Commissioners say they lack adequate time to review development agreement

Several commissioners told staff they had not been given adequate time to review the latest draft of the development agreement and asked for more time. A commissioner (S1) said, "We are never given enough time to review any of this stuff and especially in this one, it's so important," and urged staff to distribute the current draft immediately so commissioners can compile substantive comments.

Staff (S2) explained the process the commission should follow: compile written comments, read them into the record at the open meeting so they can be included with the commission's formal recommendation, and send the consolidated comments to the city council. Commissioners discussed options for meeting dates (including the 17th, 24th and 28th) and acknowledged some members would be absent on earlier dates, reinforcing the need for a date that allows substantive review.
