Lorie Tinfow
SUBJECT: Village Task Force Formation
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Authorize the creation of the Village Task Force and its proposed composition.
REPORT SUMMARY:
At the last Council meeting, Council approved moving forward with a strategy to revitalize the
Saratoga Village. The first step in the process is to designate a community group to work with the
Village Ad Hoc Committee and staff to update the Village Plan.
The Village Ad Hoc Committee proposes the formation of a 9-member Task Force composed of the
following:
♦ Two council members
♦ Three Village business representatives (property owners and non-property owners)
♦ One representative from the Saratoga Village Development Council
♦ One representative from the Planning Commission
♦ One representative from Chamber of Commerce
♦ One representative from Heritage Preservation Commission
Specific community members have been identified by the Ad Hoc Committee to participate and
some have been approached to determine their interest pending Council approval.
The group would meet monthly at a time and location to be determined by the members for a period
not to exceed one year. We expect to bring an updated plan to Council for consideration within 4-6
months. All meetings would be open to everyone interested in attending and broad community
participation would be encouraged. Vice Mayor Norman Kline would chair the group.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
No fiscal impacts at this time. Council will be asked for funding once the plan is completed and
presented for approval.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
A task force would not be created.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Determine not to establish a Village Task Force or to do so in another manner.
FOLLOW UP ACTION(S):
Execute Council direction.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
