Ms. Stem noted that Ms. Maxwell worked hard on putting the <br />document together. <br /> <br />Chairperson Arkin concurred and indicated that the Element would now proceed to the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fox indicated that she would like to see the Element come back to the <br />Commission, even as a Consent Calendar item. Ms. Harryman suggested that staff make the <br />proposed changes and electronically distribute the final draft to the Commissioners for their <br />review, and should any of the Commissioners have any issues, the document could be brought <br />back to the Commission as a Consent Calendar item. <br /> <br />No action was taken. <br /> <br />EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, May 24, 2006 <br /> <br />Page 80f8 <br />
