BUSINESS
Ken Sherbenou presented information on the 1% for the Arts fund in response to a letter the GJCAC sent
to City Council regarding the fund earlier in the year. It was explained the City took it seriously, and
conversations were had with multiple departments including Engineering and Finance to ensure the City
could provide an accurate response, which mainly had to do with understanding how the 1% for the Arts
works in terms of mechanics and eligible projects. 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 …

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.
