WRB Minutes – Special Meeting October 29, 2015 Page 1 of 2 Staff reviewed the Land Use Code language regarding the Board’s advisory role to the Community Development Department and Planning Commission. In this regard, the CDD Director and Planning Manager had concluded that a data analysis workshop with the board on the wetland methodology was not possible, however CDD would move forward with additional board education on the methodology to address questions. Staff provided additional written comments on the JWMP Volume I from Ms. Wright, and noted that the Planning Commission did not make any formal comments on the JWMP at the October 27, 2015 meeting. Board members emphasized the need to finalize the wetland plan so the information could be used by the community. Board members discussed the need for wetland categorization, and whether CDD, the Board, consultants, or another entity would do the categorization. The conclusion was that CDD staff would provide the Board with a framework for addressing categorization. Board members requested that Dr. Adamus return to the board for 3-4 meetings to review specific wetland assessment examples point by point. Staff agreed to move forward with developing a contract amendment in this regard. IX. Next meeting: Thursday November 19, 5:15 p.m., in City Hall room 224.
