ATTACHMENTS:
DISCUSSION: On February 2, 2015 the CCI reviewed two applications for two positions on the CAC,
and recommended appointment of Devon Ashbridge and Vincent Martorello. The CCI also reviewed and approved staff’s recommendation to modify the committee roster in order to recruit another Downtown Business or Property Owner to serve on the
committee. The committee vacancy has been advertised through a City media release and through communications to a range of interested parties.
The new appointments and proposed recruitment will bring new expertise and community representation to the committee.
The Downtown CAC provides City planning advisory functions associated with the implementation of the Downtown Urban Design Plan and Implementation Strategy,
including updates to the Downtown Refinement Plan and Springfield Development Code — consistent with the City’s Goal 1 Citizen Involvement program. The CAC also provides input on initiatives intended to improve the physical appearance, safety and
vitality of Downtown.
