Manager said'his recollection was that it was decided to let it take its own course for about ~a year and see what happens. Councilman Keller reported tha't no officiii1.l action was 'taken following the Mall Activities Committee report.Mrs~ Beal then stated that the ERA minutes indicate a unanimous decision to encourage Council to setuPPFocedures fforproviding activities, including limited commercial activity,' in the Mall. She wondered if this action would re-open the matter. She suggested Councii take some action on that and perhaps put it on a future agenda and have the ERA present. ERA ~:Director Dave Hunt said it is felt that now is the time to set up procedures before, ....1 space becomes available in the Central Transit Station and other parking structures , i that may be developed. Mrs. Beal felt guidelines should be set,'ana Manager suggested, ~isome inter-staff dialogue and perhaps a committee of the City Council and ERA board ': might be desirable to consider al ternatives.

Cbntinuation of ,Council Discussion from Previous Committee Meeting iCouncil had had a preliminary discussion of Mrs. Beal's suggestion that the costs of igrowth be undertaken by the City. Mr$. Beal said she thinks the study should include not only capital costs but increased costs of service. She wanted to make that amendment, to the original request. Mr. Keller $aid' his concern was whether it is necessaJ;Y. ,He : asked staff to respond to that and also wanted a backyard figure on what is being talked ; about. Manager said no effort has been made at the staff level to pull together an outline of what the study would include, let alone the time or cost, because the understanding was it was not definitely known if the staff would be aske~ to do that. He added that the question of whether the study is necessary is a matter of judgment, that it is always helpful to have updated information about costs so that ther~ will be some notion as to the kinds of commitments being made to future budgeting. It is also helpful to go through the exercise of looking into the future and projecting growth patterns and service requirements to better plan a total program. If this is the appropriate time, or not is not a recommendation staff is prepared to make. Additiona1ly,: there are some proposed areas of discussion in the new Community Goals update effort which would bear upon future growth patterns. These should perhaps -be finalized before knowing the scope of any such study. e. =-- , lMr. Williams said this subject area is scheduled for discussion in the Community Goals :Conference, recommending an update in the entire document. One position paper. deals :with the question of growth. It is not appropriate at this time to state what that ,document calls for, but it is clearly responsive to Mrs. Beal's concern. It will be distributed on the evening of the first Community Goals sessio~May 1 and will be .. 141, 5/6/74 - 14
