Year-round scheduling is being considered, as is a night school program to ease the crowding. However, Lee questioned whether a task force would be effective against developments currently seeking approvals. The ideal, but unrealistic solution, would be to create an 18-month freeze on development while the task force convenes, he said. ``The mayor hit the nail on the head,'' said Councilman Frank Ferry, who supports a joint advisory board composed of community members. ``If you go out and ask 100 people what managed growth is, you'll get 100 different answers. I know when I walk into negotiations with developers, I want schools, parks and roads. For others, they're worried about density and open space.'' Councilwoman Jill Klajic said she would support the formation of a joint city-county general plan, because she has pushed for one since 1990, but is skeptical that a 15-member task force would yield more than ``political rhetoric.'' ``I think it's Jo Anne's way of quieting the natives,'' Klajic said. ``The environmentalists are going to be pushed out of discussions and won't be heard above the developers.'' Klajic said a more effective way to respond to the community's wishes would be to introduce a ballot measure that would give final approval of all development to voters. She currently is studying such a proposal. Allan Cameron Allan Cameron (born 1952) is a Scottish author and translator. He was brought up in Nigeria and Bangladesh.
