A <br /> work group was authorized to look into <br /> unresolved issues and alternative <br /> development options that reflected <br /> comments received at the meetings, <br /> augmented with guidance from the Board. <br /> The work group idea was deferred in favor <br /> of Board discussion of a staff report. <br /> The report (attached) outlines <br /> "unresolved" issues and presents ideas <br /> for discussion on ways of accommodating <br /> community comment (also attached) into <br /> the package. Finally, a proposed schedule <br /> for consideration is included. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: For review and discussion. <br />
