3.B. Provide a recommendation to the City Council on approving the One and Six Year Plan.
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada reported that the One Year Plan is a statutory requirement to receive certain state and federal money. The Six Year Plan is no longer a statutory requirement, but Ourada stated that it is good to still plan ahead. He took the One and Six Year Plan to the Public Works Committee and they recommended adding 15th Street to the Six Year Plan. After a recommendation is made by the Planning Commission, this will go to the Council for approval before submitting it to the state.

3.C. Update on the annexation proceedings.
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada and attorney Alison Borer updated the Planning Commission members on where the City is at with the annexation proceedings for properties on the east side of town. The Public Works Committee met on these and asked for more information on the costs of extending services to those properties. The Committee recommended moving forward with the annexation of area #6, as the property owners have plans to develop the land and would like to do so as soon as possible.
The next step is for the City Council to pass a resolution for each area, setting a public hearing date for the annexation, that will include a plan for each area to connect to city services. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing for area #6 at next month's meeting, and dependent on the outcome of the next Council meeting, will hold hearings for the rest of the properties the following month. |
