Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 13, 2016 Page 23 districts thereby not allowing significant changes to be noticed and vetted by neighborhoods being affected by the corresponding changes as proposed. With- out an opportunity for those neighborhoods or community areas to review those sections and goals, or to voice their concerns, Councilmember McGehee opined that negated ownership by those neighborhoods in the process. Otherwise, Coun- cilmember McGehee opined that she thought the sections, goals and overall vision was good, but it simply lacked that necessary outreach component and engage- -- -- - —_ ---- ment at the level neighborhood and community within the city for the whole plan. Specific to the scope of the update, Councilmember McGehee stated that only a few technical updates were needed due mostly to legislative changes since 2008. Councilmember McGehee opined that the vision was fine, but the vision was be- fore the new normal; and it didn't hurt in this process to take that vision back to smaller neighborhoods to take their pulse and malce sure everything was still rele- vant.

Councilmeinber Etten stated he would support a middle-of-the-road approach, or option "b' with a technical and content update. Councilmeinber Etten suggested some areas needing more time spend on them included housing and economic de- velopment; and expressed appreciation for Public Works Director Culver's intent to provide connectivity with the community's Pathway Master Plan, and suggest- ed including that connectivity outside the city or regionally as well. Also as the city moves forward in reviewing development proposals, Councilmember Etten suggested a more in-depth look, form a public works or parks and recreation per- spective, how those pieces connect (e.g. water, climate, health, etc.) and consider them part of the comprefiensive plan as well. Councilmember Laliberte stated her agreement with her colleagues for the most part, noting that the City Council and community had been addressing those areas of the 2008 plan that didn't seem right or needed refinement over the last few years. Regarding the scope, Councilmember Laliberte supported option "b" to make sure the updated plan was current. Councilmember Laliberte agreed that
