The first task for the Commission is to candud community forurns to solicit citizen input about the community. At past meetings the Commissio� has recommended that 3 community forums be held. One in tfie area north of Highway 10, one for the Highway 10 corridor, and the third one in the area south of Highway 10. According to the schedule these three forums would be held in February, March and Aprii. The next step is to decide specific dates, place, order of the forums, and format for the Forums. Staff is checking on the availability of school facilities and wifl report the results at the )anuary 5"' meeting. In terms of the order of the forums, staff would recommend that the Highway 10 corridor meeting be held first to fit into the Highway 10 design theme proces5. The order of the other two may depend an school faciliry availability. I have attached a copy of a suggested agenda for the forums for Planning Commission discussion. In general there would be a general overview of the community by staff followed by informal small group discussions, and then a wrap up to summarize issues. STAFF REtOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission discuss and set specific dates, place, order, and format for the community forums. Staff will then work on publicizing the forums.
