MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
Amendments to Plan Commission policies and meeting schedules. Mayor Slocomb
addressed the Commission stating that due to balancing the budget and not raising the City
portion of the tax rate, it has been necessary to get rid of two positions in the Plan Department.
There will be no intern hired next year and the Assistant Plan Director position has been
eliminated. Plan Director Turk is looking for direction from the Commission on several items
that he feels need to be addressed to continue running the Plan Department in an efficient
manner while also expanding duties to include economic development. Currently the
Engineering and Planning Departments have general service agreements with consulting
engineering firms to review engineering plans. Director Turk is proposing to obtain general
service agreements with several consulting firms to have them review items being submitted to
the Plan Commission. Under Mr. Turk’s direction the consulting engineers will review
proposals, draft supplements and resolutions. Smaller items, such as accessory structures and
certified survey maps will be reviewed by staff. Mr. Turk is also proposing to have one Plan
Commission meeting per month, but keep the third Tuesday open should the agenda become
too large or for special need cases. This will give Mr. Turk the opportunity to work on the
goals set for him for economic development. Discussion ensued regarding a number of items
including the cost for reviewing the larger submittals, the benefit for farming out submittals, and
having a time limit on the meeting. The consensus of the Commission was to have two shorter
meetings per month and secure general service agreements for the reviews.
Mr. Turk also requested input regarding consent items for new signs for businesses. Again,
looking for direction as to whether approval for these items could be done administratively.
The complex signs would be brought to the Plan Commission. Consensus of Commission was
to have the signs brought to Plan Commission.

recreation / horse trails. Due to the staff cuts, the Plan Department will not be able to assist the
Park Board in this endeavor. Mr. Hulbert announced that the Park Board plans on moving
forward without going to the Plan Department. The Board’s intention is to look in the southwest
quadrant of the City for equestrian developments. The Board will obtain maps and submit to
the Plan Commission for their comments and suggestions.
