an understanding of what each plan does. If you come to any of us, you're going to understand what that means and what they do, and how does it affect your jobs down here, and then attach the existing plans to each one of those three types of plans. Most of the plans are really initiated by the City, rarely by us. We obviously participate in some of those plans, like the East Bank Plan was something we participated in. But if you were actually looking for changes on a regular basis, that becomes a different challenge, because that obviously requires dollars and staff time. But the first step is to report back to you on whatever schedule you feel is comfortable for you. That shouldn't be a problem at all. Committeemember Davis stated, Whether I'm chairing this committee next year or somebody else is, part of the opening plan should be able to have those kinds of meetings at the beginning of the year. Brian Pawlowski, Interim Executive Director, Department of Community Investment, with offices on the 14th Floor of the County -City Building, stated that the earlier in the year, the better. He stated, When we end up doing updates in the redevelopment plans, they usually have to go before the RDC. Committeemember Davis stated, So, if we could use this conversation in January or February, regarding a summary of what's potentially coming down the road, it would help us to really sharpen up all of our tools from all three (3) of our areas. Our Committees here from Zoning, and the Department of Community Investment, and the Area Plan Commission. We can have that coming into the year. If there are any major developments, we can make sure all of our processes are together. I think that's going to help us flow. If we see some curves up the road, we can all start preparing faster and not get caught out here in the storm. Councilmember Tim Scott stated, One thing we have been doing is building a schedule —a reminder on the calendar. I suggest that maybe we work out a time, if this passes favorably, which I'm sure it will —put a time on the calendar, and we can have those updates. Committeemember Broden asked, As a sponsor, had you considered something along the line of joint - committee hearings, where this would sort of be Neighborhood and a Community Investment... ? Committemember Davis stated, I'm open to that. Committeemember Broden stated, Looking at the charges for our committees that might be a fit, and then writing it with the activities out in Community Investment. So, a Council's request to schedule meetings and then they maybe - Committeemember Davis interjected, asking Council Attorney Cekanski- Farrand, Is it still possible that we can look on it in the documents —for between now and 7 o'clock? Council Attorney Cekanski- Farrand responded, I would think that if we have a good record of that request, that would be enough.
