Amendment / Discussion Review and Comments of Sub -committee's Handout — <br />106 Commissioner Trehus stated that if they reject the proposal tonight the Council could still put <br />107 the Task Force Amendment on the ballot without a delayed vote. Consensus of the <br />108 Commission was to not reject the proposal but continue in further discussion. The <br />✓'1109 continuance ends December 6th <br />. <br />110 <br />111 Chair Duffy questioned if there is support to remove the referendum provision in a situation <br />112 that would allow the neighborhoods to opt out or initiate a project without the City taking a <br />113 vote on it. This is in Chapter 8 and would allow the neighborhoods to understand the project <br />114 to be undertaken so they can opt out or move forward with the proposal. Commissioner Dahl <br />115 questioned if the rest of the City will pay the neighborhood's taxes. Chair Duffy withdrew <br />116 her question. <br />117 <br />118 Commissioner Handrick suggested working on the proposed Task Force Amendment to close <br />119 any loopholes. She suggested that the attorney look at this from both sides and make <br />120 suggestions. <br />121 <br />122 Commissioner Storberg suggested creating a definition for road repair to eliminate problems <br />123 leading to many amendments. <br />124 <br />125 Chair Duffy suggested reviewing the bullet points from the subcommittee to reach an <br />126 agreement and narrow down the list. The Commissioners discussed the bullet points leading <br />127 to the following recommendations: <br />128 Bullet #1: Remove.
