PlanningBoard | 2008-04-28 | 6 | Board member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that the StopWaste.org version of the green building ordinance had been approved at the last meeting, and had been sent to City Council. She was concerned that the Task Force had not been consulted for the wish list. Board member Cunningham replied that the green building ordinance contained only one of the findings. Vice President Kohlstrand would like more information on the Estuary study. She noted that Director Woodbury had attended the joint meeting with the City Council, and returned to the Planning Board for a mid-year discussion. She hoped that would become a regular occurrence to discuss how projects fit into the CIP. She noted that she would abstain because there was nothing in the document that discussed conformance to the General Plan. President Cook agreed with Vice President Kohlstrand, and would like further clarification of the Planning Board's role in this plan. She was not prepared to say it was consistent with the General Plan, but that it was no reflection on the work done by Public Works. Ms. Kozisek noted that there was almost no new construction in the CIP, and that it was generally reconstructing or repairing existing items. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether it would be possible to bifurcate the CIP report so the Planning Board may have more time to consider the full information. Mr. Biggs inquired whether the Plan would go to the City Council for approval. Ms. Kozisek replied that they would begin to hold workshops in late May; there will be one or two meetings to discuss the CIP, followed by a vote. President Cook requested that the Board be allowed the time to examine the unfunded projects and decide on a course of action. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft concurred with that suggestion, and inquired about the other Boards and Commissions that may want to weigh in. Mr. Biggs suggested continuing this item to May 12, 2008, and given the time constraint, he did not know whether they would be able to distribute the CIP to the Boards and Commissions in time. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft suggested that the Climate Protection Task Force be made a priority in examining the unfunded projects. President Cook inquired whether the Planning Board had the authority to recommend that a project be placed on the funded or unfunded list for review. Ms. Kozisek noted that staff would put any request on the unfunded list, including proposals from the general public. To get on the proposed list, it must go through the City Manager and Public Works, and money must be available for it. President Cook suggested that this item be deferred, and that a meeting be held with the Planning Director to explain how the Board may have meaningful input into the capital budgeting process.
