Local capability Will be supplemented with consulting assistance to perform the tasks that cannot be completed at the city staff level. It is essential to work closely with each staff, the planning commissions and other consultants serving each of the communities. The intent is to utilize rather than replace the staff and consulting professionals (engineering, legal and administrative) that regularly serve each of the communities. App~ach In order to benefit from joint planning as well as to meet the local respon- sibility o~ planning for'unlque geographic, social and political character- istics the program proposes three essential stages. 021 The first stage (Series 100, 200 and 300) includes preparing planning background information common to all four communities. It will be referred to as the Planning Resource Element. 021.1 Coordination meetings will be held every second or third week with a technical committee (could be staff) representing all~ three communlties, 021.2 Coordination meetings will be held monthly with an Intergovernmental Coordinating Committee representing the Planning Commissions (or Councils) of all four communi ties. 022 The second stage (Series 400 and 500) includes individual plans, programs md recommendations that will be specific for each comm- unity. This specific Plan Element will be prepared generally in the sequence and format proposed in the programt however, it will be tailored to meet individual local needs. -1-
