Title
Request to Consider Using Planning Commission Funds for Form Based Code Training
Report
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission has requested a training take place on the topic of Form Based Codes. At the April 28, 2021 Planning Commission Meeting, Planner Manager Reena Brilliot informed the Commission that a joint training on the subject is being coordinated for the City Council, Downtown Task Force and Planning Commission with a tentative date of July 15, 2021. The cost for the training is expected to be approximately $1500 to $2000.
DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission has remaining funds in FY 2020/21 in the amount of approximately $4800. These funds could be used to pay for the Form Based Code Training as this is a Planning specific topic and there is no other funding source identified for this type of training. If the Commission wishes to fund the training a vote will need to take place to approve the expenditure.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Commission agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting.
