DATE: March 19, 2004
TO: Mayor Cushing / Homer City Council
FROM: Walt Wrede
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment / Long Fiscal Planning Schedule
This proposed amendment to the planning schedule attempts to incorporate some of the discussions the Council has had recently about how the planning process should proceed. After a great deal of discussion (Council Member Novak, the Chamber, Scott Goldsmith, and myself) about dates that would work, we have settled on Tuesday, April 13th as the day for our meeting with Scott Goldsmith. The schedule below reflects that and adjusts the remainder of your adopted schedule and work tasks accordingly.
Monday, April 12th: Workshop cancelled. This would become a normal meeting day with COH at 4PM and Regular meeting at 7PM.
Tuesday, April 13th: 9AM to Noon and 1:30 to 4PM: Public Forum on Economic Development and Long Term Fiscal Planning jointly sponsored by the Homer City Council and the Homer Chamber of Commerce. Scott Goldsmith is featured guest.
Monday, April 26th: Workshop, 1:30 to 4 PM: Staff presents Council with a draft long range fiscal plan for review and discussion. The Plan would be placed on the regular agenda also so that Council can take action by making amendments and authorizing staff to release the document for public review and comment.
Monday, May 10th: Public Hearing. A resolution is included on the Agenda for adoption of the Fiscal Plan. Final adoption could take place at this meeting or the Council could extend the process if it determines more time is needed.
