are key factors
population distribution key to enrollment, not births, deaths, or migrations
audio to be made available later this week
(Note: there is also another presentation forum on this topic scheduled for March 5 at Horace Mann cafeteria)
