City Council Meeting Minutes January 19, 2018 Page 5of7 Members decided to include one meeting to discuss what Council's policy is and articulate that to the Historical Commission and History Foundation. Members decided to have an additional meeting to discuss if polling is needed and what it might include; the museum or other topics or a combination of topics on which to poll. COMMUNITY DESIGN Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked about the #18 Sign Code Update as he would like it done quickly but now it is attached to the design guidelines. He would like to make sure it doesn't spill to 2019. Zuccaro stated there is no reason to think it cannot be completed this year and there will be a public process with it. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton would like it a high priority. Members agreed to make this high priority. #25 Sketch Plan Process — Councilmember Maloney noted this was discussed recently and he doesn't think we need further discussion. Councilmember Stolzmann stated this is not a high priority Councilmember Loo would like to consider this. She stated we have some large parcels and no conceptual idea of what could happen on them; having a sketch plan/concept plan would be very useful. This would give someone an idea of what might float for a property. Five members support postponing and two for completion Remove from list for 2018 #21 Review Permit Fees — Councilmember Stolzmann would like this done earlier than Q3 as it affects budget. Zuccaro stated staff is looking at a consultant to help with this so a budget amendment would allow this to happen earlier. Councilmember Stolzmann stated this is really important and we should do the process internally and contract out something else to allow for it City Manager Balser stated there is an attraction to having a third party look at what we are doing for fees. Zuccaro stated some of this is a time issue and it would require a time commitment from multiple departments, but we feel it is better to bring in a third party and be totally objective. Councilmember Stolzmann stated if we do this in-house we have the opportunity to review and know our processes better Members agreed to bring this to Council Q2 #22 Historic Preservation Funding — Councilmember Loo asked why we need this one. Director Zuccaro stated this is needed with the reapproval of the tax and also there is a review of this required in the Historic Preservation Master Plan. Members decided to leave as presented. #16 Miners Cabins — Members agreed to change to one regular meeting. ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
