Staff reviewed the proposed framework in detail, requested <br />feedback from the Commission and recommended approval. <br />Commission Business <br />Commissioner Brauer understood it would be difficult to change the composition of the steering <br />committee. However, he suggested one or two more citizens be added to the committee to <br />balance out the group. <br />Commissioner Bauer agreed stating there should be an equal number of citizens to Commission <br />members. <br />Chairperson Levine feared that too many people on the steering committee could make it difficult <br />for the group to make decisions. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill did not object to adding several more residents to the <br />steering committee. He commented that at least one community wide workshop would also be <br />held to gain feedback from the residents. He stated that he could seek interested from the public <br />prior to making any determination as to the size of the steering committee. The Commission <br />supported this recommendation. <br />Motion by Commissioner Brauer, seconded by Commissioner Bauer, to recommend that City <br />Council adopt the Preliminary Framework for Citizen Engagement for the 2040 Comprehensive <br />Plan Update adding two residents to the steering committee. <br />Planning Commission/February 5, 2015 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
