§ 16.08.050. Public input.  


Latest version.
  • To assure that adequate inclusive public input is obtained by City Council prior to adoption of the Downtown Waterfront Master Plan, the POD shall receive any written and oral input during the process. The POD shall establish a link to the City's website where persons can post information or comments and which shall identify a point of contact for the receipt of telephone calls, emails and mailed documents and comments. Both the initial and final draft shall be posted on the City's website and transmitted electronically to CONA, the Downtown Partnership, and the Chamber of Commerce for distribution to their membership as they deem appropriate and to any other person who requests, in writing, that they receive an electronic copy. Council Members are available to receive input and shall forward that input to the POD for inclusion in discussions concerning the adoption of the Downtown Waterfront Master Plan.

    All Council Workshops shall be open to the public and the Council may or may not, in their discretion, take public input at any Workshop. The POD shall conduct not less than three public meetings at which the final draft of the Downtown Waterfront Master Plan will be presented and at which members of the public can provide substantive comments or recommendations. The public will also have the opportunity to speak during the public hearings in the adoption process.
