Exhibit 22: City Council Questions to Staff from September 17, 2024 Hearing <br />During its public hearing and consideration of the item on August 12, 2024, the <br />Planning Commission recommended formation of a citizen oversight committee <br />to make recommendations to the City Council on the budgeting and spending of <br />the $22 million community benefit payment; this recommendation is documented <br />in the September 17, 2024 City Council staff report prepared for the item. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Can staff include establishment of an oversight committee for the project? <br /> <br />A revision can be made to Staff Report Exhibit 4 (Ordinance approving the <br />Development Agreement) to establish a citizen oversight committee. The <br />necessary revision would be implemented by modifying Section 3 with a new <br />sentence to read: <br /> <br />The spending of the Community Benefit Payment or similar payment to the City <br />for public benefits referenced by the Development Agreement shall be overseen <br />through a Citizen Oversight Committee, whose formation, structure, purpose, and <br />membership shall be established by Resolution of the City Council, and who shall <br />make recommendations to the City Council prior to budgeting and spending of <br />the first Community Benefit Payment or similar payment by the City, and through <br />subsequent recommendations thereafter prior to the budgeting and spending of <br />the Community Benefit Payments. <br /> <br />4. How will traffic signals be impacted by construction? <br /> <br />The traffic study identified the need for 7 traffic signal improvements which are to <br />be fully funded by the developer. Additionally, there are 6 other impacted <br />intersections where the developer is only responsible for a share of the cost of <br />improvements.
