Councilmember Samuel seconded the motion. AYES: MAYOR MOUTON, MAYOR PRO TEM DURIO, COUNCILMEMBERS GETZ, TURNER, FELDSCHAU, SAMUEL AND NE;ILD NAYS: NONE MOTION PASSED Resolution 22-232 WORK SESSION Review and discuss the creation of an ad hoc Downtown Planning & Development Advisory Committee to advise and act as a steering committee for planning and development efforts in Downtown Beaumont 12. Consider a resolution approving the creation of an ad hoc Downtown Planning & Development Advisory Committee. With the upcoming repair of Riverfront Park and a widespread desire to develop properties along Beaumont's riverfront, the City is now beginning the process of developing a new Downtown Plan in the coming months. In order to better guide this process, it is recommended that an ad hoc Downtown Planning & Development Advisory Committee be established. This ad hoc steering committee is proposed to be comprised of nine members. The proposed Committee composition is patterned after the ad hoc committee established by a prior City Council to evaluate recycling within the city. Each Councilmember would appoint one member and the mayor would appoint three members, one of whom would serve as Chairman. Staff liaisons would also serve the Committee. The establishment of this ad hoc would also satisfy a requirement of the amended purchase agreement of 555 Main. During a discussion of this issue at the September 13, 2022, meeting of the City Council, there was some consideration of establishing a more formal, standing commission rather than a temporary ad hoc committee. Of course, whether to create the Committee, its composition and its membership would be at the discretion of the Council. Council conducts the Work Session and approves the resolution. Minutes -- September 27, 2022 Councilmember Samuel moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT AN AD HOC COMMITTEE BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING THE ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS IN DOWNTOWN BEAUMONT AND THAT THE COMMITTEE SHALT. BE COMPOSED OF NINE (9) MEMBERS, THREE (3) APPOINTED BYTHE MAYOR AND ONE (1) APPOINTED BY EACH CITY COUNCILMEMBER. THE MAYOR SHALL NAME ONE OF THE MEMBERS AS CHAIRMAN AND ONE AS VICE-CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE SHALL SERVE WITHOUT COMPENSATION AND SHALL SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, THIS ITEM WILL COME BACK TO COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE LIST OF NAMES FOR THE COMMITTEE.
