<br />'dis~ussedon the'8th and .reaqy for adoption by the Cqmmunity Goals Conference JUlle 5~
<br />with presentation 'to' the Council soon thereafter., To ask the ~ta~f to, start down th~s
<br />road now is probably unnecessary. Mr. Murray shared ,Mrs. Beal s ~nterest bu~ concurred'
<br />that the Community GOals ,Conference is really an impor~ant prelude. There w~ll be
<br />~extensive discussion by a vital cross-section of the 'community which will help define
<br />. the feelipgs of the communi ty. Mr. Hershne,r, said that, as he understood Mrs. Beal' s
<br />'request, she is asking that Council ask staff to look into the feasibility and cost of
<br />:a study of what costs will be to the city over the next several years as a result of
<br />: expansion of the city. On the other hand, those' who are 'familiar with the information
<br />in the Community Goals stUqy are saying there will be extensive debate and goals arrived
<br />at ,as to the city's attitude regarding growth. Therefore, until the city's attitude is
<br />I: known, this study cannot 'be conducted. 'Mr. Williams said the Community Goals conference..
<br />: relating to growth will have at least a two-part context and perhaps'more than that. '
<br />,One segment will be to determine the community's attitude in relation to growth, and
<br />: the other will deal with proposals for suggested actions by the city. At least one of
<br />;:them deals with the specific question of costs and impact on the commu'nity at large.
<br />iMrs. Beal concurred with waiting andsuggested it be put on th~ agenda at an early dat:/,
<br />,after the June 5 Community Goals conference. ,u,...u,,,"""-- - Comm
