golf course impacts the community. He would like to serve on the committee, but does not play golf and would not qualify under the current criteria. There were no other speakers on this item. Mr. Tarver agreed one resident of the area or an at-large member should be appointed. It was moved by Mr. Tarver, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to establish a seven member committee with four members based on staff recommendations, one resident of the immediate area, one member at-large, and one Park and Recreation Commi~ioner. Ms. Dennis shared the concerns of Mr. Smith, however, the difficulty is finding one member of the Happy Valley neighborhood who would be seen by the group as representative of everyone. The meetings will be open to the public and people can express their concerns. She suggested appointing a Planning Commissioner or other person whose only job is to interact with the neighborhood and keep it informcol. She felt the committee could have more members if necessary. Ms. Michelotti agreed with including a Planning Commissioner on the committee and encouraged the residents of the area to continue to follow the committee and specific plan processes to voice their opinions. Mr. Pico believed that four golf course related professionals were too many. The city has hired consultants for project management, design, etc. He also wanted an environmentalist on the committee. He suggested the seven members consist of a Park and Recreation Commissioner, a Planning Commissioner and five at-large members, which could include someone with golf course management experience, a golfer, or someone from the neighborhood. Ms. Ayala indicated that it is unknown who will apply for membership and did not want to discourage anyone. She felt that when the applications are reviewed, Council can balance the committee. Ms. Michelotti said the City is spending a lot of money on experts to help design the golf course and wanted to make sure the process does not get bogged down. The committee should include people interested in golf with some expertise and she agreed with adding a Planning Commissioner and environmentalist. Ms. Ayala liked having a seven member committee and agreed with adding a Planning Commissioner. 4 2/04/9?
