Subject: Agreed Changes from July 17 and the August 5 Topics
Dear Mayor and Council:
Set forth below is the summation of the items on which no less than 4 council
members agreed at our July 17, 2007 meeting.
JUNE 5 MEETING DECISIONS
My letter to you dated June 6, 2007 apparently didn't get distributed to everyone
prior to the July 17 meeting. City Staff made copies for those that did not have them,
and it was agreed that the June 61h letter that set forth my understanding of the items
covered at the June 5 meeting would be the first agenda topic at our August 7 meeting.
MODIFICATIONS TO THE MEETING DATES AND DISCUSSION TOPICS
We discussed meeting dates and the discussion topics associated with those
dates. Attached is an updated "MEETING DATES AND DISCCUSION TOPICS"
document that shows the agreed changes. I have dated it with the August 7 date so
that everyone will know it is the latest. I have also included a clean version, without the
changes highlighted.

ZONING ORDINANCE (Tab 28)
Mayor and Council
August 3, 2007
Page 2
Joanne provided us with a matrix entitled "Zoning Ordinance Adjustments as
Identified by Planning Department Staff". This was an update from the matrix provided
at the last meeting. Attached is that matrix with the changes that were made at the July
17 meeting.
Two general items were agreed to that are not in a "matrix box". First, it was
agreed that the matrix would be dated, and then any subsequent draft would bear a new
date. Thus, I have dated the attached draft as July 17 Draft. When you approve the
Document I will provide you with a clean version that will have the date "August 7, 2007.
The second item that was agreed to that is not in a "matrix box" is that where, in
the matrix, an item is designated as being referred to a Council Committee, that item will
be reported out of committee at a regular council meeting. Someone will need to make
sure that I get a copy of whatever the Council then decides so that if there is a change,
then I can include it into the integrated document that will be produced as part of this
process.
AUGUST 7, 2007 TOPIC DISCUSSION
Normally I provide you with a letter that sets forth the "Issues" to be discussed at
the next meeting. In this case, however, the topics relating to the Comprehensive Plans
that are our Topics for August 7 are currently being dealt with in several different
forums. After discussion with Joanne, it was decided that the best approach was to
have her spend the remainder of the August 7 meeting discussing where you are on the
various comprehensive plan issues and how they will be dealt with going forward.
Sincerely,
Loren D. Combs
