It was the consensus of the Committee that the LDC meetings are run concurrently with the regular meeting and to be "part" of the regular meeting. Ana will coordinate those meetings. Some of the members did not realize the meeting was at 2:00 for the LDC amendments and did not have time to review the information being that it was given to them that day. They would like to receive their packets in advance of their regular meetings. Keeping up with the codes on the web site was discussed. Joe Schmitt reported the budget isn't finalized yet. Have the two separate funds discussed at the last meeting. Will be a more precise budget close to $ lbillion. He discussed the different accounts and positions that will be moved around. No expanded positions next year. Projected increases will be shared when finalized. Planning fees may be doubled. The committee voiced their opinion on the level of service if fees are doubled. Joe would have to double staff and raise fees - it's a trade off. Many issues were discussed from enhancing the level of services, reviewing and pulling projects, misunderstanding on the process, changing the rules, not getting any answers and revising the rule book.
