Approval of Minutes
A motion was made by Commissioner Lorberbaum, seconded by Commissioner Neuharth to approve the minutes of the April 6, 2011 ARC meeting. Motion passed unanimously. 2009 ARC Work Plan Chair Sloan reviewed the 2009 work plan that was developed by the ARC. The action
items were prioritized and tasks were assigned to different individuals. Commissioners
who were not a part of the process asked a number of questions on how certain goals
were tracked and/or enforced. Commissioners shared thoughts on the history of the plan
and how issues were deemed successful, etc. City Administrator David McKnight commented that he thought it would be a good idea to update the plan throughout 2011 for 2012. A draft of the 2012 plan will be brought back to the commission starting in June for everyone to work on. 60 DNL Update
City Administrator McKnight shared that the city council had reacted positively to the
ARC’s request to change the city noise attenuation level to 60 DNL from 65 DNL. This
issue will have to go through the Planning Commission and back to the council since it
requires a change to the zoning ordinance. Commission Items of Interest Chair Sloan continued the discussion on the items of interest that he hopes commissioners would be willing to work on. All of the commissioners agreed this was a good idea and assigned the following items for tracking:
