He gave an overview of the results of a survey that was conducted with citizens of the City during the community meeting held on March 17, 2007. He advised that the FDCA will review the citizen concerns and may make suggestions or recommendations on how to proceed. He noted that the letter is recommended but, not required; and the letter requesting a "Letter of Understanding" does not limit the City's ability to make other recommended changes to the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Peetz requested that the Board review and make a recommendation to City Council to request a Letter of Understanding from the FDCA. The Board members reviewed, discussed, and made recommended changes to the draft letter. The Board suggested that "Obtainable Housing" be changed to "Housing"; change the word "Provide" to "Research grants, programs, etc. for" more obtainable or affordable housing; and separate the terms: "City Hall/Town Center" because they are two different issues. By unanimous consensus, the Board agreed with the changes, as discussed. Motion by Harry Pearson, seconded by Bea McNeely, to recommend the draft letter, with the suggested changes, to the City Council for approval. Vote on the motion carried unanimously. 3.
