PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM:
TO: Steve Fitzgibbons, City Manager
FROM: Leslie E. HcHahen, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: March 13, 2002
SUBJECT: Citizens' Pipeline Advisory Committee
All but one of the City Council's appointments to the above referenced committee
expired in November 2001 and to date none of the members with expired terms
have been re-appointed. The City Secretary's office had polled the committee
members to see which ones were willing to serve again and found that only four of
the nine would consider reappointment. Attached is a list of the members of the
Committee with their term expiration dates.
We have at least three (3) pipeline applications that are in various stage of
preparation that may require the committee to meet and make recommendations to
the Council on the issuance of permits. The committee meets only for the major
pipeline permit applications as stated in Chapter 14 of the Code of Ordinances, and
it is anticipated that at least one of the three applications will be for a major permit.
tn view of the pending applications and the length of time it would take to appoint a
full committee, [ request that the City Council suspend the requirement of the
Committee's review until at least a quorum of the Committee is appointed. Further,
if the City Council cannot find people who are willing to serve on the committee and
who can attend meetings with relatively short notice, ! recommend that the City
Council abolish the committee and let the staff reassume complete control of the
major pipeline permit application process.
! will be happy to discuss this matter with you in detail.
