7:57 ↗ thank you Mary Paulie I have no report

7:59 ↗ tonight thank you councilmember hunt

8:02 ↗ thank you madam mayor the Planning

8:04 ↗ Development and environment committee

8:06 ↗ met on December 6th of 2022 and we had

8:09 ↗ one item which was ID 1273 Title 18 land

8:12 ↗ use code Consolidated draft however this

8:15 ↗ wasn't actually the Consolidated draft

8:17 ↗ yet this was a discussion about the

8:19 ↗ preferred process for reviewing the

8:22 ↗ title 18 Consolidated draft

8:24 ↗ we at the committee talked about the

8:26 ↗ process for this review and

8:30 ↗ our main

8:32 ↗ idea was that we would use the goals and

8:34 ↗ outcomes chart which we've been using

8:36 ↗ throughout this whole process to guide

8:38 ↗ the review process as well so we would

8:39 ↗ use that chart to to tick through the

8:42 ↗ goals and use that to determine how well

8:44 ↗ we have achieved those goals and how

8:47 ↗ well

8:48 ↗ um

8:49 ↗ our Title 18 meets the outcomes that we

8:52 ↗ intended

8:54 ↗ the code testing will also be used to

8:56 ↗ answer questions from the umbrella list

8:58 ↗ which was part of those goals about

9:00 ↗ usability and how how easy the code is

9:04 ↗ to use for people that have different

9:06 ↗ interests and then we also talked about

9:09 ↗ wanting to make sure that staff have

9:12 ↗ used the code and to get that feedback

9:14 ↗ from staff about how easy it is to use

9:17 ↗ and and consistent how easy it is to use

9:20 ↗ consistently as well which is one of our

9:22 ↗ other goals

9:24 ↗ um then we also talked about how the

9:27 ↗ commissions would we thought that the

9:29 ↗ commissions could also use the goals and

9:30 ↗ outcomes chart to review Title 18 and

9:34 ↗ um

9:34 ↗ one thing that we thought was very

9:36 ↗ important was that the commissions have

9:38 ↗ context about why the last remaining

9:41 ↗ policy questions are being asked of them

9:43 ↗ there are some remaining policy

9:45 ↗ questions that either have gone back to

9:47 ↗ committee or have been raised through

9:49 ↗ the code testing process or have been

9:51 ↗ raised by individuals that weren't

9:52 ↗ resolved at other times and so we agreed

9:56 ↗ with that list but wanted to make sure

9:58 ↗ that the context was provided to them

9:59 ↗ and that the same context was provided

10:01 ↗ to us as the council when all of those

10:05 ↗ final decisions come back to us for the

10:07 ↗ final Consolidated draft review

10:11 ↗ um I since this is coming back to

10:13 ↗ council full Council pretty soon I

10:15 ↗ wanted to also offer that if Council has

10:18 ↗ any feedback for us as the committee

10:21 ↗ that will first see the Consolidated

10:22 ↗ draft please let me know at good at the

10:25 ↗ order

10:26 ↗ and uh then we have another meeting of

10:29 ↗ the Planning Development and environment

10:30 ↗ committee tomorrow January 4th 2023 and

10:34 ↗ we interrupt your regularly scheduled

10:36 ↗ Title 18 programming to talk about

10:38 ↗ something different we have one item

10:40 ↗ tomorrow which is id1092 which is the

10:42 ↗ contractor code of conduct and then we

10:44 ↗ will return to Title 18 at our February

10:46 ↗ meeting that concludes my report thank

10:49 ↗ you for the update and as a reminder
