Agenda Item 1
Title Annual Review of Commission Standing
Rules
Submitted By Deborah Jones, Staff Liaison
The City That Soars!
Description Draft for a language change in one item in the Planning Commission Standing
Rules
Background
On February 22, 2011, Commissioners voted to approve the Standing Rules for
another year provided the wording is clarified for Item 2 under Process – Public
Hearing. The Commission requested a revision from staff that would put
procedures in chronological order in Item 2. The existing wording puts things out of
chronological order, which seemed awkward to commissioners. A draft for a
revised Item 2 is offered for consideration by the Commission.
Budget Impact None
Attachment(s) Old wording of Item 2 and proposed draft for new wording.
Action(s)

rules.
