DISCUSSION:
Connie Beardsley explained that she had just come from a meeting with the Community
Development Director and the Planning Director. Not all elements will be updated. The Planning
Commission wants to know if the Arts Commission feels the Arts Element is satisfactory as is or
if changes are needed. If the Commission recommends changes, to what degree? Will the Arts
Commission recommend a major rewrite or minor revisions?
Commissioner Wrench presented a draft of the letter to be sent to the Planning Department
describing the extent of the changes recommended. Mr. Wrench said he had spoken with
Dennis Turner that morning to clarify what was needed. Mr. Wrench stated that the Arts Element
included things that would be nice to do but were not specific enough. The document was
somewhat amorphous.
Commissioner Ladouceur mentioned she felt the paragraph discussing the relationship of the
Arts Element to the other elements made her uncomfortable. She wanted to be sure that the Arts
were strong enough to stand alone and were not there solely to serve the other elements.
The Commission then discussed the letter in detail and made editorial corrections. On motion
by Commissioner Spencer, the Arts Commission approved the letter with corrections be sent to
the Planning Department.
AYES: Meilach, Wrench, Ladouceur, Spencer
