MOTION: Council Member Headding moved the Council direct staff to follow the accelerated implementation schedule described in Agenda Item C-2, as outlined by Mr. Livick, and also that we continue to schedule routine meetings of the WRFCAC subcommittee and that if there were issues that needed to come to Council in the event that a WRFCAC meeting could not be scheduled and/or convened prior that were critical issues, that those be brought to Council and dealt with at that level, hopefully mitigating some of the issues of concern.
