WORKSHOP ITEMS 96.009 A. Riverfront Discussion (Riverfront History) John Hill, Craven and Thompson, presented an outline to City Council entitled "Sebastian River&om Development - A Method for Initiating a Plan" (see attached), its purpose to create a Riverfront Master Plan. He stated that A.I.A. had offered to assist the City in developing its master plan at no charge. It was the consensus of City Council to appoint a board consisting of five members and two alternates. The City Manager recommended the five members be as follows: 1) Representative of business in the district 2) Land owner in district 3) Chamber of Commerce member 4) CDBG Task Force member 5) Council member He requested that City Council give him names prior to the January 24, 1996 meeting at which time the appointments will be ratified. The majority of Council disagreed with a member of Council serving as a member of the board. The City Manager then suggested a Homeowners Association member. Vice Mayor Conon suggested that two members be at large. It was the consensus of City Council that the district boundaries would be the railroad tracks east to the Indian River and the north and south city limits on the river. Discussion took place on considering the sandridge area west of the tracks in the future. Peter Jones, A.I.A., briefly addressed City Council. Discussion took place on overlay zoning. i., City Council Workshop January 17, 1996 Page Three The City Manager again requested names of appointees prior to the January 24, 1996 meeting and said he would ask the City Attorney to come with rules of procedure for the board. TAPE I - SIDE II (7:20 p.m.) John Hill recommended the establishment of an architectural review board, on which a member of A.I.A. should sit. Peter Jones addressed City Council once again on behalf of A.I.A. relative to beginning with block grant projects. The City Manager said he would send a letter to A.I.A. tomorrow to ask them to reaffirm their commitment. F.� Discussion took place on a City residency requirement. The City Manager stated that district business owners may not be residents. Vice Mayor Coram asked that the two members at large be City residents. 96.012/ B. SAotlist Ci Uymgui-,�:,vAits 95.213 Discussion took place on ranking procedure, whether or not to provide travel expenses, and the City Manager's recommendation to conduct a public forum for the applicants the day before interviews. It was the consensus of City Council to interview five applicants. Each City Council member listed his/her top five applicants and the result was as follows: 1) Robert T. Mearns (5) Alternates: John J. Drago (2) 2) Thomas W. Frame (4) Brian D. Gramentz (2) 3) Anthony G. Otte (3) 4) Michael G. Mahaney (3) 5) Ronald McLemore /ft� > .) 5afm�tfzd 6/.J.

Adont Land Uses: The Riverfront Board should, within 30 days, return recommendations to Council regarding: • Allowable Land Uses selected from those allowed under current zoning • Conditional Land Uses that may be permitted under special approval by Council and perhaps with special development requirements • Prohibited Uses that are strictly not allowed regardless of any special approvals or appeals )Council should then adopt a Riverfront Zoning District Overlay which is crafted to enforce the zoning without creating liability to the City.

Hill RE: Sebastian Rivetfront DATE: January 19, 1996 VIA: Delivery Following, for your perusal, is a copy of the Zoning district map and the categories with their respective uses. Not included in the tabulation is the "RR" district, which essentially is all the "Oyster" time share resorts, and no other land (although this may be a viable category to extend /'4 elsewhere). You can see that the uses are tabulated in two ways: one is the tabulation straight from the Code Book, and the other is what we extracted from the text in the Code Book. In either, you will note that there are many uses that are the same or similar in all the districts, and some that clearly should be eliminated. Although recommending the uses is to be the work of the Riverfront Board, we thought you knight want to start thinking about these in advance. Sincerely, apsgn &Associates, Inc.

'Halloran, CMA/AAE city Clerk (Seal) ^. Approved as to Form and Content: Valerie Settles, City Attorney a: 9 Louise R. Cartwright (/ ^ Riverfront Committee Members 1/17/96 Workshon on the Riverfront Following John Hill's presentation: Firtion - "Mr. Koford, if they're (John Hill) finished now, I think most of the Council members have designated a choice that they'd like to be on the board. Maybe at this time we should set up our board." Koford - "I think the board make-up is important, to whether or not you want five on it, seven, nine, etc." Firtion - "Well we need at least five people plus we need, the architects (AIA) would be a liaison to it and if the Council feels that we need possibly seven we can put seven that's no ... but as they told us just a few minutes ago, you get too many on it you don't get nothing done. So I think we ought to have really, my preference is five board members and we can have two or three liaisons, to help them, to help advise them." Cartwright - "I like, five is okay, I think in addition to the suggestions here, something that just came into my mind was a member of the Chamber of Commerce to be on this board." Damp - "As a liaison?' Cartwright - "Well I think as a board member, as a board member. When you're saying liaison you're not talking about an actual voting board member." Firtion - "No not a voting board member." Cartwright - "Okay yeah, no I am. I think a member of the Chamber and I think maybe two district land owners instead of one and that would give us our seven" Firtion - "Does everyone agree we go with five?" Halloran - "I think these are suggestions as such not a defined that we should have one district land owner, one business owner/operator, I think these are suggestions." Cartwright - "Yeah but the composition of the board is very important, the make-up of the board aside from the names we give. I think there needs to be the categories filled, like the land owner, the business owner, the advisory member, yeah." �.. Firtion - "We could put a landowner and a business owner, some of the things you want, that's the liaisons." Cartwright - "No I'd like them have them part of the, well active, they need to be active, not just a liaison." Firtion - "They will be active, but as we set this up, I think unless the Council wants to take a vote on it, and change it, I think we decided that we'd all appoint a member and if we do that, you pick out what you want and if you want a special board member on it, you pick him out and put him on." Cartwright - "I don't understand, in other words we're all going to put a member, well what if the five members that we've selected are all just property owners and don't fill in these categories, then do we just pick another person to fill?" Firtion - "No that's what we picked out then." Cartwright - "I think the composite of the board is very important" Firtion - "The composite of the board I think will be very apply filled if we do that. We've got to represent the business, we've got to represent the owners." Cartwright - "Right, but what if our five names are all land owners and not anybody to do with business, or what if our five members that we're going to present are just business owners, then we haven't fulfilled the categories." Firtion - "Well Mr. Koford let's bring out the names that we have." Halloran - "Let's wait and see what we have. I have one question, what is the intention of the representative of the city at -large, is that a staff member or is that just someone who lives in the city that represents the city, what do you mean by that?" Hill - "Mr. Halloran I think I should mention that these were just, what we had in mind was maybe somebody from outside of the district that for who knows what reason, just to represent a crass -section of the city but again this is just something to start conversation, which it has obviously, so there we go." Damp - "Would you accept if your name was put on that slot?' Hill - "I think that frankly I would be honored but I think that we would be better, the committee would be better served if we acted of counsel or as advisors and let the citizens decide what they want to do." Damp - "Thank you, you're T' Coram - "Since we have professionals as the advisors to this board, I believe that the Riverfront Board that Mr. Hill has suggested is a good idea. I would think that two representatives of the City at -large would be better than one as you're recommending a five member board and giving four types of people, so I would like to see two members at -large of the city, because what it shows now is three, I guess two land owners and one business owner, but there's nothing saying that a land owner isn't a business owner too. The member from the Citizens Advisory Board of the HUD I'm assuming that's a residential person that met that criteria, right?' Hill - "I think Mrs. Corum, I believe that there is an advisory board for the sub -project that is represented on one of these boards around here, correct? And they have to be a member of that." Koford - "What I was going to recommend to the Council that the basic board be constituted of five memberships with two alternates, and the five members would be, one appointed by City Council, one would be representative of the business community in the project area, one be a land owner in the project area, one be a representative from the Chamber of Commerce, one from the Community Development Block grant, and a member of council and then there'd be two alternates selected by the City Council in the event so that there's always a quorum capability. The Community Development Block grant is very essential because the five members who make up that committee now are representative of ownership and business in the target area. Your chamber as brought out will be those, be someone who's going to be instrumental in involvement like the Committee of 100 is in normal, as our advertising agency to be able entice businesses to come in once the ball starts rolling. A member of the business community now which Council, one member of Council's already appointed and also a landowner, and then have a member of Council be represented on that committee. Now I draw a distinction between a volunteer and one appointed by the Council and the reference was brought up, the County Commission, if the Council requires representation then we don't have the problem that was brought up at the last meeting. If on the other point, the Council does not require or is not required to have representation then we could have a problem. That's why the Board of County Commissioners have so many members serving in so many posts because they are required to provide representation and we could, by the same token, require and our City Attorney would just have to make sure that whatever their governing rules of conduct are does not provide for a conflict of interest. Which I think would be easy to do. Now this keeps it as a basic five with two alternates and I think that's probably the most ideal level to get this thing moving forward. Time is of the r� .� essence here, we are almost in February. And that's just my recommendation to you." Damp - "Do you throw out the names tonight or what do we do?" Koford - "I think it would be advantageous if you would, if not, then at least have those names available for Wednesday night (1/24/96) and we can formulate it at that point. Tonight we're not supposed to make decisions for the board anyway but for make decisions to be ratified, so, if between now and Tuesday, you could give me names and I'll put them in the pot and give them back to everybody next Wednesday and we'll select the board." Cartwright - "Okay now what would you suggest if we didn't choose a member of Council because I think, looking at the tasks we're going to assign this committee, I think it would be a problem having a member of Council on the board especially with the adopt of the change of the land uses which is coming back so I don't see a Council member being on that board, I don't see a requirement." Koford - "Okay in that I would suggest to you perhaps a member from the homeowners association as an example with representation of the total city uplands because here we're concentrating on the Riverfront area yet its still a part of the City." Cartwright - "Okay well, he, they have one, two, three, four, they have four categories and you added the Chamber of Commerce, that's the fifth category, that would replace the Councilperson. Is that okay with everybody?" Halloran - "Well I agree that this should not be a political, in any respect and to have somebody on the committee who is ultimately going to vote to accept or decline the recommendations of the committee doesn't seem reasonable to me at all." Damp - "We don't want that. Nope I agree." Comm - "I would still like to see two members at -large of the City of Sebastian on the committee." Koford - "Make it seven rather than five?" Contra - "I guess so. I think.." Koford - If you're going to do I'd suggest not go beyond seven. It gets.." Cartwright - "Okay so we could have two representatives of the city and two district land owners and that would actually balance it out to seven and actually those two can be the alternates for you." Halloran - ".....five decision making positions." Damp - "For voting purposes?' Cartwright - "and two alternates. Yup, this way they'll.." Halloran - "I think that way we'll get more accomplished." Cartwright - "And this way they'll always be a land owner present and always be a Sebastian City at -large person present. That's a good idea." Coram - "Well..." Koford - "That make sense to you John?" Damp - "Are you lost John?" Hill - "As I understand it what you're talking about now is having five voting members and two alternates and I think again just basically keeping the number down makes sense and the representation, that's strictly up to you." Corum - "I still believe that we should have seven voting members plus two alternates. I feel that we need more representation in the Riverfront, not just the people that live there or own businesses there and the reason is is the Riverfront is a small part of Sebastian and not a lot of people live there. We have 11,000 people in the highlands and maybe 1,000 down at the Riverfront and I would like to see more of a representation of the whole City of Sebastian as a voting member on the committee." Firtion - "Well Council it seems like we have a two sides so let's take a consensus. Who'd like five with two alternates and who would like seven? So let's go for five first Five and two alternates and then we'll go for seven, and just seven members period." Damp - "I go for five and two." Cartwright - "Okay I like five and two as long as the alternates are a district land owner and the representative of the City at -large. Is that what you want Mrs. Damp?' Damp - "Right." 1 . Cartwright - "Five and two." Halloran - "Five and two." Comm - "Seven and two." Firtion - "I'll take five and two." Discussion then moved to the district boundaries. Ianuary 24. 1996 Reeular Meeting Cnmmittee Reoorts Riverfront Committee Koford - "Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, we have five names for five members. I still am short the two at -large and with your permission just to keep this ball rolling since we're getting up a little steam, would you allow the City Manager to appoint the two at - large?" Cartwright - "Uh, yeah, Mr. Koford, that's a good idea, however, are one of these part of that Riverfront Task committee, the grant committee?' Koford - "I'm sorry?" Cartwright - "I don't think any of these people named are part of that Riverfront Task committee and I think you said that was a requirement." Koford - "No, its not a requirement. I think they should be, but I was going to make one of them the at -large. That's the Community Development Block grant" Firtion - "Is one of the, are you going to, would you like to tell us the two recommendations?' Koford - "I don't know at this point who they are. I want to know whether or not you would allow me, unless you have names that you want to put in there now. If not I just want to get forward with the momentum that we've got" Halloran - "That's fine with me." i. Cartwright - "Yeah, I'd just like to see a member of that committee on this committee and that's fine with me." Koford - "That's all I have." Firtion - "I guess there's enough consensus. I would like you to at least call the Council and tell us your selection." Koford - "Oh absolutely." Cartwright - "Have you contacted these people yet?" Koford - "No ma'am I have not." End Fehmary 28. 1996 Reaular Meetina Charles Stachel had offered information during public input. Coram - "On the Riverfront, Ed Moore, he represents a business? Which business is that?" Halloran - "Femdale Lodge." Comm - "Is that in the City of Sebastian?" Halloran - "No. Its on the river." Comm - "This resident is not in the City of Sebastian, so we have a little problem right away." Cartwright - "Actually, he's a director at the Chamber and I think he was supposed to be in the Chamber choice and Bruce Bennett is a resident of the City and he was supposed to be the resident choice." Coram - "Okay so we do need to rework this, its a big problem Thank you Charlie for bringing up that" ,..., March 13. 1996 Reeular Meeting Eipalization of Annointments of Riverfront Committee Firtibn - "I believe we have somebody signed up for that, Mr. Freeland." Freeland - "My name is Bob Freeland and I live at 733 Wentworth Street in Sebastian. The finalization of appointment of members to the Riverfront Committee is coming up tonight and when I looked at it earlier, it made me think that this has been going on for some time and initially it was how many members are we going to have, how should we select them, and that discussion has taken place over a couple of meetings at least and each member of this present Council has selected somebody to represent the River&ont and I got to thinking about it Monday you are going to have two new Council members. I thought it would be kind of neat if you folks would consider those other two appointments to be made by the incoming Council members. You're going to be working with them for the next year at least some of you and I think it would show some good faith in the folks coming in and really get off to a good start, something I hope you'll consider, thank you" Firtion - "Okay there's no further, no public input." i. Damp - "Mr. Mayor, there is one thing I would like to mention. This is an old letter because I had already sent in my at -large position before and its not on here, there's only four names on here and for some reason my wasn't on here so therefore I guess I can put it back on, but I nominate Tommy Thompson for the at -large position under my name." Fiction - "Okay Council we have five names at the at -large position and we'll now take a vote." Cartwright - "Okay now, before we do that we have to.." Firtion - "Just a minute, I'm running this meeting." Cartwright - "Well we have some corrections to make here, Mr. Halloran and I." Firtion - "Are you saying that these are not your.." Cartwright - "No, no, no. I'm talking about in the box where Mr. Koford put..." Firtion - "Well we're not on that item, we're not on that item yet." Cartwright - "Well its going to make a difference because in the box where the category is he categorized them incorrectly. Mr. Bennett is not, he is a Chamber member but he is on the committee as a resident of the City and Mr. Moore, Ed Moore is actually a director of the Chamber of Commerce so we have to put Bruce Bennett as a resident and Ed Moore as the Chamber representative." Damp - "Just change them around." Firtion - "Just change them around." Cartwright - "Just change them around yes." Firtion - "Well we can do that when we get to that item." Cartwright - "Well that item's already completed. We don't need to look at that one. That's finished." Damp - "Yeah, okay, very good." Conan - "Can I bring something up. I took the time to write something for Council so I hope that you will at least just to take the time to take a look at it. As I have told you in the recent past I was concerned about this committee because they're all represent businesses on the Riverfront and that's not what we intended to do and its not Mr. Koford's fault because he just took a person that each Councilmember gave him and each Council member did not know who anyone else was picking so when we finally take a look at it we look at it and say we have five business representations on this and nothing more. I put something together that I believe would make a real good committee and it would represent everybody in the City of Sebastian. I put one small business owner..." Firtion - "Vice Mayor Comm, let me interrupt you here." Corum - "I went through a lot of trouble, Mr. Mayor." Firtion - "Well I know you did but we're on the first item first and you're bringing up the item that we've already approved and you want to rechange that." Coram - "I'm bringing it up because I brought it up two different times at a Council meeting and I said that I asked Council to think about it and I'm sure Council has thought about it and to give more food for thought. As I said my concerns are we have five business owners and I can't see the committee accepting this as is. I actually think that we should start over again and advertise. Let the people, not just pick a person, you r� know whom we know, and if I can just very quickly go over the seven type categories I think would make a really great committee. Is that okay?' Firtion - "No its not. What we'll do if, we'll take a vote of the Council right now, if we want to review this thing and I'll ask for a vote if you want to review the selections that's been picked out. We all picked out a person and if the Council wants to change that now, we'll have to do that by the vote. Okay. If you want to change it, Madam Clerk ask for a yes or no vote." Cort - "Can I say what I'd like to change it to so." Firtion - "No lets, we're not going to change this unless we get a vote to change it" Corum - "You don't even want to hear it?" Firtion - "Well if we get a vote to change it then we'll hear it. Then we'll listen to what you have" Colum - "Okay, I'll sorry." r� O'Halloran - "Mr. O'Halloran do you wish to change this." Halloran - "I would like to keep the five nominees that Council selected and that's the only thing to my understanding Council ever agreed to. These seven members, nine members, and the composition of members, and how tall the members are has never been agreed to by Council." O'Halloran - "Mrs. Corum." Coram - "Yes." O'Halloran - "Mrs. Cartwright." Cartwright - "I don't want to change the individual names that were given to Mr. Koford by Council and I believe we did agree to the composition of seven members. I think Council did agree to that so I don't want to change that either." Firtion - "Not seven members. Five members and two alternates." Cartwright - "Yeah, five and two. Seven." O.W. 10 Comm - "Now I'm confused." O'Halloran - "Mrs. Damp, how do you feel?' Damp - "No, keep it the same as we had before." O'Halloran - "And Mayor Firtion?" Firtion - "We'll leave it the same. We voted on it once already. Okay so now let's go back to our first item. We'll get the at -large candidate. And that we have Mrs. Comm, Van Buskirk, Ruth Sullivan, Enzor Maggard and Tommy Thompson." Damp - "The name is Van Buskirk." Firtion - "Okay." Cartwright - "I'd like to nominate Tommy Thompson." Halloran - "I second that." Firtion - "Any further nominations." Comm - "I'll nominate myself. Thank you." Firtion - "Hearing no second. Call the roll please." Roll Call 4-1 - Comm voted no - All others voted aye Firtion - "Now we go on to the next item which is the CDB member and there we have Mr. George Reid, Anthony Donini, Ruth Sullivan, Dave Dabrowski, and Stan Krulikowski." Damp - "I nominate Stanley Kmlikowski." Comm - "I'd like to interview please. Interview as required by the code." Cartwright - "I think we waived that requirement. In fact this Council had said to Mr. Koford why don't you just, in fact, he asked our permission to select these two and we had given him the permission or the consensus of Council to do that so we waived the interview." Corum - "well I don't remember waiving it and considering how Planning and Zoning has been letting things go lately I think we really need to look at who gets on Planning and Zoning." Cartwright - "We need to place on our Riverfront Committee one member of the advisory committee and they've already been, they're an inforce committee and one of them has to be on our Riverfront Committee and that's the..." Halloran - "I second the nomination for Stan Krulikowksi " Corum - "I apologize, I'm on another page. Stanley's fine if he will accept it." Cartwright - "Okay." Firtion - "call the roll please." Roll Call results - 5-0 Cartwright - "I'd like to add that if Mr. Krulikowski is not available that we allow the City Manager to pick or to scan the CDBO committee to get a volunteer from there and keep it from coming back to Council and delaying this committee." Damp - "I approve. Second." Halloran - "Second." Firtion - "Call the roll please so we have it on record, please." O'Halloran - "This is on Mrs. Cartwright's motion. Who made the second?" Halloran - "I seconded." Roll Call results - 5-0 March 27 1996 Regular Meeting Introduction of_New Bnsiness from the Public Stachel (Charles) - "Madam Mayor and new City Council persons and former Council persons. Charlie Stachel, 1698 Coral Reef Street. What I'd like to do is just give you a friendly reminder that our Riverfront Development Committee still lacks the originally 12 ,^ intended composure. We were to have two representatives at -large. At -large to me meant people who don't reside on or in business on the Riverfront. At -large meant residents of the City of Sebastian at -large, and so far we only have one of those. Now since the Council people have made their suggestions at a former Council meeting just the last one we had two additional placed on the committee. I'm not suggesting taking any of these people off. I see no reason why your intent, the intent of the former Council couldn't be followed through by just placing an additional person or two on that committee. I mean all the people who I've seen named on the committee are certainly worthy candidates and were chosen very well for that committee, but I think that if you really study the composure of what was originally intended you'll find that we're, we don't have a complete slate right now in the names that are there. So what I would suggest is think about another person at -large and perhaps if in any way possible, to get one solid residential person on the river&ont who just has residential interest. Right now anybody who's serving in that capacity right now has a business interest also. So if you'll study the names and what was originally intended to be represented on there, I think if you'll look at it you possibly could stand two more positions without taking anybody off because the names have been offered and all of these people I would hope would have also a right to serve. Thank you very much." Cartwright - "Alright the next item is City Council matters and I go first tonight. Okay and I think I'm going to move on to my third item which is exactly what Mr. Stachel was 'lft talking about is the Riverfront Committee. You read my notes I know that. What I wrote down here was, we each had the opportunity, this is the formation of a brand new committee and the prior Council each had the opportunity to appoint one person to it We came to a five person committee with two alternates, which are already set and I don't want to touch those, but I think for the composition we do need two residents. Residents at -large. And what I'd like to recommend ... (End of tape) Start next tape).... Mr. Barnes and Mr. Taracka each to appoint one member which would bring us to a voting body of seven with the two alternates, so these would be additional two and that's what I'd like to recommend and I hate to, well, in a sense we had to limit our choices to a certain selection but I'm going to ask you both to please limit your choice to a selection of a resident only and if that's what Mrs. Damp and Mr. Halloran agree to I think that would be in all fairness to Council and to the committee, the integrity of the makeup of the committee, and if you can. Do you have any objection Ray or Norma to that?" Halloran - "Yeah I have an objection. I thought we had set a council as we agreed on the council and that the last word I heard that we appointed one alternate and the City Manager was to select another alternate." 13 Cartwright - "I think we appointed two alternates. It was Stan Knilikowski and Tommy Thompson." Damp - "Then we appointed Krulikowski for.." Cartwright - "For an alternate." Damp - "For an alternate, yeah." Cartwright - "So we did. No, what I'm saying is we didn't stick within the framework, the way the names turned out, it didn't stick within the framework of the consultant's advice onto the composition of the committee. So all we're doing is asking each of them to add a name of a resident to the committee." Damp - "Its just like, where's my .... its mentioned too about it was not intended. We voted and I don't even know whether we voted, we agreed on who would be represented and I didn't know there was any particular framework that we had to abide by." Halloran - "There wasn't." Damp - "That's what I thought." Cartwright - "Well there was a guideline that was given to us and then.." Damp - "Yeah a guide, but nothing.." Cartwright - "From the consultants, the AIA.." Damp - "Nothing concrete.." Cartwright - "Oh no, I know, and the way it worked out though we're top heavy in business and we have no residents representative. That's the way its worked out. So this would just change the format of the board to seven from five and it would get it off the ground real quick and...: ' Damp - "We have seven, five and two, that's seven, so you want ten?" Cartwright - "It would change it to seven and two." Barnes - "Nine." 14 Damp - "Nine I mean." Taracka - "That would change it to nine." Cartwright - "That would be my recommendation." Barnes - "Since the committee hasn't met yet I think it would be appropriate to give us a shot at some membership since they wouldn't be interjected into the middle of something, but they'd be there right from the beginning with everybody else." Cartwright - "Mrs. Damp do you have any objection?' Damp - "They're going to appoint someone from the residential area, from the, both of them from the residential area?" Cartwright - "Yeah I'm going to ask that they..." Damp - "That DON'T live on the Riverfront?" Taracka - "No, no Riverfront people." Damp - "Or they do? He's said do, I don't care what you do." Barnes - "Not on the Riverfront." Audience - "One each." Halloran - "I tried very hard to get a resident on the Riverfront. I don't think you'll get one. I'd like to have one." All talking at once. Damp - "Sandra ? Sandra that's on your board of directors" Cartwright - "So if both of you would give Mr. Frame, if both of you would give a name to Mr. Frame, again by Friday, and then Mr. Frame can get this committee meeting maybe next week or with very short time. I just want to remind people that when the Riverfront Committee does meet it will be open to the public. It is an advisory committee and their meetings are open to the public." Barnes - "The only thing I was thinking is that since they haven't met I don't know what 15 ,.� kind of direction they're being given as far as to what their mission is. What are they supposed to be doing and what is the time frame." ti Barnes - "Okay the consultants presented to Council which maybe we can get you a copy of, the consultants presented to us a task plan and some of those items were very time oriented. Within 30 days their first project was to look at the zoning and uses and within 30 days bring back a recommendation.
