Approval of Council Minutes for November 17, 1999, Work Session; January 12, 2000, Council Meeting; January 19, 2000, Joint Elected Officials Meeting; and the January 24, 2000, Council Meeting B. Approval and Appointment of Ad hoc Committee on Greater Downtown Visioning Councilor Lee, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to approve the items on the consent calendar. Councilor Kelly pulled item 2B from the consent calendar. Councilor Taylor offered a correction to paragraph 6 on page 6 of the minutes of November 17, 1999. She asked that the word "to" in the first sentence be deleted, and asked that the word "only" be inserted in sentence 2 between the words "cost"and "$2 million." Councilor Rayor offered a correction to the January 24, 2000 minutes on page 3. He said that he had suggested that the 15 acres purchased in the headwaters of Amazon Creek may have partially addressed Councilor Taylor's issues. Councilor Kelly said that the vote on page 1 of the January 19 minutes indicated a 5:0 vote, when it should have indicated a 6:0 vote. In response to a question from Councilor Kelly regarding the available number of slots on the Ad Hoc Committee on Greater Downtown Visioning, Mr. Lew Bowers said that there were 16 slots available. In response to Councilor Kelly's concerns about approving the committee membership with 7 slots still empty, Mr. Bowers replied that the council would be asking the approved members to choose people to fill the empty slots. Councilor Kelly raised concern over the charge of the committee. He said that the charge had been developed around council-approved work plans and was defined by those plans. He suggested striking subsections of the plan that got into specifics. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to amend the charge of the committee to strike the balance of the charge starting with the phrase "Specific priority issues." Roll call vote; the amendment passed 5:1, with Councilor Farr in opposition. Councilor Lee, seconded by Councilor Farr, moved to amend the motion to appoint Gary Rayor to the committee. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0. Councilor Nathanson clarified with Councilor Kelly that the intent of striking the section was not disagreement that any of those items should be discussed but to be sure that the committee would be discussing things in light of the work plan that was already adopted.
