(25b)Discussion:Developers'Roundtable Council member Stanton brought before the council a concern that the Developers'Roundtable was stepping beyond the original purpose of discussing and proposing to Council new or better ways of managing issues that come before the Council and staff.The purpose of the ad hoc committee was to discuss items prior to Planning &Zoning and prior to Council;so that developers' concerns could be addressed in the planning stage as opposed to the action stage during a councilor P&Z meeting.Council member Stanton mentioned to Council that an item being discussed by the Developers'Roundtable had gone beyond the idea and discussion phase and was weIl into the implementation phase.She indicated that according to the January 31,2005 meeting outline it appeared designs for Development Directional Signage had been completed,a bid had been received for construction,locations for the SigJ1Shad been approved and according to that same meeting outline "SigJ1Sare planned for instaIlation when weather permits."The process the mayor thought we were going to use was that the Developers'Roundtable would outline recommendations,take them to 10 P&Z for input and approval and then take them to Council for their review.He indicated that Development Directional Signage would be presented to the Council prior to any action being taken by the committee.Council member Bailey indicated we have a communication problem.He suggested we should be briefed on what is happening on the various committees.Council member Gruber indicated that the concern (of this item not going before Council)is a little premature in that the committee has to review a discussion item and float a proposal of what could happen -when,where and how- before presenting the discussion to Council.He indicated he didn't like sending memos to council members in the discussion /research phase because what might be proposed one day might be eliminated from the proposal the next day.Council member Peard entered the conversation and indicated that the core duties of the Ad Hoc Committee member from the Council was as a liaison from Council to the Committee and from the Committee to the Council.He also indicated that proposals should be brought before the council before action of any kind is taleen. (26)Ordinance:To Amend Chapter 305,Section 305.4(8),Waukee Municipal Code, Sign Ordinance,by adding as Subsection '4'the following:"Window Signs:All window signs,whether temporary or permanent,shall be restricted to no more than ten (10)percent of the size of the applicable window area.Typical window signs include, but are not limited to:painted sign age,neon beverage signs,sale and product ads,etc. Larger signage can be permitted on a temporary basis pursuant to items 5 and 6 below.
