Councihnember Connolly stated she had thought that a Committee was going to be put together <br />to work on the design of the park. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos replied that a Committee will be formed after the meeting on <br />December 14th. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that the membership of the Committee should be formalized <br />because if there is not a set membership then no one will show up in the beginning and when it's <br />time to make decisions, they will be flooded with different input. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated that December is a tough time for people to meet and would <br />keep the Committee open to people who would like to get involved in the future. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen requested that a list of possible Committee members be put together <br />prior to the next City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested having a variety of organizations and citizens involved on the <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he would like to see what the size of the Committee will <br />be, who the stakeholders are, possible names associated with organizations that should be <br />involved and any open slots. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson suggested having the paper print an article about the park and the <br />planning process that will be taking place. <br /> <br />Consensus was to forward the item to the City Council without recommendation to allow the <br />City Attorney time to review the grant application. <br /> <br />Case #3: Request to Reconsider Plan Check Fees for Townhomes <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that in September 2000, the City Council was asked to <br />consider whether or not plan check fees should be charged on second and subsequent building <br />permits for identical townhomes within a subdivision or project area.

This question was initiated by Tim Strong of Strongbuilt Homes. His <br />company is constructing some of the townhomes in Mallard Ponds.
