City Council Work Session Meeting Monday, March 19, 2018 Page 18 Commission level, several options were discussed as to how to format the chap- ter. The Planning Commission decided to include as much specificity as possible as to who is responsible for the action items in the plan, how they will happen, and how they will be paid for. All of those details are included in the matrix. Councilmember McGehee complimented staff and consultants for this excellent chapter. She suggested including implementation strategies in every single chap- ter in their briefer form, with Chapter 13 creating the full summary. She com- mended the Planning Commission for helping to create this, because it would not get done any other time in this detail and in this way. She suggested this chapter is a good internal, high-level document for the City, but not something the general public would read, nor something that should be distributed to neighboring com- munities. This would be a working document that evolves over the next few years. Councilmember Etten questioned how this information could be consolidated to be included in each chapter. Councilmember McGehee clarified the lengthy document should be an important internal document,but not distributed to neighboring communities. Mayor Roe summarized that Councilmember McGehee is okay with the goal and action strategies being included in this summary chapter, but not the who, when, and how categories being in this chapter. Councilmember Etten noted he appreciated the clarity of this chapter, and he is not as inclined to pull it out. The color-coding is very helpful. He suggested giv- ing page references to the original chapter wherein the goal is discussed. Addi- tionally, he noted that the last three goal and action strategy areas around Surface Water, Water Supply and Sanitary Sewer are in a different order than they are in the chapters. Councilmember McGehee suggested the matrix should be presented vertically on the page, which would make it easier to view, as opposed to requiring the reader to turn the paper. There does not seem to be any question that this is a nice piece of work, and an important one. Instead of carrying around the whole document, this is the part of the Comp Plan that the Council should keep at hand, perhaps even in the back of the Council binders. She does not think in this full-blown format it belongs in the Comp Plan. Councilmember Laliberte does not feel strongly either way, i.e., vertically or hor- izontally or including the entire chapter in its current form or moving the details to the index. She echoed Councilmember Etten's comments on including refer- ences back to the original chapter. She also asked the Finance Commission to re- view the dollars column in the matrix.
