Subcommittee Recommendation Direct a City Council-appointed Steering Committee, City Staff and a hired consultant work together to do the following: Evaluate the MSP using studies already completed on behalf of the City and any new studies as recommended by consultant to determine to what degree that the MSP is adding to the health of the City and to the degree that is necessary to avoid the negative consequences of doing nothing. Identify areas of the Marinship where improvements can be made to the MSP to add to the health of the City and to avoid the negative consequences of doing nothing. Develop a community engagement plan and a property owner outreach program. Recommend changes to the MSP as required. 2. Appoint a Steering Committee subject to the Brown Act to be composed of five members appointed by the City Council and two City Council liaisons appointed by the Mayor. The City Council should provide direction on the make-up of the five members appointed by the Council.
