COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 01/19/2021 ITEM NO: 5
DATE: January 14, 2021
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Extend the Term of the General Plan Update Advisory
Committee
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution to extend the term of the General Plan Update Advisory Committee.
BACKGROUND:
On April 17, 2018, Town Council adopted a resolution (Attachment 1) to establish the General
Plan Update Advisory Committee (GPAC) for the 2040 General Plan update. This resolution
stated that the GPAC would sunset on July 2, 2020, unless extended by the Town Council.
DISCUSSION:
The GPAC has been working diligently, and additional time is necessary so that it can complete
the work on the General Plan update. Attachment 2 contains a draft resolution to extend the
term of the GPAC until July 2, 2021. The work of the GPAC will conclude with a
recommendation of a Draft General Plan to the Planning Commission, expected in April.
Following the public review of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR), the Planning
Commission and Town Council will conduct their public hearings. The Planning Commission
makes a recommendation to the Town Council which is the final decision-making body for both
the EIR and the General Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The General Plan Update Fund has monies available to cover the additional GPAC meetings, the
overall General Plan update, and its Environmental Impact Report.
