He stated completion of the draft Comprehensive Plan was a top priority for the group. He also stated that the CAG has acknowledged their support for the draft Comprehensive Plan, as has been presented to date. He stated the CAG believes the draft Comprehensive Plan is a good representation of five (5) aspects: growth planning, environment, parks, education, and commercial development. He stated excessive attention has not been given to any one group. Chris noted the five (5) aspects were not equally weighted on a citizen level. Mark stated the CAG is made up of concerned citizens that want the best City possible. One of the cornerstones of the CAG was to have a general consensus for the Comprehensive Plan. Kim indicated Mark should speak under open mike at the Council meeting on Monday, October 12, 1998, regarding this issue. Brian stated the Comprehensive Plan is on schedule. There is a public hearing at the Planning & Zoning Board meeting on October 14, 1998. The draft Comprehensive Plan will go before the Council on October 26, 1998. The Vision Bus Tour is Saturday, October 10, 1998. Forty-seven reservations have been made. Brian stated that Chris and Caroline met with Paul Montain, JP Houchins, and Mike Trehus to determine if there was any way to amend the Plan so that Chris and Caroline would support the draft Plan. Several ideas were discussed and presented to Jamie Schaps. He was of the opinion that convening another meeting of the Comprehensive Plan Task Force to discuss these ideas would not be appropriate. A memo regarding his reasons will be distributed tomorrow.
