A Development Collaborative Advisory Committee (DCAC) was formed in July 2007 in response to the Turlock City Council’s direction to try and fix the bad reputation the City of Turlock had for doing business with. The DCAC and its functions have been reauthorized by Council every two years since it was founded, but may now be a permanent committee.
At a 6pm Special Joint Turlock City Council and DCAC Meeting to be held before the regular scheduled 7pm City Council Meeting, the Council will consider a request to establish the DCAC as a permanent committee and adopt bylaws.
The Turlock City Council will also be presented with the DCAC Annual Report for 2011 at the special meeting.
The DCAC, is a group of development related industry representatives and members of the public. The purpose is to provide a forum that enables the public and city staff to introduce and discuss suggestions, comments, and concerns regarding the procedure and processes of the city’s development services function and assists in the assessment of public education topics and methods of delivery. The committee provides feedback as well as recommendations with regard to the process of developing and building in Turlock. The DCAC seeks public input opportunities.
The benefit of the DCAC to the City of Turlock is through providing support and assistance to the Development Services Department (DSD) by creating a formalized avenue for feedback on changes and enhancement to customer service processes. The Committee will provide for greater citizen participation in the review of DSD operations and heighten the perception of DSD. The City of Turlock DSD is looking for the support and assistance of the DCAC in identifying mechanisms, processes and technology that make our internal processes transparent to all of our customers. Specifically, the goals are to involve, educate, update, communicate and facilitate all of our customers through the development processes.
