DESCRIPTIOI~ :
At the last Tri-Valley Joint Planning Commission meeting in Livermore, a
consensus was reached to agendize the future of the joint meetings on the next
available individual Planning Commission meeting. Robert Brown, Livermore
Planning Director, offered to tabulate the results of the individual Planning
Commissions and, if appropriate, to develop a schedule for future meetings.
A key question regarding the future of the joint meetings is its purpose
and intent. The original intent of the joint meetings was to act as a forum
for Planning Commissioners and Staffs from the Tri-Valley area to:
1 - Establish direct, informal lines of communication with individual
counterparts in other jurisdictions.
2 - Informally exchange ideas, concerns, and comments on matters of
mutual interest.
Between 1983 and 1986, various joint meetings were held with informal
discussion topics ranging from individual planning studies to areawide air
quality maintenance.
In 1986, the direction of the joint meetings changed somewhat with a
request from Alameda County for the Commissioners to review the structure of
an advisory committee to serve Alameda County in its Current Plan review. The
result was a formalized Tri-Valley Technical Advisory Committee that held
meetings for over a year reviewing the policies and plans of the Tri-Valley
jurisdictions. The Committee ultimately prepared a report with policy
recommendations on area planning issues. In this situation, the joint meeting
took on a third role:
3 To provide policy review and policy recommendations.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission define its intent for the
joint meetings. The Planning Commission should indicate whether the joint
meetings should (1) maintain their original intent, (2) include the additional
role, (3) take a different role, or (4) be discontinued.
