any comments? Any anybody need any any uh public any comments on on nominations or calendar or anything? Great. Okay. So, let's talk about new business. So um the the toolo pronto application um
we've we've been asked uh to push this meeting to uh to the February meeting of which we've agreed in principle um to do there there is um a I think two objecting parties that would like to be
heard and had conflicts uh for tonight so they they were not able to attend. So, uh, look, in the interest in hearing all opinions and giving everybody a chance to speak, we've we've agreed to move, uh, the meeting until February.
Pardon? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> May I confirm, Sen, that we have jurisdiction in this matter? We've received the appropriate amendments and notice. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, we have jurisdiction in this matter, but I do know Mr. Anderson, your case wants to be heard. >> Uh, Mr. Anderson, would you like to
speak? >> Um, I think Mr. Provad may just want me to put on the record that we would consent uh to extend the time to hear and decide the application. I omitted that from my letter, but of course we would. >> Okay, great. Thank you very much. >> That would be the business of the
motion. The application would be to carry to February. The applicant has agreed to wave time limits. It's really not even the gapping was prepared, but as a courtesy to the objectors, they have to I I think it's in the order. We've taken jurisdiction. We can get to marketing
exhibits next. >> Great. Um, do we need a vote for that? >> Make make a motion to carry to the February meeting and then we can announce there won't be any new notice to anyone who's going to be heard on this matter.
I don't see anyone in the audience, but because we've taken jurisdiction under the theory that anyone who wanted to be heard could be here this evening, we're going to not have the applicant renotic. So it's going to be carried to February without you notice.
>> All motions all that. >> I'll second it. >> Mr. Bush. >> Yes. >> Mr. Olsen. >> Yes. >> Mr. S. >> Yes. >> Mr. Pal. >> Yes. >> Mr. B. >> Yes.
>> Mr. Anderson. >> Yes. >> And Mr. >> Yes. Thank you all. >> Thank you, Mr. >> U. So with with regards to carrying the the application to February, we there
there was another application uh in the pipeline to be heard in February. That's the the PO um the PO studio on River Road. Uh they were here I think three meetings ago with um and and decided to
pull their application um uh after all the testimony. they've uh they've now decided to resubmit the application and and be heard again. Um from where I'm I just don't think it's going to be
possible to hear two applications um especially if there's going to be an application with um objecting you know objecting counsel and and so the the presentation of the first of the the tool application is likely to be um you
know a lengthy type of meeting. So, I'm going to suggest and wanted to hear from everybody. Um, just make sure everybody was on board with this. I'm going to suggest that we push the PO application to March and just want to make sure
nobody had any suggestions for that. >> Just to also provide I think Mr. Gardella deemed this application complete earlier this month. >> I did. >> So, we have 120 days before we need to convene. So we deemed the application complete.
>> Oh, so before I I did a recommendation. Yeah. >> Yeah. I was on February 6. >> Yes. >> Was the date that your letter seeing them complete. So >> So you're you're within your time limits to carry it out to March.
>> Okay. So I I'll motion that we do that as second. Great. Uh, Mrs. Bush, >> yes. >> Mr. Olsson, >> yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. Pola, >> yes.
>> Yes. >> Mr. Anderson, >> yes. >> And >> yes. >> Okay. Um, we have no hold business. Um, in terms of administrative items, I I'd like to give an update um on the on the
master plan. Uh and so the uh the planner has has the survey. Uh we had a call last week um with with the planner and Chris York. Um we are awaiting some further um subcommittee members, but we
should be able to um you know get comments I think over the next week or two on the survey from Chris and from the planner and then we'll be able to send this I I we'll be we'll have to then market the survey and
and get the survey out into the open um for for people to respond and and Uh, I know DJ Breenidge has volunteered to help us uh utilize the council, I'm sorry, the the bureau's resources in that regard. And um and then once the uh
once we have the subcommittee members finalized and voted upon, which I hope will be next meeting, um then the planner will start scheduling the meetings with each of the subcommittees. Um and and so that's kind of where we are. >> What's our We're going to be I'm sorry.
What's our end? Um >> August >> August we have to be done and dusted by our August meeting or like are we >> the August meeting will vote to >> vote >> we'll vote to to pass the uh the elements. >> Okay. All right. So Fred from a timeline
perspective we're waiting to hear back on the subcommittees which we expect there's one there's so I believe all the subcommittees that we have you know we've listed names for each of the subcommittees there were some individuals that needed to be that I I
think the bureau felt you know based on their service and you you know serving in in other capacities in the government um should be included in in subcommitt And so we're just waiting on who those people are submitting.
>> No, just well the we may move people around between the between the subcommittees. So the names that have been brought forward already while we haven't voted on them, which we will need to do. Okay. >> But I I think those those names will will pretty much survive the process.
And so um as long as we vote them as long as we vote them in, right? Um, and then there's some other some other people that that needed to be involved. Yeah. And >> we have new members. We have members that go long. So, >> yeah, >> we want to adjust for that. >> Do we need a back fill for Mr.
>> Um, we're going to need a new member. Yeah. So, we we have one other new member. Um, well, uh, Jim wasn't heading up one of the other. >> So, um, but in terms of membership on the board, we're we're going to need another another board member. And I
think we're still short one after um after that. So we haven't yet but more from a timeline perspective. So next meeting we'll vote. >> Next meeting will vote on subcommittee and start moving quickly. >> Well we yeah I mean look the the
planner's already done I think a fair amount of work. There's a data room um that has you know a number of documents in it already. And so I I think they're they've you know started doing the things that they that they need to do. So yeah,
>> just speak to that. >> Yeah. >> Just just so you know, there's there's a number of things that are going to be standard in the report. Your soils aren't going to change even. So, you know, the those types of things, where your water is, where you
get water, where your aquifers are, what your historical data is, a lot of that is just, you know, sort of updating. So, a lot of that is done. Your zoning map, your land use map, you know, those are things that can be worked on without without necessarily having the
subcommittee do it. And to the extent that you did those things in in the past, it's now just updating those. So you have a lot of things are I don't want to make it seem simple like a plugin but it's not like you're reinventing as to looking forward as to
where you are with your past goals and where you are. That's a that's a check off list. You know did we take care of this? Did we take care of this? If there's still an outstanding item is it still relevant are we doing it? And that's where the subcommittees are going to speak to that and inform what's going
on. Also just to to get off so I don't speak too long. you know there really we're really doing two things come August you know not everybody does this but you do these you do two things so that it is
it's economical it's not only is it the re-examination report of our our master plan is still viable and here's what we need to do but it's also if you need to to amend the master plan you do those so we don't do those in separate hearings same notice
requirements we're still sending it out to all the folks but then you have one hearing that you can hear what we need and then where we want to amend the master plan to do that you do that also. Okay. So it's it it it doesn't make the
hearing two times as long. It really just implements what you're doing in re-examination if everybody's on board to deal. >> What are the two things is a med? What's the first one? >> Re-examination report. The re-examination report has to be done at a minimum once every 10 years. You can
do it sooner and in fact we've we've done some of the constituent elements already. The land you the the housing and those things were already done principally when we had to do things for the affordable housing. So that that's usually a fairly large element. That's
pretty much done. Um, and you're going to have now amend a couple of the zoning things to include those things in your master plan and then identify them. Um, and any recommendations we have then for maybe changes in ordinances. So, it's it's the re-examination report that
gives you the presumption of validity in land use law that what we do is is appropriate. If you let it lapse, you suddenly lose that. That's that's not a good thing to have. That's why we continue to do that. Okay.
questions, any other questions, comments from the public, anything. >> Are the documents stored somewhere where I could >> There's a Yeah. So, we'll make we'll make that that link available to everyone. There's a a link from CCH that
has all the folders in it. Yeah. >> If Yeah, we might as well forward that to everybody. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Um, so, so going back to one other thing you said, we are we are still missing. There's still plenty board seat that's open. So there is
>> Yeah. >> Are we recruiting or we the mayor? >> I mean we can recruit as much as you want. It's not >> Yeah. No. Yeah. Like suggestions the mayor. >> Yeah. I mean that fair point. Fair point.
>> Yeah. I mean >> Yeah. We report suggestions. >> Yeah. >> Um anything else anybody? and we'll move to we'll just do the minutes then. Yeah. Um the minutes were distributed uh prior
to the meeting. Um I I reviewed I I don't have any comments. I I don't know if anyone else does. Minutes from the November meeting. Make a motion to approve the minutes from the November 18th, 2025 regular meeting. Second.
