NEW BUSINESS: The Hotel/Motel Ordinance was taken to Council on July 8, 2006 for adoption. This has been a five year project. Council was impressed with the ordinance. It goes to a second meeting on August 22, 2006. This ordinance identifies minimum standards that each hotel or motel has to meet. It will be filed in November 2007 and becomes effective January 1, 2008. The Strategic Plan and Work Program was presented by Nancy Lytle, Development Processing Manager (Planning & Building Department). This document was distributed at the Board meeting in July. This five-year Strategic Plan (2006-2010) describes the Planning and Building Department's responsibilities in implementing the priorities of the City Council, and City Manager's office. The Strategic Plan aligns Planning and Building's functions and programs with the City Council Strategic Themes, the recently adopted General Plan and the Economic Development Strategy. The key goals of the Strategic Plan are: • Achieve the General Plan Vision and Goals — all planning projects must be consistent with those objectives outlined in the City General Plan. • Promote Responsive and Professional Customer Relations — efforts must be made to ensure efficiency and quality when providing service to our City customers. • Communicate Clearly, Fairly, and Professionally—the public should be well informed through professional communication that is readily available. • Ensure a Safe, Sustainable, and Quality Community — City programs and policies must be designed to reflect the most pressing needs of the community based upon the current state of the environment.

Member Monaghan pointed out that on page two, it should be noted that Chair Flach was reappointed after his term expired and also all questions should be bolded for consistency. 5. CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS/REPORT: None BUILDING OFFICIAL'S COMMENTS/REPORT: Mr. Remp led a general discussion on the efforts of code enforcement to encourage people to come in -and get permits for work done on their homes. There is also the problem of abandoned houses which become rundown in the community. Chula Vista has a number of them now. The fee study for the Building Division is being moved forward. The fees haven't been updated since 2001. There are other costs which should be included in a building permit fee. It is expected that we can bring the fee study to the next meeting.
