Appoint a Steering Committee for the General Plan Update consisting of the organizations on the attached sheet. 2. Direct the Director of Community Development to contact each organization requesting that they nominate a representative within the next two weeks for review by the Internal. Operations Committee and subsequent appointment by the Board of Supervisors. 3 . Approve as a charge to the Steering Committee the tasks outlined on the attached page. 4 . Leave this matter on referral to our Committee until all individual representatives have been nominated. BACKGROUND: Our Committee was asked to recommend membership for a Steering Committee which would supervise the General Plan update on a countywide basis. On March 24, 1986, our Committee met with Tony Dehaesus and Harvey Bragdon as well as Leslie Stewart from the League of Women Voters. We considered the suggested composition from the report approved by the Board on December 17, 1985 as well as additional recommendations made by various organizations in the meantime. As a result, we have prepared the attached listing of organizations which should be invited to nominate a representative to serve on the Steering Committee. It is obvious from the size of the Steering Committee that much of the detailed work will need to be done in subcommittees, or technical advisory committees. Their composition should be left to the judgment of the Steering Committee as they begin working through the tasks they have been assigned.

AREAS OF PRINCIPAL CONCERN: 1. Preparation of an update to the County General Plan. 2. Development of a countywide growth plan that will suggest performance parameters for the General Plan. 3 .

A process should be addressed that will promote effective planning in all areas of the County and will take into consideration the unique characteristics that may be attributable to specific areas of the County.

The need for coordination of growth policies between the County and the cities, especially coordination of land use and transportation planning, bearing in mind that such planning must operate within the existing General Plans of the cities, the amendments to those General Plans, and with the understanding that development projects which have already been approved are to be taken as an accomplished fact.
