#3 – Floodplain Appeals Board: Stuart Kent advised that back in November the
floodplain ordinance was updated and requires an Administrative Appeals Board. This
board will hear and decide appeals and requests for variances in accordance with the
Floodplain ordinance. Any variance granted by the Floodplain Appeals Board must be
approved by the Floodplain Board, which is full Council. It was discussed to have a
5-member board, which will consist of a City of Glendale Building Safety Official, City
of Glendale Zoning Official, City of Glendale Public Works Director, a City of Glendale
Senior Civil Engineer and one Glendale resident with applicable experience. This board
may meet once a year to discuss floodplain development issues for the past/upcoming
year. Councilmember Martinez and Councilmember Hugh agreed with the above
recommendations. This will be brought to full Council in April to approve this board.
#4 – Boards & Commissions Training: Kristen advised that she will be doing a basic
training class on March 12th and an advanced training class at the end of April. Kristen
expressed the importance of the current members serving to attend this basic training
class, which is mandatory in order to serve on a board/commission.
