• <br />City of Falcon Heights <br />Planning Commission <br />Date: 1 /22/96 <br />Action Item: 2 <br />ITEM: Proposed change in planning commission meeting date to first <br />Tuesday of the month or alternative <br />SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator <br />Carla Asleson, Administrative Assistant/Planner <br />EXPLANATION/DESCRIPTION: <br />The planning commission currently meets on the 4th Monday of the month and <br />their recommendations are acted upon by the city council on the 4th Wednesday of <br />the month. This time line can be cumbersome because of the short amount of time <br />between the two meetings. Both the planning commission and city council <br />agendas are prepared on the preceding Friday, so information about the planning <br />• commission's recommendations do not reach the city council until the night of their <br />meeting. <br />Periodically, there is a need for more time between the two meetings. Staff <br />sometimes needs to revise their staff report to the city council based upon the <br />planning commission's direction or an applicant may wish to revise his or her plans <br />prior to the city council meeting. <br />Therefore, staff proposed moving the planning commission meeting date to a night <br />on the 1st or 3rd week of the month to allow a complete week between the <br />planning commission and city council meetings. After reviewing the city's other <br />meeting dates, the best meeting date appears to be the 1st Tuesday of the month <br />(the 1st Monday of the month was eliminated due to elementary school PTA <br />meetings and the 1st Wednesday and Thursday were eliminated because of other <br />city meetings.) If the 1st Tuesday is not a possibility, the 3rd Monday or 3rd <br />Tuesday of the month would be workable alternatives. <br />Action Requested: <br />• Discuss commissioner schedules <br />• • Motion to move planning commission meeting date <br />
