As <br />proposed, the resolution states that the planning process and preparation of the Environmental Impact <br />Report (EIR) would halt, that the task force would be thanked for its work and then disbanded, and that <br />any future decisions regarding resuming the process would be considered as part of a regular City <br />Council priority setting session at such time the Council felt it was appropriate. If adopted, staff would <br />remove this task from the Council's Work Plan priority list for the coming 2 years. <br />Vice Mayor Brown asked and Mr. Dolan confirmed that removing the item from the Work Plan would <br />alleviate staff time. <br />Mayor Thorne opened the item for public comment. <br />Knut Ojermark said his concerns with the current plan related to traffic, schools and water impacts and <br />that he feels no water should be given to new development when resources are so limited. He said he <br />was pleased to leam nothing more would occur with the plan for at least 2 years. <br />Kay Ayala said she hoped any future consideration of resuming the process would be done publicly. <br />She also offered her assistance with pursuing some form of relief from the state with regards to housing <br />allocations. <br />City Council Minutes Page 3 of 18 June 18, 2015 <br />
