A motion was entered and sdopted empowered to administer and serve Roll Call Vote Motion: Wood Seconded: Doherty Ayes: Doherty, Jamieson, Noes: Shepherd Absent: None Abstain: None recommending that the City Council be as the Residential Allocation Board. Wood and Chairman Butler Councilmember LeClaire arrived at 8:08 P.M. Section 2-13.07. Residential Allocation Program. Chairman Butler felt strongly that there should be something written into the ordinance that goes a little farther than just indicating that the allocation would not apply to commercial and industrial connections. The City Council, at the same time that they are establishing allocations for residential connections, should establish a separate allocation, making it crystal clear that there is an opportunity for establishment of numbers of permits every year for industrial and commercial growth. City Attorney Scheidig indicated this was explained under "Purposes," why this ordinance does not apply to commercial and industrial allocation. Commissioner Doherty offered that perhaps this should be spelled out specifically so as to not impart a "no growth" attitude to the community. Planning Analyst Brian Swift attempted to make it clear that the City is encouraging commercial/industrial development. This is a part of the Community Development Element. It was agreed that additional language regarding commercial/industrial development would be added to the ordinance. On Page 8 (g) Development Approval for Exempt and Subsidized Projects Chairman Butler requested an explanation of how this works. On (h), Com- missioner Jamieson said he didn't like the word, "effectuate." Commissioner Shepherd was concerned about allocations for single family on a first come, first served basis. He wonders what would happen if there is a large demand. Secretary Harris explained why this probably wouldn't happen. Councilmember Brandes arrived at 8:37 P.M. At this point, Commissioner Jamieson made a general statement to the effect that his views on the proposal were that while he agrees with the general concept of growth control, he did not feel such an elaborate pro- gram is necessary. His recommendation was that staff redo the entire project. Chairman Butler agreed that the plan is untried and that changes would need to be made. However, he did not feel that by adopting such a plan it would be casting it in concrete. Everyone recognizes that in trying to implement such a plan changes may occur. And, there appears to be enough flexibility in it. -3-
