ACH-CITY PLANNER ~ <br />DATE: FEBRUARY 28,1994 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR TWO PLANNING <br />COMMISSION MEMBERS TO <br />ATTEND OUT OF STATE NATIONAL <br />PLANNING CONFERENCE <br /> <br />In accordance with the 1994 goals established by the Planning Commission, the <br />Commission would like to request Council authorization to send two Planning <br />Commission members to the National Planning Conference in San Francisco during <br />April 16th through the 20th. This is the same conference that I will be attending and <br />offers Planning Commission members the identical agenda and conference sessions, <br />workshops, and mobile tours. Some ofthe topics that will be discussed include: <br /> <br /> . Growth management strategies <br />e . Transportation planning <br /> . Update on legal issues <br /> . Wetland Protection <br /> . Trends in housing industry <br /> . Economic Development <br /> . Urban design standards <br /> <br />In addition to these conference topics, several workshops will be conducted that are <br />designed specifically for Planning Commission members. These workshops give <br />Commission members an overview of diverse and complicated issues providing them <br />enough background information to make sound decisions. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission's 1994 budget as adopted by the City Council, included <br />expenditures for two Planning Commission members to attend the National Conference <br />upon approval by the City Council. In the event the City Council has any questions or <br />comments regarding this request, Dan Tveite, Planning Commission Chairman, will be <br />in attendance at Monday night's meeting. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />P.O.
