Not really; except for their scope, FESCo has exactly the same capacity of implementing its decisions, as the Board, essentially an effective way to say “no” to anything, but only a very limited scope in which it can say effectively “yes” or “make it so” (depending on the specific dituation, getting three people interested in working on an issue is roughly the limit of what FESCo can accomplish; my impression from earlier Board’s “let’s do …” initiatives has been similar).

This is an aspiration but by no means guaranteed. If the assumption is that the council members themselves will be implementing the strategy, there are very many tasks that just can’t be done by the ~9 members of the council (keep in mind that we have thousands of participants). If the assumption is that the council members will be leading the community or persuading them to do something, it’s not obvious why the FPL-chosen members will be more effective than the current board members which were elected by the very communities they are supposed to lead or persuade.
