Commission discusses dog-park subcommittee process, public-notice thresholds
Summary
Commissioners debated how a dog-park subcommittee would develop recommended locations, whether notice is required, and whether to present a slate of candidate sites to council before final selection.
The commission discussed forming a dog-park subcommittee and the process it would follow if created.
Lisa said creating the subcommittee does not require public notice. She said any commission recommendation of a specific location would trigger public-hearing notices and a 500-foot resident-notification radius; the commission would consider subcommittee recommendations and could forward a slate of candidate locations to city council.
Commissioners discussed a two-step approach in which a subcommittee would present a ranked list of three or four candidate locations to the commission, the commission would check with council about the list, and then the subcommittee would pursue full public notice on the locations favored by both bodies. Lisa said staff could perform noticing for all locations on a short list once that list is identified.
No formal action was taken; creation of the subcommittee and any subsequent location recommendation would follow the noticing and public-hearing processes described.
