___________________________________________________________________________________ <br />JOINT CITY COUNCIL/ SUCCESSOR AGENCY BOARD September 8, 2014 <br />MEETING MINUTES PAGE 5 <br />Ms. Littlefield, Associate Planner, presented the report and shared that the purpose is to <br />update the Plan and ensure that there is compatibility on Land Use from neighboring <br />jurisdictions, and ascertain if there are any compatibility concerns or issues. She added <br />that staff will continue to update the Council on the progress of this item. She <br />highlighted the four areas of focus and the goals. <br /> <br />Council Member Seybert said that he will be representing the Council on this committee <br />and he spoke about upcoming meetings and that he plans to keep the Council apprised. <br />Another Council Member said she was happy that the public may have an opportunity to <br />comment on these items. She would like to let people know as soon as possible about <br />upcoming meetings. Another Council Member inquired if there were handouts on the <br />prior decisions versus the current path of the project. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Foust noted that sometimes there are competing interests and how the <br />transit corridors might touch on various agencies and priorities like those from <br />Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Airport Land Use Committee, and so <br />these overlays are to be considered carefully. Mayor Gee provided some context <br />confirming that overlapping may be sensitive and may pose challenges. <br /> <br /> B. Quarterly Update on City Priorities and Programs <br /> <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Discuss quarterly update regarding City priorities and programs. This is an <br />information item. No Council action is required. <br /> <br />Dr. Bell, City Manager, made a presentation on planned priorities, accomplishments and <br />items that walked through the door the first quarter of the current FY (presentation on <br />file). He highlighted the many achievements the Council and staff have completed. Dr. <br />Bell thanked the staff and the community for all that has been accomplished and the <br />Council for its vision and commitment. He also covered what was to be expected for <br />the near future. One Council Member said this was a summarized list of what was <br />presented previously and thanked Dr. Bell for all his work. Another Council thanked Dr. <br />Bell for his work and all the accomplishments. This Council Member said that the City is <br />a lot cleaner and better than before in various fronts. <br /> <br />Another Council Member said that so much gets done when opportunities knock on the <br />door and she is happy about the flexibility and she likes the more regular reports and <br />this is for the benefit of the community in general and not just the Council. She hopes <br />that there is a street downtown that has the same look as the pictures and renderings <br />on the General Plan. Another Council Member said that this should be placed online so <br />the community can see the report provided by Dr. Bell tonight. This Council Member <br />thanked all the staff and the City Manager for the leadership exuded and the follow <br />through. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Foust thanked the staff, BCC members, Dr. Bell, the other appointees and <br />the Council for the new way of achieving goals. She recalled a period in 2003 when the <br />priorities were stuck in stone and then shifted to Strategic Initiatives and goals and <br />accomplishments and she said that this is an incredibly well run City with the City <br />7.1.H. - Page 5
