Mr. Olson indicated some of the companies may identify with a local presence, but were <br />national or even international development firms. He reported 13 of the firms on the plan <br />holder list were local and two were out of the state. <br /> <br />Commissioner Grant suggested a language change to the responses to the questions submitted <br />noting that developers should expect a longer approval process for land use changes. <br />Development Director Hutmacher explained that the intent for the original language was to <br />inform developers that if the Land Use Master Plan needed to be amended, this would require <br />both City and JDA approval and it would take longer than a typical approval process. <br /> <br />Chair Sand referred to the approval flow chart and noted this document was provided to <br />developers. <br /> <br />Administrative Director’s Report <br /> <br />Mr. Olson requested the JDA approve the 2016 through 2018 budget and accept the 2015 JDA <br />Financial Report. He reviewed the documents in detail with the Commissioners. <br /> <br />Chair Sand recalled the JDA approved a 2013 through 2015 budget.

She requested the County send a link to this <br />video. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ortega was not aware of any YouTube video. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson reported the County put together a very brief YouTube video.
