City Staff: Ricardo Soliz and Mark Walters from PECSD/ Neighborhood Planning.

Meeting began at 6:35 PM

The first order of business was to go over general housekeeping matters.  Stephen Kreger suggested that the members of the planning team establish an informal lending library to share copies of adopted neighborhood plans so each could get an opportunity to get a feel of what was entailed in the planning process.  Stephen Kreger then briefly discussed the scope of the neighborhood planning process.

Decision:  The planning team agreed to establish a neighborhood plan lending library.

Ricardo Soliz next discussed the development of the vision statement and that it will be discussed at the next meeting on 1-9-01.  A draft copy of a vision statement was distributed.

Decision:  A motion was made and passed to hand-deliver the surveys to the residents of the planning area.  However, the volunteers to deliver the survey will be decided upon at the next planning team meeting on 1-9-01.  The Neighborhood Planning staff will coordinate the distribution of the surveys to the planning team.

The next order of business was a lengthy discussion of the findings of the survey subcommittee.

Decision:  After much discussion, the planning team members decided to approve the survey as amended.

The Neighborhood Planning Notebooks were handed out

The land use survey packets were handed out to volunteers.  The data gathered by this project will
  Present a more accurate picture of the existing land uses in the neighborhood than currently exists
  Identify places in need of sidewalks or sidewalk improvements
  Possibly identify traffic trouble spots
  Possibly note areas in need of new or repaired street lights.

It was suggested that on the next meeting notice to be mailed out, that a mention be made that the results of the land use survey may lead to a change in zoning.

The meeting adjourned at 9:05.
