1. Approval of Minutes
The minutes from the May 28 and June 22 CPP meetings were approved, with several
changes to the June 22 minutes.
2. Expanding the CRP Citywide
Discussion of the proposed CRP expansion began with a review of comments from the
Infrastructure Committee at their two meetings at which the topic was discussed These
included suggestions that certain interests be represented, such as the housing
Authority and the Guard. Representatives can be encouraged to apply, and the final
decision is that of the Council. It was also suggested that there be representation for
each watershed, and that too many representatives would make the group unwieldy.
The recent draft of the CPP charter, which provides Por a devote expansion, provides
that the terms of certain members will go Beyond the stated end date of the CPP, in
order to provide for staggered terms in case the CRP lasts beyond 2011. CRP members
concluded to let the City decide which members would fill which terms.
No new vice -chair has been selected yet by the City Council
Staff will ask members through a survey if they would like to be transferred to a new
Citywide committee, and which length of term they would prefer.
It was then suggested that the role of the CPP and the timeline for the utility district
needs to be reviewed. A discussion on the role of the CRP then ensued. A suggestion
was made that members state their opinion as to what their role is. Another suggestion
was to have Council representatives in the CRP, or to have a Council stormwater
committee. The topics of data, fundin& and a Use Attainability Analysis came up, along
with the possibility of hiring Bill Kreutaberger again.
Members and staff determined that three items need to be discussed at the next
meeting: the timeline of the utility feasibility study and implementation; current and
prospective data monitoring activities, along with cost estimates and where the.
sufficiency and cost estimates are coming from; and what the responsibilities of the
group are. After these have been discussed, the group will come back to the details of a
citywide expansion.
3. Other Business
The meeting concluded at approximately 1:30pm.
