General Plan continuance

Asked whether other special meetings were scheduled and was told to watch for agendas of regular meetings.

Supported the extension as good leadership, but asked that statutory deadlines for each element be spelled out in writing and revived the GPAC recommendation to elevate the land use element to the general plan level.

Glad for the continuation and asked whether the public will get proper notice of new meetings and whether energy/geothermal policies will be covered — was told those are separate processes.

East Region Town Hall and LAYPAC member who supports the extension, suggesting maybe more than six months is needed.

Suggested the geothermal element could be expanded to cover energy development, and that local area plan chapters be pulled out of the mandatory general plan content and added later as amendments.

Wants the plan pushed out well beyond six months until a new energy element is done, citing concerns about EGX fracking near the Clear Lake Sewer Plant on the Pluth property.
