Committeemember Davis asked if that was okay for the rest of the Committee and Council. He went on to restate that Council needed a clearer understanding of the details of development projects. Committeemember Broden stated, Maybe instead of a (1) one -off, do two (2) times per year... incorporating it into the budget process and making some suggestions and recommendations. So, if these are our priorities, which we have said as a Council —you can look at plans all you want, but if there's no funding to have the staff to implement them, or the dollars to march behind it, then it sits on a shelf. Committeemember Davis stated, So, the first meeting will give us a guideline to see where we're going. The second meeting is to look at budgetary options that we need to get ready for the budget. I can see light in that. The Committeemembers deliberated over when to hold these meetings. They mostly favored earlier months in the year, though Committeemember Broden stated that she did not think they needed to pick a specific date during this session. Councilmember Regina Williams- Preston also favored an earlier date. She went on to ask why the West Side Main Streets Plan was not referenced in the bill along with other similar plans and a brief discussion ensued. She expressed that she would have liked to see that plan made visible along with the others listed, as it already lacked visibility in general. It was pointed out that though the bill lists the names of specific plans, it does not state that they are the only plans, there are. Committeemember Oliver Davis agreed with Councilmember Williams- Preston's point, but said nothing about changes to the bill. Mr. Magliozzi stated that all those plans are viewable on the DCI webpage. Committeemember Davis stated, We will cover it all because, like you said, there are issues going on on that side, there are issues that are coming up here. So, we just want to be proactive and that's it. Deliberation continued on how to amend the bill and when to decide on the amendments. Committeemember Davis asked for Councilmember Tim Scott's thoughts on the matter. Councilmember Scott stated that he thought there were some good ideas being proposed and that continuing the discussion at the December 12, 2016 meeting would be better than rushing the decision. Committeemember Davis stated to Councilmember Williams- Preston that he was open to adding things she saw a need to add to the bill. Committeemember John Voorde made a motion to continue Bill No. 16 -90 until December 12, 2016 and Committeemember Jo Broden seconded the motion, which carried by a voice vote of three (3) ayes.
