mind, Staff is requesting the Commission continue this item to the November 17, 1997 meeting
in order to engage the independent consultant. Butler has contacted a consultants based out of

Butler comments on a Joint Meeting on November 24th at 7:00pm to discuss the consolidation of
the Sewer district with the City of Eagle. There may be a quorum, and the Commission suggests
the Clerk notice it as a special meeting.
Brinton comments the next Joint Meeting is scheduled for December 29th, the Commission
wishes to delay this meeting until after the holidays.
Butler gives a brief overview of the Comprehensive Plan amendments, and the direction the
process will be taking.
Butler notes he has presented Commission with the proposed timeline amendments. Needs a
motion in order to carry the item to the next phase, the public hearing portion. Discussion
between Butler and Commission.
McFadden provides clarification on notice requirement for annexation and rezone, they are quite
different "creatures". Brinton seeks further clarification, which Butler and McFadden provide.
Brinton directs the Zoning Administrator to proceed with the timeline amendments.
Butler notes that it has been suggested that the Commission may wish to be presented with
reports for other agencies, i.e. ACHD, Sewer District, the Fire District. Butler offers to contact
the various entities and see if we could have one report per meeting. Brinton provides his
reasoning for this suggestion. Would also like to have the reports given at the beginning of the
agenda. Wilson questions the status of the Urban Services Planning Area. Butler believes Eagle
no longer has an USP A. Further discussion on having various agencies report. Brinton suggests
possibly compiling a list of the various agencies the Commission desires reports from. Butler
notes that a great many of the agencies already report to the City Council, perhaps there should
be a Planning and Zoning Liaison sent to attend the Council meetings. The Liaison could then
report to the Commission. The various agencies may feel they're reports are redundant ifthey
report to both the Commission and Council. Brinton feels it would be advantageous to the
Commission if they knew where the other groups and bodies are going and what their goals and
objectives are. Butler states he will contact some of the agencies and get the ball rolling.
Perhaps there could be a Pre-Commission meeting for reports. Brinton prefers simply placing
the reports at the beginning of the regular meeting.
Farnworth questions if Commission members should be appointed to attend meetings of other
agencies. Brinton states he does not have time to attend any other meetings. Brinton feels the
article IV in the bylaws is pertaining to liaisons to any committee which the Commission has
control over as far a subcommittees ofthe Planning and Zoning. Farnworth believes that when
he first came to the Commission that other members where liaisons to various agencies. Butler
feels that as a Chairman or Commission they could choose to be a liaison to any committee or
agency. This is what the Coun~il does, each member is assigned to different agencies. Brinton
feels that some ofthose are assignments, and if anyone has a desire to be in a particular area then
let Chairman Bradley know and he is sure it could be arranged.
Brinton requests clarification on when the new bylaws will be implemented. McFadden provides
clarification on when the new bylaws will take effect. The next Commission meeting will be at
7:00 pm.
The Commission formally welcomes Fred Wilson to the Commission.
