<br />Review Committee. Mr. Halpert asked if any member would be interested in moving to the <br />Code Review Committee, either permanently or for a period of one or two months. <br /> <br />Mr. Senturia stated he is willing to temporarily serve on the Code Review Committee. <br /> <br />Mr. Halpert appointed Ben Senturia to the Code Review Committee until further notified, noting <br />that Mr. Senturia wants to be on Comprehensive Plan Committee, and will serve on the Code <br />Review Committee until the Plan Commission is fully staffed. The committees may be <br />rearranged when fully staffed. <br /> <br />Mr. Senturia asked about the Comprehensive Plan process. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai stated that the Parkview Gardens Plan, after it goes through the Plan Commission and <br />then to the City Council, there are a lot of items to address. The budget process is also ongoing <br />know how much money is available for the project. If more staff is necessary, we can only do so <br />much. There is no specific timetable at this point. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft stated that he was speaking only for himself, but there has been a lot of reorganization <br />among City Staff. The question will be if we have the resources to do it. He stated he would not <br />say no to a request for the money to do it. It will depend on where it fits in on the priority list. <br />He added that he was impressed with the Parkview Gardens process. There may not be the same <br />amount of detail, but the process should be similar. He added that he was not speaking for <br />anybody else and this was his view alone. He would like to see it happen. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai stated that the 2005 Plan still has elements to be implemented and it is not always <br />necessarily a matter of updating the plan but implementation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Paulette Carr stated it should be a priority in her opinion. She added that the <br />City Charter states it should be updated every five years. For the biking and walkability plan <br />they had a consultant from Trailnet. She stated she would support a consultant do the Plan and <br />for the Plan Commission to be involved in how to proceed. <br /> <br />Mr. Halpert asked if there was a way to let City Council know we had these discussions and he <br />was curious about the next steps. He added that the Plan Commission is ready for the next step <br />in the process. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft stated it could be included as an agenda item as part of Council Liaison report. He <br />added it could also be topic for the budget discussions. A lot of it depends on whether they have <br />money for it or not. <br /> <br />Mr. Halpert stated that maybe this is a way to show City Council we are concerned and ready to <br />start the process. <br /> <br />Ms. Moran stated it seems like the Parkview Gardens process could serve as a model that could <br />be followed. They seemed like a group of people who know the ins and outs of the process. We <br />have that resource to tap into. <br />tm;  šE <br /> <br /> <br />
