Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 13, 2013 Page 14 Councilmember Laliberte suggested that it may not necessarily be one person coming forward to speak in summary fashion when a topic comes forward for City Council action, since the Commission's findings and minutes would be available. However, Councilmember Laliberte suggested it would be helpful if questions arose, to have someone available from the Commission to clarify any of those discussions, in addition to staff, recognizing the valuable role the Commis- sion played in the decision-making. Mayor Roe suggested an "after incident" analysis of an issue: what went well, what didn't, and any recommended policy changes. Mayor Roe suggested that it might make sense to institutionalize that with the Planning Commission once an item had evolved through the process and City Council action taken; to provide a brief recap at the next Commission meeting and what was learned through the process for future reference. Mayor Roe suggested such a report could come back to the City Council in written form through Commission meeting minutes of that discussion. Related to an annual work plan suggested for the Commission, Chair Gisselquist questioned if the City Council had a proposed agenda or items for the body when not tied down with land use cases. Councilmember Laliberte spoke in support of an annual work plan, suggesting as an example the whole issue of garages that frequently came forward. Mayor Roe concurred, noting that recreational vehicles was another ongoing is- sue; and suggested guidance from the City Council to the Commission on what would be strategies or through use of the City Council's annual City Council strategies and work plan, and what particular aspects fed into the activities of the advisory commissions, including the Planning Commission. Other suggestions for issues needing further research and analysis and ultimate recommendation to the City Council, some of which were already on staff's radar, but not yet ready for the City Council yet, included outside boat storage; "live person" boulevard advertising; shoreland ordinance; nuisance code; garages; and recreational vehicles. Mayor Roe thanked the Commission for tonight's discussion; and Chair Gissel- quist thanked the City Council for this opportunity. b.
