To promote and enhance meaningful opportunities to work with community members on the City’s planning projects, Springfield’s CCI appoints planning advisory committees per Springfield’s adopted Citizen Involvement Program. Attachment 1 provides information about applicants’ background as relevant to the CCI’s decision and their detailed responses to project-specific questions. Staff used an open process to recruit potential members. This process ranged from placing printed informational fliers and applications at community centers, posting on social media, a news release, features in newsletters, and direct outreach. Attachment 2 lists specific recruitment activities.

Discussion
The role of the TAC will be to:
• Identify, discuss, and resolve technical issues and concerns
• Provide data and information, as requested
• Review and provide feedback on draft work products in a timely manner
The TAC will provide input to staff on specific questions and on the code and plan audit, concepts, and proposed amendments but will not formally vote or provide a recommendation to Planning Commission or City Council.

The role of the Governance Committee will be to facilitate alignment of the City Council and Planning Commission and to provide policy-level direction to the project team when it is not practical to convene the City Council. Council’s direction at the March 3, 2025 work session was to convene the Governance Committee on an ad hoc basis to meet over the summer months when they are on recess. The Governance Committee will be comprised of two City Councilors and two Planning Commissioners tasked to provide updates to their respective bodies.
