What was the purpose and agenda of the March 19 2025 Transportation and Land Use Committee meeting?
All right, good evening. Good evening. So I would like to call to order the March 19, 2025 Transportation and Land Use Committee meeting. This room has a hearing loop. If you need hearing assistance, switch your hearing aids to telecoil mode. If you need a headset, we have those available as well. Please see the clerk to request one. All right, so let's do the Pledge of Allegiance.
God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So we have no items proposed for the consent agenda. And because we had such a late night last night, thank you, Dan, for sticking with it. We're going to make this a short meeting. I said we were going to, so mark my words. So we'll start with the first information item, the Administrative and Legislative Land Use Review Assessment. And we have Mr. Kroboth, we have Mr. Lindo, we have Ms. Smith, and then also our consultant. So thank you so much for being here. All right, so do you have a presentation? yes thank you uh committee chair to crony chair randall board members good evening this information is the first of many touch points that this work group will be before the committee to provide status reports and receive feedback on the land use review assessment study as we work
through the implementation over the next 18 to 24 months. You've taken care of my introductions. I will say that our consultant here is Nancy Zelke. She was the lead on the project and she will also be the lead assisting us with the implementation and tracking and reporting. So our goal this evening is to provide you with a high-level summary, somewhat similar to what was presented to you previously, and then basically requesting any feedback that you may have as a committee that you'd like us to take into consideration. We're going to end the presentation, which is kind of a summary of our schedule. So just a little bit of background. This is redundant information from what you've had before. But in December 2023, the board dealt with fund balance issue.
And there was a proposal on the fund balance list of projects to provide funding to complete a comprehensive review of the land use approval processes. So that is really the initiation of this project. So the staff engaged our management consultant, Alvarez and Marsal, and again led by Ms. Delke. And I'll just remind the board that Alvarez and Marsal is a very large company. They have offices all throughout the United States and more than 10,000 employees. They initiated the study in June of 2024 and completed their work in November of 2024 when they published the report that was presented to the board dated November 21st, 2024. You may recall that period of time is when BND was working through a significant backlog in permits because of a couple reasons, not completely landmark all related, but it was exacerbated by staffing needs and vacancies due to retirements and medical leave.
Ultimately the report presented on December 3rd, 2024 and January 22nd, 2025 was endorsed by the board and directed to proceed with implementation and the board directed us to come before the committee here in March and then essentially beginning in June and then every six months thereafter to provide updates to the board on the status. So again, at a very high level, the objective of the study is simply to improve the organizational structure and the operational processes that the departments, which is primarily building and development and planning and zoning, they're supported by many referral agencies like those in the audience here, transportation and capital infrastructure. I think there's in total nearly 40 different referral agencies that are involved in the process.
The consultant's work developed many recommendations and they kind of placed each of those recommendations into one of three different strategy areas. The first of those is alignment of communications and operating practices and we label this process. Strategy two is to strengthen the workforce and provide employee professional development, and we title that people. And the third is to optimize technology tools and improve efficiency and operational benefits, and that's technology.
