Summary

Commissioners signaled renewed urgency on reach codes for new development, asked staff to form an ad hoc committee (temporary, single‑subject) rather than a standing subcommittee, and encouraged commissioners to begin drafting model language.

Commissioners told the panel they wanted to restart work on reach codes and recommended using an ad hoc committee to speed drafting. One commissioner argued for moving quickly: "Let's get these reach reach codes in place," and said many cities are already adopting similar templates.

The commission discussed prior work done last year, staffing gaps after a member left and how to use commissioner expertise to draft code language. Chair Fleming and commissioners agreed to pursue the ad hoc committee approach so the item could move forward without creating a long‑term Brown Act subject body.
