Commissioner Narum stated that there were a couple of speakers who asked questions and inquired if those have been addressed. She indicated that the Commission usually asks staff to respond so it is on the record. Mr. Dolan stated that this document was just called "Guidelines" and it has evolved into something that could be called "Policy" or a number of things, but clearly the intent is that they are recommendations that will result in the adoption of new amendments to the zoning ordinance in some way and possibly some other ordinances, and they will be enforced as law once they are adopted. Chair Pentin asked staff if tney recall the other questions. He stated that he thought a lot of it got brought up and discussed but he does not specifically remember. Ms. Ott replied that staff will look at their notes and the Minutes and will ensure that those questions that were not covered in tonight's meeting are addressed. No action was taken 7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS Code Enforcement for Police Officers Commissioner Blank noted that a while back, the Commission talked about Code enforcement and the possibility of giving law enforcement access to documents, such as Conditional Use Permits terms and conditions of approvals, so they have a way of verifying whe':ner something businesses or customers frequenting these businesses are doing outside of the City's business hours are allowed or not. He inquired if staff has had the opportunity to look at that. Commissioner Narum stated that she actually brought it up when she rode with a Police Officer to Club Neo, and the Officer was talking about how they were finally scanning all these different use permits with different conditions and having them on the computer in the police car. Commissioner Blank inquired if that has, in fact, happened with all the CUP's that the Commission has granted. He added that this was just a status question and that he does not need an answer tonight. Mr. Dolan replied that he is not certain if that has been completed or not but that staff would look into it. Commissioner Blank stated that he was going to request that this item be agendized but inquired if staff could just get back to the Commission with a progress report. He noted that he believes this would be very nelpful for Police Officers as they would be able to verify quickly whether something they think may be a violation is indeed one.
