(16) 5B. ESTABLISHING A DESIGN REVIEW BOARD. Staff report by Jack Lam.
Mr. Dahl commented that the Architectural Design Review Committee should be com-
prised of professional people. He felt that some very important decisions had
been made in the past by only two individuals. He also expressed that the committee
should be held in a public forum in order to avoid misquotes and to allow for more
public input.
Mr. Frost stated that the changes suggested were not minor, but were major policy
decisions.
Mayor Mikels suggested that a subcommittee be appointed to investigate this
thoroughly and to report back to council rather than try to take a vote now.
Mr. Frost stated that we were in a hiring freeze at the time. Perhaps this may be
a good time to look at the entire system before making any changes.
Mr. Wasserman stated that the staff was looking at the entire planning process to
see how to streamline it. Perhaps this could be tied in with staff's study.
Mayor Mikels recommended that Councilman Dahl and Councilman Frost work together
as a subcommittee to investigate and do an analysis and report back to council.
Council concurred with this recommendation.
