boundaries, and he got frustrated when he got e-mails from residents insinuating the council had done so. He asked that those writing such e-mails stop doing so until they had information to the contrary. Assistant City Manager Carlson said the City staff had never been given any direction to pursue annexation in the area in question. Staff had the results of the work done by the River Road/Santa Clara Urban Services Committees, and it was working to implement those recommendations. The final report discussed a transition plan, and many translated that as an annexation plan; however, that was not the intent. Assistant City Manager Carlson pointed out that a transition to City services did not necessarily entail annexation as the transition of services happened all the time in many different ways. Annexation may be the ultimate transition but the City was not actively pursuing it. Mr. Lawless left the meeting. Mr. Kelly did not think that things had changed so fundamentally that staff could not forecast the needed staff resources. He acknowledged the work program was aspirational but he continued to be concerned about the lack of outcomes in the program. Mr. Kelly, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to approve the Historic Review Board Fiscal Year 2005 work program, and to direct staff to return with a Planning Commission work program organized similarly to last year's work program. Mr. Meisner said he would have been able to support the motion if it supported the two work plans and directed staff to return with a time line. Mr. Kelly withdrew his motion. Ms. Taylor withdrew her second. Mr. Kelly, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to amend the motion with the addition of a sentence that read "to direct staff to provide to the council, in a timely fashion, a timeline that differentiated between Planning Commission activities and Planning Division activi- ties.'' Assistant City Manager Carlson clarified with Mr. Kelly that he was proposing that staff provide the council with a time line at a later date, not that the work plan come back for adoption. The amended motion passed unanimously, 6:0. Ms. Taylor moved to amend the work plan by making work task item 43 a high priority. The motion died for lack of a second. The motion as amended passed unanimously, 6:0. The meeting adjourned at 1:28 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dennis M.
