NEW BUSINESS Mayor Benson addressed the board with a couple of questions. 1) What do you think of our liaison and how would you go about selecting a liaison for this job? 2) What major objectives should we as a City look at? Building Structure etc.? More restrictive rules and regulations? COMMENTS TO QUESTION #1 The liaison should come back to the council and before they say what motions were made at the Planning & Zoning meeting, they should also inform the council members of what led up to the motion. Also, the liaison should play two roles. A communicator and a council role. * Previous liaison wasn't here half of the time. * Don Marier does a good job - 100% of listening * The liaison should relay what John Miller and Pete Kluegel or Planning and Zoning members say - than he should make a decision of what to say to the City Council. COMMENTS TO QUESTION #2 * We have been only reacting to agenda items. We should consider new Planning functions and take on new projects. * We should work and cooperate with the developers more.
