City Council Regular Meeting - 12/04/06 Minutes - Page 24 the Draft AUAR Update that it would not be identified as an impaired water. Mr. Stark noted that a public open house seeking comment on the AUAR Update had been held on November 2, 2006, had been noticed in the official newspaper, with mailed notice to those previously expressing interest; and noted that the reason the document, during scoping time periods, was sent to the various agencies was for their expert review and comment. Councilmember Pust thanked the public who had commented to- date on the process; and noted the numerous opportunities provided for public comment. Councilmember Pust reviewed discussion and issues raised; opining that going forward with the Update and seeking the third scenario seemed beneficial at this time, rather than waiting. Council member Ihlan opined the need to discuss the cost overruns for the Update so far; and further opined that it was financially irresponsible to move forward at this point, without the benefit of further public discussion. Councilmember Ihlan noted that that Scenario lA included big box retail and gas stations, which had not been included in the previous AUAR; and opined that the Draft Update needed careful City Council review and public input; and should not be "pushed ahead without further financial and environmental review."
