Background and Analysis:
Having started the Comprehensive Plan Update process in 2009, members of the Olympia Planning Commission (OPC) are now preparing to enter the final stage of their role in the Comprehensive Plan Update: determining final recommendations for the City Council.
 
The Final Deliberations are noted in the Charter as the time when the public record closes, Commissioners consider the public input from throughout the process, and conduct final votes on the recommendations of Council.
 
Four meetings in November and December (November 5, 12, 19, and December 3) are dedicated to Final Deliberations. The Comprehensive Plan Update Sub-Committee (CPU) has been identified in the Charter as the appropriate body to provide leadership to OPC on the deliberation process, including the Final Deliberations.
