Also, the Fire Department is not seen so much as the enforcer, so they are seen 19 as benign and respected at the same time. 20 Chair Bergstrom noted in questions ##4 and#5, Future Actions,which deal with the role of the 21 Planning Commission in future stormwater actions and in parks redevelopment, that possibly the 22 Commission should have a different role than having a representative on the task force. 23 Chair Bergstrom noted question#6, Future Actions, which deals with how the Planning 24 Commission proceeds in implementing the goals of the new Comprehensive Plan. He stated 25 there are a lot of issues which deal with infrastructure, that if are done, could be done in 26 conjunction with public works projects up the street. He stated it is important for the Planning 27 Commission and the Public Works Department to be familiar with this aspect of the 28 Comprehensive Plan so that as design engineering and maintenance is performed, it is known 29 that this is in the Plan and also the process for implementation. 30 Chair Bergstrom noted in question#7, which deals with methods of ongoing communication.of 31 ideas and feedback between the Council and Planning Commission, that there may be other 32 vehicles of communication worth pursuing beyond a joint meeting once per year. 0 There was Commission consensus for Staff to draft a copy of the Discussion Items with the 34 suggested changes for inclusion in the packet for the March 4, 1998 Joint Meeting.
