For example the capital improvements program - promote and stimulate interest in general planning process. The Planning and Zoning Commission has not taken advantage of the administrative people. Another problem is some of the Council looks at the Planning and Zoning Commission as playing the role of a second city council. Robin Molny, James Breasted and City Administrator Wurl to work on the list of priorities, seperating those which can be delved into by the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to a planner, and those items which will require a planner's assistance. Mr. Wurl explained when the parks and recreation plan was prepared, it was prepared with only the city in mind. Parks and recreation is now under the RSA, so this plan should be looked at in the light of including the county as well, Mr. Wurl explained another problem of the Planning and Zoning is utilizing the city attorney in the wrong way. Do not need to use the City Attorney in the first stage level. Take what you have as a basic policy, outline and then leave it up to the city attorney to put it in ordinance form for Council. Send recommendations to Council be formal resolu- tion. Can use the city attorney to word the resolution that goes to Council. "-"~'-'"~"~-"-"'~-"-~""""Y''-''-'''*'''4'~,.. ...... .
