Councilmember Ihlan suggested a <br />development newsletter or more use of the web�ite to alert <br />the public. <br />City Planner Thomas Paschke noted that the City didn't <br />have a project until staff received an application; and <br />advised that staff tried to encourage as much <br />communication as feasible, by the developer and staff, once <br />a solid project was applied for. Mr. Paschke noted <br />developer involvement with neighborhoods through <br />informational meetings; and further noted that July would <br />be staffs first attempt to get a draft agenda on the websitie <br />for upcoming projects. <br />Commissioner Mary Bateman reviewed various <br />communications methods in place, including community <br />
