Agenda Review
Chair Smith provided background on the board's role and what the audience could expect as to the order
of business. He described the following processes:
• Citizen Participation is an opportunity for citizens to address the board on non -agenda related
items.
• Consent agenda items are considered items which have no known opposition. They are
approved collectively at the beginning of the meeting unless a board member, staff or audience
member requests an item is pulled and moved to the discussion agenda.
• Discussion agenda items will include an applicant presentation, a staff presentation, and public
comment.
• At the time of public comment, he asked that you come to the podium, state your name and
address for the record, and sign -in. He asked that the speaker clearly state their position. He
encouraged speakers to share comments relevant to the topic under discussion.
• Responses by applicant and staff will follow public comment.
• The board will deliberate and reach a decision once a motion has been made and a vote taken.
• He will begin each new item with a description of the development type being considered. The
board will do their best not to use acronyms or jargon.
Director Laurie Kadrich reviewed the items on both the Consent and Discussion agendas. She noted
that one item that was previously on the Discussion agenda has been requested to be moved to the
Consent agenda, specifically the Foothills Mall Redevelopment Phase Two Major Amendment. Deputy
City Attorney Eckman asked if anyone present, citizens or Board members, wanted to remove any items
from the Consent agenda.
Citizen participation:
Peggy Grice, 2254 Eastwood Drive, requested discussion of the Spring Creek Farms North PDP;
therefore, this item will be pulled from the Consent agenda and added to the Discussion agenda.
