2. PURPOSE OF MEETING.
A joint meeting was held with the Council and Advisory Committee to discuss the role
and potential areas of involvement for the Rancho Cucamonga Advisory Committee.
Mayor Frost clarified the role of the Advisory Committees as being an advisory body
to the Council and Planning Commission for both short and long range activities.
Mayor Frost also stated that it is the responsibility of the Advisory Committees
to second guess many of the residents that are unable to actively participate in
Council and Advisory Committee meetings.
Don Baer stated that, in addition, the Advisory Committees serve as a sounding board
for the community as various issues come up.
Michael Zinkin stated that he felt the Advisory Committees needed more lead time to
consider items brought to the meeting for their consideration. In this way, the
Advisory Committees could better evaluate each item.
Mayor Frost stated he shares concerns of Advisory Committee members of crisis
presentations, but added that many issues have come up that quickly.
Mr. Wasserman stated staff has not felt comfortable about having to press for
review of issues so quickly because it may come back to haunt us all eventually.
Chairman John Vlasic stated it may be appropriate at this time to identify issues
that need to be studied and that the Advisory Committees will eventually become
involved.
Sharon Romero stated that Advisory Committees need to study absenteeism of members
of the Advisory Committee and clarf~ attendance policy.
Chairman John Vlasic stated that a list of goals and priorities should be prepared.
Developmental Goals:
1. Attendance policy (alternatives).
2. Feedback and communication (minutes of other meetings disseminated to
Advisory Committees with action taken) Council/Planning Commission, etc.
