PUBLIC COMMENTS: Ms. Diane Kennedy, 805 SE Country Lane, voiced her concerns about the proposed agreement with Habitat for Humanity. She would prefer the money stay in Lee s Summit to help those on fixed incomes or handicapped who need assistance with home improvements, not loans to be repaid. Mr. Dale Coy, 1420 NE Valley Forge Drive, thought the five-year plan scheduled for presentation this evening was very ambitious and an excellent plan. He asked Council to explore a way for concerned citizens and councilmembers to ask questions about the plan before adoption. 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS: Mayor Rhoads mentioned the Downtown Master Plan. Mayor Pro-Tem Gray advised he met with members of Downtown Lee s Summit Main Street (DLSMS) and the discussion was very positive. He updated them on the Council s anticipated process. He also needs to meet with the Economic Development Council (EDC) and the Chamber of Commerce. Mayor added the original Master Plan deliberation was the product of many groups and organizations, so he will be asking the Council for names to serve on a committee. There was further discussion about the meeting with DLSMS and Councilmember Binney asked for minutes from the meeting. He felt the councilmembers from the District 1 should have been involved, since downtown is in District 1.
