Chair Johnson introduced Mr. Tom Triplett, Senior Policy Advisor to Mayor Kelly. Mr. Triplett
reported on the StreetBeat Project and passed out the final report. The report organizes the
broad range of public input into nine substantive topics. Of those, Mr. Triplett asked the
Planning Commission, on behalf of the Mayor, to focus on three of the topics: riverfront
planning, transportation, and homeless and supportive housing. He elaborated on the initiatives
the Mayor is making in these three areas and suggested how the Planning Commission could
make contributions to community-based decisions for moving ahead on each of the three. Chair
Johnson complemented the Mayor and Mr. Triplett on the StreetBeat process and encouraged
the Commissioners to read the materials.
Commissioner Gordon stated the Planning Commission has a long history of involvement on
riverfront redevelopment, transportation, and housing. All of them are issues addressed in the
City's Comprehensive Plan. He said that the Planning Commission has some expertise in these
areas and would be happy to join in these initiatives. The Planning Commission is in a unique
position to bring neighborhood concerns on these issues together with City department expertise
and to develop recommendations to the Mayor and the City Council.

might be expanded to cover the STAR process at the same time.

Soderholm, and the Commission agreed that it should be reworded.
Commissioner Zimmer Lonettii asked whether the STAR money that has been dedicated to the
