Mayor & City Council
Steven B. Ach, City Planner~b~_~
February 5, 1996
Consider Sending Two Planning
Commission Members to National
Conference
Background
At the January 22, 1996, City Council meeting, the Council approved sending
one Planning Commission member to the National Planning Conference.
The City Council requested additional information regarding the conference
before approving a second commission member to attend the conference.
In my memo to the City Council on January 22, I mistakenly represented
that the 1996 Planning Commission budget provided for one Planning
Commission member to attend the National Conference with any additional
members needing Council approval. In actuality, since 1994 the Planning
Commission budget has included expenditures for two commission members
to attend the National Conference. However, even though two commission
members have been budgeted each year, it wasn't until last year that two
commission members actually attended the National Conference.
Summary of Conference
This year's conference is being held in Orlando, Florida during April 13-17.
The conference has always provided a broad cross-section of topics for both
the professional and citizen planner. In fact, the conference has specific
sessions and breakfast meetings for Planning Commission members. In
addition to the typical conference sessions held at the hotel, there is also an
entire selection of mobile workshops. These workshops are either walking or
bus tours of specific sites to experience first hand "real life" planning issues.
Attached for your review is a copy of the conference program.

Orlando, with a four percent annual growth rate, is also a
good object lesson. The thrust of the conference program
is going to be planning in the real world-the type of
snburban and growth management planning 95 percent of
APA members are doing. There's so much to learn from
Sun Belt cities such as Orlando.
Plan now to attend the 1996 APA National Planuing
Conference in Orlando with your family. You don't want
to miss it.

"The national conference offers the besl
plauning commissioner training anywhere.
Becoming more educated gives me the

extremely valuable."
