181 Mayor Butler extended appreciation to the Steering Committee for the work that had gone into their report. Councilmember Mercer stated that he and Councilmember Wood were assigned the task of appointing persons to the Steering Committee and felt they had done an outstanding job. Council discussion ensued regarding the selection of the consultant and deter- mined that additional information was needed before making a decision on this matter. Council discussion ensued regarding whether or not those properties with PUD approval had been included in the report. Mayor Butler presented a letter from Valley of California, Inc., dated September 28, 1982, requesting that their 9.3 acres at Pimlico and Santa Rita Road be withdrawn from consideration within the one year General Plan Study. Mr. Harris explained that this property has PUD approval but does not have development plan approval. Mr. Innes stated it would be excluded from the study. Councilmember Mercer stated he liked the concept of the report but felt the consultantes responsibilities should be determined and formal procedures established on that person before a call is issued to the public to serve on the General Plan Review committee. He stated he would like for City staff and the Steering Committee to discuss the scope of work, process for implementation of the study, how to hire the consultant, how much city staff time is going to be required, etc., and report back to Council with their findings. Councilmember Brandes stated he shared the same concerns as Councilmember Mercer and would like additional information, and would feel comfortable in delaying this item two weeks to receive a further report. Councilmember Mohr stated she would be agreeable to continuing this item for two weeks but felt it should not be delayed any longer than that because of the upcoming holiday season. She felt the call to the public should be issued at the same time as the other questions are being resolved in order to get the study under- way sooner. Councilmember Mercer stated he did not feel the City Council should make the appointments to the General Plan Review Committee; he personally felt that every- one who volunteers should be able to serve where ever they want to on whatever committee they are interested in. Mr. Innes stated the Steering Committee did not want to usurp the City Council in selecting the General Plan Review Committee. Mayor Butler stated that this Committee needs wide citizen input and that people should be encouraged to join whatever subdivision committee they are interested in. Mr. Innes stated that each person desiring to serve on a sub-com mittee will receive a packet of information and that there will be an orienta- tion meeting to review the scope of work in detail. Councilmember Wood stated he felt the report is one of the most thorough reports ever presented by a citizens committee and that implementation should begin as soon as possible. After further discussion, Mayor Butler instructed staff to prepare a further report regarding the mechanism of hiring a consultant, the approximate cost, how much staff time that will be required, etc., for review by Council at their meeting of October 12, 1982. Council determined not to issue a call to the public to serve on the General Plan Review Committee until after receipt of this report. Mayor Butler again thanked Mr. Innes and the Steering Committee for their good report. 5. 9/28/82
