Motion carried unanimously. 20/20 VISION UPDATE - RIM SULLIVAN Ms. Sullivan explained that 20/20 Vision has been a success story to this point. She has talked to many City boards and committees to let them know that there have been 250 responses from residents to the community forums. This is a very good response. Over 100 residents have requested advisory committee applications and Ms. Sullivan expected to receive additional applications. Ms. Sullivan requested Council approval for the formation of a steering committee to assist her and to make sure that the process is kept "on track" and that the interpretations that she is makir)g'on the information that she is getting is correct. Ms. Sullivan explained that the schedule for the project is "on track". The advisory committees are expected to begin their assignments beginning in March and complete that process in May. A midway "summit" will be held with the community where all the different groups will talk and make sure that everything is tied together so that the "left hand will know what the right hand is doing". Another community forum will be held at the end of the project. Everyone will be invited to hear the results of each committee. The project will then be brought back to the City Council. Ms. Sullivan noted that she is receiving many comments and questions about why the City Council is not stopping development until the 20/20 Vision process is completed. Her response has been that the City Council has "actionable accuracy" now to continue some of the work that is in process. She explained that "actionable accuracy" means that the City Council knows what the community has said in generalities, that is, they want to make sure that the environment is kept in mind, and make sure that a balance is kept in the development. During the next few months while 20/20 Vision is being developed, it is important that the City not stop functioning. Ms. Sullivan asked that the City Council and the boards and committees keep in mind that the City will continue with the plan that is in place and there is no need to take a radical move away from the current process until the results of 20/20 Vision are known. She suggested that when the City Council and the boards and committees hear these types of questions, time should be taken to educate the citizens and let them know that there is a plan and show them the plan. Advisory group topics have been selected. There were many issues presented in the public forums that will not be addressed by PAGE 2
