Working on the Subdivision Regulations was more difficult than Harold thought that it
would be. Kathyrn and Harold have talked informally about Kathym representing the
Parks Board on the Subdivision Regulations Committee next year. The Century Plan and
the Subdivision Regulations are going to be compared to see where they don't match.
There is going to be quite a bit of lead in work to the Subdivision Regulations Committee
next year, in addition to the committee itself. The Subdivision appointment for Kathyrn
will start in December. This committee meets for 3 months weekly for 1 112 hours.
There are some big issues for the Park Board Vice - Chair. The River Corridor, and the
Recreation Center are two examples. The biggest issues to deal with are long range
planning issues (Parkland Dedication, Subdivision Regulations in the Century Plan).
The 7 am meeting could be changed to a lunch meeting.
Motion was made for Vice -Chair nomination to be tabled until the next Parks and
Recreation Board meeting. Second was made by Kathym Stallard. The vote was
unanimous.
