1. Ordinance strengthening development review
The City Manager,reported on his proposal and discussions to date
with the planning Commission. He noted those proposals which he
felt would be considered to be most controversial. Mrs. Anderson
suggested having a task force of members of development community,
the Mayor and Commission Chair meet to discuss the proposals and
formulate a report on the proposals to the City Council. Mr.
Moyles suggested that the meeting or meetings be open to the public
so their is no appearance of one group controlling the review
process. It was suggested by Mr. Kolstad that the financial
community's opinion should be sought as well. Mr. Siegfried
suggested the committee be a subcommittee of the Council and the
commission and invite developers, financial people and the public.
Small developers should be included as well.
By consensus, scheduled the hearing on May 2; set up workshop to
be chaired by Mayor and Planning Commission Chair; report to be
