MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 24, 1995 <br />data collection; the second will be focused on gaining <br />the public's objectives for the process. Three <br />additional workshop meetings will be held as well. It <br />is the participation at those workshop that is yet to <br />be determined. The next workshop will be held in June, <br />and the vision for the Rice Street/Little Canada area <br />will be discussed at that workshop. Another workshop <br />will be held in July at which concepts and strategies <br />for moving the plan forward will be discussed. The <br />last workshop will focus on input on the plan itsel£. <br />In September a final presentation of the plan will be <br />made. <br />Scalze asked if the steering committee would be <br />required to meet more often than the six meetings <br />Fifield described. <br />Fifield stated that should it be determined that the <br />City Council is the steering committee, administrative <br />details could be addressed during regular City Council <br />meetings. <br />Fahey pointed out that the workshops described by <br />Fifield will be open to the public. Fahey again stated <br />that he did not wish to exclude anyone from providing <br />input during this process. Therefore, it was his <br />preference that the Council serve as steering <br />committee, the Planning Commission be encouraged to <br />attend all workshops as well as any property owners and <br />residents who desire to attend. Fahey suggested that <br />at a minimum the town meetings be broadcast on Cable <br />TV, and possibly the workshops as well. <br />Michael Schroeder, Hoisington Koegler Group, suggested <br />that broadcasting these meetings live may result in <br />people sittinq at home watching the meetings, rather <br />than coming to the meeting to participate. Schroeder <br />suggested that the meetings be recorded and rebroadcast <br />later. <br />Morelan asked the duties of the steering committee and <br />how often it would be required to meet. <br />Fifield replied that it is difficult to say what the <br />duties would be. The steering committee would be there <br />if the consultants get stuck. Fifield stated that he <br />was comfortable with the Council's role as steering <br />committee and having broader participation at the <br />workshops. <br />Schroeder pointed out that the workshops are very <br />important for the consultants in formulating insights. <br />Therefore, it is very important that participation be <br />consistent throughout the process by at least a core <br />2 <br />
