Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 13, 2007 Page 27 comment and agency review period, allowing for public comment at the August 20, 2007 meeting. Councilmember Pust, in her effort to move the group to compromise, and recognizing that the City Council was taking public comment be- cause they sincerely wanted to know what the public thought and take those comments into account, suggested a proposed motion. Coun- cilmember Pust opined that, while staff, consultants, and the City Council thought they had foreseen all issues, the City Council was al- lowing additional public comment time to give everyone in the City an opportunity to make comment at the August 20, 2007 meeting. Councilmember Pust's proposed motion was: "By resolution, determine that the Twin Lakes Business Park AUAR Update is complete and accurate, and authorize its distribution - IN THE FORM DI- RECTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AFTER RECEIVING PUBLIC INPUT ON AUGUST 20, 2007, to the organizations on the EQB's EAW distribution list for a review and objection period, BEGINNING NO EARLIER THAN AUGUST 27, 2007." Mr. Carlson opined that, while the document contained a myriad of information, citizen comments should be considered as well. Mr. Carlson further opined that staff was confident that the document was as complete and accurate as possible, was based on the EQB docu- ment, and staff s analysis of the various scenarios. Mr. Carlson sug- gested that there may be a policy question: "Are those scenarios con- sistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, as directed by the City Council?"

Mr. Carlson opined that, if the City Council as apolicy-making body, didn't feel the document reflected their decisions to-date, then they could take issue with that. Additional discussion ensued regarding the proposed motion and pur- pose of specific language and actions; and need to hear public com- ment and allow time for reflection, staff comment or potential re- search. Roe moved, Pust seconded, tabling action on authorizing the distribu- tion of the Draft Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) Up-
