Item 8A MemoItem 8A 1 M E M O R A N D U M March 13, 2018 To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager From: Ken Baker, Sr. Director of Planning and Development Services Subject: Item 8A: Resolution No. 18-008, Appointing members to the Southlake 2035 Health & Wellness Master Plan Committee. Action Requested: Approval of Resolution No. 18-008, Appointing members to the Southlake 2035 Health & Wellness Master Plan Committee. Background Information: The purpose of this item is to appoint the Southlake 2035 Health & Wellness Master Plan Committee to develop the Southlake 2035 Health & Wellness Master Plan. The City Council has historically appointed committees to work with staff to develop the various Comprehensive Plan elements. On September 19, 2017 during Item 8A (Resolution 17-038) City Council made Committee appointments for the Public Art Master Plan, Youth Master Plan and Water, Waste Water and Storm Water Master Plan. At that meeting City Council did not make a Committee appointment for the Health & Wellness Master Plan, but rather directed staff to come back to a future meeting and provide the Council with an overview of the responsibilities of the Health & Wellness Master Plan Committee in addition to providing details on the frequency of Committee meetings. On December 5, 2017 staff retuned to City Council and during Work Session Item 4C made presentation covering the tentative Health & Wellness Master Plan scope, highlighted objectives of the Health & Wellness Master Plan Committee, provided a project timeline, and ultimately Item 8A 2 received City Council direction to move forward with the development of this new master plan element. City Council asked for staff to take a different approach with this Committee, opting to post applications that could be completed for those interested in joining this Committee. On January 18, 2018 the application was posted to the City’s website, and was open until February 16, 2018. The City received 27 total applications. The Health & Wellness Master Plan represents a new comprehensive plan element for the City of Southlake. Planning and Development Services anticipates the development of this plan lasting from April to September 2018. Adopting of this plan element is expected to be early in FY 2019. Among other things, the Committee will work with staff to review existing City policy documents relating to health and wellness, evaluate the current health & wellness landscape, analyze current and future needs related to health and wellness and Develop and recommend approval of the Health & Wellness Master Plan. The comprehensive plan is a reflection of the community’s values and serves as a blueprint for Southlake’s future. More specifically, the comprehensive plan establishes a framework to coordinate the city’s activities and to guide the city’s decision-making for the next 20 years. As such, the comprehensive plan and its components are updated on a regular basis. Financial Consideration: There is an inherent cost savings associated with developing land use plan elements in house. Although certain plan elements will include consulting work, the plans will be drafted and carried through the development process by City staff. Strategic Link: The proposed resolution aligns with the City Strategy Map under the Focus Areas “Partnerships & Volunteerism” as well as the Corporate Objectives “C5” Promote opportunities for partnerships and volunteer involvement and “C6” Enhance the sense of community by providing excellent customer service and citizen engagement opportunities. This initiative also aligns with the City’s Critical Business Item 8A 3 Outcome of “CBO3” Engage in thoughtful planning to ensure continued high quality development that is integrated well into the current built environment. Citizen Input/ Board Review: N/A City Council: On March 6, 2018 City Council took no action on appointing the Health & Wellness Committee, noting they would appoint the Committee at the March 20, 2018 City Council meeting. Legal Review: None Alternatives: Table the appointment of the Southlake 2035 Health & Wellness Master Plan Committee to a future City Council meeting. Supporting Documents: Resolution No. 18-008 Applications (distributed by the City Secretary’s Office) Presentation Item 8A Presentation Staff Recommendation: City Council appointment of the Southlake 2035 Health & Wellness Master Plan Committee.
