<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Honorable Pete Hoffmann <br /> Chair and Presiding Officer <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> COUNTY COUNCIL <br /> Page 2 <br /> April 15, 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2. Section 4 addresses the details of the "CDP Action Committee" which is so <br /> named to avoid confusion with other councils. <br /> <br /> a. We propose a 9 member Action Committee to provide adequate <br /> representation to compensate for inevitable absences. <br /> b. Committee membership terms and broad selection criteria are spelled out <br /> providing flexibility for the individual CDPs to further define. <br /> <br /> 3. Section 16-6 Duties and responsibilities outlines the nature of the authority and <br /> responsibilities of the Action Committee. The key focus is advisory oversight and <br /> advocacy - providing guidance, community awareness, and partnering with County <br /> government and community-based organizations rather than regulatory. This was <br /> arrived at after considerable debate. We did not want the Action Committee to <br /> duplicate existing regulatory review such as Planning Commission and Board of <br /> Appeals. To make the Action Committee review land use applications that go to the <br /> Planning Commission would create a duplicative layer of government. <br /> <br /> The Committee will monitor the effectiveness and progress of CDP implementation <br /> and provide recommendations on the County CIP and operating budgets. They will <br /> also be the community entity to provide input on CDP and GP amendments and <br /> updates. <br /> <br /> Again, thank you for the opportunity to work collaboratively with you on this effort. <br /> We look forward to sharing with you the upcoming draft CDPs and assisting in their <br /> adoption. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> CH ISTOPHE YUEN <br /> Planning Director <br /> <br /> BK:CJY:pak <br /> COFH3 t\planning\publieWSERS\CDP Implementation Cover Letter <br /> Attachment <br />
