There was discussion on past 1% for the Arts projects listed in the presentation. There was concern among the Commission that the presented information made it look like there were more funds spent on 1% for the Arts projects then there should have been, and did not want to be held accountable for overspending when it was those project amount …

1 Housing Affordability Code Task Force Meeting Summary 8.20.26 Consultant / Code Simpliﬁcation Project Update Staff provided an update on the consultant procurement process for the review of the Land Development Code and TEDS Manual. The consultant scope has been reﬁned to focus speciﬁcally on identifying opportunities to simplify regulations while maintaining desired outcomes. The review is expected to distinguish among: • Simpliﬁcations that can be made without changing policy outcomes. • Simpliﬁcations that would change an existing outcome and therefore require additional discussion. • Simpliﬁcations that may conﬂict with broader City policy, requiring policy-level consideration. The consultant scope also includes approximately four to eight engagement sessions with the Task Force and City staff. The consultant will prepare recommendations and assist in carrying them through the Planning Commission and City Council processes. Staff indicated the goal is to complete the overall effort, including the public hearing process, during the ﬁrst quarter of 2027, before beginning the Comprehensive Plan update in the second quarter. Revised consultant proposals were due the following day, with a negotiation/interview meeting scheduled for September 1, 2026.
