She highlighted the 2006 Highway 42 Revitalization Area Urban Renewal Plan as the main governing document of the LRC. She also reminded the LRC of the strategy exercise undertaken in 2022 and the work plan created in 2023 on the basis of the strategy report provided by DCI. These documents were included in the meeting packet. Staff are requesting the LRC to review the current Work Plan and determine if they will continue to follow this plan or if it needs to be revised. If revision is desired, staff requests direction on priorities for 2024. Commissioner Comments: Commissioner Harald commented that he feels that there are other items on the work plan and it's too big a lift to review line by line today and make a determination. Commissioner Lipton agreed with Commissioner Harald and commented that he struggles to see how the requests reduce blight in the plan. He mentioned that he would like to spend time going through the work plan but not today. Chair Adler commented that it was her understanding that the purpose of this agenda item was to review the work plan during today's meeting. The EV Manager offered to go through the work plan and identify how each item relates back to the 2006 governing documents and eliminates blight. Chair Adler asked the Commission to provide staff with comments as requested.
