DISCUSSION The EQTF was established in Fall 1993 as an ad hoc advisory body, with an original sunset date in Spring 1994. As requested by the EQTF, Council extended the date through November 1994. In extending the EQTF, Council approved EQTF's recommended work program (attached). Council has received EQTF recommendations on updates of the Land Use Element, the Circulation Element, and the Water Management Element. The EQTF has asked for another time extension, through February 1995 (attached letter from Chairman), to complete what the work program refers to as the "final report" or "sustainability plan." An EQTF subcommittee has done part of the final report, but more time is needed to complete the draft and to refine it with the participation of the whole EQTF membership. Extending the EQTF as requested would allow their official final report to be considered with the budget, but after the Council goal-setting process in January. ALTERNATIVES Council may: 1. Extend the EQTF indefinitely until the final report is done. 2. Do not grant a time extension. (Council could encourage submittal of the final report, when finished, as a product of the EQTF members who remain involved.) 3. In order to be compatible with the Council's goal setting process, extend the EQTF for six weeks, through January 17, 1995.

As the Chairman of the Environmental Quality Task Force, I am proud that we have been able to make a significant contribution to the city's debate on the Land Use Element, the Water Management Element, and the Circulation Element. Each of these projects took a significant amount of time and has left us with one report to go ( the "Vision Report") and out of time. We feel strongly that this is, in fact, the most' important product we will develop for the city. Now that our members are back from vacation/relocated after the fire/etc. and ready to go again, we anticipate that it will take us until the end of February to complete the report. We are therefore requesting you •extend our service through February 1995. Thank you for your support and encouragement in this important task.
